BBC News - Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland and authorises 'full force'

Having fun writing this morning.
There's some interesting stuff in here. One thing that comes across in lots of the comments is the stultifying pressure of everything always being recorded & posted. Everything you do or say could be in front of the whole world in minutes. Everyone is *one stage*, all the time. Who can breathe?

The US government has declared war on the United States.

Because they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.

The AI boom is showing concrete signs of a bust. The latest US Census Bureau survey reveals the largest drop in corporate AI adoption since tracking began, with usage among large firms falling from 14% to under 12%.
The core problem is a complete failure to monetize: 95% of companies using AI report it has generated zero new revenue.
Companies are now re-hiring human workers, signaling a realization that enterprise AI cannot yet deliver on its promises.

There are so many digital photos and bullshit AI images around these days that drawing is practically a radical act of resistance
This is happening in just 2 hours. I would love to see y’all there, if only as a show of support. I’m really excited for this project as something that could do good for the world and every bit of support helps.
Boosts welcome!!

Grml. Wondered why I don't get email in my imap subfolders on #android.
It was not my email server but this bug:

Finally found it and the documented workaround works 🎉
@leyrer that was "that" problem
제 뇌피셜이지만 내년부터 트럼프 임기말 + 다음 대통령 임기초까지는 계속해서 역성장으로 갈 가능성이 크다고 생각합니다... 역성장은 분명 일어날텐데 "얼마나" 뒤로 갈것인가 이 차이일것 같거든요 (..) 물론 이자율 낮추면서 버티려고 하겠지만 인플레이션 땜시 기존처럼 확 낮추긴 어려울듯...

AI 투자붐이 미국 경기를 간신히 지탱 중인데 도이치 뱅크에 따르면 빅테크의 데이터센터 투자가 없었으면 올해 경기 침체 근접했을 듯하다고 하는데... 지금은 이런식으로 GDP를 떠받침 중이나 이런 투자 증가세가 ‘포물선’으로 유지해야만 지속가능하고 즉 그럴 가능성은 낮다고 경고. 웃픈점은 실제 인공지능 발전 덕에 성장 기여가 이뤄지는것이 아니고 대부분이 공사와 인프라 같은 건설 단계에서 나온다고 즉 정작 AI 서비스 매출은 GDP에 의미 있는 증가를 이끌어내지 못함 🙃 www.techspot.com/news/109626-...
So…this is it. The end of everything as we know it. The escalation that we’ve feared.
“Full force.”
Portland is about to become ground zero for live rounds and the civil war between fascism and everything that is good.
I’m very, very frightened for what is upon us here. In my own backyard, where kids are playing and people are walking by the river. The propaganda is insanity.
💔😭
Y’all are good. It’s uplifting to see all of this support. It replaces some of my despair with some fight. Community is the best. 🫶🏻
Yesterday, an Audi driver thought I was going too slow (doing 105 km/h on a 100 road) and passed me on the right.
Today I read that Audi and BMW drivers are six times more likely to be involved in accidents, according to Swedish insurance data. No surprises there!
We are at least 60.000 people in front of the Brandenburg gate in Germany right now protesting for the freedom of Palestine, the end of Israeli occupation, ending the genocide and especially German complicity in it! Something like this would've been unthinkable, only a short time ago.
It's normal to be against genocide.
The democratic socialist party of Germany (Die Linke) is the only party present in the German Bundestag that helped organize and mobilize towards the anti-genocide protest in Germany. Amnesty International and very famous German musicians were here too! 
@vanakenJan van Aken & 
@inesschwerdtner 🚩
The police is now talking about 60k people having been present – organizers are talking about over 100k people. One way or the other, it was the largest protest regarding Palestine in the history of Germany.
It's normal to be against genocide.

"Technology ships the culture of its makers. When rejection calcifies into control and desire into domination, we get systems that watch instead of connect and score instead of care. That adolescent gaze becomes a design default. The same gaze runs through today’s product design."

你考上了大學，雖不是什麼特別好的大學，但你在這邊找到了志同道合的人，能談談自己主修，和同學一起做點什麼。
到了大三，市面上突然流行起「個人答題小精靈」。突然所有的新生都靠它考進來了，成績不重要，有小精靈就能上榜。電視上還有一些名師說，不買答題小精靈就沒法畢業，人生從此完蛋。
老爸老媽很著急，於是說服你買了個小精靈。你用了用，發現他雖然是個科技奇蹟，但也沒有名師說的那麼神。心想：既然大家都說它神，會不會是我打開的方式不對？是不是該在它身上澆點水？
現在同學和學弟都不太談主修，只講怎樣用小精靈。你的老師一邊警告大家不要讓小精靈代寫作業，一邊又要自己的小精靈幫忙出作業。
這是怎麼了？你問小精靈。它答道：要不要我幫你整理成一份寓言故事，讓你和同學分享？

Here's a wish I'd love for ActivityPub.
An interface that would let you have multiple columns and would let you have multiple accounts signed in.
Does something like this exist?
