I think it looks nice.

Granted, Rutte is a sycophantic brown noser, but did he actually say that? I watched the whole ridiculous clip and didn’t notice that quote.

Or… (and bare with me here) generations of establishment parties doing fuck all for the people while burning the world, backing a genocide, and insisting that everything was fine because “line goes up”.

Support for Labour and the Conservatives fell apart when both parties decided that they didn’t care about the same things the electorate do. There’s no nuance missing. They gave up and expected us all to fall in line. We aren’t, and now they’re acting confused as to where their support went.

Says the dude who just cozied up to a country waging an illegal war.

You created a Maps key three years ago and embedded it in your website’s source code, exactly as Google instructed. Last month, a developer on your team enabled the Gemini API for an internal prototype. Your public Maps key is now a Gemini credential. Anyone who scrapes it can access your uploaded files, cached content, and rack up your AI bill. Nobody told you.

Yikes.

The Hatchet had a great piece on this the other day. The history of the Toronto police department is just insane.

This video is interesting, but a lot of his other videos make him look like a genocide apologist.

Buy two 4tb extern drives. Copy your photos onto both. Leave on at your mom’s house in a closet. Leave the other in a locker at work or a safety deposit box.

No monthly fees, no techbro cloud capitalists.

I caution against the enthusiasm here. As I understand it, the complaint wasn’t that Anthropic didn’t want to make autonomous weapons so much as that they wanted to retain control over the systems once they were sold to the government.

No reasonable government should allow corporate control over their military assets, and frankly, I trust Anthropic with control over weapons even less than I trust the Trump administration.

I’d say that it’s for a few reasons:

1. In this country’s broken electoral system, “tactical” voting is quite common. Until now, Labour has been heavily relying on the idea that they’ll be elected by default: the not-Conservative choice. When Reform ate the Tories’ lunch, they continued to push that they were “the only party that can beat Reform”. This result suggests that this reasoning no longer applies and indicates that Labour’s dominance as an alternative to the right-wing forces in the UK is ending.
2. By pushing the traditional parties into 3rd, 4th, and 5th place, this election may mark the end of these guys in favour of the new challenger parties that’re both advocating for more direct action to combat the problems we have.
3. Reform took 2nd, consuming the Tory vote almost entirely indicating that they’re the force to beat. This makes the revelations of #1 all the more relevant for those of us who think that Reform are dangerous fanatics.
4. The Greens are unabashedly socialists and this result indicates that their position is resonating with voters far more than Labour’s “Tory light” platform. When the “labour” party gets spanked by a party that’s advocating for wealth taxes, that’s a Big Deal™.

Well he used the word “antisemitic” to describe a party led by a Jew, so that was my first hint ;-)

That’s the really encouraging part of all this: Green is looking like the tactical choice now :-)

Don’t ruin this for me :-)

Yeah I realised that after watching the TLDR News coverage. I hadn’t seen the video myself obviously 'cause I don’t watch TV and don’t speak Urdu ;-) It was the fact that it felt like racist fear-mongering that made me jump to conclusions. Like, seriously, as a politician, you go to where the people are. If a large portion of your electorate speak a different language, you’d better figure out how to talk to them.

You posted a YouTube video from some rando account suggesting that it was posted by the newly-elected MP, and then copy/pasted some other rando’s lie-ridden opinion. Everything you’ve shared here is at best irrelevant, and at worst misinformation.

I get that you’re sad that Reform lost, but they’re the wrong path for this country. Maybe one day you’ll understand that. The Greens ran on a platform of hope and community over division and fear and I’m absolutely thrilled that they beat Reform so bad. It renews my faith in humanity that we can make good choices in the face of divisive, hateful demagogues and that’s just awesome.

I just think it’s hilarious that Labour has for years been leaning on this “the Greens split the vote” line. Now that the shoe’s on the other foot, I’m betting they feel differently.

Honestly, I’d buy 6 external 20tb drives and make 2 copies of your data on it (3 drives each) and then leave them somewhere-safe-but-not-at-home. If you have friends or family able to store them, that’d do, but also a safety deposit box is good.

If you want to make frequent updates to your backups, you could patch them into a Raspberry Pi and put it on Tailscale, then just rsync changes every regularly. Of course means that wherever youre storing the backup needs room for such a setup.

I often wonder why there isn’t a sort of collective backup sharing thing going on amongst self hosters. A sort of “I’ll host your backups if you host mine” sort of thing. Better than paying a cloud provider at any rate.

The Guardian has effectively got rid of 100 journalists. We actually leave the building next week. And shortly afterwards, it signed a syndication deal with OpenAI. Or as I think of it, it married its rapist

That’s from the tail end of Carole Cadwalladr’s recent TED talk called This is What A Digital Coup Looks Like.

Wait, what?
