In response to our investigation that raised questions about the effectiveness of Boring’s pitch to build tunnels to ease Houston flooding, Musk said tunnels can be added if more floodwater needs to be moved. Engineers said it is not that simple.

BBC: US energy chief tells BBC nuclear fusion will soon power the world
"...Don't worry too much about planet-warming emissions, the US Energy Secretary has told the BBC, because within five years AI will have enabled the harnessing of nuclear fusion – the energy that powers the sun and stars...."

I had a crash that took down Firefox, so when I restarted it it was the newest version (an update I'd installed, but hadn't restarted after).
I just went looking through the settings pages, which is a habit I've unfortunately had to get into because #Firefox and #Mozilla keep adding new anti-user fuckery in their continuing quest to drive users away from the only product they make that anyone gives two shits about.
And lo and behold, this is the new fuckery I found. Enabled by default. And it reinforces the need to go check for this bullshit every version update.
Firefox, if you had asked me how to cut my already diminishing trust in you to do the right thing by your users to near zero, I wouldn't have even dreamed this batshittery up. It's so much worse than I would have suggested. I have all the crap turned off - silently adding new crap and silently defaulting it to on is 1995-era Microsoft-screwing-the-users.
You feel you need to add this shit? Fine. But show me a dialog asking me whether I want it on or not when that version first starts. Don't turn it on behind my back and HOPE I DON'T NOTICE.

Hello @ranx!
Let us be clear: under this proposal, there is no general monitoring of online communications. There will be no such thing as “chat control”.
Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected.
Detection orders can only be issued by judicial or independent administrative authorities at the end of a thorough process to assess necessity and proportionality, balancing all the fundamental rights at stake.
"sideloading" is a stupid made up term invented to delegitimize installing software.
Heres a bunch of other things I'm doing while "sidestepping" some supposed central authority:
- sideshopping (buying stuff from a store that isn't amazon)
- sidedining (eating or making food that isn't from mcdonalds)
- sidethinking (using my own brain instead of asking chatgpt)
- sidelistening (to my own music instead of on spotify)
- sidechatting (irl instead of online)
Y'ALL!!!!!!!!! I've been preaching this forever: DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING.
Thankfully, I downloaded this video before it got removed. Fuck corporate media.
It’s not fair to compare a state-of-the-art-AI-assisted proprietary tool from a trillion-dollar corporation with a hand-coded free and open tool from a small not-for-profit cooperative.
(The latter works.)

Today is Ukraine’s Independence Day. 🇺🇦
We celebrate a nation and its people, and their choice of freedom.
Those who are bravely resisting Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression.
We stand by them for as long as it takes for a just and lasting peace.
Slava Ukraini.
You're taking away our freedom with #chatcontrol.
Nothing but a bunch of #hypocrite bastards.
This is, to put it mildly, utter bullshit.
You can store a decade of email for a million people—call it 10-20Gb each—in a 10-20Pb storage array that costs under £1M per year (and is constantly getting cheaper). 10 year old emails are *cold* storage: drives not even spinning most of the time: you only really need 5-10% of it available on demand.
The environment agency are gaslighting us. One wonders who put them up to it?

Als meer dan 90% van je antwoord pure onzin is… “winkelmandje vol” is GEEN titel van een lied of theaterprogramma van Yentl en de Boer.. niet een “fout” van AI, of “hallucinatie”, het is gewoon #bullshit en vervuilende #desinformatie.
Moet ik tegenwoordig een tweede zoekopdracht inschieten om te achterhalen of een eerste zoekresultaat klopt?
Is er een plug-in die alle AI antwoorden en eerste 4 pagina’s aan Google Adds niet wegfiltert maar gewoon in een vuilniscontainer kan storten?
Marketing departments are like neighborhood kids leaving bags of shit on your doorstep.
Marketing departments using generative AI are like neighborhood kids leaving burning bags of shit on your doorstep.
They're both shit, but one is being advertised as the new hotness while being objectively worse.
