People miss a lot more obvious shit these days, but it’s still disappointing.

It doesn’t help that there’s just an onslaught of fucked up news coming out of the USA which makes it all more difficult to keep up with. “Flood the zone with shit” is working well and the US barely has any real journalism left to counter it. I actually find CBC here in Canada covers what’s going on better than any news corp in the country it reports on which is funny in a depressing way

What are you using the old x86 timing functionality for, or rather what would it be needed for?

edit: I’m not trying to be a dick or be interrogative, I’m genuinely asking.

Lack of commute is the only reason I took an in office job again too. I’ve spent like 7 out of 8 years of my career working from home and I really didn’t think I’d ever be convinced to go back but my new job’s office is under 10 minutes away by bike and I get at least one day a week to work from home. It’s officially 4 days a week in office but my manager is really relaxed about that requirement if my work is getting done

Sorry, as an executive of a major company I may have misheard you but did you say “replace half the team with an LLM and then make those remaining pick up the slack”?

I feel like it should fall under treason

Ditto from Canada

For those who haven’t read the (admittedly clickbaity) article, it’s not a new virus and isn’t any huge threat:

HMPV has also been detected in L.A. County, though at levels considered low to moderate at this point, data show.

While HMPV may not necessarily ring a bell, it isn’t a new virus. Its typical pattern of seasonal spread was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, and its resurgence could signal a return to a more typical pre-coronavirus respiratory disease landscape.

There’s a reason at least half the world despises the US

The Walrus is a fairly well known and respected media outlet in Canada! They do a lot of good journalism

Well, I think it’d be like the 7th(?) Crusade but this time it’ll work out!!

Not me though

Rubio says no US personnel involved, it was not a US operation

Yeah, I don’t believe that

I’d love to extend rule 2 to no politics in general honestly (maybe just US politics?). I want some reprieve from it but even the damn shitposting community is overrun

What are you gaining from being so insufferable lol

It might just be Politico being the polling source since it’s right-wing media company. In my anecdotal experience as a Canadian, not a single person I know across the political spectrum likes the US or Americans right now. It was a very strained relationship before 2016 but any resemblance of respect we had for the US is long gone at this point

Well said

Most recently, xAI has come under fire after Grok began generating nonconsensual sexual images of real people in response to X user prompts.

That’s an understatement…

Its harsh but seriously, the US is destroying itself and trying to take down everyone else with it and fuck them for that

Canada has very little gun violence overall and the gun violence we do have is usually done with guns smuggled in from the US…

It’s telling that when a mass shooting does happen here, it makes world news

It started immediately :(:
