The words in the headline have the right outline and position. The paper looks exactly as pixelated as his shirt. The corner of the photo looks diagonal because that's where the paper is folded. I don't see evidence of fakery in any of these things.

There could be AI face replacement going on but there's no evidence for that either. The photo is not a great way to prove life when the Internet's full of high quality fake images and videos, but it doesn't look especially suspicious either.

Argh, now we've all caught it from you.

Yes, fascist eugenics is the only thing that makes sense of current US Government policies.

They vibe coded the song.

How else will you make it so that people can't find anything better to do than work for a pittance and shop?

Also defunding arts, sciences, academia, and anything that might improve people's lives, and making minorities suffer more.

It's OK, we already have even worse people to continue his work.

The scariest thing about our surveillance culture is how we internalize it and change our behaviour without even realizing it. The other scariest thing is that it stops us talking to one another, so that we can never organize to improve the dystopia we live in.

You won't know if you're being influenced by propaganda. You'll feel you're immune if it's working well.

Propaganda usually works at a deeper level. It can nudge your attention towards some things and away from others, so that you don't even realize you could have attended to other things. It can frame what you consider important or unimportant. It can subtly influence what facts you're exposed to, or what you consider a fact from a trustworthy source. It can nudge your emotions and perceptions of trustworthiness, shape your unquestioned narratives and unconscious assumptions, influence how you form associations, mold your incentives, and determine what you'll never see or hear and never know you're missing. There are many voices in this world that, by design, you haven't heard, and others that, by design, you don't consider worth listening to.

Forming an opinion involves prior beliefs, definitions, and judgements about credibility and what counts as evidence. Propaganda steers these steps, not just the conscious opinion-forming you are aware of. By the time you're aware that you're forming an opinion based on facts, propaganda has often already done its work, and if you wind up undecided that might be exactly the intended result.

It's pretty sad that some people are so lonely even AI feels like companionship. The issue isn't that these older people are undiscerning and easily pleased, it's that they're desperately lonely.

Schiff should be campaigning to influence the people that started the trade war and continue to threaten the USA's traditional allies and trade partners. Those people are in the US Government, not in Canada.

And Meredith Lilly sounds like a traitor, who is also pressuring Canada to back down and make life easier for Trump.

Meredith Lilly, who worked as an advisor to former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, believes the provinces are “overstepping their jurisdiction” with the ban.
The Carleton University professor and Simon Reisman Chair in International Economic Policy says she expects there are a number of conversations happening behind the scenes and hopes the federal government is pushing to get booze back on the shelves, and that provinces are listening.
“International trade negotiations are a federal responsibility, not a provincial responsibility, and so it’s my view that the provincial premiers should be working collaboratively with Ottawa and taking signals from Ottawa about what would be the best approach,” she told CTV News.
She says the trade irritant has “become quite a personal issue” for American officials on the file, including United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
“It seems like this is one of the measures that could be taken quite easily to move the conversation forward in a more constructive way,” Lilly said.

Maybe the wording of the headline isn't very important, but that word "debate" makes it sound awfully polite and non-urgent. These are murdering, state-sponsored, fascist thugs with no accountability, engaged in a brutal campaign of white supremacist ethnic cleansing. There's no debate to be had, because anyone who supports it has already embraced a fascism that rejects ethics and reason for the violent enforcement of their own will.

I know my colleagues and former colleagues, and have reason to be confident it didn't.

I think it's fine for people to give the most cursory explanation here, just enough to help someone understand what's funny. There are plenty of other sites where one can learn about Rust's borrow checker in more detail, and this is a humor community.

I wouldn't expect anyone to know about it unless they had taken an interest in Rust. It's pretty unusual.

legacy code at least used to make sense at some point in the past.

That assumption doesn't hold where I work.

Oh, ooh, I think I know why! It's because Trump is a pedo rapist (and possibly murderer) and he is protecting his rich, powerful friends who are also pedo rapists (and possibly murderers)! Call me crazy but I really think I've figured it out!

Yes, I have always enjoyed trying to create elegant architecture and code, more than I get satisfaction from the end result. I've always found it frustrating how many colleagues were prepared to throw together any old junk as long as the right thing came out in the end. On the positive side, maybe the AI does raise the quality of what some of them contribute.

Maybe they edited READMEmd by hand.

This is the new normal, it seems. My developer colleagues are bragging about how long it has been since they wrote a line of code.
