With travel and parties for holidays coming up, it's a good time to backup your devices, just in case they're lost/damaged/stolen.

This reminder is brought to you via an unlikely car explosion in a carpark also taking out my brother's car and laptop

Last night's #IgniteLiv was excellent, as ever. Eleven interesting 5-minute talks on topics ranging from life with palliative care; plans at Hilbre Island; to Roy Wood...

First one over the water in Birkenhead, and the first one at a venue with parking for your ship 🤣

@kappazeta bellissima grazie mille!

We can never know how that data is really processed by the servers, before being anonymized. Since Google is a closed-source and proprietary entity, there’s no way to find out either.

A complete nightmare for a company if found indulging in such practices, usually without even being fully aware of it.

@EUCommission like... a tram but worse?

Ich fand das @Gemueseturnir braucht mal eine visuelle Übersicht, jetzt wo es nicht mehr so viele sind

@bagder @FlippoFlip Wait, is curl.exe preinstalled on a ""clean"" windows install?

Man, there's so many ways to fuck up a Kubernetes cluster. It's kind of impressive, honestly.

Its a mental challenge to me

"Is the core idea salvageable and how"

That's such a more interesting group discussion than a book club discussing the best of Stephen King. Yeah that's good writing. What else is there to say?

@heiseonline Was für ein blöder Name. Aber macht nix, ich würde es eh nicht nutzen

the mad scientist exists as an anti-intellectual appeal, and as a hidden dilemma: what if discovery and innovation occurs through harm? the nazi medical experiments and unit 531 were not science. they were an excuse to use the tools scientists developed to enable unimaginable degrees of sadistic thrill seeking from the organizations we now agree are unilaterally evil. another example? the tuskegee syphilis experiments.

@catsalad today it is, yes.
Amazing that the username has 8 chars, dontchathink? 😉

OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates

https://www.ft.com/content/23e54a28-6f63-4533-ab96-3756d9c88bad

"Based on a total cumulative deal value of up to $1.8tn, OpenAI is heading for a data centre rental bill of about $620bn a year — though only a third of the contracted power is expected to be online by the end of this decade."

@TheBreadmonkey for $65k?

@Tusky hello amazing people! I really love using Tusky everyday (and I'm financing the initiative) but I'm more and more exposed to situations where the app freezes (often when switching between two streams of toots, from Notifications to the main Timeline for example). What can I do to help with this? Do you receive freeze reports?
