So 6 days of 12-hour shifts? Sounds like a pretty novel way to tank your economy because no one’ll have the time to spend money or raise a family.

In the age of AI satire and comedy are dead.

Necroprinting is the new Necromancer skill upgrade I’ve been waiting for.

I think I’m mixing the two because there are services that kind of turn Mastodon into an RSS reader.

That’s true that it is somewhat more robust than requiring a federated account, but I think that comes at the cost of discoverability which may or may not be something you might want to broadcast on a social network anyway 🤷‍♂️

So basically government fediverse instances.

Certified bullshit

Most of the items in the Vatican collection were sent to Rome by Catholic missionaries for a 1925 exhibition in the Vatican gardens. The Vatican insists the items were “gifts” to Pope Pius XI, who wanted to celebrate the church’s global reach, its missionaries and the lives of the Indigenous peoples they evangelized.

But historians, Indigenous groups and experts have long questioned whether the items could really have been offered freely, given the power imbalances at play in Catholic missions at the time.

The rest of the article is an interesting read.

It’s already hard enough to get people to donate even $20 towards fediverse projects like Lemmy or Mastodon.

If he does lose his position as leader, he’ll still maintain his position as MP, right? I’d be shocked if he abandoned his step-stool constituents.

My hope is this translates into Canada strengthening its position as a global scientific research hub as the US drains their talent pool.

Refreshingly for a big-budget fantasy show, The Witcher will bow out with its story complete, rather than at some dissatisfying midpoint due to an unceremonious cancellation. And though viewers will be seeing a final season of monsters, magic, mages, swords, skulduggery and swearing next year, the final two seasons were filmed back to back, meaning after the evening’s shindig, that’s that.

Glad to know I can finish the show with a proper ending, whatever that entails.

Under questioning, however, one of Proven’s employees admitted that he had been able to duplicate McNally’s technique, leading to the question from McNally’s lawyer: “When you did it yourself, did it occur to you for one moment that maybe the best thing to do, instead of file a lawsuit, was to fix the lock?”

Litigation over innovation; that’s the American way.

This seems like the kind of thing that would be easily susceptible to manipulation by more AI.
