Thatโs why I am launching Slaymo, a self driving humvee service meant to identify and collide with Waymos and Flock cam poles. Slaymos are like antibodies in our roadwayโs immune system. They benefit from the same concerning autonomous vehicle accident liability laws as Waymos.
I bet $100 in my lifetime. We will see Waymo offer mobile policing Flock-like active surveillance.
We need deeper public anti-surveillance laws yesterday. The only way to prevent the panipticon is to make it inadmissible in court and illegal for use by businesses.
Why oppose public surveillance meant to fight crime? Because the law rarely correlates with what is just and good, and this gap widens for those with less power to begin with. In 14 states, being gay was a crime until 2003.
A eulogy for the AIM and MSN and QQ chats. For the webrings, the geocities sites, the xangas. For the Hypemachine and Soundcloud posts. For stumbleupon, Digg. For 0.1 and 1.0 and 2.0. For a billion taps on a heart-shaped button.
Silicon dust to silicon dust.
I do not believe that war is necessary or inevitable. Those who do belong either in an asylum or, failing that, the frontlines with the lowest denominator of equipment.
But tellingly, 90% of the spots we really want to go when the whistle blows arenโt at the top of the literal skyscrapers. Theyโre the little corner haunts where culture lives. CBGB was 3,300 sqft. Little stones turn big currents. More often thatโs a friendโs house.
Itโs hard to assemble a whole grown ass person. People tend to stay the same amount of good at being guided by reason or the rule of cool (appeal or fascination variants). We need childish adults and adultish ones. We gotta value both. Bridge engineers and underground whisperers.
This twitter is now for shitposting and the least hinged, hottest, most manic of my takes. When people said Coldplayโs name in the same breath as Radioheads during the Parachutes era, they were justified. The ensuing eras are just the two stories after adolescent turmoil.
@KomradeKarl10@GinoTheGhost Don't worry, the only people who think acting with less than 100% prudence = execution are wearing a certain color hat... and they would be shocked how that rule could be applied in perpetuity if the precedent gets set.
@TheChondrite@HodlMagoo Trained officers know how to disarm. If this guy accidentally discharged, he is yet another amateur auditioning for the modern Brownshirts.
@99_opinions@HodlMagoo OOPS you ordered these in the opposite direction! Not sure if citizens can back off while ICE
1) rage detains anyone recording from the sidewalk
2) stops any brown citizen demanding papers (easily verifiable given a MPD police officer had it happen)
The thing is, it's A-->B.
@dz49er8 @liveeforgaga @AFpost dude couldn't find a real picture of a liberal he didn't like so he made one up. not surprised. he's still hallucinating blue hair on liberals in 2025, genuinely hilarious.
Fox "News" (McDougal v. Fox News Network, LLC, No. 1:2019cv11161) got you good :)
Update on my new #threejs project, Lumen Decor Studio.
With Screen Space Global Illumination and Screen Space Reflection in action, clients can visualize, in real time, how light can influence a room's decor and how the chosen colors blend with the light to create a cozy atmosphere.
Next step: color selection behavior๐

@SupersonicFire1@bumbadum14 Sure, if you mean pressuring *all* components to melt. That looks like a library, a mosque, a synagogue, and a cathedral sharing a square โnot, for example, Christian Nationalism. Either everyone "melts" or nobody is required to. Would be cowardly to ask it without offering it.
@thatspookyygrl You didn't do anything wrong. AI lets you do things you can't otherwise (spend an afternoon not working and doing a photoshoot like a rich kid). AI consumes less water and energy to do it than it takes to watch 8 minutes of a streamed movie. Their high horse is in a deep trench.
@cemeteryfaerie Full-on myth. AI is 0.1โ0.16% of total worldwide freshwater withdrawal per year. Have you streamed a movie, scrolled social media, or searched online? Those use far more datacenter water than AI. 10X worse are beauty & skincare product manufacturing, long showers, golf courses.
@ChickfilA I have a suggestion that will increase customer satisfaction 1% for a $0 budget:
Rename "Honey Roasted BBQ" something phonetically unmistakable.
"Honey Roasted" is always mistaken for "Honey Mustard"
"Honey Roasted BBQ" is constantly mistaken for "BBQ"
It sucks.
