hi fediverse, in your opinion which is the lisp-like language that best maximizes for (a) usefulness and (b) non-toxic community? (i'm trying to pick one to learn and maybe actually get good at?)

One of these will push you into an oubliette of self-hatred and self-harm from which few people ever financially or emotionally recover, and the other is heroin.

I'm certainly astonished to learn that Trump is a colossal racist. And I'm similarly confident that all those who have previously supported him (such as leaders in the tech industry) will now publicly condemn him.

I know the accepted narrative for the RAM shortage is AI data center demand, but is anyone checking to see if any part of this is just artificial scarcity?

They did it with diamonds. Why not computer?

We're nearing a point where only five or so companies can build computers. That's gotta be idk, illegal? lol what is happening.

@richardgrant @liquor_american @jaffathecake @duke_of_germany @firefoxwebdevs @davidgerard The way that I interpret this discussion with Jake, even if it was not Jake who was personally involved, is that:

- Mozilla was always going to plow ahead with AI anyway
- Mozilla knew that Mastodon represented its largest group of its most enthusiastic supporters and promoters, and that this group is traditionally against AI creep
- They sent someone into this community feigning to solicit feedback in an effort to manufacture consent
- This failed predictably and spectacularly, and that hurt the representative's fee fees
- Now that Mozilla has, through naught but their own actions, completely alienated this community, they can claim that WE don't support THEM (c.f. Jake's false victim complex) and can claim moral high ground doing the thing they were so obviously going to do anyway.

So anyway, I've been a vocal supporter of Mozilla and its predecessors since the days of Netscape Navigator. A week ago I installed Vivaldi, and don't plan to go back.

Just got home from supporting a training for new ICE patrol volunteers for a nearby neighborhood school.

For those who may've heard ICE is withdrawing 700 agents from Minnesota, keep in mind that still leaves more than 2000 here. They continue to violate human rights, engage in racial profiling, and cause chaos and terror.

They're even writing "ICE OUT" in the dirt on their vehicles to try to blend in and infiltrate communities and groups.

Talking about election security would be a lot more productive if more people understood two things:

- The existence of a vulnerability is concerning, but does not by itself prove that an election was hacked or compromised.

- Losing an election, even one that you expected to win, is frustrating, but does not by itself prove that an election was hacked or compromised.

I'm looking for a C compiler that:

- is simpler and smaller than TinyCC
- is capable of compiling TinyCC
- is written in *very* simple C or a language simpler than C
- can plausibly support risc-v (I can add codegen myself, just can't have deeply hardcoded x86 assumptions)
- has a FOSS license
- is not GNU Mes

Does anything matching these criteria exist?

Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)

We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.

Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.

Week of Feb 6:
Progress: $0/$340 (food/gas)

I just wanted to add: Thank you, to the community, for keeping us fed in this difficult time.

If you happen to have paid odd jobs that can be done remotely, I'd be happy to take them on. Please DM me with details. I'm skilled with automation and machine learning.
