@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt Has anyone stepped up I wonder to produce a sticker that can be placed on the door of an establishment indicating that it's a "safe space" (not just for trans patrons unfortunately because that might attract vandalism). Or maybe something akin to the "Green Book" that Blacks in the United States produced during the 1950s and 1960s to show which establishments in which cities were "safe spaces" when traveling? Not saying an actual book today but maybe an app on the phone maybe? Listing trans-safe bathrooms when out in public? Until the law can be changed maybe something like that can help.

The death and destruction brought on by the Iranian missile left Bnei Brak residents shocked. When they heard a resident was killed, some assumed it must have been a non-Jew
Source: Unleashed.news On Sunday, June 15, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the explosive claim on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier that Iran was behind the two assassination attempts on President Trump.
@ninafromcanadaehKind of weird how Drumpf's family matters, but when the rest of the feces-eating Democrats families are involved in shady shit, no one cares.
#Israel gets a lot of assistance from the Iranian opposition, including fabricating a narrative of imminent danger (which in Israel, even those who oppose the war sort of believed). But to “finish the job”, presumably a regime change in Iran, Israel needs the U.S. Which pretext is #Netanyahu going to come up with next?
Clearly, the #US and #Israel share intelligence on #Iran's nuclear program. Israel, or #Netanyahu rather, has been claiming for years that Iran is rapidly approaching nuclear weapon capability, requiring immediate action. The US intelligence assessments though have concluded that Iran is not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon.
[…] Israel has spoken for years about a "credible military threat," without which diplomacy with Iran would fail. It turns out that the military threat was not credible. Israel had power, but the Iranians did not believe in its existence or the American willingness to use it. June 13 is seemingly the opposite of October 7, because this time Israel surprised and attacked and was not surprised and defended, but the two polar military moves have a common denominator - the failure of deterrence, against both Hamas and Iran.
[…] Two days before the air strike that started the war, an event was held in Washington that could have awakened the #Tehran authorities from their complacency: the opposition organization #NCRI revealed in the media and sent to Trump and the #IAEA data on secret progress in the nuclear weapons channel, in a project called "Kabir." American intelligence has not yet addressed the veracity of the claims of those who long for the #Shah.
[analysis] Israel’s military dependence on US reaches new peak
Aluf Ben writes in #Haaretz that #Israel’s request for US B-2 bombers to destroy #Iran’s #Fordow nuclear facility marks unprecedented military dependence on the U.S., breaking Israel’s longstanding taboo against asking U.S. troops to participate in offensive operations.
[…] Trump will decide in the coming days whether to send the bombers to Fordow. In the absence of Iranian air defense, the mission is not particularly complex and according to publications in the U.S. press, it has also been practiced before. The facility cannot escape anyway, and its operators have received enough warning to shut down the machines and evacuate the workers. Trump’s deliberation stems from the political risk, not the military one: declaring war on a regional power that can disrupt global oil supplies and drag the U.S. into a third entanglement in the Middle East, after the wars in #Afghanistan and #Iraq, Iran’s close neighbors.
The underground facility requires “bunker-buster” bombs only US B-2s can deploy, revealing Israeli Air Force limitations. The request comes during Israel’s 21-month campaign that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, enabled by US diplomatic cover and weapons supplies. Ben argues that even if #Trump rejects the mission, the precedent shows Israel’s growing reliance on American military power beyond traditional defensive support.
עד היום התבטאה התמיכה האמריקאית בעיקר בהגנה על ישראל, ולא בסיוע במשימות תקיפה. אפילו אם יסרב לבסוף דונלד טראמפ לשלוח את מפציצי הבי-2 להשמיד את המתקן הגרעיני, הטאבו הישראלי על בקשת סיוע צבאי התקפי מארצות הברית נשבר
[analysis] Understanding Netanyahu’s sudden “[foreign] media blitz”
4 days into strikes on #Iran, #Netanyahu launched foreign media tour while boycotting Israeli press for 5 years (even after Oct 7th): Fox News interviewc, ABC, Iran Intl. His core message: “I understand ‘America First’, I don’t understand ‘America Dead’”
Shabi Gatenio writes in The Seventh Eye (Israel's only independent and investigative magazine) that Netanyahu’s campaign aims to push #US into direct military action against Iran - which may be essential for his political survival since he can’t deliver “total victory” without American bunker-buster bombs.
