I'm shocked that the "Linking people searching for terms associated with self-harm to crisis centers is bad, actually" search engine would think that Brendan Eich is actually good

"You forgot? Must not be important." Listen bro, I can and have forgotten to eat, pee, sleep, cash cheques. I've lost my car by taking the bus home after driving there. Importance is not a distinguishing factor here. The fact a commodore 64 has more RAM than I do is the issue

Huge yikes. Kagi is now partnering with Brave to power its search results — and they seem to be dismissing their users’ concerns regarding this partnership with a company that’s notorious for being led by a proud anti gay rights supporter. Just as I’ve consistently advised against using Brave’s products, I now advise against using Kagi as long as it contributes to a homophobic business. There can be no neutral politics when it comes to people’s rights and lives. https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave

Oh shit! Oh wow! Someone online wrote some documentation about this, it's.. it's.. your own website

The Void is experiencing extremely high call volumes right now. Please hold. Your screaming is very important to us.

Thought of getting a Kagi account but not longer tempted after they announced working together with the Thiel-funded homophobe clowns at Brave. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why is everyone like that, ugh.

Frustrated by finding a great article that I wanted to share, but then realising that it's on medium so people would need accounts to read it. I'm in support of creators charging for content but the walling-off of intended-public content is a dark pattern.

I wrote some code. It hurts to look at. https://moonbase.lgbt/blog/minimum-wage-clock/

I love clever uses of incentives and tech: Cities are using traffic lights near schools that start red and turn green if an approaching car isn't speeding. If you're good, you get to keep driving. If you're bad, you have to stop and wait for the light to turn green. The average speed on the road almost immediately dropped to the speed limit as people learned the rules. Instead of punishing people with tickets after the fact, it creates the behavior the city wants. https://mass.streetsblog.org/2023/05/05/steal-this-idea-in-quebec-a-new-traffic-light-only-turns-green-for-safe-drivers/

I'd personally argue (and do argue, in fact!) that you should take the evidence of such agreements and facts to mean that you actually have nothing to lose by becoming... labor aware, let's say. Don't make my mistakes: reject ERGs, which are a way of tracking groups likely to unionize (hot tip: ERGs are for underrepresented groups, which are typically the groups most impacted by layoffs, so guess which groups are _probably_ a little more... labor aware?). Don't be quite so obviously pro-labor; they have enough lawyers and enough capital on hand to not give a single shit about whatever action you could potentially bring against them. But do form a union. Or a guild; there are too many companies owned by too few stockholders to _not_ also form agreements across company boundaries. And not one of those unions that's already waved the white flag to get their foot in the door, either. It's our best bet against the technological abuse we're seeing. RE: For anyone curious about this: if you formally disagree with the reason behind your layoff, congratulations! You're blacklisted. And if you follow up with compelling evidence of mistreatment, congratulations! You're DEFINITELY blacklisted and should probably follow that thread to whatever end it has for you. If you sign the settlement offer, which is probably what you're going to do because justice is about who has the most capital and they've cut off your funding, congrats, you're now _legally_ barred from working for any company they own ever again. It's standard language and they won't remove it. What's interesting, however, is much like a warlock pact, the only thing I'm _not_ barred from talking about is the specific agreement about what was considered a settlement. I can talk about literally everything else. I low-key suspect they do this so that particularly mouthy people (me) will discuss what happens when you try and face off against corporate and how even if you win, you lose. Why else let me freely talk about everything? RE: ...

If I installed new server software that served websites 500% faster but also crashed sometimes, your first question would be "how frequent are the crashes?" and if I shrugged you'd back away slowly and start looking for my replacement. But with LLMs & hallucinations that's just normal operating conditions and you're a luddite if you ask too much about it.
