Someone needs to spin up an AI that continuously generates pictures that annoy Donald Trump and posts them to all social media, it should actively learn what makes him and his supporters feel the saddest and optimise for those attributes.

Australias Labor party is sits slightly progressive and slightly left of centre, the greens sits hard left/progressive, given we have more than 8 parties, 4 of which could be considered major parties with 2 of those in the left and none of the issues associated with FPTP and that electoral college nonsense I think Australia is doing alright in the scheme of things, especially compared with the US and UK.
- Comment on Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa among artists urging British Prime Minister Starmer to rethink his AI copyright plans 1 week ago:
Kind of, its a little more complicated than that, I think its probably more accurate to say they have their own issues. The UK system is pretty different from the shitshow in the US.
They also use FPTP but have no electoral college and multiple parties including 4 major parties. So while there are multiple parties, in any given electorate you really need to vote for the party you hate the least that has a chance of winning. The two parties in an electorate that have a chance of winning varies across electorates and regions. They also have the House of Lords instead of a senate with members of House mostly being appointed (for life) rather than elected.
So … its own nonsense. Still seems less shithouse than the US system.

Is anyone calling UK Labour centre-left? I would have thought theyd be sitting just inside the lower right quadrant of the political compass, they might have been centre left when Corbyn was the leader but that was a while ago and Starmer isn’t that kinda guy.

I wonder if her GPS chip is cooked or theres something physically stopping it from seeing enough satellites accurately and it’s reporting her jumping around the road at high speed as it struggles to get a good location lock.

Bizarre, I’ve never encountered this, but maybe I’m just avoiding that segment of people, or the mayo lobby wasn’t as on point in Oz

It sounds like you really enjoy these shows and totally don’t feel like you’ve wasted your time watching them because the premise is similar.

Oof jujutsu kaisen and demon slayer are pretty different from Naruto and bleach. They would at least need to swap positions but even then the story lines and animation styles are pretty different.

I couldn’t get into the anime for Sakamoto days, just felt kinda lame, never touched the manga, I seem to have missed kagurabachi … I’ll give it a look in. As far as I’m concerned Shangri-La frontier and solo levelling were the two standouts from 2024 along with dan-da-dan

Then deadlifts, RDLs, Lat Pull Downs, rows. Deadlifts are great for your erectors but the fatigue is a lot so you’re probably better of with RDLs.

- Comment on Elon Musk uses cybertruck explosion to show Tesla can remotely unlock and monitor vehicles 4 months ago:
The article says they remotely unlocked the car, it says it a few times. I guess they must have implemented a well protected auxiliary battery for the radios phoning home. Seems like they really care about making sure their control survives.
- Comment on Elon Musk uses cybertruck explosion to show Tesla can remotely unlock and monitor vehicles 4 months ago:
Prius’ used to have a problem in that the main power feed ran through the A pillar so emergency services couldn’t cut you out of it without killing themselves. Bit of a different situation though.
I would have thought an average locksmith could have opened it, and given its already exploded there probably wasn’t a need to get it open quick via Tesla tech support. I’m surprised the radios providing telemetry and control even worked in a car that had exploded, particularly a car that appears to be riddled with issues like a cyber truck.

- Comment on So… Australia Just Banned Kids From the Internet 5 months ago:
Yeah education is really where this effort should have gone, classic nanny state Australia. Sadly the law is coming from a generation who’s formative years was moulded by social interactions that were limited to post, rotary telephones, newspapers and school yard whispers. All of those things existed when they were born and were replaced by social media post midlife crisis. They have no concept of how to deal with something like social media. All they see is their friends getting scammed online and their newspapers talking about online child pornography. You’d think they’d realise from cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and old timey porn magazines that outright banning it does almost nothing to stop teenagers accessing it.
“Hey here’s an evolving disruptive technology that is becoming more integrated with our society than the newspaper or telephone ever could have dreamt. Quick let’s ban our kids from it until they are effectively adults so they only have as much understanding of it as me and maybe end up doing something dangerous with it because they have to treat it like a taboo”

I was about to suggest that this should only apply to people hosting web services with a social implications, but I wonder if the definition might be loose enough to be applied to an ISP, or even a parent who is providing access to an ISP.

Arguably they only banned kids from Australia (or 5eyes) hosted social media
