I deeply, deeply do not care about the latest updates to your planet-burning BS-spewing machine. I do not want to use your planet-burning BS-spewing machine. Please stop shoving your planet-burning BS-spewing machine in my face every chance you get.
Look, I *really like* the idea of machine learning and actually really want to use ML features that make my life easier/better. Autocorrect/keyboard suggestions? Yeah I’m a fan. Text to speech? Convenient and accessible! Stunning photos from a tiny sensor? Yes please! Categorizing my photos or extracting text from screenshots? Great, useful!
But I do not want to “chat” with an LLM, doubly so when every interaction is keylogged and then used to train more planet-burning BS-spewing.
I don’t want a computer to pretend to “reason” when it literally can’t reason as well as my five year old—but it sounds sophisticated and smart, so it will trick people into thinking it can.
There are some features LLMs would probably be really good at and I don’t have anything against that, but the fact that the world’s largest corporations are all competing to out-market one another in this space means it’s largely all time-wasting nonsense.
GMKtec EVO-X1 Review: Mini PC shows big performance can come from small packages
The GMKtec EVO-X1 is a mini PC that combines a versatile set of ports with a powerful 12-core, 24-thread AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix Point processor with 16-core RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics and an NPU that delivers up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. And all of that fits inside a compact body that’s smaller than a typical 4×4 NUC computer.
First introduced in late 2024, the EVO-X1 is now […]
Enver Hoxha: The Marxist-Leninists are not conservative and fanatical, as the revisionists and bourgeois charge. On the contrary, they are the most progressive people, resolute fighters against everything outdated and backward. They stand firmly on the positions of the new and fight with all their might for its victory. The revisionists and all the other opportunists who, as lackeys of the bourgeoisie, defend a lost cause, defend an obsolete order of oppression and exploitation, are conservative and reactionary. It is precisely this reactionary position which has plunged modern revisionism into a new crisis. The liberation of the consciousness of the proletariat and the peoples from the inhibiting influence of revisionism, the dissemination of Marxism-Leninism which points out the only correct course for the struggle and victory, is a primary task today in order to carry forward the revolutionary process in each country and on a world scale. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy suspends UK-Israel trade negotiations and summons the Israeli ambassador over IDF actions in Gaza, which he says are "incompatible with the principles that underpin our bilateral relations" and an "affront to the values of the British people."

#Football / Are some European nations moving to ban Israeli sports teams?
As reported by Israeli right-wing populist Ynet, without disclosing sources, #Spain, Belgium and Scandinavian countries reportedly organizing to suspend #Israel from international sports competitions, similar to Russia/Belarus sanctions. Movement targets #FIFA, #UEFA, #FIBA and #Olympic federations following Spanish PM Sánchez calling Israel an "apartheid state" and French President Macron suggesting EU-Israel trade agreement review.
If implemented, Israeli teams would be barred from competing under national flag internationally. No confirmation from sports bodies yet.
»Yair Golan issues a scathing denunciation of the government and the war in Gaza, saying that Israel is killing children in Gaza “as a hobby.”
“Israel is on the way to becoming a pariah state, like South Africa was, if we don’t return to acting like a sane country,” the left-wing leader, a former IDF deputy chief of staff
“And a sane country does not fight against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not give itself the aim of expelling populations”« timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent…
Ergänzend damit kein falscher Eindruck ensteht: Golan ist alles andere als eine Friedenstaube. Er hat in d. Vergangenheit bereits sehr üble Sachen gesagt, etwa Hunger als Waffe befürwortet
>>Zunächst einmal müssen alle Grenzübergänge nach Gaza geschlossen werden. Ich denke, dass humanitäre Hilfe im Rahmen dieser Kampagne nicht zugelassen werden darf. Wir müssen ihnen sagen: Hört zu, bis sie freigelassen werden, werden wir sie verhungern lassen. Das ist völlig legitim<< www-ynet-co-il.translate.goog/…
Yair Golan hat für seine Aussage sehr viel Gegenwind bekommen, teils wüste Beschimpfungen und Diffammierungen.
Mittlerweile hat er einen längeren Post (Übersetzung siehe Screenshot, leider ohne Bildbeschreibung) verfasst, in dem er deutlich macht, dass er mit "tötet Kinder, und vertreibt die Bevölkerung" nur die Regierung meint, und nicht die israelische Armee, die diese Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit durchführt. Er wolle sie schützen, vor dieser Regierung.
Etwa das war leider auch das was bei ihm zu erwarten war.
Er hat spricht die israelische Armee frei davon Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit begangen zu haben, am Ende haben sie für ihn quasi nur Befehle befolgt, vielleicht ja noch nicht mal das.
Es ist eine Art der Kritik, die jede Selbstreflektion innerhalb der Armee, und jedes ethische Fundament innerhalb der Armee unmöglich macht, weil das eigene Handeln gar nicht reflektiert werden muss/soll.
Einfach zu sagen "alles nur die crazy Regierung" ist die billigste Art der Kritik, weil sie die Macht der Regierung unagetastet lässt, gar nicht mehr in Frage stellt, dass ein Großteil der Opposition alles im wesentlichen mitträgt, und all das was die Regierung will und tut nur möglich ist, weil sie eine komplett militarisierte Gesellschaft haben und ein Militär, dass Netanyahus macht ermöglicht. Jede Regierungskritik, die die Machtbasis - das Militär - nicht angreift - ist keine.

