When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.

For everyone in the EU currently being spammed with black friday sales:
Check if they hiked the price to fake the sale
If they did, they're violating an EU mandate that started this year, that the "before price" HAS to be the lowest of the last 30 days. Fines can go up into the millions, so you really don't want to mess this up :>
Feel free to send them a gentle reminder if they do. I have zero sympathy for the practice or the companies doing it. Stop leaning on psychological warfare for sales

I sometimes wonder how much money i loose each month to these practices. But i shouldn't be obliged to have to participate in all these capitalistic little games. I feel people who chase every markdown, i feel them but i just can't spend the few remaining energy on such bullcrap

A few weeks ago, i had ½ week where i couldn't consistantly maintain my dose of E, because my parent's came over and i had to do it sneaky. I estimate I got in less than 2mg per day, but I at least managed to not make the holds between days too big.
Now my regular dose is 4mg, so i went back on that as soon as i could. Since then, i have been insessably extremely horny and cuddly (thess neurones are hardwired in my brain), especially in the morning after waking up. To the point of annoying my peers and myself.
What kind of medication yoyo-ing have i now to do to not be driven to madness or depression 😑

The Luddite
theluddite@assemblag.esAnother banger from low-tech magazine:
https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2023/11/plastic-waste-in-the-fuel-tank/
[B]urning plastic waste in incinerators to power electric cars [as opposed to using plastic as fuel] allows many of us to externalize the side effects of car driving. An incinerator can be (and always is) located in a poor neighbourhood, where it causes [...] health problems [...] Meanwhile, it produces electricity that charges electric cars which drive around low emission zones in well-to-do neighbourhoods.

The_T@glaceon.socialI don't (ever) post Tumblr screenshots I found on other websites, but this is, the correct shit
EDIT: Previously had an angry note here, thought it was too angry, so removing it, but: feel free to RT this, but no need to @ me any comments on it. Thanks!

Wolfgang Lucht
W_Lucht@mstdn.social100 yrs ago today, far-right nationalist autocrats tried to take over the government of Bavaria, aiming to march on Berlin. Storming venues, seizing offices, mobilising marchers, the coup attempt failed and a scheming loud-mouth called Hitler was arrested. He used it as a platform.
Just 10 years later he was in power in Berlin, beginning a reign of terror that in 12 years ended with a world war, genocide, millions dead and the country in ruins.
It has more to do with today than is ok.

foone@digipres.clubI told my emulator to dump the RAM for a DS game and it created a 6.9 gigabyte file
I'm not an expert but I don't think the DS has that much RAM

foone@digipres.clubfun fact: if you design a product that takes a barrel-jack plug, and don't specify anywhere if it's center-positive or center-negative, you go to hell when you die
