At the bottom of the screen, there is a circular graphic with the text "SCAN THE CODE TO LISTEN ON YOUR PHONE," accompanied by a QR code. The bottom right corner of the screen shows a small inset image of two people conversing, with a QR code visible to the left. The overall setting suggests a tech exhibition or conference.

Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Sonnenuntergangslandschaft. Der Himmel ist in warmen Farben wie Orange, Rosa und Lila getaucht, die sich sanft über den Horizont erstrecken. Die Wolken sind dünn und streifenartig, und einige sind leicht von Flugzeugen verziert. Im Vordergrund sind die Silhouetten von Bäumen und Hügeln zu sehen, die den Horizont markieren. Der Himmel über dem Horizont ist dunkler, was die Farben am Horizont noch intensiver erscheinen lässt. Die Szene vermittelt eine ruhige und friedliche Atmosphäre, die die Schönheit der Natur bei Sonnenuntergang hervorhebt.

Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking?
The smart move isn’t to hate AI, but to help shape it.
AI isn’t going away. You can either watch in frustration, or you can help shape the world of AI.
Those are your only two choices.
I also remember when there were people who believed the internet was just a passing phase — something they disliked.
They, too, had the same choice — because the internet was never going away.
They could either watch in frustration or help shape the future.
You can’t uninvent the splitting of the atom, the creation of computers, or the Internet — which continues to evolve — any more than you can put the AI genie back in the bottle.
You may not like the direction things are heading, but that’s something you can help influence.
Trying to uncreate it, however, is a fool’s errand.
Getting to see these guys smile so much definitely helps with my mental health! I hope it helps you too.
Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity: metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early…
METR ran a controlled experiment with 16 experienced open-source developers on 246 programming tasks. The developers predicted that the use of AI would speed up their work by 25%, and after the experiment judged that it had sped it up by 20%. But when actually measured, the use of AI slowed down their work by 19%.

Two days ago, I dropped a wildly polarizing post on Lemmy about the Steam Controller being way ahead of its time.
Predictably, it split people into two camps: those who think the Steam Controller is a genius piece of gear, and those who swear it’s basically the spawn of Satan. Almost no one was neutral—everyone had a strong opinion.
For me, it’s not great for games built around traditional controllers. But for keyboard-and-mouse games? It’s a literal game-changer.
I’ve spent countless hours playing Dungeon Siege on my 62” TV with the Steam Controller—something you just can’t pull off with any other controller.

La imagen muestra una estatua de un ángel en tonos sepia. El ángel está representado con alas extendidas y un cuerpo desnudo, con detalles en el cabello y las alas que sugieren una obra clásica. En su mano derecha sostiene un objeto redondo, posiblemente un corazón, mientras que su mano izquierda sostiene un arco con flechas. La estatua está iluminada por una fuente de luz que proviene de arriba, creando un efecto dramático y resaltando las formas y texturas de la escultura. El fondo es oscuro, lo que hace que la estatua sea el punto focal de la imagen. La iluminación y la composición de la imagen evocan una sensación de serenidad y belleza clásica.

The #US government now does #bisexual #erasure. Lying about #trans people wasn’t enough, apparently.

The worst fear of every queerphobe is when cis hetero people start to feel empathy and solidarity with the #LGBTQ+ instead of hatred. That’s why they want to bury the truth. Because if the truth is out, the anti-LGBTQ+ #propaganda might stop working.

Q5: @MakersHour
In the Wokcracy we do six questions! (Hang on. Where’s Q5?) So, you're in a holodeck, what's the first thing you'd conjure? And yes, the Safe For Work filter is on.
A5: The Market Town of Theraton, so I can walk around and visit the places in #HarrietAndDaisy’s world. Even though I created it, it would be good to see it made real in the holodeck. It might be a bit odd to bump into Harriet and Daisy though, even though I would be Harriet’s landlord.
