I sense that Newsom’s trolling sends the message that Trump’s not anyone special. The felon’s only unique ability is to lie and boast without a single ounce of humility.

When he puts out this stuff sarcastically, it immediately makes all of Trump’s antics almost identically as corny as Newsom’s satirical versions.

Here’s your cliché small talk starter: the weather.

• Nice weather out today, huh? (Sprinkle sarcasm or adjust to match actual weather conditions)

UK version:

• Gloomy weather as usual, innit?

That is definitely a problem that needs to be dealt with, since AI scrapers hogging bandwidth or making sites inaccessible means it is hampering equal access to everyone. Ignoring conventions and not rate limiting itself are harmful to the open internet.

So yes, those kinds of AI scraping behaviours should be mitigated, but on the principle of AI ingesting my public data, I’m not against it, if it can access it reasonably and fairly like anyone else.

If I’m going to share my information and knowledge publicly on an Internet site, I’d like everyone to have fair and open access to it, not at the whims of a multinational corp to gatekeep for me. So the fact that AI can access it too doesn’t discourage me.

You have information from me because I choose to share it, not because a site has demanded I give it up without a clear benefit to me in return.

Anyone checked Mar-A-Lago’s bathroom?

Someone is going to lose a lot of money.

Also, we’re looking for someone to give us money.

I’ve used Jerboa for years now, and have the press back twice to exit setting enabled:

My configuration for it is very minimal, to mimic RedReader that I used to use.

Seriously. I’d be somewhat less concerned about the impact if it was only voluntarily used. Instead, AI is compulsively shoved in every nook and cranny of digital product simply to justify its own existence.

The power requirement for training is ongoing, since mere days after Sam Altman released a very underehelming GPT-5, he begins hyping up the next one.

Absolutely love that there are Bluesky and Masto share buttons on this site!!!

The new penalties target ICC judges Kimberly Proust of Canada and Nicolas Guillou of France and prosecutors Nazhat Shameem Khan of Fiji and Mame Mandiaye Niang of Senegal.

Perhaps the closure of Lemm.ee took away some of the quantity and variety of posts and communities?

They can attempt to push for a national ban on mid-cycle political redistricting.

General Reposti! You are a bold one.

We can aim a reshoring of domestic EV production even as the US fails to show up. We can use quality parts from Japan, South Korea, Mexico and elsewhere as needed instead of the US until we can produce our own.

I’m not that crazy about electric automobiles as a solution as I am about electric trucks, boats, planes, bicycles, farm and construction machinery, and most of all, trains. However, considering Canada’s size, there’s a place for them in less populated areas: to create resilient cities, towns and communities that are less reliant on burning fossil fuels. Think about how a little hamlet could get through a snowstorm outage with the help of Vehicle-to-home charging and mutual aid.

What Real Terrorists look like in the UK:

Maybe I wouldn’t consider them losing causes, since we have our small wins here and there. Every positive difference you make, is rewarding when it amounts even to the tiniest win. You posting this question and other Lemmings like me answering is itself a little Lemmy W.

But yeah, things for me don’t have value only because they are popular. Yes, popularity can affect that I get recommended stuff that I end up liking, but I consciously reject being told to like something without being aware of the full details.

Here’s some contrasting examples: PEAK is a game I got on the bandwagon for, after seeing it posted on GamingOnLinux via !pcgaming@lemmy.ca . Seeing the gameplay, it looked like fun, and I had friends to play it with so it was worthwhile. On the other hand, trends like Stanley Cup, blindbox toys like Labubu, “Dubai Chocolate”, I’m not going to get any of those, despite their explosive popularity, unless I see a legitimate use for my own needs.

Also, my values are set towards lasting ownership of stuff then renting/BNPL schemes.

It was kind of hilarious hearing the Jobs/Labour Minister on CBC Power and Politics being like, “I’m shocked, shocked to hear that unpaid work is occuring in this country!”

The use of Section 107 like a magic wand to make strikes disappear is a novel move by government from the last couple years. Previously it’s been back-to-work legislation to end strikes, taking longer and requiring public support from the peoples’ representatives in Legislature.

This magic wand has been more or less successful the first few times to get strikes out of the news, but this is the first time a union has refused to follow along with this.

Importantly, the pacing and the documented pattern of employers stonewalling discussion while begging government for arbitration, has put a clear case for unions to challenge this erosion of a constitutional right affirmed by Canada’s Supreme Court and regional trial courts. (sidenote: our courts aren’t bought out by regressives)
