@Sunny My point is that if someone is purporting to be breaking news, and that person isn't a reporter who's reporting the story themselves, that news is coming from somewhere else (or it's made up). People need to be able to distinguish where the information is coming from and what context lets them know that.
미국을 근데 어떤 단일 개체(?)로 보면 이해하기 어렵습니다 좀더 생각을 해볼 필요가 있는데 애시당초 미국내에서도 누가 그런 결정을 왜 내리는가?? 이 문제에 대해서 좀더 생각을 해볼 필요가 있지 않나 싶고요 좀더 깊게 생각해보면 왜 패권국들은 항상 그래왔나? 생각해보면 이해가 되는 경우가 꽤 있심다... 예전에 같이 일하던 랩 테크니션 한분이 자주 그런 말을 했는데 사람 제 각각은 나름 합리적인데 사람이 모이기 시작하면 두명 열명 백명 만명 백만명...등등 이상한 일이 자주 일어난다고;; ㅎㅎ...

Lost the last of our rescue battery hens today. RIP “Old Lady”, you were a year past expected lifespan and a complete freeloader for that time but you were an absolutely delightful personality.
"The ICT sector uses 12% of Switzerland’s electricity, according to the study, which considered all electronic devices for private and professional use (such as smartphones, tablets, laptops), as well as telecommunications networks and data centres in the country in 2024. The total electricity demand is just below the annual output of the Gösgen nuclear plant in western Switzerland."

On November 20th, women stop being paid compared to men.
This is the point in the year when,
on average,
women effectively work for free.
The gender pay gap is now 11.3%,
up from 10.7% last year.
It’s a stark reminder that while progress has been made,
gender pay inequality persists
- and may be higher than we thought.

Just finished a massive TRIM session. And for once, it had nothing to do with data storage.
It's a bad feeling when every general programming discussion venue you're in are now 80% discussions of how /not/ to program.
1. Read an article about AI (today it was https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-gas-town-4f25ee16dd04)
2. Start to spiral about the future of work
3. Remember there are still COBOL programmers supporting mainframes, so I'm guessing it'll all be ok

My little cousin asked for an Amazon Echo believing that she could ask it to play any song, she was disappointed in finding out she needs a subscription for that.
I’m considering to teach her how to maintain a digital music library on her phone she could then play on Echo trough Bluetooth but in the last years I had little experience with Android. I need recommendations on a good and ad-free music player app with easy library management and maybe a great looking UI too. Free and paid options are both good but subscriptions are a deal breaker.

empire
it is always annoying to argue against western imperialism because it is sugarcoated with "we're bringing Freedom and Democracy™ to these people" so i'm kinda glad the white house people just said "yeah we're gonna drill the shit out of the place for oil"
i no longer look like a conspiracy theorist which is nice, but the empire is gonna take a lot of lives as it is imploding in real time
what a fucked up way to start the new year, i am so tired of living through major historical events
hmmm, c'est possible que je sois un peu moins présente ou réactive sur les réseaux dans le futur, dans les réponses et mp etc...
jvais "bien" mais j'suis fatiguée irl et le social en ligne est un peu dur à gérer par moments
luv u all tho 🫶

@dotmeow.meow ∙ see ya around ^-^' . Was gonna do that earlier but it's been like 10 years since the last time I logged into Kickstarter, so I had to jump through a few hoops. Hopefully, they're successful but what should I do with my 25 domains?

Since invading another country is the "ultimate crime" under international law, I trust the US will be banned from all sporting competitions like Russia was, or do the rules not work like that?

something i dont think a lot of tech workers have figured out yet: the tech industry isn’t in the business of making tech products anymore. they’re a banking/advertising empire with tech as a front business.
working at a FAANG company used to be this impressive thing because these companies were ostensibly doing all the most exciting innovation and hiring all the best software people to make it happen.
i dunno if that was ever actually true but it certainly hasn’t been true for years. these companies are not doing anything impressive or innovative in tech, they’re solely in the business of making money.

Hello everyone I moved to a new self-hosted blog thing and here is my first post on why "PC Compatible" is a social construct https://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/blog/p/what-is-a-pc-compatible/
A freelance journalist friend of mine who writes about science and math has discovered that someone is using LLMs to impersonate him to try to get assignments.
Deeply creepy but also, um, being a freelance science journalist is about as lucrative as running a lemonade stand. Choice of scams here is woefully underthought.

Y’know, the recent discussion about the US world dominance relying on the petrodollar has me thinking: it sure is a coincidence that, since 2012, we’ve rocketed from one horrifically energy inefficient techno-fascist bubble to another without pause. Each outpacing renewables like clockwork