He also highlights suspicious social media activity which shows major follower spikes before Iran strikes, suggesting possible bot purchases.
Netanyahu’s messaging specifically targets Trump supporters opposed to foreign wars - revealing the depth of his strategic gamble.
[U.S. media echo chember] Leave it to the WSJ and U.S. media to spin Israel’s “missile shortages” into war justification
[…] Tom Karako from the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned that “Neither the U.S. nor the Israelis can continue to sit and intercept missiles all day” and emphasized the need for urgent action, stating they “cannot afford to sit and play catch.”
Israel’s the victim. As expected, U.S. media busy shaping public opinion toward supporting military action by presenting it as the most reasonable response to imaginary strategic challenges, caused by its own provocations.
[to US Congress in 2002]: “If you take out Saddam – Saddam’s regime – I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region.” c-span.org/program/house-commi…
The real “mad men” are those in power who repeat the same failed warmongering patterns without accountability. Post-9/11 wars killed over 4.5 million people (according to Brown University research). Those who championed these disasters face no consequences and continue advocating violence, while peace opponents are smeared as extremists.
[…] You may indeed feel like you are losing your mind. After all, Israel’s military has reportedly committed every war crime under the sun. It attacked Iran without evidence or provocation. The same cheerleaders for past bloodbaths strut around advocating yet more slaughter as though recent history never happened, while opponents of dropping bombs on terrified civilians are once more smeared as dangerous extremists. Yet western states issue a statement portraying the genocidal, expansionist, nuclear-armed Israeli state as the victim, and our government refuses to rule out military support for Tel Aviv.
The current #Iran situation follows identical logic: #Israel attacked Iran based on future nuclear threats (which US intelligence says don’t exist), while Israel actually possesses nuclear weapons and refuses inspections.
The #G7 calls Iran the source of regional instability despite Israel’s ongoing destruction of Gaza, West Bank occupation, and its leader facing war crimes charges.
And of course there’s the media. Western media devalues Iranian and Palestinian lives. For example, the #BBC coverage gave Israeli deaths 33 times more attention than Palestinian deaths.
Israel is the main source of terror and instability in the Middle East. But the west continually turns away from this reality, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones
For the record. The ghost of Colin Powell's UN presentation... in a way.
On February 5, 2003, Colin Powell stood before the UN Security Council with maps, photos, and intercepted communications, declaring these were "facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence" proving Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. Six weeks later, the Iraq invasion began based on this testimony. No WMDs were ever found, and Powell later admitted his speech was a "great intelligence failure" and permanent "blot" on his record. Twenty-one years later, Israel deploys strikingly similar rhetoric about Iran's "nuclear threat" to justify its strikes - same manufactured urgency, same unverified claims, same predictable script for war.
China has announced it will eliminate tariffs on all goods from African countries, significantly strengthening China-Africa trade relations and opening new opportunities for African exporters.
This decision comes as part of a broader strategic alignment with Africa, with China pledging to support key areas and enhance technical training and market access.

To protect its genocide in Palestine, Israel in 600 days has bombed Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran and the coast of Malta. "Israel has added Iranian children to the long list of children it kills" The press forgets to mention that Israel has over 200 nuclear warhead that it does not declare. Israeli is being used by the US to regime change Iran, for daring to be independent.

Netanyahu has craved this war with Iran for decades, always justifying his psychotic lust by way of endless lies and an apparently bottomless paranoia.

Considering putting out some #FediHire feelers. My current company seems to be turning more and more towards AI and my concerns are that this will be at the expense of stuff I want to focus on, like optimization, architecture and system work. I'd rather take this moment to grow my career towards what I originally imagined, biotechology, but honestly I'm open to any role that seems interesting and does good work.
