we are looking for a schematic for the Entex Space Invader handheld... if you can help we'd be thrilled!
The year is 2026.
You answer unknown phone calls with random voices, languages, or accents.
Because if you don't.
Your voice could be stolen.
And used to trick your loved ones.
@Moosader I should probably put more effort into not using my voice.
I usually say "Who is this?" then say in a somewhat robotic sounding voice. "To prove you aren't a robot please say today's date" I have yet to hear the date after starting that lol.
Last night Thing2 and her fiancee took Lyricdancer and @thewoodbinewitch and me to see Wildwood at the Baghdad pub/theater in Portland, and I have to say that 1,000% the best way to see #Wildwood is at a pub/theater in Portland. First and foremost, it's a love story to Portland and environs: St John's, Forest Park, Haystack Rock, the Columbia Gorge, wine country all are beautifully represented, as are the inside jokes about Portland's people (the dad in a hipster beanie sitting at the kitchen table knitting a hipster beanie for his infant son), and the audience cheered and clapped and oohed and ahhed at every local reference.
And then, if you want a good story with strong characterization and arguably the best stop motion photography ever done, this is it too. Strong recommend.
Is there a Hung Far Low reference?

U.S. ASKS RUSSIA TO PROPOSE SECURITY AGREEMENT WITH #EUROPE:
Axios reports that the U.S. has asked Russia to submit a proposal for a potential security agreement with Europe aimed at easing tensions with the continent.
In the past, Russia has demanded an agreement with Europe to limit NATO’s expansion and its military presence in Eastern Europe.
https://www.axios.com/2026/11/11/russia-ukraine-europe-war-security-agreement
@timkmak the only agreement should be for Russia to GTFO of Ukraine and stop their hybrid warfare against Europe. Obscene.

This is all reinforcing my strong belief that you should never, ever give a middle-aged man a leather jacket.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
i'm guessing this is just a malicious bot but in case someone legit is trying to download videos from peertube using ffmpeg please don't, use the download link on the video. the server will remux it for you and it uses a lot less bandwidth. i've been IP-banning anyone downloading videos with ffmpeg.

Not sure I know exactly your take but for me slop is anything you push into a product I was already using, or any time you materially change how something is made without enough human oversight ton crash 365ora reactor or a government
@john So, if it isn’t obvious, I reacting (very badly) to this Humble Bundle redesign.
I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, but I feel like everyone is just so ready to reach for the “vibe code” excuse way too quickly as a way to help justify their already locked position on the current state of AI.
I feel that any code could pass muster for a human if worked on by professionals who know what they are doing.
Also, humans make mistakes and things break. Computers are complex.

I’m using a combo of mailbox.org and Addy.io for aliasing. Works great.
I pointed all 13 of my various emails to a forward@mydomain email on Addy. Put a rule on mailbox.org to throw those emails in a folder called “change me”, and ive been going through daily and changing or deleting or unsubscribing from everything that hits that box.
It feels nice only having one email again but also having the ability to make and turn off email aliases to stop junk and spam.
@rq4c Sure - as long as we are also tackling the "now", learning from how we might tackle it as part of parenting / upbringing could be valuable. I'm not necessarily convinced that that is the only source of opportunity, but it cannot hurt to consider it.
My issue with this subject is that it is always about the 'now' and the 'how', and never about the 'why'.
What other problem would intelligent people try to tackle by studiously ignoring what caused/causes it?
You can't put out a fire if you don't understand the fuel.
“Gen Z Regulates”
A New Wave of Unrest in Germany?
https://crimethinc.com/GenZregelt
For months, unrest has been spreading across Europe. On Halloween, the youth protests finally reached Germany. Under the motto “Gen Z regelt” (“Gen Z regulates”), tens of thousands took to the streets of nearly 40 German cities on October 31.
While a large-scale uprising like the one in France remains unlikely, the first cracks in the pacification of society are starting to show. In this report, two anarchists describe their experiences in two different demonstrations and discuss the potential of the events.
Ontology-informed context is key to better outcomes with AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Grok Bot, Muse, OpenCode, and Pi. That much is clear. The shape and form it should take are less settled.
Here's one answer: LOAM in knowledge graph mode.
#VirtuosoRDBMS #KnowledgeGraph #Ontology #AI #Agentic #DataSpaces #SemanticLayer #ContextLayer
LOAM (Linked Open Agent Memory) keeps an agent's rules in an ontology-informed knowledge graph. The agent checks which rules apply, then reaches for skills first, like Data Twingler for SQL, SPARQL and SPASQL queries. Any model, any harness.
