I wish the BBC would stop doing these tech ads as 'stories'
Isn't that sort of thing supposed to be forbidden at the BBC? But then the way they keep pushing 'smart speakers' suggests hawking tat nobody really asked for is how the Beeb is going to go now...

I still don't understand how Apple maintains any cultural cachet on the Left. They're so authoritatian. And they always have been -- right back to... well... 1984.
Their last genuinely good, liberating product was probably the Apple IIe. Even the classic Macintosh was a power grab, not power for the user. Their selling point is how locked down, polished, and impenetrable they are to the user.
But a lot of people seem to still think they're cool.

Now, I know precisely fuck all about international finance, AI, investment banking or any of that stuff, but I reckon if you were to draw a diagram of how CDOs were layered during the sub-prime crash and then shuffled back and forward across the markets to hide the colossal tsunami of debt that had been created, then applied it to AI companies, it would look something like this.

I was talking more about the shape of the bubble, so to speak, rather than the size.
Size... well, that's something we'll have to wait and see about.
Started the day getting stabbed in each arm to get my flu and covid jabs. I'm extremely proud of my brave wife @SaintlySin for doing the same in spite of being needle phobic, and continue to be cross at the government for restricting access to free jabs so we had to pay over Β£100 each to protect ourselves and those more vulnerable than us.
Vaccines save lives folks, get as many of them as you can.

Hey, @frameworkcomputer -- since you like big tents, you should also welcome krita, even if the maintainer is a trans woman.
After all, you use Krita in your 12 laptop page...
So, how about you start sponsoring us, too? I think that becoming a corporate sponsor would be great?

Today, Donald Trump and other officials from his administration held a panel fearmongering about "Antifa," featuring an array of far-right grifters who have made a living on rage-baiting.
One participant, Jack Posobiec, noted that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that the Trump administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.
They are attempting to demonize opposition to fascism because they wholeheartedly embrace fascism itself.

In other news, I'm collecting and posting #antifascist resources. You know why? Because antifascism is not illegal, and you need a lot more than an executive order to make it so.What I have now is geared toward students, but there is also more general information (click the link at the bottom of the page, then scroll to the bottom of that page). I did not do this myself--will tag others if asked.

N.b. this is not the title of a book, but a chapter of a book.
I've always thought the world of academic careers was a pyramid scheme, but perhaps "intellectual" "property" is the real pyramid scheme:
(Ten percent of those fees went to the
researchers who wrote the papers; since Dan aimed for an academic career, he could
hope that his own research papers, if frequently referenced, would bring in enough to
repay this loan.)

The author's inceldom is showing, though:
Dan concluded that he couldnβt simply lend Lissa his computer. But he couldnβt refuse to help her, because he loved her. Every chance to speak with her filled him with delight. And that she chose him to ask for help, that could mean she loved him too.

It was supposed to be your kids would provide for you when you are older, now with so many having to move back home, the process seems broken and heading towards it's end.
A very adult and contemporary horror.
After visiting the Global Sumud Flotilla captives in one of the most notorious Israeli prisons, Adalah Legal Counsel Lubna Tuma describes their mistreatment and denial of basic rights, treatment that reflects the wider system of abuse faced by Palestinian prisoners.
She reports that:
β’ Hearings began without legal counsel
β’ Activists were forced into painful positions for hours
β’ Food, water, and medical care were denied
β’ Women, especially those wearing hijab, were targeted with harsher treatment
This is not an isolated case, it exposes the same methods routinely used against Palestinians under occupation: humiliation, deprivation, and collective punishment.

For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again. burns-notice.ghost.io/we-cant-live...

On every interactive internet-connected device around the world, a question came up in the user's preferred language:
"Do you agree or disagree with the proposition that it is morally wrong to claim you can own the body of another sentient being?"
I'm really curious to see the result of that poll.

It's also about pets and farm animals. Veganism, and strictly speaking also about plants.
And what about abortion? From the perspective of an external observer, the woman, the embryo.
Perhaps I am mistaken, as English is not my native language, but to me, βsentientβ means βcapable of feelingβ.
Some examples:
Many flowers react to direct sunlight and βturnβ towards it.
Mimosas react to vibrations or touch.
Many plants react actively to insects, which significantly improves pollination.
Indeed, @JessTheUnstill.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentiencβ¦
Much more complicated than I thought.
Your βcapable of feelingβ definition of βsentientβ seems like the right one, though, @OhWeh. As another non-native speaker, I have to remind myself not to confuse this word with βconscienceβ or even βsapienceβ.
From other comments in the thread, I didn't take it as @OhWeh saying that embryos are or aren't sentient, or even necessarily that all sentient things are deserving of full equal rights that supercede those of the pregnant person. Many things are sentient, but we as a culture have decided they can be killed for a wide variety of reasons.

If Israelies (and Turks, and Hungarians and Americans...) don't lose their right to statehood by voting for dictators, then Palestinians needn't pass this same test that all of us failed before being allowed to exist outside of de facto statelessness.
And of course the "radicalism" these people want to exorcise from Palestinians isn't Islamicism but the desire for liberation itself. They want to brainwash them into acquiescing to their oppression.

in reply to Annika Backstrom • • •For my blog's media storage, I put files in a Syncthing directory that syncs up to my web server. For local development, I need /media to show the contents of this directory.
With Pelican, I had a docker-compose.yml that ran nginx and proxied /media/ requests to the live server.
With 11ty, I'm trying a shell script that backgrounds 11ty `--serve`, and a Caddy server to proxy 11ty and serve media from the filesystem, then issues `wait`. Seems like a really nice, less finicky setup.

in reply to Annika Backstrom • • •My blog taxonomy is such a mess. I guess "tags" are kinda special in 11ty, should I rename my existing tags to "topics" or something and use tags like 11ty intends? (e.g. for determining what is a "post")
Right now I have Categories (very broad, max 1 per post) and Tags (granular, many per post). I kinda like having both, even if my use of them has been inconsistent.
