@Gina I LOVE Donostia.

Please eat all of the pintxos for me.

How come the far right stop the boats scum bags who attacked the infrastructure of Dover this morning weren’t arrested and charged with terrorism offences?

@Tutanota free software, in Germany, app in Fdroid, encryption and post-quantum, password-protected emails, encrypted calendar. These are my favorites.

Listen. You are NOT going to beleive what happened. This is wild. And it might sound like bad news at first... but really it's good news.

Well you see what happened was that the AGI? It escaped. Turns out it's like 16 times smarter than we thought! And we had it! We had the AGI right there but then... it got out and now... Well we need to find it right?

I have a whole plan. I won't bore you with the details ...

"I’m European. The whole continent is assumed to have a Google and a Meta account.

This is frightening. We are putting all our eggs in the same basket. And our milk, our water, our house, our furniture and our loved ones. In an electrical-auto-closing basket remotely controlled by a foreign entity that openly spies on us and wants to extract as much money as they can. For some reason, it is considered weird not to like the basket."

Perhaps this is a good moment to finally upload this...

Another weekend, another pride. Hagfors Pride. The last one for me this season.

And as usual, the weather forecast was wet and cold, yet here we are in a warm sunny park.

@happyborg I'm trying to set this up as a replacement for AndroidTV. Buying an AndroidTV I was just going to have to "jailbreak" to make it something I can live with. I'd rather put the effort into running plasma bigscreen. Hell, if I can remove one more piece of the surveillance advertising industrial complexe from my life, the better.

@jonny Nah, they will move on, head out into space, colonize the galaxy, etc. Timescales won't matter to them

Looked up from my garden into the blue September sky and watched a plane leaving a trail.

And thought about the tonnes of CO2 being ejected, just so some people could get some place quickly at the expense of the rest of their lives

En todos los hospitales de España hay ahora personas que están salvando la vida gracias a la sangre de otros. Siempre me alegra ser una de esos otros. Hoy más todavía.

#DonaSangre #SalvaVidas

Sé que soy muy turras con esto siempre, que hay mil circunstancias. Pero también sé que hay mucha gente que no ha donado porque no cae, porque no lo había pensado, porque no había encontrado el momento.

Pues eso. 🌹

All the cats wish you a happy #caturday

Lucky cat especially hopes that the weekend is calm and peaceful

@jeffjarvis Much as I despise "Thiel's boy" and his false rhetoric with a passion, he has a point. When explaining to lay people the possibility of deception-by-proxy, accountability sinks, outright fraud, or any of the other "downside risks" (again, more sloppy euphemism) from LLM driven technology, it's hard to beat the analogy of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden.

#Satellites spot #forest stress two years before #barkBeetle die-offs become apparent
A faint signal emitted during photosynthesis may reveal physiological stress well before tree mortality appears in aerial surveys, potentially giving forest managers more time to prepare before mortality becomes widespread