I'm an excellent dev in Java, with significant experience in Go, Python and HTML5, and a degree in Bioinformatics from the medical research center at the local university hospital. Moreover, I'm really, really good at working in a team, especially asynchronously. I'm also looking to pivot from the role of a general lead developer into focussing more on backend, devops and security work

I know this probably comes up a lot and is liable to spark some debate, but I'm curious what the good options are for terminals. I've skimmed some reddit/lemmy posts about it and looked at a few options and I dunno how to decide between them because they all seem like they're too narrowly focused on some particular use case. I'm just using it for general terminal stuff, nothing terribly fancy. I'm aware that there's not one terminal to rule them all or anything, so I'm curious: what do you folks use, and more importantly, why do you use that over the (many) other options available?
Personally I've just been using konsole since it's what came with kde and it seems nice and all, but I feel like I'm missing out on features I don't even know about. One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such where i'm doing the tinkering instead of constantly tabbing out to duck.ai or w/e.
I use Xfce and Cinnamon, but I always install Gnome Terminal regardless (you don't need all of Gnome desktop to use it). The main reason I like Gnome Terminal is that it is very simple, and it lets you save your own terminal themes and switch between them from a context menu. Xfce terminal is nice and simple, but doesn't have this really handy theme switching feature.
That said, the terminal emulator I used most often is the Emacs built-in terminal emulator (term-mode), because it integrates flawlessly with other Emacs tools. But its rendering and theming isn't as nice as Gnome terminal, so I only recommend it if you are an Emacs user.
I like guake, or yakuake.. they are inspired by the console in Quake. F9 drops it down and hides it. Works for what i need it to. I'm just a guy who recently ditched windows, not a power user.
The one that comes with your DE is generally just fine, unless you're a serious terminal user.
One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such
I think that's a quick way to nuke your install, LLMs are generally wrong about what commands to run and don't understand enough to know when something is dangerous. All it takes is changing one wrong file and everything breaks.
I'm using st with tmux. It's in written in c, simple configuration can be done by editing the header file(s). More complex customization (such as visual bell or transparency) can be done via patch files.
Not the most beginner friendly terminal but super light weight and fast.
I was tinkering with ollama+deepseek and trying to integrate it into my bash functions, but gave up, because i could not supress that stupid "thinking..." prompt. Found it easyer to just have a browser window open (switching windows can become muscle memory in tiling wms like i3/sway or dwm).
If you want features, I suggest you try Kitty. It is probably the terminal with the most features. I personally prefer Alacritty because it is quite bare and doesn't have all that fancy stuff that I don't need (and that takes up cpu cycles).

Our children are just as precious as yours. They dream. They laugh. They cry when they’re hungry. They hide when bombs fall. And they deserve to live, too My family donations link:↘️ only link ↘️chuffed.org/project/mona...#Gaza #StopTheGenocide #SaveTheChildren
I am Mona Hijazi, a Palestinian mother of three children. From the depths of Gaza, from the depths of darkness, despair, hunger, fear and weakness, I tell you my story.
The components of a story are still: Who. What. Where. When. Why. How. As far as the Indian and foreigner problem, we have been shown the first 4 and the How but what is missing in the discussion is the Why part. Does anyone really think that Indians and foreigners are invading America on their own. They are being used as pawns for a bigger Who that needs a Why understanding. I believe that a common thread is the lack of a heritage European and Christian culture ethos which is despised and to be actively eliminated\eradicated. I heartily recommend reading or listening to the following 80 minute podcast reading to understand. It is in their own words. It will be the most enlightening hour that one spends this week. Without this knowledge, one has a huge blind spot through which anything can be and has been made to happen. Take it from the conspirators themselves to acquire Better Judgement. podchaser.com/podcasts/the-pet…
I believe that the reading was for subscribers but a second release came today which I have not heard so cannot comment. It is hard for people to believe that an oath to a position above family and everything else really occurs. In the Mafia it is called Omerta and they are serious. So was Skull and Bones and the other secret societies. No one can serve two masters which is why dual citizenship is a joke. podchaser.com/podcasts/the-pet…
I have a feeling that the Mafia were always zionist aligned.
