While this article is indisputably true, it misses out the bigger picture. Since the 2019 general election Kier Starmer has led a right wing faction within the Labour Party. Starmerites recognized that the Tories had been taken over by their gibbering fringe, and they identified Conservativism as the fulcrum of British politics, so they are trying to supplant the Tory Party, much as the SNP supplanted Labour in Scotland.

This is a disaster for socially liberal Britain.

Kapitalismuswahrheit: Alles was du als Kunde selber machst, nimmt jemand anderem sein Einkommen weg. Ob du den Aufzug bedienst, das Auto in der Waschstraße selbst einsprühst, die Einkäufe selber scannst, die deinen Burger selber brätst (ja schon gesehen), die Kundenberatung in Userforen übernimmst etc etc. Und jedesmal schenkst du einem Arschloch, das lieber mehr Geld für sich haben will, anstatt seiner sozialen Verantwortung nachzukommen, ein klein wenig mehr.

Aber ich bin ja auch selbst schuld, ich bin ja derjenige der freiwillig zu McD geht und sich dann darüber beschwert wenn er dort über Assis stolpert.

I love the fedi only more for being the only place I know full of exasperated FORTRAN defenders. How can we insult the original word? Yea, when it was first written we were not yet even born! 🥰

Ich sehe keine Notwendigkeit, einen extra § im StGB einzuführen, der dann eine extra Strafe für Angriffe auf Politiker vorsieht. Zum einen gibt es genug §§, die als Handhabe gegen Gewalttäter zur Verfügung stehen (Nötigung, Körperverletzung, Beleidigung, üble Nachrede, ...).

Zum anderen sollte man aus der Vergangenheit eigentlich gelernt haben, dass solche Gesetze dann irgendwann als Mittel eingesetzt werden können, um eine legitime Opposition einzuschüchtern oder zu beseitigen.

those devs and tech “influencers” who pioneered the technical work of putting “AI” shit in everything everywhere, and are—for the most part—the assholes who enabled our brave new “AI” world by actually figuring out how to make it run, are also going to be the people who get credit for criticising it after the bubble pops, aren’t they?

Everybody will latch onto their vague concerns and ignore the fact that they literally implemented the shit that got smeared everywhere, aren’t they?

Memory errors in consumer devices such as PCs and phones are not something you hear much about, yet they are probably one of the most common ways these machines fail.

I'll use this thread to explain how this happens, how it affects you and what you can do about it. But I'll also talk about how the industry failed to address it and how we must force them to, for the sake of sustainability. 🧵 1/17

Can you answer this simple question about the C programming language?

$ cat test.c
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { printf("%d\n", strlen("\x01c")); }
$ cc test.c && ./a.out

What number does this program print?

When surveillance tech is marketed as jewelry:

"Tab is a small, circular pendant that hangs around your neck and listens to you and those around you."

"Rewind Pendant is a wearable that captures what you say and hear in the real world" (and makes it searchable with a "personalized AI")

"The Humane AI pin has indicated that the pin will have always-on listening capabilities."

Is this really the future most consumers want?
