TFM has talked about selling 'tasks' rather than hours to employers. They want everyone back in the office, so that they can ensure the sell hours model continues.
They are in general preparing to be self-sufficient. No dependency on foreign suppliers, no dependency on foreign customers. That way sanctions or blockades won't hurt them. I forgot what that plan was called, but the great chairman initiated it a while ago.

Microsoft president Brad Smith acknowledged that the four rounds of layoffs this year are more about using the money saved to fund AI data centers and GPUs than workers being replaced by AI.
I think this is important for the media to get right versus making it seem like ChatGPT can replace a human worker.
I just made a video about how I nebulize saline to manage bronchiectasis. I've never actually seen a video of someone doing all this stuff, so I made one myself! youtu.be/gRUAIu1nO1w?si=FdEZuf…

Every time after SCOTUS does something outrageous I try to think of something politically we can do to counter what they did. Today, I'm mindful that the Catholic Church is increasingly an important moral voice criticizing Trump's deportation regime.
FWIW, the Catholic Church is not my answer. But when I wanted to shame Mike Lee, I @ed the LDS President and now--surely not bc of me--the LDS Church is trying to figure out what to do about his fascism. On Schools, there's another answer. Which MIGHT involve the Catholic Church.
Another thing that I think we are LONG overdue at doing is politicizing PTAs. This just gave us the opportunity to do teach-ins at PTAs about what SCOTUS just stole from parents.
For all the copyright infringement perpetrated by the likes of OpenAI, MS, Apple, Google, misc nobodies, you’d think they would have made a product worth stealing (or using). They turned so much value into… nothing.
Fucking HILARIOUS to me when someone says "Well, I haven't paid attention to ANYTHING that wasn't force fed to me via corporate radio for more than a decade, but I am 100% sure no good music has come out in that time"
Never been a radio guy but I can say with some authority we are in the middle of a gods damned golden age of independent music. If you aren't finding new music you love, you aren't really trying.
True, but at times I still miss the days when people you meet could at least know the names of the artists you like 😅 Nowadays there's lots of great music, but everything's so fragmented — meeting people who like the same music outside of artists'/bands' fan spaces is great luck, nearly impossible!
One of the things I like is seaching my favourite bands with the keyword "reaction" on youtube. And then watch people loosing their shit when they listen to Orden Ogan for the first time. Or when they see Blind Guardian "The Bard Song" live for the first time. Or when they see Unleash the Archers play Awakening and shred a sick bass lick after a harmonizing guitar solo...
Ill say this . I just drove up to moms house to see how she and my sister were doing . They were fine just finished eating and getting ready to pray . Not because of the storm though ..something changed in my family especially my mom in the hospital . She says prayers and prays like bext level. Its a great thing to see but its next level. There was a time in t he hospital she was unresponsive to speach and yet she could recite her prayers like she was in private. Its amazing

WASHINGTON—In the latest of a series of escalations in President Donald Trump’s highly publicized war on “woke,” the U.S. Department of Justice reportedly removed all mentions of justice from its website Friday.
Farmers, #water managers, fishermen, river advocates, and everyday residents told me they would fight for their water to the very last drop. Others have already begun asking the existential question: Where will we go when the river runs dry? texasobserver.org/rio-conchos-…
The Trump regime is making it quite clear that they’re not interested in due process, or following the law in general. They just want to kick out as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, with absolutely zero oversight and opposition.
I know it was ages ago, but remember this? A bunch of these people are going to lose their healthcare. All of them are about to pay way more for groceries and other essentials, like the rest of us. They’ll have to reckon with a federal government deliberately stripped of its ability to protect us from mass infection and climate change.
And yet, they’re still with Trump, ride or die. Why? Because he’s giving them what they want. He’s making their ultra-racist, ultra-hateful wet dream come true, and they love him for it. It’s more than enough to make them overlook everything else. MAGA Republicans are assholes, but even they know how to play to their base.
Meanwhile, establishment Democrats think their base is the donor class, and keep pushing rightward in hopes of getting more of their money. Need proof? Chuck Schumer is at the Sun Valley billionaire summer camp, hobnobbing with them, instead of fighting for us.

I have dns-over-https proxies set up on my router, main one uses Hurricane Electric and the backup one — LibreDNS.gr It's presented as "normal" DNS server on port 53 UDP on local network. The router also does some caching. I don't have to rely neither on my ISP's DNS, nor on CloudFlare or Google — I really like this setup!
@romin@shitposter.world OpenWRT's default servers 😋 I probably should do something about it, but MITMing NTP makes little sense IMO without MITM'ing everything else. E.g. you have to intercept HTTPS traffic for the certs to expire to exploit it in any meaningful way, but that would be too noticeable and make all sorts of alarms go off. Am I wrong?
I believe that the best thing for humanity is to let these data centres get established, allow stupid people to become dependant on them and then disconnect the water.
In one of the most horrific examples of the siege and famine Israel is imposing on the Gaza Strip, a diabetic patient died in one of the displacement camps in central Gaza after his family was unable to find a single spoonful of sugar to save him from a sharp drop in his blood sugar level.
The tragedy began when 62-year-old Abu Mahmoud suddenly felt weak and began shaking inside the tent where he was staying with his grandchildren.
I'm definitely not "all in" on the new Commodore. I support what I believe they are trying to do, and I am cautiously optimistic based on the thinking on display in their initial product lineup. It's still entirely possible the whole thing goes belly up before it's fully born, of course, but I don't smell anything "scammy" on this one.

The condition of Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of north Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital who was abducted by Israeli forces at the end of last year, has continued to deteriorate, his lawyer said on 14 July.
Israeli authorities have prevented Abu Safia from access to desperately needed medication and treatment, particularly for his condition of irregular heartbeats.

