Criticism of the exploitative tech industry and inane exploitative immigration system is valid. But I just can’t shake the gross feeling of how much of all of that is just objection of certain types of people supposedly ‘taking up’ the ‘good’ jobs.
It's not like jobs are some zero sum game of fruit that grows on the job tree. That's not how an economy works. People who work in a place live in the place which means they spend money to buy goods and services in that place which means that other people have to work to provide said goods and services in that place which means they have to live in the place ...
The reason people don't have jobs isn't because of immigrants. It's because of billionaires.
This is the most amazing mental gymnastics. The jobs aren’t “taken” by immigrants. The jobs are “given” to immigrants…by employers who want cheap labor. The idea that the person making the hiring decision is somehow blameless is ridiculous.
And for crying out loud all we have to do is let them be legal. Let them register with a tax ID and work and pay taxes. Citizenship is not the same thing as a legal right to work. Let them work. Give them a clear path to citizenship and let them live and work legally in the mean time.
I'm a retail warrior with nearly 40 years of work and applying ridiculous thousands of times to work, and not one single time in my life did a squirt of an inkling of a hint of blame or paranoia enter my mind about why my shit failed that involved anyone but myself.
I got to interview a guy who specifically applied with "white victim" as his personal story. Said his previous job fired him for being white. But I didn't get a vote in hiring. He still works for the vitamin vultures.
#CessationOfHostilities #Iran #Israel #US @palestine Trump announced a ceasefire. The ceasefire happened in his head. There have been no negotiations between the warring parties. At best, we could have a cessation of hostilities. Iran has made it clear that they have been attacked and therefore it is Israel that needs to stop attacking. If that happens, they'll stop too. They've been saying this for days Until Iran makes an official announcement, there is no ceasefire
"Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi denies any ceasefire agreement with "Israel," saying Iran’s military response continued until 4 a.m. and could resume if Israeli aggression persists" Again, if Israel stops attacking, Iran will too. This is a hell of a lot different from "ceasefire" Trump is not only a liar, he's a fucking moron. I'd stay away from Western media today.

Assimi Goita previously visited Russia in July 2023 for the Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg. The Malian and Russian presidents maintain regular phone contact — their last call took place in March.
It seems quite likely that Iran will now source nuclear weapons from its allies. “Sooner or later, the Israeli monopoly will be broken. First one hostile state will go nuclear, then a second hostile state, then a third. In the first half of the 21st century, the Middle East is bound to be nuclearised. The world’s first multi-rival nuclear arena might emerge in the world’s most unstable region.” archive.is/xHjrG @palestine
@Drop Bear I don't think so because it's allies are members of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and I believe they, unlike the US, largely honor treaties they sign.
However, I don't think the facilities were destroyed, they were simply buried too deep, and even if they were the engineering is not so they will recreate them.
We are not thankful to any bastard, we don't feel any relief because of the ceasefire between #israel #Iran AS LONG AS #Genocide continues in #Gaza and genocidal israeli/US/EU monsters, politicians, soldiers and supportive civilians do not pay the price for their nazi crimes

#Zionists have agreed to Trump's proposal for a ceasefire. And why not? With little or no anti-missile protection #Iran had the upper hand. Iran also struck just before the ceasefire announcement. Time for the Nazis to continue their #genocide unabated.
White House is pushing for the ceasefire agreement between #Zionists and #Iran. "Zionists agreed to a ceasefire if Iran does not resume its missile attacks" claims #US official
"#Zionists started the war against Iran, not the other way around," says Iranian foreign minister.

The more things I read about "the dark ages" the more radicalized I become. Like hey, did you know that slavery was abolished in Europe during the dark ages and in order for the merchant class to justify bringing it back they had to invent racism, thus kicking off colonialism?
Did you know that the transition from peasant life to wage labor was considered so obviously and immediately unpleasant and undesirable that it could only be enacted at gunpoint?
The standard demands for a peasant revolt for thousands of years of human history have been: erase all debts, destroy the records of their existence, and redistribute the land. Did you know that when you say "tax the rich" that you're asking for something half-assed and moderate in the grand scheme of history?
So much more becomes politically possible when you don't start from the premise that obviously you're so much better than those filthy peasants. Instead you can engage in intersectional solidarity not only across space and culture but also forward and backwards in time. As Walter Benjamin said: if the enemy wins not even the dead will be safe. We have tasted victory before and we will taste it again.

