I am neither a geologist nor a glaciologist--though I am a climate scientist, and there likely is a climate change contribution to this disaster. Mountain glaciers are melting rapidly, & mountainsides buttressing them are destabilizing. But exact mechanisms here remain TBD.

"Hablar de contratos no es suficiente para entender qué es Palantir. Su tecnología fue usada en las operaciones de la Guerra de Ucrania y en el secuestro de Nicolás Maduro en Venezuela. Y también está apuntada por haber sido usada en el ataque a la escuela primaria Shajare Tayebé en Minab, al sur de Irán, el 28 de febrero de 2026, el primer día de la Guerra de Estados Unidos e Israel contra Irán. Ese día, según confirmó UNICEF, murieron al menos 168 personas, la gran mayoría niñas de entre 7 y 12 años. Por eso, cuando entrevistamos a Natalia Zuazo sobre el rol de Thiel en estos episodios, fue más contundente con su definición. Asesora de gobiernos y organizaciones internacionales en gobernanza de la IA, Zuazo no duda: “Thiel es un genocida”. "

@jwz I was surprised to see Derek Guy say that Musk knew how to wear a suit when it was the occasion

Mfs are so broken by the prestige treadmill they've forgotten the simple joy of "having an idea"

The government should never be in the business who gets to stay on air.

Not against Fox. Not against ABC. Not ever.

FPF’s Trevor Timm explains.

If you are interested to know more about Autistici Inventati, I can highly recommend their book
+KAOS: Ten Years of Hacking and Media Activism

It was translated to English by Institute for Network Cultures and is available for free as epub:

@jwz when Altman appeared before the frickin Senate he looked like his mum had dressed him, badly. This is a literal billionaire. Zuckerberg had a stupid haircut, but at least he spoke well and was dressed competently.

"The Server Called Paranoia: Defend Autistici/Inventati Before September 25"

Ein langer, ausführlicher, englischer Text zur Repression gegen das Tech-Kollektiv Autistici/Inventati durch das US-Regime.

Er erzählt spannend die Geschichte des Kollektivs: die technischen Anfänge, Indymedia Italien, den G8 Gipfel in Genua 2001 und vergangene Repressionen. Und, was er vor allen Dingen tut: Er gibt Einzelheiten zu den möglichen Auswirkungen der Repression und macht konkrete Vorschläge, was unsere solidarischen Antworten sein können.

✍️ AuguStory - The story of my blog

When Robert Birming, following Junited and JulyReply, called for contributions to AuguStory under the heading ‘The Story of your Blog‘, I thought to myself: If there’s one thing I can do, it’s write about my blog … but I found it much harder than I’d expected, simply because I’ve written about it so many times before.

The genre has a fat middle, it is true.

"Big Tech wants you to commit suicide so they don’t have to spend the money to kill you. They want you to forget everything you know about making a product, building an audience, and governing a state and trust that their metrics can help you do it better than them."

@happyborg This sounds like my note taking app, which I haven't officially "released" but is available here:

https://github.com/teleclimber/Illuminoted

Note it's a https://Dropserver.org app, not HA, so maybe DOA for you.

I use it all day every day for all my projects + anything else that comes up (peach harvest, car issues, etc..) I have several tens of thousands of notes in there.

Note that this is my personal thing so it has UX issues. It is what it is.

This is what, and all, it takes to be a designated terrorist organization anymore: being a “cadre of radical hackers and tech developers [that] provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools – to Marxist, anarchist, and other left-wing extremist groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere.”

NB: That’s just about every one of us on here, is it not? Incredible overreach, incredibly pernicious and incredibly dangerous.
