Note: I wrote this poem a few days ago in the haiku style of poetry and published it for the first time, the 6th of August, 2025. All I will say is the carbon dioxide is part of Earths life cycle, without it all life on Earth will cease to exist. Perhaps now, you may better understand my poem.

NASA has selected six companies to produce studies focused on lower-cost ways to launch and deliver spacecraft of various sizes and forms to multiple, difficult-to-reach orbits. The firm-fixed-price awards comprise nine studies with a maximum total value of approximately $1.4 million. The awardees are: “With the increasing maturity of commercial space delivery capabilities, we’re asking […]

Since the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, US imperialism has driven nuclear proliferation worldwide. Current nuclear flashpoints, such as Iran, show how the US continues to use nuclear blackmail to reinforce its dominance.

They Jews had enslaved the German people and Germany was living in poverty due to the Jews. They have done the same thing to the rest of the world since then due to the central banking system. These Jews are NOT Semites, they are Khazarian. They are Jew by religion, not by blood. Jew is not a Race, it is a religion. This is where the Khazarian Mafia comes from.
"By 2030, fresh water demand is projected to outstrip the global water supply by nearly 56%, according to the World Resources Institute. At the same time, the growing development of artificial intelligence infrastructure—which depends on water for cooling systems and throughout its energy supply chain—is projected to consume 1.1 trillion to 1.7 trillion gallons of freshwater annually, roughly equivalent to the yearly water use of all households in California."

A lot of hand-wringing over RFK announcing they are winding down mRNA research funding.
What I'm noticing is that EVERY person who is outraged about this on X is some kind of research professor - in other words, they are simply worried about their grant funding, not the actual development of the technology.
I recently published a new extension for installing VSIX extensions from the VSCode Marketplace straight from any VSCodium based IDE that uses open-vsx.org for the extensions marketplace. Bear in mind that extensions like “ms-vscode.cpptools” won’t work anyway, since they are proprietary binaries that only work on MS VSCode. Other than that, any extension that is in the VSCode marketplace but not in open-vsx will be available for download.
You can find the extension from the extensions manager under “VSCode Marketplace Extensions Installer” or download the VSX file from open-vsx.org/extension/cooligu…
This extension is still very new, so expect some bugs here and there (especially when making very generic queries like “theme” instead of being specific like “One Dark”).
as your attorney I recommend finding better use cases than “you no longer have to experience the joy of artistic creation,” and “you won’t have to interact with your family at all” and “hate thinking for yourself? WELL,”
"Even before the AI boom, water industry professionals worried about the massive amounts of water data centers required for cooling and how that demand impacts water scarcity issues worldwide. The rise of AI is now making this worse. But the problem goes well beyond just consuming water for cooling. Challenges associated with wastewater, chip manufacturing, and even efforts to produce cleaner energy are all exacerbating AI’s water consumption problem."
There’s little doubt that AI is quickly becoming a powerful if not essential tool in our society. It’s being used to help boost efficiencies and productivity in myriad ways –– including for the research portion of this article.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday appointed eight new members to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which advises CDC on vaccines, two days after he fired all 17 members from the committee. Here's who's on the panel.
Cooling tech used in data centers are producing wastewater contaminated with dust, chemicals, and minerals. Chip manufacturing also generates wastewater, including heavy metals. This wastewater is toxic to the environment and can be difficult for municipal wastewater plants to treat and remove. Mining precious metals and rare earth elements required for semiconductors and other AI hardware also consumes and pollutes water resources. wateronline.com/doc/ai-s-water…

