This seems like one of the areas where LLM generative AI could actually be a good thing. It would not be difficult to have such a system desensationalize the media we consume. It'd still be propaganda, but it would largely be toothless. Propaganda relies heavily on appeals to our fears and other emotions. Put it through a sieve that filters most of that out and it becomes much less engaging.

It's apparently PowerAutomate Adaptive cards.

It's MS Teams with their PowerAutomate flows from Fabric. The limitation might not exist in the direct rest API, which I could have used through Python; but it's a hackathon, and my other team mates know PowerAutomate. Faster if we each coordinate using what we're good with.

Honestly no idea. It's funny though. The API allows us to either read it directly from our lakehouse with the 28Kb limit, or allows us to encode it in a json object. It actually recommends using the json method if we want to send larger files... but then complains it's too large if it's over 28Kb 🤷‍♂️

I think it was probably originally only intended to allow attaching icons.

Literally just today solved a problem of delivering analytics plots over our internal chat system. The file size limit is 28Kb and I was just getting ready to say screw it, can't be done.

Lo and behold our chat system that doesn't support svg does support webp. Even visually complicated charts come in just below the size limit with webp.

I think the proliferation of videos as primary information sources is a huge part of how propaganda and disinformation became so effective and powerful. It's why we've done a collective nosedive into regressive politics and can no longer agree on the objective facts regarding.. well.. anything!

Information delivered by video tends to be trusted on the way it's delivered rather than the content itself. So we're thinking less critically about what we choose to believe.

I love seeing comments like yours where people change some of their thinking as a result of online discussion.

I was starting to feel like no one listens to understand and only listen to respond, and comments like this help lift me out of that perspective.

Half of an ortholinear split keyboard and a trackball that's missing the ball.

I showed this meme to my wife and she showed me this in response. It's the second result in a search for Trump Hair Shoes

I looked into it a little using TinEye and the image predates generative AI images of this quality. I actually think it's a photoshopped normal cat; possibly as part of that weird trend of making some small detail of a normal photo look freakish.

I absolutely support this response. The US shouldn't be allowed to swing its military might around to extort or absorb its neighbors. That said, it absolutely will and I hope it pays dearly for it.

I'm gonna be brutally honest here: unless it's possible to reverse climate change impacts, the US was always going to invade and annex Canada. Even if we had a string of only progressive Presidents leading up to that point. The southern half of our country is about to become agriculturally useless and nearly uninhabitable. The only place for the US to go is north.
