Imagine walking up to someone 15 years ago and going
​​ "Hey, in the future Google will just flat out make shit up sometimes"
​​ "What"
​​ "Yeah, like there will be a time where you can search for a movie that doesn't exist, and it'll show you trailers, articles discussing it, who's directing it, interviews from the actors, and all of it will just be completely fake and presented as real"
​​ "What the hell are you talking about"
​​ "Yeah and it won't just be Google either, Microsoft and other big companies will be touting it as a revolution worth billions of dollars, as their products make shit up on the spot thousands of times a day"
​​ "Dude, are you high"
​​ "Entire product lines will be rebranded around their lightning fast make-shit-up technology, and they'll even try to sell this making shit up as a creativity tool for writers and artists"
​​ "Get the fuck away from me, I'm calling the police"

The all-sky camera consists of a ZWO ASI178MC color camera with a 2.5mm F/1.2 fish-eye lens. A small Raspberry Pi computer operates the camera and sets the exposure time and camera gain based on the sky brightness. It also controls a dew heater and a fan to prevent condensation on the acrylic dome.

BOOM! Excellent summation.

Guardian: “Covid surges across US after holidays amid low booster uptake”

“It’s still dangerous”

“About 5.3% of American adults reported having current long Covid symptoms when the CDC last conducted a survey…17.9% reported ever having long Covid”

Apple Intelligence is legit embarrassing

Stop with this "during the pandemic" bullshit. We're up to our eyeballs in #Covid and next our eyes will start bleeding because we've let the damn #H5N1 #BirdFlu go unchecked.

So that's how protogens looked like in the 90s...

Today in Labor History January 1, 1994: The Zapatista Army of National Liberation began twelve days of armed conflict in the Mexican state of Chiapas. The Zapatistas are a libertarian socialist political and militant group made up of mostly Indigenous People that now controls a substantial amount of territory in Chiapas. They have been nominally at war with the Mexican state since 1994. However, in recent years, they have focused more on civil than military resistance.

The UnitedHealth CEO was killed 30 days ago on December 4. Luigi Mangione is now on trial for that killing.

Since Dec 4, about 5589 Americans have died preventable deaths under America’s exploitative for profit health system.

So—when do the CEOs who knowingly enabled these deaths go on trial?

Tech is political.

You encode your values, your attitude and your bias into the code.

The tech you create can give you legitimacy. It can give you influence. Get rich enough (or start out rich enough) you get doors opened to you.

It's all power.

We can see what some people in tech do with that power.

We can however choose to not contribute to that enablement.

You're in FOSS you've made some sacrifices.

What's a little more?

I still cannot believe that the US dares to call itself civilized, and yet has no legal guarantee for a minimum of paid vacation days nor public health insurance. ​​