Europe’s first MetOp Second Generation, MetOp-SG-A1, weather satellite – which hosts Copernicus Sentinel-5 as part of its instrument package – is set for liftoff on an Ariane 6 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on 13 August 2025 at 02:37 CEST (12 August 21:37 Kourou time).
ESA’s Hera mission has captured images of asteroids (1126) Otero and (18805) Kellyday. Though distant and faint, the early observations serve as both a successful instrument test and a demonstration of agile spacecraft operations that could prove useful for planetary defence.
Hera is currently travelling through space on its way to a binary asteroid system. In 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft impacted the asteroid Dimorphos, changing its orbit around the larger asteroid Didymos. Now, Hera is returning to the system to help turn asteroid deflection into a reliable technique for planetary defence.
In a detailed social media post on Tuesday, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned that "Israel’s" standing in the United States “has never been so bad” and that it is increasingly viewed as a “leper state.”
He noted that “the Democratic party hasn’t been with us for some time” and added, “we’re also losing the Republican party, whose support for Israel could once be counted on,” while crediting US President Donald Trump with maintaining support for "Israel" during his term.
“Even those who have been our friends are having a hard time defending the State of Israel,” Bennett wrote, adding that “Israel is being seen more and more as a liability and burden on the USA and Americans.”
Bennett attributed the worsening situation to the current Israeli government, which he has long criticized. He accused it of pursuing a chaotic and self-defeating foreign policy and claimed it is causing “terrible damage” while still failing to grasp “the magnitude of the disaster.”
@GossiTheDog the biggest cooperations take bad decisions, with perhaps IBM in WWII as a similar example...
In the platform economy, it's hard to stay clean from others running software for purposes you would not agree with. But, taking on as a client the army of a country that is suspected of war crimes and has been summoned to stand trial at international court, that would be easy to avoid.
By choosing to take on these huge contracts, M$ has become a player in modern arms industry.
Let's not forget they killed the supposed "shooter" too over that. Someone died that day. Someone that was probably approached by someone in the Trump campaign and offered money if he'd go up onto a roof and aim an air rifile at Trump and pull the trigger. Someone who was probably told don't worry you'll be fine. That he'll be okay. Ignore the fact that he was a stupid son-of-a-bitch. But he still died that day. And Trump didn't. Because there was no bullet. It was all special effects. ---
Microsoft AI employee has interrupted Microsoft’s big 50th anniversary event to accuse Microsoft of using AI for war crimes by arming Israel. Powerful email included too.

Another protest at Microsoft Build about their involvement in targeting Palestinians caused the head of AI security to accidentally share customer Teams chats theverge.com/news/671373/micro…
Microsoft employees are reporting that emails that mention Palestine are being blocked. Microsoft has confirmed it has made some changes to its email systems.
“Words like ‘Israel’ or ‘P4lestine’ do not trigger such a block,”
Either someone's heart isn't in it or this is...not the most impressive...demonstration of Purview compliance solutions. Single character substitutions to get past the filter is so middle school I can feel the nostalgia.
Weird and not Microsoft like. They usually don't touch politics, just like refusing to include flag emojis on Windows to side-step possible geopolitical implications.
LinkedIn is such garbage. If someone asks for one I'm like "I don't have one" The gasps I look. Well? It's marketer bullshit, and we all know how I love that. *sharpens ice pick and goes to the liquor store for a chianti and fava beans*
After giving Elon Musk a platform at Build 2025, Microsoft has already adopted more of Mr. DOGE's playbook by censoring internal emails.
Yes, I know the corporation is not a democracy.
A Microsoft employee has bypassed the filtering of the words Palestine, Gaza or genocide to email thousands of employees theverge.com/microsoft/673568/…
First of all... WTF is M$ doing filtering user content? I'm so glad I don't use any of their products anymore. American tech oligarchs can fuck right off. I so hate this timeline. Stop the universe and let me off. This reminds me of my first time on a carnival roller-coaster (I think I was 7 or 8...) and feeling terrified and trapped, and screaming my lungs out.
this, this so much. Its either an admission that their own tools and recommendations dont work, tools they are selling to customers and customers rely on to keep their infrastructure and employees safe & secure, or its a lazy lie, trying to supress dissent & demonstrate control, not just prevent disruption. Either way doesnt look good...
FWIW, I see no indication that the Teams chats accidentally exposed at the Build event would’ve been labeled as containing customer confidential information.
I wish Microsoft with their ’security first’ mindset and infinite resources could develop and take into use technological means to label sensitive content and protect them.
Instead they use .. checks notes .. yes, Purview DLP to prevent people from expressing their displeasure at a genocide.
The most depressing thing about the TikTok videos of Microsoft employees protesting about the company’s involvement in supporting genocide is their colleagues, sat around them, laugh and tut at the colleagues protesting.
I don’t say this out of spite: we learned about this, in German war history: people prefer to look away. I understand, but I can’t - and that’s that. We’ll just have to see if we have a chance of turning things around.
they are a reflection of Microsoft’s leadership: total aimless psychopaths. There is a huge difference between being a passive coward and laughing at a humanitarian protest.
I never worked for MS but this was my general experience working in tech, too. World events would happen and the attitude was that it sucked, but was someone else’s problem and thus it’s not worth worrying about. I never worked with or for anyone who would directly participate in genocide (as far as I could tell at the time) either, mostly small businesses.
I hope they're picked up by a company with a conscience, if such a thing exists. That took guts. We need people who will call out their bosses on their bs.
Cowards. "I hear your protest", would have been to at the very least step in after the outburst and, respectfully, allowed for further discussion and debate at a later time, even if the employee still intended on leaving.
This just highlights that Microsoft suffers no ideologies other than "maximize shareholder value, regardless of the cost or consequences."
They are all the same. Hypocrite, greedy with almost no moral, but what to expect from a society that celebrates these values. Me first, I don’t care for others, never! Empathy is weakness. Isn’t this all what MAGA tells us?
So, any other outcome would have been a surprise. Brad Smith and Satja Nadella should stop their Sunday preaches and come to the clear facts. All we want is money! No questions asked, no morals, no friends.
what fucking asshole, hearing that, started BOOING
You want what’s wrong with tech, there it is. Faced with someone who is putting their medical care and access to food and housing on the line to protest war profiteering, someone starts booing because she interrupted a celebration to bring attention to it.
Wow, the flaky AI that Israel is using for picking targets is made by Microsoft? Why am I not surprised? I mean, I'm surprised neither that Microsoft would sell an AI that would result in murdering civilians, nor that it would suck so much at precise targeting...
Surprising it took this long for a Microsoft employee to realize they're a war profiteer, given the stories of Windows installs on Navy assets causing issues at-sea.
I guess the difference is "But these wars we don't like."
ETA: Oh, I see her specific comments now. Yes, this war she does not like (and for very good reasons!). But, I hate to tell her, her company has been war profiteering for decades before she joined it and was still the day she joined.
Maybe they should put that on the orientation copy.
It's sad to see people disrespecting the *employee* for doing something that took a lot of courage. She's going to be fired but she stood on principle. That takes courage that so many lack, to stand up, not knowing how that act will affect your future going forward, respect that.

