Correct answer is, "who cares?" One thing some on the left get wrong is reacting to EVERYTHING.

Closing Central Madrid To Cars Resulted In 9.5% Boost To Retail Spending, Finds Bank Analysis City of Madrid significantly boosted the takings of its shops and restaurants last Christmas by banning cars from the CBD, finds an analysis by Spain's second largest bank.

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business โ€” closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.

There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

A one page document showing a prompt, and Gemini's response, discussing the existence of LibGen (Library Genesis) and the irony that a massive digital library of humanity's published written works is inaccessible to many people but directly used by AI companies to train their for-profit models.

A one page document showing a prompt, and Gemini's response, discussing the existence of LibGen (Library Genesis) and the irony that a massive digital library of humanity's published written works is inaccessible to many people but directly used by AI companies to train their for-profit models.

Today's @theverge.com Vergecast pod www.theverge.com/podcast/8729... was thought provoking. Motivated me to learn more about LibGen. Amazing that it exists! Sad that the giant library is inaccessible to so many people yet foundational to for-profit AI companies. At least Gemini could commiserate...

Retro gaming! Fell all the way down a rabbit hole and found the amazing TRS-80 Color Computer Archive with Rainbow magazines... instantly transported back to my 1980s living room and typing in 100s of lines of BASIC to make this playable video game. I blame Version History

Oh yeah! Hours or days of typing, THEN the debugging starts ๐Ÿ˜…

Amazing we could input whole, playable games from a magazine.

Been reading Jobs' biography lately, nice nostalgic trip down memory lane.

The best of the Internet includes @archive.org and hobbyists who've curated amazing archives.
