Just imagine the mental state of those people following racist AI-slop accounts on fucking Facebook. How braindead do you have to be?

We’ll see more initiatives organized end-to-end by small groups of smart people, with virtual teams/coalitions forming to bypass “archaic” processes and deliver meaningful results. We’ll see a lot of sloppy failures along the way too, but the overall trend seems clear.

The thing is: It’s great to work in a small group of motivated smart people. But it’s really, really hard to hire a small motivated group of smart people and keep it motivated. And it’s even harder if you’re not located in one of those fancy towns where everyone wants to live or in a business that is really attractive. If your company is in a lesser known part of the country building important, but boring stuff, you will have to deal with not so smart and not so motivated people.

Stuff like this is banned in my country because it totally is not safe in traffic. Elect some not-crazy people, dear Americans, and they might give you sensible legislation.

The question here: Where are those people going? Are they finding other jobs in their field? Are they sill unemployed? Moved to other jobs outside of tech?

The problem in our situation right now is that diplomacy kind of failed and that we are dealing with bad faith actors and states who are not really trustworthy. We’ve seen Putin agreeing to the Minsk peace treaties while preparing for another big attack on Ukraine. We’ve seen the USA electing Trump and going batshit insane.

So two of the major powers have kind of abandoned the idea that diplomacy is worth anything. You can’t trust Putin, you can’t trust Trump. So you need to be able to defend yourself.

Google is also abusing its monopoly to push Chrome. They are sabotaging other browsers on their sites while showing Chrome ads.

Take a look at all those dashcam subreddits and Youtubes and you will see that dashcams can also be problematic. There are so many videos showing random persons doing something on the street or people having medical issues. And there are also those creepy stalker sexual harassment accounts who are filming women in public with their cams

I’m actually sure that this will change the practice. This basically means that every german can get a nice little rebate from their travel company if their hotel is not changing something. That means that every german travel company will pressure the hotels they are using to implement some kind of process to deal with those pesky lounge chair reservations.

That really is not looking good for Russia. It looks like they have lost important capabilities in their air defenses. We know that Ukraine is able to strike their refineries, and Russia does know that Ukraine wants to strike them. It would totally make sense for them to deploy air defense to protect such a strategic target as the Perm refinery.

So if Russia can’t defend their refineries, something is wrong with their air defenses. And if Ukraine can destroy the russian industry at will, Russia won’t be able to fight this war forever

Yeah - people love to shit on Mozilla while posting from fucking Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

The bad news is that this is a reaction to the recent incident where a Obsidian plugin contained malware and it became obvious that their plugin system is quite unsafe

It looks like there is a fan blowing the hot air away

That’s the neat thing about this: Since establishing the command structure requires everyone to agree, the bad actors can simply block everything until they get what they want. There’s no way that they would agree to such a command structure which avoids them

The USA used up a lot of their stockpiles in Iran. Bundeswehr wants to buy 400 missles which is more than the US produces in a year and the US did fire over 850 tomahawks on Iran:

Which means: There is no way that Trump will sell a yearly production run of Tomahawks to Germany before the US stockpiles are refilled. And that means that the Bundeswehr will not be getting their tomahawks in the next 5 years.

I like the idea, but if you think about it, it would take a major EU reform to work. In the current state with every country having its own veto an European army will not be able to be deployed anywhere. We had this one with Hungary being a Russian puppet under Orban. We didn’t manage to provide normal aid to Ukraine due to Orbans veto. An European army would face the same problems.

They are kind of public:

Tesla sold 20,237 Cybertrucks in 2025, down from 38,965 the previous year, according to figures from Kelley Blue Book’s annual electric vehicle (EV) sales reports.

That’s actually quite a strange location to find a ukrainian naval drone. Lefkada is on the west coast of Greece:

So they’re distributing their data center into various neighborhoods and therefore are leeching on power lines and everything else there. Kind of clever but also sneaky an slimy.

It depends on your jurisdiction, but it is a GDPR nightmare. There is a difference between exchanging public posts between instances and building political profiles with AI for individual users without their consent.

And that is also one of the reasons why it is so infuriating that modern linux based Android systems or Windows wants to steer you away from the filesystem.