I have never thought much of microsoft since learning about linux, but each year I learn microsoft is worse than I could have ever thought. Then again, this is a big tech issue for sure.
Let them continue to assume that the vitriol they are experiencing back home is nothing more than a "Democratic op". Shit, Democracts couldn't organize a PTA fundraiser for their child's school right now.

«Δυστυχώς, με τα σημερινά μισθώματα υπάρχει κόπωση στους ενοικιαστές. Πολλά διαμερίσματα μένουν ξενοίκιαστα, γι’ αυτό και καλούμε τους ιδιοκτήτες να ρίξουν τις τιμές, ώστε να νοικιαστούν και να έχουν απόδοση.
Νομίζω ότι έχουμε φτάσει στο “πικ” των ενοικίων. Δεν αντέχουν οι φοιτητές και οι οικογένειες άλλες αυξήσεις. Ελπίζουμε σε σταδιακή αποκλιμάκωση των τιμών από εδώ και πέρα»

σε κάποιες (πολλές) περιοχές, δυστυχώς, δεν υπάρχουν ούτε σπίτια, λόγω μετατροπής των περισσοτέρων σε airbnb. Ότι απομένει, ακόμη και κοτέτσι, η τιμή του εκτοξεύεται. Αν δεν αλλάξει κάτι, θα πεθάνουμε δουλεύοντας για να πληρώνουμε το ενοίκιο.
@giok ισχύει, εδώ πάντως είναι πολλά τα ξενοίκιαστα. Είναι περίεργη κατάσταση γιατί εμπλέκονται ιδιοκτήτες με δεκάδες ακίνητα που σκόπιμα δεν ρίχνουν τις τιμές. Προτιμούν να νοικιάζουν τα μισά σε ψηλές τιμές, παρά όλα σε χαμηλότερες. Χειραγωγούν την αγορά
