Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

  • The State of Consumer AI: AI’s Consumer Tipping Point Has Arrived - Only 3%* of US AI users are willing to pay for it.

    Jump

  • A survey with the takeaways really gussying up AI and how people that don't use AI haven't had their aha moment yet.

  • Sanders Says Every Republican Who Backed Trump-GOP Budget 'Must Pay a Price at the Ballot Box'

    Jump

  • That's where the resistance has to last 16 to 40 months, slowing down and making people aware enough of these things:

    • how unserious about budgets Republicans are
    • how much they are trying to punish regular people (poor middle and moderately wealthy class),
    • while also looking to use the they are spending to subsidize companies, multi-millionaires and billionaires.

  • GOP lawmaker caught dumping Medicaid provider stock before megabill vote

    Jump

  • He got many non-budgetary provisions out from the Byrd rule, which is essentially enforcing the rules that allow the thin Republican majority to pass a budget.

    But the Republican Senate also made up an accounting magic trick to pretend that a several trillion dollar budget line item has no effect on the deficit. And pretended that this is now a rule because 51 senators think this is a good idea.

    Senate Democrats did virtually everything within the legislative process that they could on their own.

    House Leader Jeffries did at least delay the vote for 8 hours, 44 minutes to talk about the bill, and bring it to the afternoon news cycle instead of at 4am.

  • Republicans Are Cutting Medicare. Not Only Medicaid, Medicare. Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill will force mandatory sequestration that will mean half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts.

    Jump

  • From Obama-care to Republi-kill.

  • ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it

    Jump

  • Clearly it's just safety minded individuals acquiring it. This app helps keep communities safe from unmarked armored vehicles filled with masked criminal cop impersonators.

  • 'Necessary to quell the rebellion': DOJ tells 9th Circuit that Trump can deploy National Guard from every state and can't be second-guessed by judges

    Jump

  • What hardware does not support Linux?

    Jump

  • Some DACs have Windows only official drivers...

    I have an Akai EIE Pro that I have not been able to use, though it seems there are experimental user made Linux Drivers I have not tried to compile yet.

  • YouTube: Robotic translation annoys users and cannot be turned off

    Jump

  • As far as I can tell on Newpipe you can select the audio language track between dubbed, not dubbed. (Not sure if it's usercreated audio tracks only or includes the ai ones too).

  • Elon Musk breaks silence on Trump bill: 'Utterly insane and destructive'

    Jump

  • Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship plan

    Jump

  • It's also a very bold assumption of mine that they would try to do anything more than the status quo even if they did manage to retake power, predicated on the Democratic Party being massively reformed. If there was ever a time to reform the Dems, that's right now, years before midterms or a US general election.

  • Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship plan

    Jump

  • More bad behavior from the Roberts Supreme Court. Write it down, Democrats.

    I'm just going to keep putting "bad behavior / bad behaviour" in the thread of each new piece of SCOTUS' deliberate ignorance of democracy, constitution and the rule of law. You'll be able to search my profile for it, and maybe Democrats can do something about it if they can retake power.

  • What are some good discussion communities on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Oh, right, good to know.

  • Jigsaw Trolley Problem

    Jump

  • Hoping to select the door with a goat, that will headbutt the switch for me.

  • What are some good discussion communities on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Clinton’s Endorsement of Cuomo Is Grotesque but Predictable

    Jump

  • "And I will add, I did NOT have any sexual relations with that man, Andrew Cuomo" - Clinton, probably.

  • Removed

    What happened to old Internet Forums?

    Jump

  • I'm just going to assume Left Wing Orthodoxy means not being a bigot, i.e. paying a minimum respect to minority groups and showing a little bit of empathy. Voat used to be a thing where shitheads flocked, that's been gone for a while. The Fediverse edgelord troll habitats were Wolfballs and ExplodingHeads, those died years ago after being widely defederated there was no one left for them to troll.

    !conservative@lemm.ee used to be a lite version of Conservative echochamber news, but it turned into a satirical version of itself eventually and the instance is shutting down next week.

    So no, there's currently no place for shitheads and trolls on the connected Fediverse, but we do have a growing selection of niche hobby communities, still small but they're up and coming.

  • Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day

    Jump

  • So, Tesla Robitaxis drive like a slightly drunk and confused tourist with asshole driving etiquette.

    Those right turns on red were like, "oh you get to go? That's permission for me to go too!"

  • Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by how the world is going this year?

    Jump

  • I mean as a Canadian, I knew that was coming since early last year if Trump would win. I couldn't know where we would land on the spectrum between nothing changed and Armageddon. What I did know was that, without fail, I would hear what stupid thing Trump did just about every day in the news, and it would be overwhelmingly exhausting.

    I have three pieces of advice. First, connect with the people around you offline, reinforce your ground truth. Second is keep your eyes on the ball of what you want to be better in the world so that you can keep going after it. Lastly, don't let right or left wing online propaganda, or the despair from crises the US, Israel, Russia, China or North Korea stir up paralyze you from taking action on those two things.

  • I dare say also the inspiration for Rick James' hair

    Jump

  • Give it (that hairstyle) to me, baby.