Doctors didn't question the Covid jabs, they were too busy pimping them. I, personally, don't give any of them a pass. Doctors are still jabbing pregnant women, babies, & giving 72 jabs to children from birth until adulthood.

Ferhat Kurtay, Eşref Anyık, Mahmut Zengin ve Necmi Öner: Kürt Ulusal Direnişinin 18 Mayıs’ı…
Elias Nin
12 Eylül Askeri Darbesini yapan Generallerin yegâne görevi Kürdistan’daki ulusal ve sınıfsal uyanışı ve Türkiye’deki sınıf mücadelesini boğmak değildi; düşüncenin de tasfiyesi planlanmıştı. Devrimcileri hapsetmek, ezmek, fiziki olarak ortadan kaldırmak bir çare değildi, bunu onlar da biliyordu. Kesin çözüm, ütopyayı ortadan kaldırmaktı, bu da ancak içeriden kuşatmayla mümkün olabilirdi. Bu bakımdan, bunun karşısında direnebilecek kadroların ezilmesi gerekiyordu. Mesela bu yapılmadan Öcalan yolu açılamaz, Kürdistan’ın Türkiyelileşmesi bir “siyasi zafer” olarak Kürtlere sunulamazdı. Diyarbakır 5 No’lu Cezaevi, tasfiye planının 1 numaralı merkeziydi. Tutsakların bu saldırılara karşı koyacak tek silahları vardı, çıplak bedenlerinde vücut bulmuş olan iradeleri. Onları acı ve ölümle tehdit eden düşman, ancak ölüm yenilgiye uğratılarak, bu silah düşmanın elinden alınarak yenilgiye uğratılabilirdi. Mazlum Doğan’ın kendi canına kıyması tam da buydu: O, düşmana şu mesajı vermişti:
“Beni ölümle korkutamazsın, senin elinden o silahı alıp seni silahsız bırakıyorum.”
Mazlum’un ölümü, tutsakları savunma hattından saldırı hattına taşımıştır; onun bayrağı Ferhat Kurtay, Eşref Anyık, Mahmut Zengin ve Necmi Öner tarafından devralındı: Onlar da bedenlerini ateşe vererek Mazlum Doğan’ın yaktığı ateşin alevlerinin bütün Kürdistan’a yayılmasını sağladılar. Tarih: 17 Mayıs 1982 idi. Hayri Durmuş, Kemal Pir, Akif Yılmaz ve Ali Çiçek ise açlıkla açlığı yendiler. Açlıktan bitap düşmüş bedenlerini düşmana siper ederek, Mazlum Doğan, Ferhat Kurtay ve yoldaşları tarafından kazanılan mevzide direndiler. Düşman bir kez yenilgiye uğratılmış, tutsaklar ve onların nezdinde Kürt ulusal direnişi teslim alınmamış, Kürdistan’ın üzerini kaplayan gri bulutlar dağılmaya başlamıştı. Ne var ki bu yeterli olmadı, dışarıdan kuşatan düşman yenilgiye uğratıldı ama düşmanın içeriden kuşatması önlenemedi ve bugünlere gelindi. Sonuç ne olursa olsun, Ferhat Kurtay ve yoldaşlarının yaktıkları ateş gelecek kuşaklara yol göstermeye devam edecek.

