And this is why I don't use apps on my phone! Especially for Facebook and Twitter, they're data-scraping privacy-invading hellholes.

@Gargron This article is based off of information that was originally making rounds in 2016. In 8 years since, there was never **any concrete evidence** showing that they can actually do this. None.

Considering that adtech is rife with fraud (to the tune of $billions swindled from advertisers annually), a more likely explanation is that this is just a bunch of grifters with a pitch deck looking to score off of gullible advertisers.

What is this marketing though?

Like gtfo, you're building off of Valve's work, you even reference Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher and claim that SteamOS is 'Compatible with Steam only' and 'Locked to the Valveverse' like what?

I'm not even saying that a gaming distro not tied to Valve's ecosystem is a bad thing, but the desperation to paint SteamOS as on par with Windows is absurd.

In other news, we have a bison herd here, just south of town on the Medewin Tallgrass National Prairie reserve they made over the old Joliet arms manufacturng site. You can see the herd on their lie webcam At the time I am posting, the herd is visible on camera.

> we must be careful about articulating where this emergence happens: is it collecting large sums of writing that somehow leads to a superintelligence? Or is it more likely to emerge in the rush to integrate various AI systems into decision-making tasks they are wholly unsuited to tackle?

This made me laugh:

4 Bavarian tourists visited Leavenworth. Here’s what they thought


"We are a group of journalists living and working in Austria, two of us were born in Munich, the capital of Bavaria. Here in Seattle this summer, we attended a summer school at the University of Washington about solutions journalism, a story approach that usually does not include beer tasting.

"Before we even landed, fellow travelers on the plane started to recommend a visit to the “Bavarian village up there.” As journalists, we started our research: Was there a long-lost German community in the Cascades? An enclave, forgotten by its own ancestors? But it was far easier: The whole Bavarian theme was a marketing ploy."

When I was growing up we would regularly visit Leavenworth: sometimes on the way to summer Bible camp, sometimes on the way to a ski vacation. Many years later after having visited Germany a few times, I went back and found the whole place as comical as the above tourists did!

in reply to Muse

Hah that's funny! If only Germany had more than Bavarian culture...
in reply to Muse

Everyone knows Swabian isn't really a "culture". 😛

Lovely picture, though. Really. You have an eye for this.



I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. Intel commissioned the weaving as a gift to the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. 1/6
