Does anyone know the origin story of /r/blackpeopletwitter and /r/whitepeopletwitter?

I can hear this post. Well done

A stranger on the Internet approves of this plan. Please provide updates. Will there be a Vogon poetry recital?

Yeah, SNW is very good. I've not started the current season, but plan to soon :-)

I thought this was an inciteful comment. Language is a kind of 'view' (in the model view controller sense) of intelligence. It signifies a thought or meme. But, language is imprecise and flawed. It's a poor representation since it can be misinterpreted or distorted. I wonder if language based AIs are inherently flawed, too.

Edit: grammar, ironically

It's an anagram of my real name, 'lcdou 991y9'

The cynical part of me agrees, but one win that could be achieved is a pervasive anti big tech culture built on a foundation of recent corporate betrayals. The more the tech companies push, the more alienated the customers. Will they keep buying? Probably. Will they stay loyal when other options arise? Probably not.

Don't forget Netflix

Also your spine, tailbone, piriformis, hamstrings, and psoas muscles. Cars are bad for your back.

I believe this is true. Progressivism is just one thing I like about the state. It's also gorgeous. Big Sur, San Francisco, Yosemite, sequoias, numerous vineyards, craggy beaches, and scenery that can transition from valley to plains to desert to mountains in just a couple hours' drive.

As a long time Star Trek fan, I love this show. It really is better than a lot of modern Trek. Reading all these comments makes me want to engage in the watching event.

Edit: spelling

Ah ha! I see the problem. It looks like more lanes may be needed.

This is refreshing to see. I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

Eh, not my pick

"Oh bother"

Yeah, definitely fried in extra jpeg sauce

I'm watching the first season of TNG now with someone who's never seen it before. That's forced me to look at the series with fresh eyes. One thing that strikes me is that TNG took a lot of risks in the beginning to make a new kind of Star Trek. I see the Crushers as one. Some risks didn't work out as well as others, but Star Trek overall benefited. IMO, it would be edifying revisit Dr. Crusher and see more character growth like in Picard.

This news hit me hard this morning. Bram's work has directly benefited my career for decades. He was a good human being who did good things. RIP Bram

Shouldn't an ethical human choose tools that do more good than harm? As long as an application does that, does it matter if it's open source or not? The software we use in our daily lives is a personal choice and people shouldn't be shamed for choosing a closed source application. Especially one created by an independent, craftsman software company. Sync, and other well-designed for-profit clients, benefit Lemmy, an open platform. That benefits all.

Let me add, many of us are social media refugees, fleeing exploitative and closed platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook. There is also nothing wrong with continually evaluating the closed source solutions we choose to prevent repeating past mistakes.

I'll admit I only know his work on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. In those roles he proved a versatile actor. Bravo and RIP Mark
