I think the Reddit blackout did a lot, just not everything. I'm here on Lemmy because of it. Granted I'm still on Reddit as well, and Mastodon, and Xitter...
Just keep plugging along, and every little bit helps.

Monster Green shoppers are likely younger (Gen-Z/Millennial/Gen-X) male, lower income & Caucasian (skews Hispanic).
As an aging member of Gen-X, I appreciate this description.
Inspiring story, can we be like that again?
So much of the extra costs of building seems to be endless rounds of reviews and revisions. Sure, building things better is… better, but we've seen this process hijacked by NIMBY's (IMHO).
I think I got mine in the second or third wave or pre-order shipping. The right trackpad is worn smooth in the centre, I've replaced the joysticks with the Hall effect ones, not as an upgrade but because the originals finally failed. I upgraded the SSD to a 1TB. It's been my constant companion for years now.
One day, there will be a Steam Deck 2, and I'll probably upgrade. In the meantime I'm excited to see the Legion Go, especially the Steam OS version, because it means the market is there.
Hmm, what sort of crimes could I do with an old Okidata dot-matrix printer?
Generously, Trump put him in a bind. On the one hand around a third of his supporters would be down with being the 51st state, or are at least fans of what Trump is doing. If he came out too hard against Trump, he could have bled support to the PPC,
Ironically, electoral reform would save the Conservative Party. It would probably split back into a more PC style centre-right party and a more populist Reform style party. I think an old Joe Clark style PC leader could have done better, but with ⅓ of the modern CPC Qonvoy supporting Trumpians, I don't know that they could elect one. If they did, it would be Erin O'Toole all over again.
Four journalists had an opportunity to ask a question and follow-up of Carney. Only two were real journalists, and the difference was telling.
- Q1a: Missed original identification and question, but apparently what budget cut will be made to make room for promised investments?
- Q1b: where is the $500 billion coming from.
- Q2a: Juno news: Was Justin Trudeau a good Prime Minister?
- Q2b: How you reconcile (working with former LPC members who were part of Trudeau's government)? The "odd" question.
- Q3a: Canadian Press: New immigration targets?
- Q3b: Pipelines take years, how does that protect Canadian sovereignty?
- Q4a: True North: "How many genders are there?"
- Q4b: Do biological women have a right to their own spaces?
As a fellow pedant, I have to point out that even a simple tic-tac-toe algorithm is "AI".
The term AI was coined at the Dartmouth College Summer Workshop in 1956. Early AI focused on developing expert systems and things like heuristics.
Most people conflate AI, the technical term for computerized decision making in general with the SciFi concept of super intelligent computers, and there has been a revolution since about 2010, in that computationally intensive neutral networks that were theoretical became more conceivable and practical. But LLMs are just a single family of AI techniques.
This, even bad 90's game computer AI is just as valid to call AI as the latest OpenAI model. It's just more primitive. Orders of magnitude more primitive, and no neural networks or LLM.
Mythbusters did this with coffee whitener as I recall. Impressive.
This has also happened to sawmills and flour mills, under less controlled circumstances.
The mad "gold rush" mentality towards AGI is nerve-racking. I'm reminded of Protogen's attitude towards the Protomolecule in The Expanse.
I figured we still had 5-ish years to figure it out, but the rapid progress against HLE (Humanity's Last Exam) makes me nervous.
But sure, let's just rush headlong towards the precipice, how hard can alignment be really? My anxiety about the future and the importance of getting this right are not eased by people scoffing because "just count the fingers!" When the field is changing so fast, looking at what was going on a few years ago isn't helpful.
Well, past my pay grade.
Considering that MAGA are the ones cheering at "jokes" about annexation, and the chaos around the Trump Tariffs, what are the chances she's going there to give a robust defence of Canada vs. debase herself in service of a foreign power?
Edited to use a screenshot because disappointingly, apparently I overestimated my fellow Canadian's ability to view a page on the modern internet without accidentally giving out their credit card number. Since I think it's important to include sources, I am still providing the link here.
It's even more disappointing that you are all more concerned about screenshots versus the Premier of a Canadian province going to a MAGA adjacent event while they "joke" about annexation.

The Cursed Expedition was one of my favourite expeditions, so of course I'm redoing it.
The constant drain of the Anomaly Suppressor and the harassment of the Boundary Horrors lends an incessant pressure. That first dash to the ship with an underpowered Boltgun and no Elixirs at hand is reminiscent of a Permadeath start.
I think the slightly reduced targets of the Redux version make it a little less grindy.
And of course, the trash talk…
A bit odd perhaps, at least Ii haven't run into this.
Planets in uncharted systems have no structures. However if you use a portal to travel to a planet in an uncharted system, a Portal will generate. I spent a good deal of time trying to portal to this world, and some other worlds in the same system. I've double-checked the glyphs several times. In all cases I get the address error, approximating. I'll end up in a different system around the same distance from the core every time.
I swear I've done this to generate a portal on uncharted worlds before. Did I not have enough coffee today? Has this been "patched"? As it is I portalled to a bunch of other systems anyways, so got a functional portal base for this galaxy. On to the next.

I picked up this tall boi just before the Adrift Redux expedition, and I was going to remember where I picked him up but… I didn't. Flipped back through my discoveries, no sign. It's the tallest of these big synthetic creatures I've discovered. I'm certain it's the tallest creature I've discovered, but it's not in my wonders either (which make me curious to backtrack to find the tallest that is in my wonders).
I wish you could export your discoveries to a CSV file, or something that let you search through and sort more effectively, but is there any easy way to figure out where a pets origin world was?
Doing the Adrift Expedition Redux (even though I've already done Adrift, I just like doing Expedition), and ran into this at Rendezvous 4, a derelict freighter pretty much crashing into the planet. It apparently tilts gravity, and severely hampers your jump jets. TIL I guess.
I also did the freighter task for free, saving the scanner, so thank to whoever parked a derelict freighter right on top of the rendezvous. Saw lots of other people going into the freighter at the same time, so I think it helped out.

I think I've reported 4 different versions of these ads. They look pretty near identical for the little bit I watch before I report, but the advertiser is always different, but also based in Poland.
