This was my experience trying out Buddhist temples year ago, too. I went to one that downplayed the heavy philosophy to make things more appealing to normie Buddhism-curious Americans and was totally turned off by the lack of textual and intellectual rigor.

It didn't help that, in a talk by one of the sangha leaders, it became pretty clear he didn't know what right view was, and thought it meant viewing other people fairly and without prejudice. (It does not.)

🎬️ watched The Net (1995)

Absolute scam movie. It's presented as if it's Hackers (1995) with Sandra Bullock, but all the computer stuff boils down to "what if there was an icon in the bottom right of a program and if you right clicked it it showed you govonment secrats!!!!" and like one time where she types /whois in IRC.

The image is a movie poster for "The Net," featuring Sandra Bullock. The background is dark with a blue digital theme, suggesting a cyber or technological setting. The title "THE NET" is prominently displayed in large red letters at the bottom. The name "SANDRA BULLOCK" is at the top in white capital letters. Below the title, there is a list of items that have been "DELETED," including her driver's license, credit cards, bank accounts, and identity. The poster includes a small inset image of a person standing in front of computer monitors, reinforcing the technological theme. The bottom of the poster lists the film's production details, including the director Irwin Winkler and the production company Columbia Pictures.

It’s been decades since Colorado had inter-city train service. That’s about to change

"Diesel-powered trains will thunder west from Denver through the Continental Divide to Granby starting late next year, marking the first stage in a multi-year effort to launch inter-city passenger rail service in Colorado.

The state-funded Mountain Rail trains will run year-round to Granby and soon after to Steamboat Springs and Craig. Colorado leaders say their rollout — including trains linking..."

A imagem é uma captura de tela de um tweet do perfil "DataFut" ([@]DataFutebol), que está verificado. O tweet foi postado há 2 minutos e contém uma crítica à estreia do treinador Antônio Oliveira no comando do Sport Recife. O texto diz: "Em 20 minutos de jogo, a torcida do Sport já está chamando o Antônio Oliveira de burro. O Antônio Oliveira está estreando no comando do Sport." A fonte do tweet é indicada como "Via Premiere".

Na parte inferior da imagem, há um placar de um jogo de futebol entre o Sport Recife e o Cruzeiro. O placar mostra que o Cruzeiro está vencendo com 2 a 0, com o gol do Cruzeiro marcado aos 24 minutos. Os logotipos dos times estão presentes: o do Sport Recife à esquerda, com um leão dourado sobre fundo vermelho e branco, e o do Cruzeiro à direita, com um círculo azul contendo cinco estrelas brancas e o nome do clube.

I need to figure out how to use Mastodon. It's the only platform where I'm free to curate my own feed, but I haven't really figured out how yet.

Un solo clic. Una foto. E l’AI parte a cercare il cane smarrito. Ogni anno ne spariscono milioni.

Oggi c’è un sistema che potrebbe cambiare tutto: basta caricare una foto del cane: l’intelligenza artificiale la confronta con dati morfologici dei musi dei cani nei rifugi, nelle associazioni e nei canili. E se trova una corrispondenza, ti avvisa.

È semplice. È veloce. E può fare la differenza tra giorni d’ansia... e un ritorno a casa.

we can appreciate #billGates for his charity

but it is unnecessary that he accumulated so much wealth in the first place

mainly because there's no guarantee he would become a bill gates. he might have wound up as (as many #billionaire shitbags do), as a #musk

@hspiekman @lmgenealogy @samiamsam @MaryAustinBooks @jbluespruce @ASprinkleofSage Microsoft's business practices were despicable from the beginning. They strong-armed merchants with anticompetitive demands. They bought and destroyed companies that competed with them. They provided only importers and not exporters for critical apps. They became a tyranical and they ate most of an industry for as long as they could. He ended up a billionaire because of it.

I wonder what things would have been like if those competing businesses had not been destroyed by Microsoft's monopolistic, domineering behavior? Might we have had better tech? Less lock-in? Less planned obsolescence of technology via withhiolding software as a means to drive new hardware sales? MS showed other companies that they could do that and not lose their customers.

Sorry, I'm channeling my inner Louis Rossman...

The image depicts a gardening scene with a peony bush in the center, adorned with large pink flowers and green leaves. A person wearing a blue glove is seen sprinkling a white granular substance, likely fertilizer, around the base of the plant. To the right of the bush, there is a bag of low-nitrogen fertilizer labeled "5-10-10," indicating its nutrient composition. The background features a wooden fence and a clear blue sky, suggesting a well-maintained garden setting. The focus is on the action of fertilizing the plant, emphasizing the importance of proper care for healthy growth.

Maybe Trump could beseech Qatar for a gift of some air traffic controllers, to go with his spiffy new jet.

"Trump is accepting a 747-8 “flying palace” jumbo jet from Qatar as a gift. ABC: “The Trump admin is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar - a gift that is to be available for use by President Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation.”