The time has come to reveal the "first light" images taken by the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, located in Cerro Pachón, Chile.
The images will be presented in a press conference today at 11:00 a.m. EDT (15:00 UTC), live-stream at youtube.com/watch?v=Zv22_Amsre…
Soon, the 8.4m telescope with its 3.2 gigapixel, 3.5° field of view, LSST Camera will start taking ultra-high-def images of the southern hemisphere sky for 10 years, covering the entire sky every few nights. rubinobservatory.org/ 1/n
Here are 3 "teaser" images posted by the Rubin Observatory team on BlueSky. These are small sections of the much larger 3.2 gigapixel images.
1 and 2. Sections of the Virgo Cluster, a group of galaxies 55 million light-years away. 3. Section of the Trifid and Lagoon nebula, 4,100 light years away.
Attached: 1 image
The largest camera ever built for astrophysics (3200-megapixels, >3000 kg) was installed this week at the Rubin Observatory at Cerro Pachón in Chile.
The Rubin Observatory generates an astronomical amount of data every night which is stored and processed in 3 main data centers located in the U.S., the U.K. and France.
Image size: 6.4 GB compressed Images per night: 2,000+ Data per night: 16 TB Raw data over 10 years: 50 PB Processed data over 10 years: 500 PB Image transfer time (from Chile to SLAC in CA): 7 seconds Transfer speed: ~7.3 Gbps Alerts per night: Up to 10 million
Images are transferred from the Rubin Observatory using "direct writes via the S3 API to an object store" at the US Data Facility at SLAC in CA and distributed to the UK and France sites.
Given the high bandwidth-delay product of the links between sites (~8 Gbps per image transfer * ~165 ms round trip time RTT = ~165 MB), transfers are done using specialized connection pooling/keep-alive code and TCP tuning (e.g., initial and max cwnd size, congestion control, ..).
Here is a low-res screen-cap from the press conference showing a large field of view of one of the first images from the Rubin Observatory. The highlighted area near the top-left represents the 2nd image in post #2 in this thread.
This annotated First Look image of the Virgo Cluster was captured by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. From sizable stars to sprawling galaxies, Rubin transforms seemingly empty pockets of space into glittering tapestries.
From distant stars and galaxies to asteroids whizzing through the Solar System, this next-generation facility unveils its first imagery and brings the night sky to life like never before
Check out this video depicting 2,104 never-before-seen asteroids discovered by the Rubin Observatory in about 10 hours of observations.
Seven of them are near-Earth asteroids, which fortunately pose no danger to Earth.
"Annually, about 20,000 asteroids are discovered in total by all other ground and space-based observatories. Rubin Observatory alone will discover millions of new asteroids within the first two years of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time."

The Observatory still hasn't answered my question about how much electric power will be consumed over the lifetime of the project, or how much carbon will be emitted to the atmosphere as a result.
It’s hard to overstate or even begin to list all the genuinely awful precedents set by Israel and the U.S.’s behavior vis à vis Iran in the latest war. But if we had to summarize it in one expression it’d be “maximum paranoia and secrecy is the only rational security strategy.”
Iran was paradoxically in many ways too transparent, reasonable and cooperative - accepting international monitoring that provided targeting intelligence, engaging in diplomatic processes that turned out to be elaborate traps and honoring agreements that were unilaterally abandoned.
In short, the key lesson for any reasonable third-party state is, paradoxically, be like North Korea.
The €2 Billion Microsoft Office Problem Just Got Worse: We’re Not Just Wasting Money, We’re Creating Security Disasters | by Markus Sandelin | Jun, 2025 | Medium
Someone needs to coordinate a military operation. Instead of using purpose-built operational planning systems, they create an Excel spreadsheet with unit locations, timing, and personnel assignments. They email this spreadsheet to 15 different national representatives for “coordination.” Each person makes changes, saves a new version, and emails it back.
Within 48 hours, there are 23 different versions of this file floating around on various government email servers, shared drives, and personal devices. Nobody knows which version is current. Half the recipients forward it to subordinates who “need to see this.” Some clever staff officer converts it to PowerPoint for a briefing.
Final result: Operational security details scattered across hundreds of endpoints with zero audit trail, no access controls beyond “has this person’s email address,” and absolutely no way to revoke access once the information is distributed.
This isn’t hypothetical. This is how NATO’s enterprise side operates when people need to actually get work done.
Remember when I told you the EU was wasting €2 billion annually on Microsoft Office for work that could be done with €3 web forms? Those document-driven workflows aren’t just financially stupid —…
I disagree with ‘tests of purity’ taken to the extreme. Of course a university will collaborate with a range of industries, usually with the aim of improving the way things are done. Universities support change in the world, sometimes incrementally, sometimes dramatically.

My dad’s a professor and I’ve been in academic environments my whole life and it’s pretty clear, at least from my experience, who’s holding the leash and who’s wearing the collar in the relationship between industry and academia.
(Which is sad because I still naively wish an academia removed from industry servitude existed as I’d love to be a part of it.)
* this is not to say folks don’t exist within this system that work against the grain of industry influence – often at odds with the goals of the institutions that work for.

The image depicts a coastal scene shrouded in a thick layer of smoke, likely from a wildfire. In the foreground, a calm body of water, possibly a lake or sea, is visible, with a sandy beach and some beach chairs and umbrellas lined up along the shore. The beach is bordered by trees and a few buildings, suggesting a developed area. The middle ground features a line of trees and buildings, partially obscured by the smoke. In the background, a mountain range is visible, with smoke billowing from the top, indicating the source of the fire. The sky is overcast, with a gradient of colors from light to dark, suggesting either dawn or dusk. The overall atmosphere is hazy and muted, with the smoke dominating the scene and reducing visibility.

Yes, every application has access to everything. The only exception are those weird apps that use the universal framework or whatever that thing is called, those need to ask for permissions. But most of the apps on your PC have full access to everything.
And Windows does collect and upload a lot of personal information and they could easily upload everything on your system. The same of course applies for the apps as well, they have access to everything except privileged folders (those usually don’t contain your personal data, but system files).
