Reddit: humans welcome (bots must wear name tags)

＂… Things are changing quickly, and we’ll adapt as best we can. We welcome any thoughts and criticism.＂
Reddit takes on the bots with new 'human verification' requirements for fishy behavior | TechCrunch https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/25/reddit-bots-new-human-verification-requirements/
It's great to see such a huge turnout for this past weekend's No Kings Rally. However, at the end of the #weekend, a friend (who works in healthcare) asked me which rally I went to. I told him I didn't attend any due to caregiving responsibilities. He asked what was so difficult about bringing our son to a rally.
So...I want to talk about #caregiving for a bit. I've mentioned here before my son is fully #disabled with severe spastic #quadriplegic cerebral palsy, is #actuallyautistic, and has significant #sensory #needs. Caregiving is physically and emotionally #brutal. It's a significant #life change that, unfortunately, a lot of #people simple do not and cannot fathom - unless it happens to them.
The best way I can describe *my* #experience is it's real time #multivariable #calculus with known, unknown, and constantly changing variables. It requires high level non-linear systems-based thinking to solve #problems, #chaos #management, and constantly being on high alert.
#Burnout is inevitable, the #physical and #emotional #labor is genuinely exhausting on a cellular level, and #time and #access to self care is rare. It's also incredibly #socially #isolating.
In addition to the #social #isolation, navigating the outside world isn't just unnecessarily difficult it's a #failure of the #system. The uncomfortable #reality is most places are NOT #accessible, including #bathrooms. #Toileting is a basic #human #right! My son is too large and heavy for the baby changing stations in "#family #restrooms." We need to put him on a #dirty bathroom floor in order to change his #diaper. Where is the #humanity and #dignity in *that*?
I feel like a broken record explaining this to him for the past six years. It's honestly mind blowing and exhausting.

Humans Were Already Dog People 16,000 Years Ago, DNA Suggests
Some bones indicate that the hunter-gatherers of the time fed dogs fish. Their remains were also treated in similar ways to those of humans in death.

#Singapore warns students to keep their #critical thinking skills and not let #AI blindly #teach or instruct them. I think it is a double edged sword with a sharper side for harm when it comes to #learning / #education. How can students who are learning what they don't know apply critical thinking in that context? #Human resources with expert knowlege are going to be the primary benefactors of #aritificalintelligence in my view.
I use real paint. I create with my own hands and use PS to collage my art into new work. This piece is acrylic on Yupo. Then made into a spherical form. I am having a BALL seeing what my own brain comes up with. :)

I want to make it clear: opposing #fascism is not political. It is not a #Conservative thing, it is not a #Liberal or #Progressive thing.
It is a #democracy thing. It is a #citizen, a #community thing.
Because a #fascist government is effectively indistinguishable from feudalism. There are a few nobles, and everyone else is a #slave. We have been here before.
It is not good for anyone. There isn't a 1%. There are a couple dozen individuals, maybe.
Being #antifascist is being #human.

What do these people actually mean when they shout that man is a machine? It is, as I’ve suggested, that human beings are ‘‘computable’’ (berechenbar), that they are not distinct from other objects in the world, in any way deserving of special respect or even attention. This then leads, at first gradually and then with exponentially increasing speed, to a view of human beings as mere objects who—no! Not who, that—can be exploited, inducted in killing machines, imprisoned, tortured, killed (providing they are ‘‘enemy combatants’’). It leads to the American military sponsoring programs to produce robot soldiers. What is then left of Norbert Wiener’s vision of the human use of human beings? And does not our world show us with utmost clarity how far we have already come?#AI #ComputerScience #human #life #TormentNexus #machinicI want here to emphasize, especially to this audience, that all this is not the fault of the computer. Guilt cannot be attributed to computers. But computers enable fantasies, many of them wonderful, but also those of people whose compulsion to play God overwhelms their ability to fathom the consequences of their attempt to turn their nightmares into reality.

Knowledge known for millennia
Now replicated and sold by an

Distasteful disappointing out of touch

#HotTake: Every #human should be entitled by international #law to free, unseizeable #ID documents in the form of a travel #passport to evidence their #identity and have #FreedomOfMovement as well as a chance to #flee.
- It should also be illegal to demand #biometrics like #Fingerprints which are trivial to forge anyway!
Why?
- Because in past and in present day denying the issue and/or confiscation of #passports has been used and abused solely to commit #democide, #genocide and #hatecrime both #opposition groups and #minorities.

#Christ is #God become #human in time & history in #Jesus but also in all of us. #MeisterEckhart's question, "What good is it to me if #Mary gave birth to the #SonOfGod & I do not do the same?" carries on this same understanding of the omnipresence of Christ in time & history.
