AI meets hype: All companies use it, everyone loses their job.
AI fails hype: Circular financing breaks, economy implodes, everyone loses their job.
Is that where we are at right now?
@paul AI fails hype: people in tech/design who didn't buy into the hype charge 10x their regular rate as consultants to institutions everywhere to fix all the damage, we rebuild the world, hopefully a post-capitalist, more sustainable one

It seems that you actually work at KDE e. V., so maybe you could tell why applicants to the vacancies at this organisation do not receive any response after the initial confirmation for the application?

Not every listener is a fan. Not every fan is a member. 🎙️
TrueFans has launched Memberships.
Every listener on TrueFans is one of three types:
🎧 Listener: discovering your show
⭐ Fan: gets email and push notifications
💎 Member: gets paid perks and premium content
Creators decide which features are free for everyone, which are for fans only and which are for paying members only.
My favourite part: podcasters have total control over every feature on their podcast page.
For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.
How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

@Cliff538 He's like Norman Rockwell, except Kodachrome film is the medium. His self portrait looks like an actual Rockwell painting.

Here is a thread about build systems, open source accessibility, and The Other Bad Thing
i'm not american so i don't know if it's true, it's just a rumor. i've heard that in america, you are only supposed to have fun by spending money. if you have fun doing something that isn't supposed to be fun, apparently that's seen almost like a fetish, a kind of perversion, and you're making it weird for everybody else who does that thing for normal reasons like 'making money'. it's really weird that you care about it and enjoy it for your own weird reasons, they don't like that. apparently
@jk you can see it in how we come up with new sports, which are always just old sport with new equipment for you to buy. some enterprising sports fans figured out that you only need one frisbee to play frisbee with a friend but golf requires a whole set of golf clubs for each player to buy to play with a friend so they came up with disc golf so that every player has multiple frisbees to play with friends that they don’t have because they’re into disc golf.
@djsundog a good walk, monetized
can we get this in fedora plssss