Just say no to SaaS, or Software as a Service, a cloud-based delivery model where users access software applications through the internet, typically on a subscription basis. You think it couldn't happen to you until one day through no fault of your own your cut off as these innocent Russians (please note the distinction, Russians, ordinary people, are NOT the government, of which the later is evil everywhere, be it the Russian government or some other government like that of the United States, or your local state or city government) found out the hard way:
SuperTux is NOT the best game ever. It's a generic Mario clone.
You don't need to go full freetard to have an enjoyable gaming experience without the SaaS dystopia getting in your way. Just play older games (either through original hardware of emulators), mods/hacks of existing games, or DRM-free games on sites like GOG or itch.io.
@xianc78 Well, it is a scroller game for sure, but those are a dime a dozen and not exclusive to Mario or Nintendo, but that said not sure it constitutes a clone. Still love the game independent of what anyone else thinks.
Most other platforming games at something to the table or do something different. Sonic has you run into enemies. Kirby has you swallow them and copy their abilities.
SuperTux IS a clone. Even the enemies in the game function the same as the ones from Mario, just with different appearances. It's not a bad game per se. I played it before and enjoyed it. But it feels like most of these libre games don't bring anything new to the table and there is no reason to play them unless you are committed to only using 100% free/libre software.
My main point was to bring up that you don't need to only play FOSS games to avoid the bad business practices of the modern AAA industry.
Hmm, true, you could just not play games too. Playing proprietary (I don't mean assets, just code) games is just wrong. So many better things you could be doing with your time. I'm far from anal when it comes software freedom, but I also don't make excuses for gaming companies. I was mostly OK with what ID did back in the day for example with many games like doom with the release of source code, but licensed the art assets. If you wanted the full game you paid for a copy. The software though you could install for free and the source for that matter.

#supertux A project that teases you with a cryptocurrency donation link, but then won't actually take your crypto. 🙁 Coinbase supports 5 wallets no one has ever heard of. You apparently can't actually send crypto of any kind to the project. It might be time to just post some IDK Bitcoin, Monero, Dash, Bitcoin Cash, and whatever other actual crypto QR codes instead of relying on an evil intermediary like Coinbase. And yea, Coinbase is truly evil.. They've done everything they possibly can to undermine the use of cryptocurrency as a currency. With their "wallet" they batch payments so if you try and pay a bill it doesn't send it till a while after the button is hit resulting in no payment received by the merchant. You meanwhile are stuck having lost the crypto, look stupid, AND probably will end up having to pay in some form of dirty fiat (government money, of which the benefit is your enabling governments to drop bombs on women and children overseas).
@xianc78 No idea. Do you mean self-hosted or self custody wallets? I wasn't aware of any countries banning self custody wallets other than maybe the stories that have come out saying china has banned bitcoin or crypto or something like that.
I think self custody is allowed and privacy coins aren't banned so much as exchanges and the like are being harassed and threatened into not supporting them. The later is certainly the case in the US.

