My (largely unresearched) concerns about SMRs is you can make the core small and modular, but all the shielding, containment, security, steam generation and cooling benefits from scale and is big for good reasons.

The local zoo proudly wants your face and voice biodata to issue an annual membership, "to prevent fraud."

You know clueless bumbling organizations all over the world are collecting such dangerous permanent data they don't need, often on kids, and then having it hacked. I worked with a religious org last month that was hacked. Same story. Don't do it. Any of it.

@kestral telnet FTW

I'd rather have some rando telling me about heat pumps than to keep being alive for this webminar.

I hate people.

Sonia Mabrouk reçoit Bruno Retailleau sur BFMTV de m.
Elle finit son entretien par :

"... et bien je pense ce soir comme vous, Mr Retailleau".

La vie ordinaire des médias bruns.

Nepal is paying a devastating price for a climate crisis it did little to create. A catastrophic flood triggered by a Himalayan glacier collapse has killed over 160 people(with hundreds still missing). This is the cruelest face of climate change -> the countries with fewer resources to protect themselves are often the ones hit hardest.
The question is no longer whether the poorest can afford to adapt. It's whether the rest of the world can afford to keep looking away. #Nepalfloods #ClimateCrisis

[REPOST] The Server Called Paranoia: Defend Autistici/Inventati Before September 25
Ripubblichiamo (in inglese) un bel post di Sabot Media che ripercorre la nostra storia e la collega a quanto sta avvenendo con la nostra iscrizione nella lista delle organizzazioni globali terroristiche da parte dell'amministrazione americana. Ringraziamo Sabot Media perché ha fatto un lavoro

@rebane2001 https://blog.google/security/advancing-protection-in-chrome-on/ attack surface reduction, apparently, and now they're doing it by default, which feels pretty wild

I guess it doesn't impact googles ideal user, who only goes to 2 websites which are both operated by google

@ErikUden Ach oh je, wieder ein Grüner der "aus Versehen" ins braune Töpfchen getreten ist. Das ist ja SOOO eine Überraschung! Tsk tsk... 🤷

@randahl another reason you can’t reason with authoritarians. They think they can threaten someone with execution for “romantic relations”

AFAIK, smart contracts didn’t work very well before LLMs. So that might be a smart move.

You enter the crime scene. It is a mess. Nothing is where it is supposed to be. In the room, you see what appear to be two or three Rube Goldberg machines. Two or three, because you cannot see where one starts and another ends; they seem intertwined somehow, but it is hard to tell how.

And it is hard to tell why.

Around the room, you find confusing comments. Verbosely written. Rewritten. Confused mess.

You realize: this is the work of the Stochastic Parrot. Your nemesis.

He has struck again.

Apparently DeathMetal.org is another bunch of racists associated with the metal community
I'm not surprised honestly

Edit: have a look at the entire thing. Classic bit of libertarian garbage

Trump's new claim that executive privilege should cover conversations with private advisers is legally baseless, politically self‑serving and dangerously designed to shield cronyism from congressional oversight. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/27/world/trumps-executive-privilege-expansion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #us #democrats #republicans

@informapirata @informatica è un azienda privata precedentemente public company comprata dall' uomo piu ricco del mondo.

Se la massa sta li, anche quella è stata comprata.

Attaccare X è una battaglia persa.
Sarebbe molto piu utile divulgare la differenza tra #activitypub e piattaforma chiusa: invitare personaggi noti che portano i loro follower ad utilizzare il fediverso @fedimedia

Non è distruggendo gli altri che si emerge, ma lavorando per migliorare e facendo conoscere @amministratore
