  • White House adds plaques below Biden and Obama portraits, calling them ‘the worst President in American history’ and ‘divisive’

  • Electing a relatable president that one identifies is understandable. Stupid, but understandable. Unfortunately a large chunk of the American electorate are apparently fucking assholes.

  • Coast Guard enacts policy calling swastikas, nooses ‘potentially divisive’ | A new workplace harassment manual that downgrades the definition of such symbols quietly went into effect this week.

  • I know, I was just trying to make a joke.

  • I suppose they're not divisive internally if one ensures that everyone in the organisation is fucking awful in the same way.

    No one is asking for AI, you weirdos!

  • Wouldn't want to go as far as actually doing something about the orange buffoon though.

  • Facing internal revolt, Mike Johnson's days as Speaker of the House are clearly numbered

  • Hopefully it ends the same way. Soon.

  • TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiber

  • But is peristalsis not being stimulated enough normally due to lack of fibre?

  • Does this connect with the American thing about coffee making them shit?

  • I'm perplexed as to why there's so much advertising and pushing for AI. If it was so good it would sell itself. Instead it's just sort of a bit shit. Not completely useless but in need of babysitting.

    If I ask it to do something there's about a 30% chance that it made up the method/specifics of an API call based on lots of other similar things. No, .toxml() doesn't exist for this object. No, I know that .toXml() exists but it works differently from other libraries.

    I can make it just about muddle through but mostly I find it handy for time intensive grunt work (convert this variable to the format used by another language, add another argparser argument for the function's new argument, etc..).

    It's just a bit naff. It cannot be relied on to deliver consistent results and if a computer can't be consistent then what bloody good is it?

    A question for those who have a partner, how did you manage to do it and how long did it take?

    Jump

  • I went to and organised Reddit meetups. One of the people who went didn't believe me that I'm Swedish (we were in Scotland and despite growing up in Wales I have an oddly posh English accent). She phoned her Swedish friend to catch me out, which didn't work, much to her chagrin. Said friend demanded a photo of me as payment. We started talking a little while later and it became immediately apparent that we were a perfect match. We've been together for thirteen years.

    Don't go to things to meet a partner, but to build the connections that might bring you into contact with people that might be interested. In the meantime you'll have fun (hopefully), improve your social skills, and generally avoid dying alone.

  • Sure, but that sounds insane compared to just blocking out the time in the next four years.

  • Whilst I don't eat mouldy bread intentionally (as in, it will have happened without me noticing on occasion) what's the actual potentially bad thing that happens if one does? Specifically?
