Not a criminal? A fighter for Democracy in Hong Kong? Holder of a Master's Degree? Legally and faithfully following the asylum process?

Doesn't matter. No one - not Chao Zhou, not even citizens - are safe from Trump's masked Gestapo, just filling up the boxcars any way they can to meet Stephen Miller's quotas.

A new kind of war has just been normalised through global responses to Israeli aggression: threshold war, in which nuclear states conduct wars of aggression against almost-nuclear opponents out of fear that the latter will obtain weapons that reshape geopolitical power balances, while the potential targets of such aggression are incentivised to rush towards acquiring these weapons to avoid the very threat of such aggressive actions.

Also being normalised: attacks on nuclear facilities.

i am so embarrassed that i didn't know tons of our corporations got #reparations from #iraq no joke, at the 10-minute mark. but the whole video is good even though you've probably already the 1,000,000 reasons why this premise of this war is absurd.

If all of the third world died tomorrow, (a) nothing would be worse and (b) no one would notice.

A former National Intelligence Officer for Cyber under President Trump and Joe Biden has come forward with explosive allegations: the CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) deliberately buried evidence of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in the 2020 presidential election—and fired him when he refused to play along.

Dr. Murakami: We found that as the number of doses increases, the peak of deaths appears faster, meaning the more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period. So, the risk increases with more doses. If the vaccine had no toxicity or didn’t induce death, there wouldn’t be a peak. That’s the point.

La IA como compañera y herramienta de programación


Llevo unas semanas usando la IA como herramienta de programación en mis proyectos, he aprendido a manejar los agentes de IA que son un paso más en la evolución de la inteligencia artificial; parecidos al agente Smith de Matrix, los agentes son modelos de IA que pueden tomar decisiones por ellos mismos, evaluar resultados y actuar en consecuencia, llegando incluso a autocorregirse.

Con ayuda de los agentes se pueden crear proyectos de software desde cero con unas simples órdenes, basándonos en un código con buenas prácticas y/o seguridad. Algo a lo que creo que ningún programador llegará por muchos años de experiencia que tenga. El discurso negacionista de la IA se irá diluyendo conforme se adapten los trabajos a esta herramienta, o se corre el riesgo de ser un parado digital más.

Hoy han cambiado las políticas de uso de GitHub Copilot, y ya no será ilimitado como hasta ahora, todo lo bueno se acaba. Mientras tanto me ha dado tiempo a refactorizar proyectos, crear temas y plugins de wordpress, empezar nuevos proyectos como ringnet.cloud o comenzar a implementar un kernel desde cero en rust basado en Linux. Las posibilidades son infinitas si esta herramienta sabe usarse correctamente, no solo ahorrará trabajo sino que lo potenciará con una alta calidad y eso depende de nosotros. Saludos 👋

Two hundred and fifty years after the American Revolution began, we are again at war, and Los Angeles is ground zero. Thugs waving the Mexican flag is not just a case of ethnic Mexicans expressing pride at being Mexicans. It is a declaration of war — physical and metaphysical — against our country and everything she is and stands for.

i switched mobile carriers and the new one has a voice AI assistant. the voice AI was actually better than the human pajeet i talked to. the jeet was completely bullshitting me and just talking out their ass, had no idea how to configure the access point manually for their mobile service and just basically pretended to do some technical bull crap on their end, put me on hold a few times, then didn't solve my problem

the AI at least got me pointed in the right direction, even though it gave me bad info.

eventually i figured it out from their web docs.

i kept my last phone until i was absolutely forced to buy a new one due to obsolete radio frequencies that nobody supported anymore. the phone itself was still working fine, just network changes made it obsolete. kind of unfortunate. i like my current phone too and don't want to be forced to buy a new enshittified one with no headphone jack

I feel like we have to be able to separate artists' bad behavior from our evaluation of the quality of their work.

Maybe there's a time limit? Maybe they have to be dead so they can't benefit from their work being sold.

Are there any non problematic artists/creators from 500 years ago who we nevertheless find their work product valuable to society today? What about science? Especially medicine with all the body snatching.

Neil Gaiman is almost certainly a sex pest based on all the women reporting. So I get not wanting to give him money. He hopefully gets it, too.

I like the suggestion of piracy as an approach...

I genuinely do not understand people who have deep fried opinions about Signal needing a goddamn phone number in 2025.

Many privacy nerds were outraged when you needed to give out a phone number to other people in order to talk with them. I was one of those nerds. They fixed that with the usernames rollout.

As a mobile phone app, Signal uses your phone number to bootstrap your enrollment into the protocol. This is literally the path of least resistance as an SMS replacement app, for most users.

If you want to know whether Signal can obtain enough metadata to target users that have enrolled, the answer is complicated.

The way profiles are encrypted, and how sealed sender works, makes any targeting seem infeasible. (Your profile key rotates, at mininum, when you block someone.)

Signal currently does not have IP addresses, etc. stored. If this changes in the future, it will not be retroactive. If you're worried about that, Molly boasts Tor support. Maybe that's fine. I haven't audited Molly, and won't.

I'm on the side of the Iranians, I always side with anyone that goes up against Israel, even if it means Americans are going to get killed.
I don't care anymore about stupid brainwashed American morons, they have the internet in front of them, 24/7 and chose to look at porn and play video games instead of educating themselves. They deserve to die in the Middle Eastern meatgrinder.

Those who cheered on the latter murder should now be examining their consciences.

On top of all the barbarism that #Israel is engaging in in #Gaza and now in #Iran, here's some news that you don't hear about:

"Israeli occupation forces (#IOF) demolished multiple residential buildings on Tuesday in the Syrian town of Al-Hamidiyah, located in the northern countryside of #Quneitra near the occupied Golan Heights."

The fault of the residents is that their homes are close to a newly established military base.

"In general undocumented immigrants don’t take good jobs away from native-born Americans. By and large they take jobs the native-born don’t want or would only take at much higher wages. This means that immigrants are complements, not substitutes, for native workers. They increase, not reduce, native-born wages. And mass deportation, if it really gets going, will be an economic as well as a human catastrophe."

Gerald Ford was not on the '72 ticket, Spiro Agnew was. They got rid of Agnew first, and Ford replaced him. Then they got rid of Nixon, and Ford replaced him. Gerald Ford is the only President of the US to have never been elected.

His birth name was Leslie King. Which means, America's only unelected President was born a King.

And now a nuclear powered aircraft carrier named after him is mobilized to West Asia today.

What did Ford do to be honored with such a vessel? 🧐
