El único proyecto político que está ofreciendo a España la ultraderecha, y aquí ya entra el PP en toda su dimensión, es el de convertir ser mala persona en un valor social.

El sadopopulismo en su máxima extensión; que promete a los ciudadanos que su situación no va a mejorar pero al menos pueden ver a quienes odian sufrir más que ellos.

Ser una mierda de persona, en definitiva.

A pro tip to all Windows users out there.
Every time you're about to start using a new type of software, opt for a software that also works on Linux. Make that a new rule to live by, even if you're not currently thinking about switching to Linux.
Then also start looking for Linux-compatible alternatives to all software you currently use and slowly switch to them, if possible.
You'll thank me later.

Good morning to everyone, except billionaires who hoard wealth and power while the world drowns in growing inequality and climate chaos.

In #Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise.
Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.
That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.

Un biólogo estalla contra Dabiz Muñoz por presumir en su documental de consumir 5–6 kilos semanales de angulas, una especie en peligro crítico de extinción.
“Es una desfachatez. Nos las vamos a comer hasta que desaparezcan”.

Raphael van Lierop :

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what GenAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, because you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, and anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Bianca's answer :

Not just that but Tolkien also said: "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.".
Sound familiar ?

¿Tú quieres un Centro de Datos en tu patio trasero?

En un vídeo que se filtró, una abogada de Microsoft dijo la verdad que dicen a puerta cerrada y no en las ruedas de prensa: ellos tampoco lo querrían. Pero hay que presionar a las comunidades para que acepten.

Para conseguir los permisos de obra y operación. Pero una vez que funcionan no dan tantos trabajos.

Los comentarios fueron hechos por Lyndi Stone, asesora corporativa principal de Microsoft, quien habló en un seminario web organizado por el bufete de abogados Norton Rose Fulbright titulado “Centros de datos: construcción, contratos y deudas”.

por cierto, si ya el mundo #FelicitaciónDeNavidad fue siempre susceptible de casposidad, la invasión de tarjetitas hechas con LLMs es aún peor que aquellos años en que sobrevivimos a los emails con powerpoints inspiracionales o aquellos engendros animados en flash que dios confunda.
Ahora es aún peor: ya tengo la glucemia por las nubes con estas mierdas.

#felizNavIAd (jajajaa, no en serio, dejad de usar esas mierdas si queréis celebrar las fiestas, el soslticion, la newtonidad o lo que sea)

Excerpt from a book I'm reading, Slow Poison, by Mahmood Mamdani, father of Zorhan Mamdani.

"FBI agents knocked on
my door...they asked what I thought of Marx. I said I had
never met him. Not surprisingly, this Ugandan Muyindi had never heard of Karl
Marx. “He’s dead.”

I said, “I'm sorry, what happened?”

“No, he died long ago.”

I wondered why, then, the question. “Why, then, are you asking me?”
Later, I would remind myself: the FBI introduced me to Karl Marx! "

Big Tech is getting more and more involved in politics. During the last US election, Crypto bros spent more than $100 million on the election, which got some of them out of jail. Now Big Tech is active again, this time with focus on AI, as reported in this Washington Post article.

It is time to take a stand against companies that behave this way.

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

I am still confused by how in a modern OS I can't trivially limit how much CPU time, disk bandwidth and network bandwidth an app gets to use. It should be right there in the Task Manager. Like - that's the whole point of an OS - to manage that stuff. So why not let ME THE USER manage that stuff?
