  • Florida GOP legislature sends new House map, netting party up to 4 seats, to DeSantis for signature

    Jump

  • Feels good to see someone else bringing this up before I have a chance to! Hopefully it feels even better to see it in about 6 months

  • TIL the largest national park in the European Union is in South America

    Jump

  • France shares its longest land border with Brazil

  • Buffalo fans finish 'O Canada' after mic fails before Game 5 of Sabres-Bruins series

    Jump

  • Buffalo is the only NHL team to play both national anthems before home games, regardless of opponent, a tradition tied to its proximity — about eight kilometres — to the border and a strong Canadian fan base.

    That's actually really cool!

  • TIL about Detroit Electric

    Jump

  • Honestly, people love to shit on the PT Cruiser but at least it tried to be a little different - arguably in a cool retro way!

  • ‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers

    Jump

  • May this be the beginning of the end, or at least the end of the beginning. Quite possibly with a bubble burst so we can move on from the era of slop (am I being too optimistic?)

  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

    Jump

  • But how should a singer who produces an album, or an author who writes a book, or whatever be compensated? Its popularity isn't really known until after it's published, it's not really fair for a damn good writer to get paid the same as someone who produces slop.

  • "What the Fuck Is Going On in Sam Altman’s Head" (Art by Smooth Dunk)

    Jump

  • To be fair electricity is kind of the only thing where that works, and has only recently become a mainstream thing. I can't really dig a well and sell my water back to the water company or make my own TV channels

  • I spotted an albino dalmatian the other day.

    Jump

  • Maybe I need sleep, but this one had me laughing on the couch like a giant idiot.

  • lemmy.world is gone. who wants to sword fight?

    Jump

  • I'm not dead yet!

  • TIL steak Canadian was not invented in Canada and almost no one in Canada knows what it is.

    Jump

  • Canadian bacon comes from the back (as in, near the back bone) of the pig. Ham comes from the other back (as in, the butt)... Which isn't to be confused with the pork butt (also called pork shoulder) from the front, typically used for pulled pork.

  • ‘In two years, nobody will care’ if actors are AI or not, predicts La Haine director

    Jump

  • Agreed, but uh... Nobody's* (as in, nobody is. Not plural of nobody)

  • tech never works for long

    Jump

  • Well, I'm not talking about cameras. I'm asking about my oven not because I think I shouldn't care about it, but because I genuinely want to know why I should. Like, I can't imagine some algorithm is saying "guys, this guy set his oven to 350 an hour before dinner, we got him!"

  • WhatsApp is now testing its subscription service, here's what you get and how much it costs

    Jump

  • Didn't it start ages ago with some nominal monthly/yearly fee, like 99 cents? This was before I started using it, but I could swear it had a fee before Meta bought it and through that time it did build up a pretty significant user base.

  • tech never works for long

    Jump

  • What time you usually cook, so the best time to show you other advertisements

    I guess I can grant you that they would learn that I eat dinner around dinner time, maybe a little later than most but also not abnormally so.

    or if you’re in the store once super targeted customer by customer pricing gets implemented (it’s already in place in many locations)

    I've seen that stores want to be able to adjust prices based on time of day or whatever, and my store has mostly switched to eink price labels so it's a matter of time... But per person? How are they supposed to offer one price to me and another to someone reaching for the gallon of milk at the same time?

  • tech never works for long

    Jump

  • Honest question though: what of real value can a company gain by knowing that I turned my oven to 350, or that I switched my air conditioning on? Assuming app permissions match what's needed and I'm not giving up my contacts or whatever. Or is that a more common issue than I realize?

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple's chief executive officer, and hardware engineering chief John Ternus is set to take over September1st, Apple announced today.

    Jump

  • As (currently) the only other person to reply to that net-upvoted comment, pretty much that. I also did not up- or downvote

  • Which isn't even called the iWatch

  • I mean, he is stepping down from that position but will continue to be with the company. If the headline just said he's stepping down it could imply that he's leaving entirely which would not be true.

  • Trump energy secretary says gas prices might not drop back under $3 a gallon until 2027

  • Mostly I've heard that we were on the brink of being nuked by the weapons we obliterated a few months ago
