"We invented a machine that thinks!" "It's not thinking..." "Technically true, but it can CREATE new content out of thin air." "It steals everything it spits out by scraping the internet..." "Okay, got me there, but think of the information access; now everyone with a phone has their own research assistant and the Library of Alexandria!" "The machine spits out wrong answers; like every time." "Look, fuck you, we own everything and you're buying it." #WeLiveInASociety #HowIBecameTheJoker

Business leaders: We can't find enough workers! Workers: You could pay more. Business: Nope. Workers: Better benefits? Business: No. Workers: More flexible hours? Business: No way. Workers: Treat your current employees better to build your employer brand? Business: Never. Workers: Well, what's left?! Business: Child labor! https://apnews.com/article/iowa-governor-child-labor-laws-e8cb29e2a45b956489c4a192b7ddeba5

I can’t remember who it was that was asking on the fediverse about parcing likes from Twitter in some sort of a useable format with dates, but I am here to tell whoever it was that the reason we can’t do this is because Twitter does not include so much as a unix timestamp in the like.js file contained in your archive, which is also why we can’t sort from oldest to newest in the HTML renderer. All you get is the text and expanded archive.
Welp so much for that project… https://acarson.wtf/?p=256695