That first reading was impressive enough for another listen. So many things just magically connected into place and none of it was complicated at all. Suddenly the entire backstory behind Israel became clear as day which for me is a first as trying to figure it out from other sources somehow always had me going around in circles.
so Starmer, Macron and Von Der Leyen defending the use of car bombs in crowded cities is a new development. Terrorism for Israel is not terrorism for humanity. #politics #spectacle …
The sharp uptick of crap flown around 2.6 piques my interest. As does someone's introduction of 'retard' into the vocabulary shortly prior. Must have been popcorn times.
He compartido esto en #Instagram (sí, sigo teniendo una cuenta ahí, la vida es complicada...) con algo de éxito, así que lo pongo por aquí por si a alguien le es útil. #Signal #WhatsApp #Meta #technofascism #fuckZuckerberg
Por qué dejar de usar WhatsApp y cuál es la alternativa
Meta ha anunciado que va a empezar a incluir anuncios en WhatsApp. Estarán personalizados con los datos que extraen de Instagram y Facebook. Por ahora, la publicidad aparecerá en los «estados» (esa especie de stories que no todo el mundo usa) y en los canales.
Solo un día después, algunes usuaries han recibido un mensaje dentro de la propia app que les pide su correo electrónico «para mayor seguridad». No hace falta ser muy lince para entender que ese interés repentino por tu seguridad tiene que ver con otra cosa: si les das tu email, les será más fácil saber quién eres en Instagram y/o Facebook (asumiendo que uses la misma dirección para loguearte allí) y podrán «personalizar» tus anuncios con toda la información que tienen de ti.
No es el primer movimiento desagradable de Meta para WhatsApp este año: hace poco agregaron un agente de IA (que se puede ocultar, pero no desactivar del todo). Esta función nos resta privacidad: si bien los mensajes que intercambias con otras personas en WhatsApp están cifrados de extremo a extremo (lo que significa que solo pueden leerlos las personas que conversan, para Meta son ilegibles), lo que le digas a la IA podrá ser analizado por Meta. Lo utilizan para entrenar esa IA y, en el futuro, probablemente, servirá para personalizar la publicidad que te muestran.
No es tampoco el segundo: Meta estrenó 2025 anunciando que dejaría de controlar las noticias falsas y los contenidos de odio, como expliqué en detalle, en un claro alineamiento con Trump.
La alternativa es fácil: vámonos a Signal
Signal es una aplicación de mensajería con funcionalidades muy similares a WhatsApp. Pero mejor: es respetuosa con la privacidad, es software libre, sus desarrolladores no tienen ánimo de lucro y prometen que no van a introducir IA ni anuncios. Cualquiera puede bajársela de su app store favorita y usarla con facilidad.
Yo entiendo que nos atrapen plataformas sociales tóxicas (como Instagram) porque en ellas está nuestra gente, o la información a la que queremos acceder… Pero en este caso la migración debería ser más factible porque tenemos un buen reemplazo. Te animo a hablar con les amigues con quienes tengas más contacto (quizá pasarles este texto ayude, para eso lo he escrito) para proponerles la mudanza. Probablemente no consigas convencer al 100%, pero todo lo que le arranquemos a Meta es positivo.
Preguntas frecuentes
¿De quién es Signal y por qué es seguro? Signal está promovido por una fundación cuyo cometido es proteger la libertad de expresión mediante comunicaciones seguras. Sobrevive gracias a donaciones y su presidenta es Meredith Whittaker, una activista contra el capitalismo de vigilancia que mola mucho. Es software libre, aka open source, que es ese tipo de software cuyo código se publica para que cualquiera pueda examinarlo y, por ejemplo, asegurar que no contiene funcionalidades ocultas para espiarnos. También se puede copiar y modificar para hacer otras versiones, con lo cual contribuyendo a Signal puedes estar contribuyendo a otras apps futuras que sean todavía mejores.
