Cory Doctorow @pluralistic : Companies like Tesla, Amazon and Cruise that claim to have replaced human workers with AI are often outright lying. Often, they’re instead replacing local employees with remote workers paid peanuts in India and other developing countries.
“So much AI turns out to be low-waged people in a call center in the Global South pretending to be robots that Indian techies have a joke about it: ‘AI stands for “absent Indian.”’”
🤖⚔️ @fnieser.bsky.social und ich haben #ParzivAI gebaut. Ein #llm, das auf Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1basiert, und das mit mittelhochdeutscher Literatur finetuned wurde.
Bisher noch Proof of Concept, aber demnächst vllt im Schulunterricht?
Hockey is a funny game. Before the puck drop, my D said to me "You're going to see a lot of shots.". And it did look like the other team had 3, maybe 4, of the best players on the ice. But instead, we crushed them, 7-1, and the lone goal I gave up was a bouncer from the second line I should have had. We worked hard, but still, I would have never guessed. I wasn't even stressed too often. Funny how that works out sometimes.
@jda@bookstodon@books You know more than me, having read the bio, but I understand that Dickens started as a police reporter and his early works: Sketches By Boz, Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers, all benefit from some "reading between the lines" as he alluded to things he knew that he couldn't write straight out. Thomas summarizes long works like Mayhew's London Life, reports of vice committees and so on that illustrate the congested, abusive and creative London Dickens found so fascinating.
"Since April 2021, the FDA has received more than 116,000 MDRs, including 561 reports of death, reportedly associated with the Phillips CPAP machine foam breakdown."

Thank you for the interest. I will start adding screenshots in the new year, very soon. I have taken several, but I still need to decide which ones to use and how I'm going to organize them.
I had added lots of screenshots, but the repo ballooned in size and took too long to clone. So I completely removed all screenshots and opted instead to link a screenshot that I posted to the Purism forums. I may add some more in the future, but I don't want to clutter the README.md with too many images. Sorry if that's a let-down.
Screenshots! Well, not quite. I had added lots of screenshots, but the repo ballooned in size and took too long to clone. So I did a git rebase -i <SHA1> command to completely remove all screenshots and opted instead to link a screenshot that I posted to the Purism forums. I may add some more in the future, but I don't want to clutter the README.md with too many images.
Made an initial merge request to get the wonderful improvements from @user0 into mobile-config-firefox. :firefoxnew:
The idea is to make desktop firefox behave more similar to the Android version, e.g. getting rid of the extra tab bar, and some of the buttons around the urlbar to have more space for typing the URL.
I appologize for not replying to you sooner. I have been busy with many things and hadn't logged into my account here in a few weeks.
What would you think of having an access to add-ons MUCH more straightforwardly ? Maybe icons directly at the top of the burger menu?
I had tried something similar in order to move the new-tab button into the Tab Manager Menu, but it unfortunately doesn't seem possible. Menu items can be re-arranged and hidden, but they cannot be added to a menu or moved from one menu to another. I agree though that your idea would be really cool if it could be done.
Or icons on display next to the URL field, with a sliding bar letting you browse all the way to the end?
I don't think this is possible with CSS code either, so I can't help, but I found a post on reddit that involves javascript:
What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?
I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?
I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.
Ah, yeah, playing on official or public servers is definitely gonna be a mixed bag in terms of location. I’ll admit I didn’t really consider that as I’m lucky enough to have a good group of friends with similar gaming interests, and we’re all within about 100 KM of each other. I just ended up building a server and self-hosting out of my home.
With the news that has subsequently broken, I fear this item that I submitted to Mike Glyer at File 770 will get overlooked.
Please remember that there are many, many more victims of this mess, and who don't have large followings on English-language social media to hear their anguish.
EDIT: Any chance of some boosts on this plz? It bothers me my posts about censored posts & big biz dodginess get lots of engagement, but not the human side
Treated myself to a new book today. I would never have discovered it if it hadn't been for the wonderful @neilhimself . Can't wait to start reading it but I have The Dark Is Rising sequence to finish first. #Bookstodon#Books
@Yorkslass70@neilhimself I love all of Zelazny's work but A Night in the Lonesome October is one of my favorites! I got to hear him read the whole thing to us at a Con over three nights. Every so often he would stop and make notes in the manuscript he was reading from.
I have several friends who read this every October chapter-by-chapter, day-by-day; I don't have that level of discipline; if I start it, it's getting finished same day!
Zelazny was a very underrated writer; I sometimes think he's omitted a lot in libraries, who always seem to have a lot of Asimov, simply because of his alphabetical positioning.
