#Russia “Kommersant” claims the US discussed using the #Zaporizhzhia #Nuclear Power Plant for #cryptocurrency mining and joint control without #Ukraine, allegedly with Putin’s knowledge.
That would set the record of the dumbest use of any source of electricity ever, but it also tells you a lot about the state of the minds of the Kremlin cronies.

There is a major difference between the left and the right. And journalists need to stop ‘both sidesing’ things.
Because no matter how much you disagree with the left’s policy proposals, none of them set out to hurt people.
After 63 years of life, I have come to realise the single distinguishing issue - equality, parity, fairness.
The right is allergic to equality. Someone’s gain is always their imagined loss.

Frage:
Wenn die Plastikteile eines Küchengeräts durch #Kurkuma verfärbt sind, wie kriegt man das schonend wieder weg?
Gibt es irgendwas, was man als nächstes in dem Gerät verarbeiten kann (Zitronen?), um die Verfärbung loszuwerden?
Irgendwelche Hausmittel?
We talk a lot about the culture of the fedi and hand wring a lot about how to get Black and Brown folks back here, but you know what could be a big step forward?
Normalizing the fulfillment of mutual aid.
The fedi’s rep isn’t great right now for a few reasons, but imagine if the fediverse specifically made it a point to start clearing every mutual aid effort it sees for marginalized groups and not just white guys.
It’s a small thing, but it’s something that separate this space from everywhere else.
Committing to that intention would get people’s attention.

I started messing with an implementation of a simple Fediverse server in Python last xmas and I wish I had this resource back then. I've been making some additions to my implementation this holiday as well and I'll probably write a few blog posts about it myself, but this resource is really great and covers most of what you need to know on this topic.

I often want to take screenshots of anime, but because of DRM, it’s frequently impossible to capture screenshots or still images. As a result, it feels difficult to grab even a single scene from an anime. I often wonder how everyone else manages to take pictures.
Conservatives have been trying to kill #humanities #education for decades--billionaires and other power-hungry people want a world filled with skilled technical workers who are unable to meaningfully assess, change, or even imagine realistic alternatives to the system that keeps the rich and powerful rich and powerful.
It has occurred to me that #philosophy, often a punching bag for right-wing influencers, is a key area: Right-wing populism (e.g., Trump) relies on fucking up epistemology for hundreds of millions of people. The last thing Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Trump, Putin, Erdogan, et al. want is for their supporters to actually learn how to evaluate sources of knowledge.

that‘s why they hype AI so much (amongst others). They think, they won‘t need educated workers anymore once AI does all the „thinking“. And it will never question their overlords, because it can‘t think.

Merry Christmas to everybody, except that dude who works for Elastic, who decided to drop an unauthenticated exploit for MongoDB on Christmas Day, that leaks memory and automates harvesting secrets (e.g. database passwords)
CVE-2025-14847 aka MongoBleed
Exp: https://github.com/joe-desimone/mongobleed/blob/main/mongobleed.py
This one is incredibly widely internet facing and will very likely see mass exploitation and impactful incidents
Impacts every MongoDB version going back a decade.

People are using Hank Green's AI water consumption video to dismiss concerns about AI water consumption.
Hanks video is terrible, by the way. It does nothing but encourage people to bicker over non-existent stats while AI companies continue to build data center kingdoms in poor communities.

Just saw an ad for Gemini AI where a couple ask the AI to arrange a tour of the museum they're in. How about read the signs and ask the staff to help find shit, and read the information boards next to the things to learn about them?
