techtrights-sec6with a software project written and maintained by a large team.  Dec 27 03:49
schestowitz-piyesterday while dashing back home (Dec 27 03:51
schestowitz-pirant: they do not sell spray paint anywhere! you can guess why!)Dec 27 03:51
schestowitz-pii thought, had the news been this slow every week, i'd be coding morerDec 27 03:51
schestowitz-pii intentionally did not write much this weekDec 27 03:51
schestowitz-piit's just not the right timeDec 27 03:51
techtrights-sec6I have to get back into the right mindset for scripting again.  ThereDec 27 03:51
techtrights-sec6are some tasks left to do still, such as adding drafts to the SSGDec 27 03:51
schestowitz-pi2025 _should_ be more productive than 2024Dec 27 03:53

schestowitz-pi((i t ry NOT to mention "trump" in daily links, if possiblke...)Dec 27 03:56
schestowitz-pi"US Gov. plans to..." - OKDec 27 03:56
schestowitz-pi"Trump says he will.." - noDec 27 03:56
techtrights-sec6You can get almost all the way from the UK to Rovaniemi by train these Dec 27 03:57
techtrights-sec6days, but I think each leg of the trip would be a week.Dec 27 03:57
techtrights-sec6that also means that continental Europe is available via train from the  UKDec 27 03:57
techtrights-sec6News only declines these days, both in qualityu and in quantityDec 27 03:57
techtrights-sec6Articles with the string 'Trump' in the headline are generally filler,Dec 27 03:57
techtrights-sec6not reporting in any manner.Dec 27 03:57
techtrights-sec6He says contradictory things within minutes so there  is *no* point inDec 27 03:57
techtrights-sec6them wasting space on articles about it.Dec 27 03:57
schestowitz-pi1) we will travel again, but cannot say when or where to. rianne's parents' anniversary is 50 in a number of months.Dec 27 04:00
schestowitz-pi2) quality if the issue, the deline was huge this year, lots of slop or sites running another site's articlesDec 27 04:00
schestowitz-pisome of daily links are dupes, same text, diff. headline and siteDec 27 04:00
schestowitz-pi3)  there are "signatures" for bad 'articles' - those can be skipped very fastDec 27 04:00
techtrights-sec6But her parents are in Singapore and that requires some dangerous layoversDec 27 04:01
techtrights-sec6AI Slop is only part of the problem but definitely a big partDec 27 04:01
techtrights-sec6Dupes in that the same wirefeed is used by multiple sites.  Yes, the scriptsDec 27 04:01
techtrights-sec6cannot detect  that.Dec 27 04:01
techtrights-sec6More sites take that kind of shortcutDec 27 04:01

schestowitz-pias the blockquotes too have identical contentsDec 27 04:02
schestowitz-piyou think those are "new" articlesDec 27 04:02
schestowitz-pibut it can be times of india running nytimes or RFA reposting somethingDec 27 04:02
schestowitz-piso there is an illusion of breadthDec 27 04:02
techtrights-sec6Yes, but the work flow would be far more difficult and many times slowerDec 27 04:02
techtrights-sec6to deal with that with the currenrtr (lack of) tools.  Dec 27 04:02
schestowitz-pithe best tool is memoryDec 27 04:03
schestowitz-pilike, i think i saw this yesterday...Dec 27 04:03
schestowitz-pior... this domain seems to mostly repost others' stuffDec 27 04:03
techtrights-sec6memory is a finite resourceDec 27 04:05
techtrights-sec6The Indian sites are best in some ways because they actually post more of Dec 27 04:05
techtrights-sec6the wire feeds, which means unlike the NYT and its compeitors the Indian Dec 27 04:05
techtrights-sec6sites accidentally cover a bit of tech and tech policy.Dec 27 04:05
techtrights-sec6So between ET and NYT, I would choose the former if only one were keptDec 27 04:05

techtrights-sec6Well he's gotten to the stage where he is making stuff up and then arguing  Dec 27 04:22
techtrights-sec6when contradicted about the false statements. Dec 27 04:22
techtrights-sec6This paperwork cannot be completed poshumously at all.   Dec 27 04:22

IsambardPrinceI think that Pritzker should hurry up and cram a lot of social policy into the Illinois Constitution now.Dec 27 07:55
IsambardPrinceWe could put in a right to abortion, abolish the death sentence forever, and some other things in there, and the conversation would be over.Dec 27 07:55
IsambardPrinceThe election of Donald Trump showed how fragile the Democratic supermajority in Illinois actually is.Dec 27 07:56
IsambardPrinceWe've had a Republican governor in just the last decade, and Trump came within 10 points of Harris, which halved the difference from 2020.Dec 27 07:57
IsambardPrinceThe Republicans take over states and turn it into a cram-a-thon of Constitutional amendments just in case they ever lose.Dec 27 07:58
IsambardPrinceThere's definitely been some of this going on here, but not as much as I would hope.Dec 27 07:58

IsambardPrinceBy a group of convicted pedophiles and mentally ill people.Dec 27 08:01
IsambardPrinceschestowitz-pi, You did say "disorderly conduct" 10 years before that.Dec 27 08:02
IsambardPrinceSo what did you know and when did you know it? :PDec 27 08:02
IsambardPrincehttps://wgntv.com/news/chicagocrime/cpd-woman-sexually-assaulted-during-west-ridge-home-invasion/Dec 27 08:03
IsambardPrince"Chicago police said the attack unfolded just before 3 a.m. in the 6200 block of North Bell while the victim, a 27-year-old woman, was sleeping. The victim told officers that a man entered her home and displayed a knife before he sexually assaulted her and stole some of her personal property. "Officers described the suspect in the case as a black man with dreadlocks[...]"Dec 27 08:03
IsambardPrinceIf you threw a ham sandwich across the room, most of them would be fucking it before it hit the floor.Dec 27 08:04
IsambardPrinceBroke in to steal shit, when he saw a "female", it's like "Oh, while I'm here."Dec 27 08:05
IsambardPrinceMost blacks I hear casually talking between themselves, the men, they say "female" and they say it in a contemptuous tone.Dec 27 08:05
IsambardPrinceLike "mah female" "I be givin' her mah dick." "Hahahaha"Dec 27 08:06
IsambardPrinceUtterly revolting.Dec 27 08:06
IsambardPrinceI figure they don't act like this in most Western countries because we got the people the village didn't want because they were criminals, rapists, and crazies, and they sold them as slaves.Dec 27 08:07
IsambardPrinceIn other countries, they probably made it there through some sort of work and effort and they're probably respectable.Dec 27 08:08