AliExpress vendor selling very clearly fake GDDR3 ICs (wrong markings, wrong font, etching too deep/wide, manufacturer name literally missing off the picture, visible smudge marks from clone stamp tool) so for a laugh I messaged them.
"are these rebadged / re-labeled clones? for my application I need an original part with the correct speed grade."
"100% real 100% new parts old stock"
"so if I buy them and they're not real, I can leave a bad review?"
they really should just admit they're clones in the listing, there are tons of cases where a clone would be fine, this just isn't one of them 'cos it's running at the speed grade limit.

Yeah, still on track to sell about 1,000 units a day. If that trend continues, the run will sell out. Legitimately impressive if they pull that off, though I'd be surprised if it doesn't level off at some point before that.
I have what I'm calling "realistic expectations" for this particular product. I think it will be delivered, because it's all stuff that is in production now anyway and there's no point to taking money you'll just have to give back at the cost of your own reputation.
I think it'll be equivalent to a really good quality Ultimate 64, with nice mechanical keyboard. Other than that, it's just a good deal on what you get for the price, and a totally sensible first real product to get your company taken seriously.
It's not gonna change the world, it's not going to make the haters eat crow, but I think it'll be a product launch they pulled off, because they made sensible choices and reasonable promises.
And who knows, they might have something really cool in development, but nowhere near ready to show off. It's certainly possible -- there's real brainpower involved in this thing, not just a good showman and some pretty renders.
This is about how I feel about it, and I don't know what all the drama is. They took some existing, working products, plan to do some integration work, and are going to sell the package cheaper than you could buy the components, making up the difference (presumably, if they're good at what they do) in economies of scale. I don't necessarily want one, but it seems like a solid plan and a likely success, even if it turns into a one-hit wonder. (Which is OK, I think?)
@elb I think they're mad that Simpson might succeed, and make Commodore a going concern again. Not a big player, certainly, but with the investment as low as it is, they don't need to shake up the world to be a success.
I do anticipate there being some friction when the new Commodore International is forced to enforce their trademarks in order to keep them, but that's not new in the retrocomputing world, or for Commodore in particular, even. I will be interested to see how they navigate that, since one of the claimed goals is to license the Commodore name to people's individual retrocomputing projects, but in the meantime it's certainly not (to me) worse than some faceless corp.
For sure, but I think Simpson in particular will run into the (unfortunately common) issue that people think they "know him" because they've watched his YouTube videos, so they feel personally affronted when something he has isn't made available to them.
Maybe I'm overly cynical about that, but ... based on the second-hand griping I hear, I don't think so.
In the meantime, I haven't put up for one because I have several C64-compatible systems, but I watch with interest.
Perifractic's "content" style isn't my cup of tea, but I don't confuse that with animus, which seems to be a common malady in the online world. I hope it goes great for everyone involved. As I said before (not in so many words), if the only thing they ever ship is a good deal on a repro electrically-compatible C64, it feels like a win to me. If a C128 followed, even better!

“XAI expects to generate more than $13 billion in annual earnings by 2029, according to numbers revealed by its banker, Morgan Stanley, Bloomberg News reported in June.”
this would, I presume, be the same Morgan Stanley bankers who said that Twitter was absolutely worth $44B and that Melon was going to make it a $100B company inside of a year?
The segment of consumer-facing tech that knows you are leaving money on the table if you aren't hurting your users is already obsessed with DAUs; so you wouldn't even need to retool the existing documentation.
Well, two things. If Trump and the Republicans keeps up their current success with the economy then $13B in 2029 dollars will be about $3B in today’s money (the dollar lost around 15% of its value in the first six months of the current regime). If they accelerate (which looks likely, given their complete lack of understanding of how anything works), it could be much less.
Second, they’re selling to the US government, where Musk just fired everyone opposed to giving him money for things that don’t work. So it’s not like xAI actually needs to do anything valuable to be able to raise that revenue. If anything, that would make it worse, because then people would use it (which costs money to xAI), whereas if they just sign large contracts to provide a service that no one uses then revenue equals profit.
It's like the whole "features" list of this bot was sorted from least to most problematic. And Musk wonders why advertisers don't want to use his platform

#Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, announced that the US would impose “very severe tariffs” on #Russia if there was no peace deal with #Ukraine within 50 days.
These #tariffs may not be the “major” announcement on Russia that was expected, given that Trump is facing pressure at home & abroad to hit Russia economically, but announcing tariffs & a deadline is tougher than he has been in the past on punishing Russia for its invasion.
there's already sanctions on Russia. Do we even buy anything? Does does Russia sell anything to the US? Is there a market for any Russian goods over here??
#Trump describes the arms transaction largely as a business deal, & says the #UnitedStates will not be spending its own funds to support #Ukraine. And he puts it in political terms: “This is a Biden war, this is a Democrat war,” [which makes zero sense] he said, never once speaking about #Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine, or violations of #InternationalLaw. He acknowledges that the #Senate bill may give him powers he already has: “I’m not sure we need it,″ he said.
The threat of 100% #tariffs from #Trump is a different approach than the #sanctions package a #bipartisan group of more than 80 senators on Capitol Hill has been urging him to take. Their proposal seeks to target #Russia’s #economy with sanctions, but at a much higher level: 500% for countries that buy Russian #oil & #uranium.

Unfortunately, Washington Democrats who are desperate to change the media narrative after a brutal 2024 election loss have made it their mission to lie about this bill and mislead American families — especially on Medicaid program improvements.
Democrats claim the bill guts the program. But in reality, Republicans voted to protect and strengthen Medicaid for those who need it most.
Medicaid’s long-term stability is at risk. During the Obama administration, Democrats expanded Medicaid eligibility to include able-bodied adults — adding 20 million able-bodied people to the program rolls between 2013 and 2021.
