Nice to see someone else interested enough to make it to the end of this thread I feel like i’m doin anthropology research

I think this is the line her convoluted logic follows

My friend, you are going to hate a recent memo from the US Office of Management and Budget titled “Advancing Governance, Innovation, and Risk Management for Agency Use of Artificial Intelligence”

Not necessarily, with “genetic drift” random phenotypic changes can happen that have a neutral effect on fitness. So if they don’t need side-facing eyes, then this can just happen randomly. Especially if the sideways eyes are in some way “costly” to maintain

Unless your parents are members of the ruling class, they had very little to do with your immiseration!

I’m not totally convinced that a huge swath of trump voters ever heard any alternatives to the propaganda that lead them to believe tariffs=good. Like i imagine a ton of them are structurally isolated from hearing alternatives the way social media and television works

Doubleplusungood, even

I moved over to actualbudget! It’s way more intuitive to me and the the simplefin integration my bank transactions are automatically imported

This is what Sinclair Lewis’ It Can’t Happen Here is about. A book about the rise of fascism in the US written in 1935.

Actually surprised chatgpt is less than average

Over the years i have settled on zotero with th webdav backup to a self-hosted nextcloud server. Works great. Recently i started using the bookmark manager Hoarder and save articles i find there until i read them. My workflow is

• get google scholar alerts sent to RSS feed (locally hosted freshrss)
• save articles in Hoarder that i intend to read
• when i have time, read articles in Hoarder, add the citation to zotero, take notes in Obsidian on the article and link it to the zotero item using the Zotero plugin, and then also move the article to a ‘already read’ list in Hoarder.

Kinda complicated but it’s been working!

2 years out and still working on this in therapy

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, this seems pretty irrefutable and apolitical haha

Does anyone else just shuffle them around every few months to a new place, just to feel productive? I had them in a bookmarks folder for a while, then saved in a desktop folder, and just last week i consolidated them in a LinkWarden repo

This is a really interesting part of the Red Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson

We have very little say in how our government works. Over the course of US history the material decisions have been whisked away to less democratic structures (eg the supreme court, the federal reserve). Even early on the democracy was built for property owners (owners of people and land). People are feeling disenfranchised and the vote for trump is a (petulant) vote to flip the gameboard. Of course voting for trump is one of the worst things you can do if you want you and your community’s lives to improve, but the fundamental motivation is disenfranchisement and anger

This mobile app is not associated with the current open source project. Like i think it’s a vestige from before they went open source. They recommend using actual in your mobile browser for now, which works decently well

He was gonna say he fed the fries to a house sparrow and the guy waiting around the corner was going to harass him for feeding an invasive species. I guess the joke is that the author sees humans as the most invasive species (which, as an aside, is a bad take when you think about indigenous peoples of our species)