Pero Signal es una aplicación minoritaria. Bueno, no es la más usada, pero sí la recomendada por la Comisión Europea para todo su personal, y la que usa la CIA por considerarla especialmente segura. No estamos hablando de un proyecto underground para hackers, sino de una alternativa muy consolidada que tiene todas las papeletas para crecer mucho con cada medida impopular de WhatsApp.
¿Telegram no sería también una alternativa? Telegram es menos segura que WhatsApp y que Signal porque los mensajes no están encriptados por defecto. Pertenece a Pavel Durov, un CEO con todos los tics de tech bro y un historial dudoso. Durante un tiempo fue recomendada en entornos activistas porque, al estar fuera de la influencia de la UE (es rusa), no suele colaborar con la Policía. Esto también significa que aloja contenidos que podemos considerar, además de ilegales, muy poco éticos (porno infantil, nazismo, etc). Está introduciendo la publicidad e impulsando versiones de pago con funcionalidades extra (lo cual suele ser una camino para empeorar la experiencia de quienes no pagan). Por si fuera poco: a partir del 30 de junio, introducirán Grok, la IA de Elon Musk. A cambio de 300 millones de dólares, permitirán que esta IA pueda entrenarse con las interacciones de quienes la usan en Telegram.
En resumen: quizá quieras estar en Telegram por funcionalidades o usuaries que te interesan, pero que no sea por motivos éticos o políticos porque bajo esos criterios es basura.
Pero hay alternativas mejores que Signal… Depende lo que tengas en cuenta: si quieres una opción descentralizada/federada, sí, lashay (la descentralización es una gran ventaja técnica: en Signal no dejamos de depender de una sola entidad, por mucho que nos caigan súper bien y nos fiemos a tope, si nos lanzamos a la descentralización tenemos que molestarnos en establecer y configurar dónde se archivan nuestros datos, pero por supuesto tendremos mucho más control). Si lo que buscas es una app fácil de instalar y usar, para convencer a tus amigues no techies ni especialmente militantes de la seguridad informática de que den el salto, la mejor opción es Signal. Sin duda.
¿Pero esto es legal en la UE? Probablemente no: según la Ley de Mercados Digitales y el RGPD, no se pueden compartir datos entre aplicaciones aunque pertenezcan a una misma empresa. Aunque también es cierto que Meta está crecidita bajo el paraguas de Trump, que presiona a la UE para que no controle a las big tech (es uno de los argumentos de su guerra arancelaria), y que las represalias europeas siempre llegan tarde y en una magnitud mucho menor que los beneficios de este tipo de empresas. La organización de derechos digitales NOYB ya está quejándose. Veremos cómo evoluciona.
Si no comparto mi email, o si estoy en la UE y se hace cumplir la ley, ¿ya me libro de publicidad? No, porque, a menos que cambien de idea, la publicidad te la van a poner, otra cosa es que no vaya tan «personalizada». En todo caso, ten en cuenta que si ya le diste tu teléfono a Instagram o Facebook, ya pueden cruzarte con tu cuenta de WhatsApp, sin necesidad de email. Y además es probable que encuentren otras maneras de identificarte, como tu IP u otra información extraída de tu teléfono, porque tienen mucha creatividad para encontrar maneras de rastrearte, sean o no legales.
¿Más preguntas? ¿Ideas para convencer a gente o facilitar la migración? Por favor, deja un comentario o escríbeme (tienes mi contacto aquí) si te haces más preguntas, o si quieres compartir tu experiencia llevando a gente a Signal u otras alternativas.

@Aldo2 I haven't seen him calling to throw pedos into a woodchiper, but yeah yeah I get the point, lot of people who share his opinions would throw him into a woodchipper.
@Aldo2 maybe, but I mainly see the woodchipper posts from various trad or selfie in a truck accounts. I think it primarily reeks of low IQ, because they're rarely about actual pedophiles.
