Metal Mutton 🤖🐏 @SteelWool@computerfairi.es

Can you imagine what the #Fediverse would look like now if the response to Gab had been "Admins don't need to block these instances, individual users can just choose whether or not to apply a user-level block (mute) themselves"?

And #Meta is even more corrosive than Gab. Gab users just posted a barrage of hate and unpleasantness. Meta is commercially incentivised to destroy what some people are inviting it to into.

Net Neutrality is restored:

"In a 3–2 vote, the FCC voted to restore Net Neutrality protections & reclassify high-speed-internet access services as telecom services subject to Title II of the Communications Act.

The decision is a major victory for the public interest: Title II authority empowers the FCC to hold companies: AT&T, Comcast, Spectrum... accountable for a wide range of harms to internet users across the US, fast, open +fair for all of us.”

My thoughts and prayers go out to #voyager1, which after journeying for half a century to reach interstellar space is still expected to answer fucking work emails

The one area in which the Biden administration continues to surpass my wildest expectations is in it's willingness to to go after abusive and anti competitive behavior in a way that hasn't been seen in decades.

Apple is cutting Vision Pro production as it fails to meet sales targets.

Analysts expected it to sell 700-800k units in 2024, but it could now be as low as 400k. A lower cost model could now be pushed beyond 2025, if it ever arrives.

“WSJ: The AI industry spent 17x more on Nvidia chips than it brought in in revenue”

This 17x number is just for chips so the actual cost x revenue multiplier is much higher in reality https://old.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1bs1ebl/wsj_the_ai_industry_spent_17x_more_on_nvidia/
