The NYPD budget is $10.8 BILLION a year and about 4.1 million people file taxes in NYC each year. That comes out more than $2,600 per taxpayer per year to pay for the NYPD to murder black and brown people.

" It's time to stop and take stock of the fact that we're in the midst of the third delusional epoch of the tech industry. Yet, unlike cryptocurrency and the metaverse, everybody has joined the party and decided to burn money pursuing an unsustainable, unreliable, unprofitable, and environmentally-destructive boondoggle sold to customers and businesses as "artificial intelligence" that will "automate everything" without it ever having a path to do so.." #generativeai

that seems like the inevitable outcome of companies rushing headlong into firing everyone

I want to write a comment on lobste.rs. Do I have any followers who could invite me?
It’s about an article about #vi and that you can use “ciq” for change inside quotes and I tried it in #nvi on #openbsd and #vim on #Linux and it doesn’t work. Is that a plug-in?

Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg (1599–1655), Queen of #Sweden, is remembered for her troubled life as queen consort to King Gustavus Adolphus & for her deeply unstable behavior, particularly concerning her daughter, Christina. Maria Eleonora's reign as queen was marked by her desire to fulfill what was seen as her primary duty: producing a male heir for the Swedish throne. When she failed in this mission, it had profound consequences on both her mental state & her relationship with her daughter

Mozilla shuts down its Mastodon server to focus on Firefox and AI.

Mozilla’s been in zombie mode for years as Firefox’s marketshare declined and its primary source of revenue, Google paying for search defaults, is now at risk due to the antitrust trial.

It’s no time for distractions.

This level of ignorance is going to cost many people their health and wellbeing. Half of Americans think they'll never get #COVID19 again. They think this despite the fact most Americans are getting COVID every year or more frequently. New research found that since Omicron took over people are being infected a median of every 192 days.

Every infection raises risks of Long COVID. Every infection can damage hearts, brains, immune systems, reproductive organs and more.
