#CounterClippers of the world unite.... omg, those are not counters. They are octogons. What monster did this?
Bingo — come on in, the water’s Nazi.
RE: threads.net/@oliverdarcy/post/…
Important points from @michelleinbklyn: "The weakening of the intellectual quarantine around Nazism — and the MAGA right’s fetish for ideas their enemies see as dangerous — makes it easier for influential conservatives to surrender to fascist impulses. When they do, they pay no penalty in political relevance, because there’s no conservative establishment capable of disciplining its ideologues." nytimes.com/2024/09/06/opinion…

‘Families Like Ours’ Teaser: Thomas Vinterberg’s Venice Series Imagines A Denmark On The Cusp Of Disappearing Due To #ClimateChange
"The director and co-writer Bo Hr. Hansen have imagined a near future scenario in which the Danish government sets in motion a plan to evacuate #Denmark’s entire population due to rising water levels."
"Vinterberg chose not to go big on scenes of submerged streets and homes.
Instead, he focused on the months leading up to the climate disaster and their toll on people.
"What you don't see is more scary than what you see," he said, adding that his team consulted climate scientists and reached out to the Danish ministry of foreign affairs for advice on how to convincingly portray the mass evacuation."
This reminds me of the set up of "The Day After", a 1983 film about what happens to people in a small town in Kansas before and after a nuclear attack.
I was in college. The university opened a help line you could call if you needed help coping with the emotional impact of the movie.
I mean, why not? Those systems already run a custom Linux distro anyway.

So, that thing with Amazon being full of AI-generated books containing tips to eat poisonous mushrooms?
Google Scholar now appears to be increasingly full of GPT-fabricated academic papers too - undermining human society’s hard-amassed evidence base.
Good work, everyone.

I wonder if there'll be some kind of inverse carbon dating in the future. Where people would determine the age of a text corpus just by counting the fraction of AI bullshit contained in it.
"Ah interesting, these texts contain 34% AI bullshit. This is a strong indicator for it stemming from around 2029. There's probably still much true information in there as the 50% AI bullshit mark was only hit 4 years later...."

I went to the fifth-grade graduation once at the school where I taught and a child, a fifth grader about 10 years old, said in her graduation speech:
"Another way our teachers show that they care about us is they don't let us go to the bathrooms or in the hall when there's shooting."
The first time a third-grader confidently told another student that they didn't have to worry because "Ms. Harris wouldn't ever let a bad guy come in and get you," I understood that I would actually die for my students and that it was actually a real possibility.
Do you know what it's like to be underpaid, often disrespected by other adults (just look around threads for examples), exhausted, and know that you might have to die for the kids you're responsible for??

I’ve spent the entire morning going thru tubs that have been stored in the garage for 7-8 yrs or so, & apparently, I can fit my butt into some rly old jeans again! Not these, mind you, but I’ll be damned if I’m giving them away BC YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT? 🤣
& Ralph Lauren/Polo doesn’t make Saturday jeans any more & they’re my all-time fave jeans for running around in sneakers. (They’re too short for heels, but srsly, how often do I wear heels these days?)
I love raggedy old jeans. 🥰
Whenever we moved (and as a military family, we moved a lot), my mom would put the date on all the boxes.
If she hadn’t opened the box within a year or by the next move (which was sometimes *less* than a year :( ), she’d just throw the box away without looking in it.
“I haven’t needed whatever is in there for a year. I’m not likely to need it ever again.”

Got a bug report on emoji-picker-element that it's super slow if you have ~20k custom emoji (some fediverse instances… 😵💫). I was about to write some complex virtualization logic until I remembered that `content-visibility` exists: web.dev/articles/content-visib…
~15% perf boost in Chrome, ~5% in Firefox, Safari has it in Tech Preview I guess. And no accessibility pitfalls or complicated code to maintain. Not as good as virtualization, but amazing what a few lines of CSS can do. github.com/nolanlawson/emoji-p…
@anthony That's interesting; I'll toy around with that!
What prompted this was noticing a huge amount of time Chromium is spending in "ResourceFetcher::requestResource" (visible if you turn on "show all events"). I had a hunch that this was related to the `<img>`s, so I removed the `src` and suddenly all the costs went away. I'll need to dig to see if it's `loading=lazy`-related…
As for IntersectionObserver, yes, I messed around with that too. It's definitely the better cross-browser choice.
