The most visible use of AI in many countries was to create memes and content whose artificial origins weren't disguised. They were often openly shared by politicians and their supporters.

@Gargron mine arrived the same way. Branding-wise it’s not great but it’s good recycling?

Embodied's $800 kids' robot Moxie was facing certain doom, but the company is now working to liberate it through open-source. From bricked to freed - that's what I call a plot twist! Community-powered robot resurrection FTW.

US lifts $10m bounty on #HTS leader after talks in Syrian capital - theguardian.com/world/2024/dec… "In face-to-face meeting, Ahmed al-Sharaa gave assurances IS would not be allowed to operate in Syria, US official says" #syria

I'd have more confidence in this if Israel wasn't so busy trying to make sure he has nothing to stop them with.







is there a low-power "detect the computer is idle" api in #linux? i've attempted to use #inotify against input devices (following the example of aur.archlinux.org/packages/bri…) but that's somewhat cpu intensive ...

i could do tricks by sleeping say 25 sec and then set up the inotify and select on it with a 5 sec timer, or so... then it's low power for 25 sec and the user has to be active in the 5 sec...

this tradeoff between the "resolution" of idle detection and the power usage seems regrettable
