Which is Donald J Trump's most important Crypto?

"Everyone too busy trying to survive to spend any time creating something new.
"We found the protomolecule at exactly the right time for it to do the most damage to us, Holden thought.
'It had looked like a shortcut. A way to avoid having to do any of the work, to just jump straight to godhood."

--Leviathan Wakes, by James S.A. Corey

This is a post about #GenAI.

I am disappointed and disgusted to learn that gooners are not the Goonies equivalent of Trekkers.

Wait, if Marco Inaros is commander of the Free Navy, does that make his crew freelowda?

I've got a craving for pastrami, specifically a hot pastrami sandwich with dark mustard and tomatoes, preferably on marbled rye, about 3-4 inches thick. Evan's is not as good as Koch's was. Famous 4th Street's is cold and just ok. So I'm looking for recommendations, #Philly peeps. Where's the best #pastrami sandwich in #Philadelphia or the collar counties?

Wikipedia says the Binface-Farage by-election in #Clacton has been tentatively scheduled for August 13. It's gonna be a long month.

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts

Ok, NBC was smart enough to know they can't do a #Phillies game without John #Kruk but ... he's in a suit!?

I'd sooner have expected to see one of my cats in a suit, and I can't help imagining whoever dressed him has almost as many scratches as if they were dressing up a cat.

This is the next step after patriarchal assholes throw large portions of their population into the abattoir of a useless and losing war of aggression, then think they need to replace all that lost blood.

And for every cop who gets fired or arrested for abusing Flock (really, using Flock as intended to abuse people they already know), there are thousands who don't.

Thomas Massie may have angered Trump, but he was still a queerphobic bigot and I won't mourn him losing his seat. I just hope Kentuckians can get enough non-fascist voters out to defeat Gallrein in the (gerrymandered) general election

A couple new #scrapers to block that I haven't seen on robotstxt.com:
* Amzn-SearchBot is the search engine for Alexa and Rufus. Amazon claims on https://developer.amazon.com/amazonbot that it doesn't do AI training, but it still hammered our sites the past two days.
* SleepBot I haven't found much on, but it was requesting URLs for files that were submitted in a document upload spam attack we had a few months ago. Very sus.

SSDs fly under the radar for us old heads because it used to be that when something was writing that much disk you'd hear it.

TFW you get a free space alert on your /home and see that Steam has written a 49G log file in a matter of two hours (I will not run Fallout 76 with PROTON_LOG=1 again.)

But then you look around and ~/.cache is the same size because Deja Dup has saved uncompressed manifest files going back to 2001.

TFW someone pushes back asking what "best practices" means and demanding a citation, then saying he asked Claude to help him with a design.

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap over tall buildings in a single bound.
