Well, since he always said he'd release his taxes after audits were done, I guess we can expect full disclosure, huh? Crook. This is authoritarian-level corruption. Cover it that way.

@JessTheUnstill I like your line of thinking!
@neil @JessTheUnstill I recall signing a petition to that effect a while back. The government's response was like, 'LOL, no. We would never interfere with a business to tell them what they can and can't do. Because DEMOCRACY!!' 🙄
New blog post: "Automating science"
https://blog.khinsen.net/posts/2026/05/19/automating-science.html
How much of scientific research can be automated? And is this a good idea?
I have been very tired in the past few days… not only physically, but emotionally as well. As a mother, I try to stay strong in front of my children, but the reality we are living in is harder than I can bear.
Until this moment, my family and I still need your support and donations. We have no source of income, my husband is ill, and my children are young and depend on me for everything.
Sometimes I feel helpless… but I still have hope in your kind hearts. You are my only hope

@blogdiva Once again for all the hackers in the room:
WE NEED TO HARD FORK ANDROID RIGHT GODDAMN NOW AND DE-GOOGLE THE ENTIRE FUCKING ECOSYSTEM OF IT.
I think this exists, possibly in the plural? I think the main obstacle is that users of existing hardware need to figure out how to root their devices (not always possible), and the Google version is still (as I understand it) lurking deep in the firmware.
(I am not an authoritative source on this, and could definitely be wrong about everything, possibly all the time*.)

@farah I love them. Every once in a while I'll buy a carton of the things from the US. Stupidly exxy to have them sent to Aus but sometimes you have to have some of the absurdly crispy cheesy things
@nicksilkey @thomasfuchs
I suggest that something else should be an industry movement to force the US government to enforce anti-competition laws against Google. And Meta. And Apple.
@bruce @nicksilkey you’re not wrong, but this is increasingly more unlikely to ever happen

@thomasfuchs what did they do this time
What if we thought about digital spaces like an ecologist?
We’d consider the incredible communities that come together over the interwebs – yes, even through social media – in a totally different way.

@shnizmuffin yeah I probably should have stressed that this is like watching The Room - you have to do it at least once, to understand how bad it is.