1/2 Years ago I argued that the bogeyman of "grade inflation" rests on dubious evidence, faulty logic, and reactionary values: alfiekohn.org/article/dangerou…. Here's more recent testimony from an #ungrading teacher confirming that the problem isn't grade inflation; it's GRADES: hechingerreport.org/teachers-v…
2/2 Another teacher who was delighted & "energized" once "the blinders had been removed" & he stopped trying to tweak the WAY he graded students (forget "standards-based" or "contract" grading) & finally stopped grading altogether: gradingforgrowth.com/p/why-i-n…
From a professor friend: Most people who complain about grade inflation "are tchrs who get poor student evals.; they attribute others' high ratings to grade inflation & explain their own poor ratings by claiming it's b/c they're tough graders"
The Biden Energy Department blasted out billions of dollars to bolster the U.S. energy grid shortly before last fall's election without adequate financial controls and staffing to properly protect taxpayers, an internal investigation has found.
I've now had several clients come to me to take over projects that another agency was working on because the other agency started using generative AI. Apparently there was a real drop in product quality. I wonder why.
Basically vibe coding is making me money specifically because I'm not using it.
The Justice Department on Monday charged New Jersey Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver with assaulting and impeding law enforcement, for her actions during a protest outside a facility in Newark earlier this month.
“No one is above the law — politicians or otherwise,” Habba said. “It is the job of this office to uphold justice impartially, regardless of who you are.”
Several doctors seem to be part of the developing consensus that former President Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer likely began several years ago — in the midst of his presidency — raising further concerns about an administration that fought against transparency in the decision-making and health concerns of its chief executive.
The advanced prostate cancer Joe Biden has been diagnosed with often takes years to metastasize, making it “inconceivable” he did not have it while he was president.
Da ruft also ein Medium ein anderes Medium dazu auf, einem dort arbeitenden Journalisten die Kündigung nahe zu legen - ohne das hierfür auf inhaltlicher Ebene ausgeführt wird, welche konkreten Gründe wie bspw journalistisches Fehlverhalten so einen Schritt begründen sollten.
Was aber deutlich wird ist, dass nicht nur jede*r Bürger*in sich selbst ein Bild von der Arbeit des Journalisten Bax machen sollte.
Sondern dass diese mediale Markierung von der JA auch bei einer anderen Journalistin
Weshalb ist es wichtig, aus medienkritischer Sicht auf dieses Markierungs-Muster hinzuweisen?
Da nicht alle Menschen die redaktionelle Linie der Jüdischen Allgemeinen kennen und einschätzen können - bspw. im direkten Vergleich mit progressiven Medien wie u.a. @jewishcurrents, die anders finanziert und aufgestellt sind - kann eine angemessen medienkritische Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Form von Texten ausbleiben.
Journalistinnen und Journalisten können aufgrund der medialen Markierung und daraus resultierendem Druck von Medium und Publikum Belastungen ausgesetzt werden, die nicht in der Qualität ihrer Arbeit begründet sind.
An dieser Stelle sei nochmals verwiesen auf die folgende Prognose zum deutschen Nahost-Diskurs in Deutschland - sie stammt aus dem März dieses Jahres:

“An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but one which should not only be founded on true free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among general bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.”
~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President Notes on Va.

The genocide in Gaza is not an anomaly. It illustrates something fundamental about human nature and is a terrifying harbinger of where the world is headed.
Malcolm X: The Israeli Zionists are convinced they have successfully camouflaged their new kind of colonialism. Their colonialism appears to be more "benevolent," more "philanthropic," a system with which they rule simply by getting their potential victims to accept their friendly offers of economic "aid," and other tempting gifts, that they dangle in front of the newly-independent African nations, whose economies are experiencing great difficulties. During the 19th century, when the masses here in Africa were largely illiterate it was easy for European imperialists to rule them with "force and fear," but in this present era of enlightenment the African masses are awakening, and it is impossible to hold them in check now with the antiquated methods of the 19th century. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Really enjoying my time so far on Expedition 33. It's been a while since I had a game where I felt drawn to finish it as soon as I can. Very good stuff.

in reply to Cassidy James • • •Look, I *really like* the idea of machine learning and actually really want to use ML features that make my life easier/better. Autocorrect/keyboard suggestions? Yeah I’m a fan. Text to speech? Convenient and accessible! Stunning photos from a tiny sensor? Yes please! Categorizing my photos or extracting text from screenshots? Great, useful!
But I do not want to “chat” with an LLM, doubly so when every interaction is keylogged and then used to train more planet-burning BS-spewing.

in reply to Cassidy James • • •I don’t want a computer to pretend to “reason” when it literally can’t reason as well as my five year old—but it sounds sophisticated and smart, so it will trick people into thinking it can.
There are some features LLMs would probably be really good at and I don’t have anything against that, but the fact that the world’s largest corporations are all competing to out-market one another in this space means it’s largely all time-wasting nonsense.
