Career Authors Mystery writer Bonnie MacBird is a self-identified "Pantser." So how then does she manage to write her notably labyrinthine plots? She shares her process with Career Authors. Pantsing a Complicated Plot Our Special Guest careerauthors.com/plotter-vs-p…
They scream about ‘wokeness’ to distract us from the real issues, like why billionaires keep getting richer while the rest of us fight to make ends meet. It’s a calculated move to shift the blame and keep us divided.
But let’s be clear, the opposite of woke is asleep, and that’s exactly how they want us: silent, unaware, and easy to exploit while they rig the system in their favor.
We refuse to close our eyes. We will stay awake and fight for a world that works for everyone.
the new DeepSeek model comes with a catch if run in the cloud-hosted version—being Chinese in origin, R1 will not generate responses about certain topics like Tiananmen Square or Taiwan's autonomy
Five stars: The Wild Robot Protects by Peter Brown (2023) is the third Wild Robot book. Roz is eagerly awaiting the return of her son, Brightbill, when an injured seal tells her about an approaching danger, a poisonous tide coming from the north.
I can't count the number of political related posts that I would have loved to have boosted, but didn't, as I know I have people following me for whom these posts would be anxiety inducing.
Sometimes if I *really* want to get it out, I'll post a CW'd link to the toot, but that's extra effort for me and for everyone who wants to read it, clicking through multiple toots. So... very often, they just go unboosted. I actually just had one a couple of minutes ago, actually...
Although I'm an optimistic sort, it's time to face the reality that we are just not hitting the bottom of the barrel here. It's rational to think about what things you'd wish you'd done if America keeps declining like this for another decade.
i just had a nightmare that a software update on my #linux machine went rogue and i couldn't cancel it so i did a hard shutdown and when it came back up it was running windows 8
So-called #SmartHome products are not even smart enough to be interoperable. With free software, you can tailor the software to your needs instead of having to watch out for 'works with' badges and the acceptance of certification of other producers by proprietary software companies like #Apple, #Google, or #Samsung.
To popularize Internet-in-a-box (internetinabox.org) in these trying times. To ensure at least some copies of wikipedia are *somewhere*.. solar powered.. and weirdly shaped like a "little free library", or maybe in real libraries. Maybe both.
To get people around me to move over. I never ask or tell them they should. I just talk about the cool things and they are starting to warm up and take an interest on their own. My flatmate wants to move over as soon as SteamOS releases a desktop distro. Yes yes ive mentioned Bazzite but she trusts valve.
honestly with the way windows has been treating her lately I think she will swap way before steamOS. Windows really is the best advertising for Linux (once people know linux exists)
I want to use linux as my streaming and main os eventually, using windows more for things like Infinity Nikki, (currently) Space Marine 2, and Arena Breakout Infinite
