Late last year Wikimedia disqualified two potential board members from eligibility days before the vote. They are notable for their push for transparency.

Wikimedia is moving towards opaque and draconian leadership methods. They are actively taking advantage of the trust we put in them to make disingenuous moves that will prevent Jimmy Wales from losing power over the knowledge. He’s basically one bad decision from partnering with AI and now fewer people can stop him.

It’s a lie to stall for time while the lawyers start gathering personal information from the employees.

I don’t care if this backfires. My money helps people and union busting is modern day evil against the people.

Paws like a feline Rachmaninoff

The best actual script he was handed was either Iron Giant or Saving Private Ryan. He has some perspective on what’s actually good. He just chooses scripts where directors replace dialog with loud noises.

It’s probably good Americans aren’t big football fans because they would celebrate like this but with guns too.

YouTube uses the same recommendation algorithm as Gmail.

“Oh you bought a mattress? You must want more mattress content and to know every time someone talks about mattresses.”

Tall, purple, self-possessed? Reminds me of Aughra.

All it took to dismantle global peace was the children of the original peacemakers asking “but does this serve me?” War was too profitable for the rich to abandon.

My old man wall cat needs a little light

looks at cost

Oh, this is totally affordable. We should pay the cost to save the world.

So some bank decides what obscenity is? And there is no appeal process or reason stated to be appealed, just “we refunded them because we disagree with the transaction”. Tyranny in a suit.

Imagine if they put their money into taking care of themselves with healthcare instead.

With extra steps

Corn and black olives: travel buddies!

AI companies know that the public loves books so they tried to hide their shame. Their next approach will be to make us hate books so destroying them is fine. Stories will be lauded while the book format will be dismissed. Many discussions and comparisons of “book vs (insert media)” will start to pop up. Just watch.

Landlords just don’t want to work anynore

∆V: Rings of Saturn is a top down realistic physics based space mining game. I love the game but the high frequency of random encounters made the game feel less like a mining sim and more like a space combat game where you have to survive against constant pirate attacks.

While all that sounds bog-standard for a space sim, it’s the realistic science that kills it. High speed mass driver rounds from far off map, mining lasers outside the visible spectrum (only revealed with steam or dust) that will cut right through your ship, microwave beams that cook the crew alive and are impossible to evade - the game is not made for such weapons with the very limited combat format.

It became unfun to have a load of minerals that took IRL hours to harvest become scattered across Enceladus orbit as the added mass of minerals made my ship unmanageable during evasive maneuvers causing me to slam into an asteroid.

And directing? How interesting!