I dunno, I think some of them (Poast/Varis/Detroit) are at least over 20.
And they want to lower the AOC to 14, making them by legal and clinical definition a "MAP". While claiming that they aren't MAPS and saying that if you mutually and consensually sext with a 14 year old then you're an "abusing rapist" or whatever.
Like I said, projection.
Fuentesites (like Beardson Beardly, who is definitely over 25) argue that the AOC should be 10 following some obscure Catholic law.
Etc... etc... etc...
Point is, there's nothing inherently wrong with pedophilia, which I genuinely believe that more and more and more people are concluding.
There IS something wrong with being a "right-wing" schizo nutjob who wants to murder people at a peaceful protest (1st amendment) and then claim they were a victim of "Marxist AntiFa Islamist violent rioters" or whateverthefuck.
@Aldo2 Oh, I remember now. Fuentes did indeed say it's trad to marry children. Yeah, any groomer or woodchipper talk is projection from him/his simps.
MAP is a really retarded term and I think it is pushed with ulterior motives, because it's both a rebranding and it lumps together hebephilia and pedophilia, which are different degrees of bad.
There's obviously something wrong about being a rw schizo nutjob, but bad behaviors and traits tend to cluster ie it's not really shock that the schizo nutjob who tries getting into a "self defense" situation also likes kids.
if I told you that 20% of (mostly European) Australian men were at the very least MAPs (by definition, meaning they are attracted to people under the AOC, meaning "minors") what would you think?
Would you say 20% of the male population of Australia should be institutionalized, or would it cause some reflection and introspection?
This 20% is not based on political affiliation at all, and as we've just seen anyways, Australia voted for an anti-Trumper recently.
@Aldo2 I vaguely remember that survey, but I don't remember if they asked aoa. Like I said there's a difference between being attracted to prepubescent and pubescent features. While hebephilia seems to be to some extent a part of male sexuality, I see no reason why sexual attraction to someone unable to reproduce should be considered normal.
They asked men if they would have sex with a 14 year old, a 12 year old and a 10 year old, EVEN IF it was illegal ("if no one found out").
They also asked about sex with 15-18 year olds, and of course many men said "yes" to that, too.
In many European countries the AOC was like 12 in the 1970's, I don't know what you're on. This is just assuming everywhere has always been like America. News flash, Matrix, America is forcing this on everyone. This is not natural or normal. This is artificial. Japan only recently outlawed "CP" in 2014, after heavy American pressure.
The ability to reproduce is not an arbitrary thing that just "occurs" once you're over 12. "Early Bloomers" are a thing for one, and why do you again assume that having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex automatically entails wanting to "reproduce"? This is the same way as saying that "consent" is a thing that just magically happens at 16 or 18.
It was like on average 10% for wanting to have sex with a prepubescent, and around 20% when you factor in all "minors" (under 18, which is the AOC in Australia).
@Aldo2 I wanted to make a point but fell asleep midway lol. The point I wanted to make is that even though a large amount of people drive over the legal speed limit and that the speed limit and enforcement of it is to some extent arbitrary, it doesn't negate that driving at higher speeds is more dangerous.
I agree that Americans are retarded on sex (and other things) and push that retardation onto other places, but not everything they push is retarded. I don't know the history of AoC but I do know that around the 70s pedophilia was a social justice cause so how was it before that? and I also know that in the past in Europe, while you could marry children, that was primarily done by nobles for power reasons and the average age for marriage was early 20s.
>"relationship doesn't equal reproduction" No, but a sexual relationship does. Arousal is a feeling that we have to motivate reproduction. Being aroused by something/someone that can't reproduce isn't normal behavior.
Did the survey ask if the attraction is exclusive?
To answer your previous question about institutionalizing 20% of the population, no, just the ones who act. Men have quite a strong propensity towards violence and often have violent fantasies, but we only lock up those who act on it in (usually harmful) ways.
driving at higher speeds is more dangerous in certain specific circumstances, that is why you are allowed to drive at high speeds on the highway but not on regular pedestrian roads.
