This video (though on YT) is really worth an hour of your time. It's a take on @pluralistic@mamot.fr 's #enshittification extended to tangible products, built around a story about an eighties car. I so feel this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_0xBbEFjLk

https://nos.nl/artikel/2623209-nederland-heeft-watertekort-maatregelen-aangekondigd-voor-eerlijke-verdeling In Vlaanderen is het al sinds 2004 verplicht om regenwateropvang te installeren bij nieuwbouw of grote verbouwing, zodat het gebruikt kan worden voor toilet, wasmachine en tuinbewatering. Waterland Nederland loopt weer eens gruwelijk achterop.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@theverge_com/116077117503882349 So, this whole stunt was a kind of vibe-portfolio-schtick and it worked brilliantly as Sam took the bait. One more reason to keep a really really safe distance from openAI’s products.

LPF&#39;er Philomena Bijlhout mocht na ga beëdiging in 2002 dezelfde dag nog het veld ruimen vanwege jokken over haar &#39;arbeidsverleden&#39;. Het lijkt me dat @D66 het daar niet op wil laten aankomen? #VanBerkel

I just proposed to my colleages that when we catch a student using LLM&#39;s to do their writing and reasoning, we should award their work with a Cum Claude. #baddumtss #dadjoke

Hey Mastodon, I know first deliveries are planned for next month, but has anyone received a Jolla Phone already? Any early birds/press reviews? Am curious about first impressions and experiences!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MAKS23/116611367574382668 Marco Rubio’s parents fled Cuba during the Fulgencio Batista regime, a right-wing fascist government, propped up by the US. Rubio tried to fabricate the narrative that his parents were post-revolution exiles, as that would suit his political aspirations. Fuck him.
