"Alberto" has been harvesting mushrooms at Monterey Mushrooms for almost a decade under a UFW contract. He says the union contracts guarantees workers many important things including paid vacation days and holidays like Christmas and New Years. #WeFeedYou

Holy crap what a stat

'Between 2001 and 2014, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost the US an estimated $1.5 trillion to $1.7 trillion in direct spending. Global AI spending, according to Gartner, is forecast to reach nearly $1.5 trillion this year, putting today's AI boom in the same cash-burning league as two major wars.'

Welp, my brother seems happy with the truly deranged pile of vinyl I've piled on him for Christmas so that's neat

Kent iemand een Edo of Guido die een rode vouwfiets heeft en met studenten werkt? Hij was op 28 oktober getuige van (en helper bij) een fietsongeluk vlakbij Amsterdam CS. Het slachtoffer van dat ongeluk zoekt hem.

海外ではクリスマスの翌日に「ボクシング・デー」という風習があるとか。「BOX」の意味で、贈り物の翌日というとブラックフライデーにも似てるなあと感じます。

Things can feel hopeless but this year, people fought back. Here's how the town of Ypsilanti, Michigan is taking on the construction of a 'high-performance computing facility' that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away.

good morning

Hi guys, just wanted to take a minute to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year, most of all good health! These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words to their friends and family, they just copy and paste some random message and send it on. So I just want to thank you and wish you a happy and fulfilling 2018 - you’re the best gymnastics group anyone could ask for. Helen x

Not today, Satan

i think systems literacy is one of the most undervalued, and because of that untaught, things in the american information environment. every day there's a flood of new events, new information, new interpretations. if you don't have a model for how the systems underlying society work then every new bit of info emerges spontaneously, causelessly, quickly disappears into void. the models of systems each of us carries through life are brittle and wobbly but without even that we're truly lost.

Besides the obvious objections, I find it deeply ironic that Claude Code would send me an email thanking me for my efforts towards simplicity in software.

PowerLattice is miniaturizing and repackaging high-voltage regulators to a 50 percent reduction in power consumption. “The closer you get to the processor, the less distance that the high current has to travel, and thus we can reduce the power loss.” https://spectrum.ieee.org/voltage-regulator?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

mnt touch reform (placeholder name) prototype which @theawesomerandomness put all her craft into making a reality that actually feels much nicer than it is allowed to feel (mostly pocket reform internals, and she designed the case in freecad and 3d printed and hand sculpted here. i wired up the touch overlay and hand made a button board for the side buttons).

My brain has lately been on a roll of forming malapropisms based on "like shooting fish in a barrel":

- There's plenty more fish in the barrel
- One bad fish spoils the barrel
- You can lead a fish to water but you can't make it barrel
- It's all fish under the barrel now

@FediTree hello!

Weihnachtlicher Spekulatiuskäsekuchen. Entschuldigt den Rand, ich war etwas schlampig heute.

Ist aber lecker.

Is anyone interested in a bunch of #EngelbertStrauss XL extra long cotton stretch t-shirts, mostly black: https://www.strauss.com/de/de/arbeitsshirts/e-s-t-shirt-cotton-stretch-long-fit-3102210-20121-1.html
I lost a ton of weight and don't need them any more.

I have maybe 30 of them. Some older, some newer, all in perfect to good condition and freshly washed. I could bring a bunch to #39c3. For free or just donate something to a good cause.

Only condition is that you should put them to good and sensible use, i.e. wear them.

Edit: XL, sorry!

My wife sure knows how to pick my Xmas presents!