German Autobahn moment (no speed-limit).
In the 60s-70s it was a social justice issue (along with all types of other social justice causes) because of Conservative Christian Puritanism (CCP lol) being imposed on Europe (again, mostly from America and the United Kingdom) in the wake of WW2. In the Dutch case I was reading a study that pointed out the irony of the "sexual revolution" actually being led by religious figures who were tired of the religious moralistic dogma regarding sexuality.
It was done by nobles in like the 1700's haha, I'm talking about the 1900's. Slightly different times.
Yes, the average age of marriage was 20, that doesn't mean the AOC was 20.
> Being aroused by something/someone that can't reproduce isn't normal behavior
Why do you get "aroused" while looking at loli porn of "single-digits" then? That's pedophilia, but as you say you can't reproduce, so why are you "aroused"? There has to be another reason, and that reason is obviously just "pleasure". You like looking at the pictures because you get a boner and you like the feeling of cumming. That is normal. It's strange that you'd imply that it was abnormal. Even chimps jack off.
Linking arousal with reproduction is a Christian Puritan morality thing that is designed to limit sex and pleasure. "Don't spill your seed on the ground" - Genesis 38.
I think it implied that it was "non-exclusive", but that's neither here nor there, as I'm also "non-exclusive" (Danni Ashe is a goddess) yet I aknowledge my attractions in all cases.
> Just the ones who act.
In what way? You earlier implied that hebephilia is something most (i.e. over 10-20%, right?) men share. You link "action" with "violence", but as you and I both know, "consent" can be given below the official "age of consent", and often is (on the dl, "if no one found out"). Are you saying "statuatory rape" is as "violent" as actual rape? We all know that's false.
What are your views on the cases of female school-teachers being in totally consensual relations with their students? Are they "violent" for "acting" on their desires? Or is it different because they can get pregnant and therefore the Christian morality (this time centered on Patriarchy) checks out?
Had quite a few blackouts and brownouts here in #ABQ over the past couple days. It's only going to get worse for the next few months I'm afraid.
On Saturday we peaked at 106° where I'm at. Yesterday we peaked at 102°. Today is supposed to be a little cooler fortunately.
And people wonder why I've got so many UPSes!
(1) 20A for my desktop/ workstation (1) 15A for both of my NASes (1) 15A for my networking gear
I've got an automatic shut-off for my RV. When the voltage drops too low or gets too high it automatically kills power so some of these blackouts might be self-inflicted. Still, I'd much rather have no power than bad power.
Attending my first conference in a while, I’m tempted to do a quick presentation. Title: “Offsetting the societal and environmental costs of ChatGPT so that you can use it responsibly to power your next startup.” The slide: “You can’t.” Thank you for coming to my lightning talk.
For nvidia "data center brought in 14x as much revenue as the gaming segment last quarter": tomshardware.com/pc-components… 14-fucking-x. And I don't have hard data on this but I would bet that the GPUs in data centers spend much more time actually working, so the difference in energy use is much higher than that. It was not home gaming that made Google revert its sustainability goals: fortune.com/2024/07/10/ai-has-… Or undermine Microsoft's: sustainabilitymag.com/articles…
But hey, we're betting on AGI to jump out any day now to solve the climate crisis for us, right? Right after it answers Altman's question on how to make his company profitable: youtube.com/watch?v=gjQUCpeJG1… I don't know if this is the stupidest bubble ever, but it can't be far from the top.
What folks don’t get is that he said exactly what the VCs want to hear. If he’d said they had a revenue plan or — heaven forbid — a plan to become cashflow positive and/or profitable; they would all have pulled out immediately. That’s just not how things work in the Silicon Valley model. You grow. You dominate. You monopolise. Then you monetise. It’s a zero-sum game.
Even in SV most companies must present some semblance of a plan, at least by analogy to an already known model. But this is the moonshot of all moonshots so the normal rules don’t apply. And he said exactly what *he* needed to not be responsible for the losses when the bubble collapses.
