Julie WebgirlRead this carefully: “As we continue to expand Alexa’s capabilities with generative AI features that rely on the processing power of Amazon’s secure cloud, we have decided to no longer support this feature.”That processing power ain't free folks.

Klongeiger<a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a> never stopped using RSS, though realizing YouTube channels also have RSS feeds was enlightening. However, and a new low, whenever I want to actually watch the video in my feed reader, I get those obnoxious "Sign in to confirm you are not a bot. This helps to protect our community" messages.

David<a href="https://kolektiva.social/@LeftistLawyer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@LeftistLawyer</a> “Neoliberal” is one of too many examples of leftists and other progressives tending to be strategically self-defeating in our choice of labels for concepts. The misunderstanding of the term would have been entirely foreseeable and mostly avoidable, had the people coining the term (or later people coining a synonym) taken a moment to consider the perspective of the unpersuaded audience: particularly in light of non-vocational post-secondary education being, in most countries (certainly including the US), a class privilege. In other words: it’s one of many examples where we really should’ve taken a lesson from capitalist marketers in branding.
