My take? We're in for a wild ride of low quality software over the next couple of years.
It really doesn't matter if the agents are up to the task if the people driving them keep pretending their skills/experience aren't part of the equation.

"ICE Out of Our Faces Act" would ban ICE and CBP use of facial recognition
Senator: ICE and CBP "have built an arsenal of surveillance technologies."

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. #glassart

Hei! 👋🏻 I know a few of my followers are from or have lived in Norway 🇳🇴 - seeking your advice!
Curious if anyone has advice on how to find a new fastlege (primary care doctor). The one I was assigned upon moving here is very much not a fit. 😢 I'm looking at reviews on legelisten.no but curious if there are other things I should be looking at/for!
Keep asking. He’s unraveling over it.

Heya! 🥳 Super thrilled to announce XenoAtom.Terminal.UI is out in public preview: https://xenoatom.github.io/terminal/ 🚀
It's a modern, reactive retained-mode terminal UI framework for .NET - composable visuals, binding-first state updates, proper measure/arrange layout, and a fast cell-buffer renderer with alpha-blended theming (truecolor 🎨 terminals look gorgeous!).
Demos + docs are live - feedback welcome! 🙌
Thesis:
Bitcoin will not die from technology or regulation, but from the fact that AI consumes the same fuel while promising a higher return.
Or, more polemically:
Bitcoin burns electricity to cosplay as money.
AI burns electricity to generate power.

My fosdem talk is up!
I make a case for more platforms to support the ActivityPub client API, and how we should look beyond microblogging for future growth of the ‘verse

I also mention a bunch awesome Fediverse projects which have developed their own API, no shade on them, the spec imho is incredibly bare. I quote 
@GargronEugen Rochko on that one.
I end the talk with an invitation for devs and non-developers alike to submit some user-stories about what they would want from a general AP client
Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.

Rep. Robert Garcia shows how it's done.

Why did i forgot #mc ( #midnightcommander )? Such a great Tool if you have to deal with lots of unknown directory structures (aka ThirdParty archives) and need to move or mix and merge arbitrary filebases. Surely didnt used it since 10 Years but my fingers still know all the shortcuts and command keys. Crazy...

PSA: Daggerfall released closer to Minecraft than Minecraft's release is to today
These:
Bitcoin stirbt nicht an Technik oder Regulierung, sondern daran, dass KI denselben Brennstoff verbraucht und dafür eine höhere Rendite verspricht.
oder noch polemischer:
Bitcoin verbrennt Strom, um Geld zu simulieren. KI verbrennt Strom, um Macht zu erzeugen.
I'd appreciate someone with more knowledge about certificates checking if this is a good idea and if I did it correctly. It definitely fixes the issue.
