@futurebird To be fair, *passenger* rail is antiquated and irrelevant in this country, so it makes sense folks would think that.
@lupyuen Although many are *reluctant* excellent technical writers.
@jentaub How to *what* $1.5 million?

So, in the "Free" state of Florida, during a public hearing about HB1423, one MAGAt representative (Randy Fine) believes the rights of parents are limited and that he supports revoking a parent's right to determine what film and video their families can watch, while another moron (Rep. Kevin Steele), thinks "perhaps we should require a license in order to be a parent".
This has never been about parental rights, or free speech. It is about theocratic control by the state of what we see, say, and do as citizens. This is not freedom. #desantisdestroysflorida #1stamendment
@annmlipton I've heard of those for humans, which makes sense, but for pets?
That reveals some seriously disturbing issues in the owner.
@maxkennerly Although, I'd think that'd just as likely backfire by encouraging a desperate Google to release its own chat-type-search that we know its been working on internally for years.
@maxkennerly How does that work if Bing lacks a silver bullet to avoid the same fate?
@ThinkingSapien Yeah, those are some smart birds... maybe if you buy a nutcracker and leave it on your yard as an offering, they'll stop!
@indyradio @fisunov You joke, but that is actually kind of what happened, lol. Because of Mars' thinner atmosphere, any exposed water ice glacier would sublimate into water vapor pretty quickly outside the poles. Hence why there's no water/ice near the equator.
@fisunov There are so many red flags with that source... not the least of which is describing it as a "SpaceX Colony".
Also, "NASA has never explored it" is an outright lie. What little we know was discovered by SETI using NASA's MRO.
And, oh look, it is bullshit after all: https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/16/world/mars-glacier-discovery-scn/index.html
There was a glacier there. There isn't now.
Please be more careful sharing unreliable sources.
@ondrej @caseynewton Nonsense. Musk would go nuts for labor he could exploit without paying for. They must have interns. Interns are probably running several departments by now.
@caseynewton You don't think they'll just have an intern write a query and run it in prod without testing?

Will this survey of hundreds of trans adults who say transitioning was good for them get half as much attention as an op-ed from a single person who regrets transitioning? Let's find out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/23/transgender-adults-transitioning-poll/
#Florida used to be fun-embarrassing. Like, it was embarrassing to be around us, but you had a good time.
Now, though, we're moving into creepy killjoy authoritarian cringe, and I am very much not for it.

@Popehat this is very literally a freaking Simpsons plot.

Relativity Space just posted this photo on Twitter and I am AGHAST at how beautiful it is. (If you're wondering why the flame is part blue, the answer is methane/liquid oxygen fuel. Video coming on this later today!)

For the people who have advocated fruitlessly for years for the US to have any substantial data privacy law, it has to feel like gaslighting to see the country's national security apparatus finally focus on what TikTok collects and then conclude the answer is to ban that one app.

Most folks I know who are worried about AI aren’t worried about these programs becoming self aware and oppressing us. That’s not a thing. We’re worried about all the ways these systems will ramp up existing inequalities and further obliterate our shared reality as human beings. That’s already happening.
@lckrohjr Only if you include the [at]instance part after in your original post. The tags are *not* clickable to me (see below). Also, when I search the accounts, I do not find them on their own.
However, if I search for the full account *at the instance name*, then I can find it. That's why I mentioned the above.
@lckrohjr Uh, which server? Usernames alone are meaningless on the fediverse.
