  • Tucker Carlson claims he was mauled by a demon while asleep, leaving claw marks

    Jump

  • Yeah seriously! Why does it have to be a Christian supernatural force? It could just be Baba Yaga "reaching out" as it were, to a kindred spirit.

    Why couldn't it be the fae trying to pull him into their world? Or perhaps an evil yokai finally tracked him down?

    Maybe his original soul escaped the mirror dimension and was trying to claw its way back into his body!

  • Not true! The female nipple is actually useful.

  • A million Floridians would be kicked out under Trump’s mass deportation plans, report says

    Jump

  • Here's the thing: That's exactly what Trump supporters want. That's the "pain" Musk talked about.

    They don't care about the cost. Money or human.

    I asked a Trump supporter how they wanted to handle American citizen children of illegal immigrants and they said they wanted the children taken away and placed into Christian indoctrination programs (they didn't call it that but that's what they meant).

  • Russian court fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

  • Meh. This is but a fraction of what the big media companies think the world owes them for piracy.

  • For four hours, Christians in Georgia gathered to worship Trump. I was there.

  • There's no easier lie for a politician than piety.

  • Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’

    Jump

  • As another (local) AI enthusiast I think the point where AI goes from "great" to "just hype" is when it's expected to generate the correct response, image, etc on the first try.

    For example, telling an AI to generate a dozen images from a prompt then picking a good one or re-working the prompt a few times to get what you want. That works fantastically well 90% of the time (assuming you're generating something it has been trained on).

    Expecting AI to respond with the correct answer when given a query > 50% of the time or expecting it not to get it dangerously wrong? Hype. 100% hype.

    It'll be a number of years before AI is trustworthy enough not to hallucinate bullshit or generate the exact image you want on the first try.

  • How pollsters have adapted to changing technology and voters who don’t answer the phone

    Jump

  • In short: They're not. They're basically guessing at this point for anyone under 50.

    Not only that but anyone under 50 who they do reach is the type of person who doesn't use an ad blocker. In other words, iPhone users and the ignorant.

  • The only known time Ernie Bushmiller (creator of Nancy) did a non-family friendly comic strip.

    Jump

  • Depends on the family. In my family we give two shits.

  • Trump, on the Civil War, in His Own Words

    Jump

  • In the past he's said it takes him six or seven flushes to get anything down.

  • Is directly using plastic pellets a good idea?

    Jump

  • Well, they put my Low-Poly Rose Twist Vase in the background so it seems legit 🤷

  • Windows 11 24H2 hoards 8.63 GB of junk you can't delete

    Jump

  • While annoying, it's not that big a deal. I mean, you chose to run Windows (or someone at your company did) which means "lean" or "efficient" were never really serious concerns from the get-go.

    If you want a lean OS that's super efficient in terms of disk space you go with some form of Linux or a BSD. Windows would never even be a consideration (which is another reason why Linux market share on servers is so, so much larger than Windows).

    A pretty decent 1TB SSD costs $60. That means 9GB costs about $0.54. It's even less if you use the old style, spinning rust disks.

  • Republicans are all about the nanny state. Tracking periods, banning books, deciding who gets to have what medications/medical treatments (instead of doctors), trying to control what websites publish, etc.

  • Giant Sulcata Tortoise. Rescued from a highway in northern Florida. We adopter her at the (desperate) request of animal control.

    The vet guessed she's around 20 years old. She weighs about 100lbs right now (was only 85 when we took her in).
