Importante. Parece que desde un sindicato mayoritario se está difundiendo información falsa sobre la huelga del 15 de octubre por Palestina.

Hay convocada huelga general de 24 horas en TODO EL ESTADO para el 15 de octubre convocada por varios sindicatos, es legal y CUALQUIERA puede hacerla.

No se va a desconvocar tampoco porque se sigue considerando más necesaria que nunca

Estoy en una asamblea por Palestina y nos lo cuentan compas de sindicatos

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out a fact sheet about them to a bunch of journalists, but very few are going to write about this. So, let me try posting it all here.

Here's what I know about Reflect Orbital and all the downsides:

Selling software (an open source os) in the age of AI to big corps is not an easy feat, btw. They like what we’ve done and want to learn from it, so the only option we seem to have is sell our experience so they can improve their own offering.

And guess what, when we put in the offer, it’s still valued against the lowest bidder rule. So we can’t even get paid right.

That shit bums me out, so I’m now pushing for us to make our own products and slay these old dragons once and for all.

Gazans are celebrating and rejoicing that Israel is "killing fewer of them" during the ceasefire announcement, and that a ceasefire is on the horizon!

But I remember last time this happened, when they were mocked and scorned then hundreds were killed DURING the ceasefire and thousands after.

My heart bleeds for them, and I so hope something, anything, can make this turn out differently than all the other times.

I'm convinced there are two powerful ways of having impact in the world, only one* of which gets recognized as such:

1 - WRITE STUFF DOWN
2 - PERSIST*

Si alguien quiere un buen ejemplo de porqué esto es importante, no tiene más que mirar lo que está pasando en EE.UU. con las aplicaciones que permiten a la gente monitorizar las más que abusivas acciones antiinmigración del ICE. El gobierno va exigiendo a Apple que las retire de su tienda, Apple las retira, y ahí se acaba todo.

En Android tal y como lo conocemos, se podrían seguir instalando sin mayor problema.

Vaya, que dice el Financial Times que el Fondo Monetario Internacional y el Banco de Inglaterra avisan de que puede haber una corrección "abrupta" (vamos, a lo bestia y a toda leche) del mercado de valores por la burbuja que se está montando con la IA.

No paran de avisar de que viene el lobo, y Caperucita y sus colegas papando moscas.

BREAKING: Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE

Nunca es mal momento para recordar que Android está a punto de eliminar la libertad de sus usuarios de instalar lo que les apetezca, acabando también en el proceso buena parte, si no todo, el software libre que queda en ese SO.

Y el principal motivo por el que nunca he querido nada con iOS (en iOS esa libertad nunca ha existido).

Mira yo no soy empresaurio pero no puede estar bien. Esto es más tiempo que el que tardó Odiseo en volver a Ítaca. Es más tiempo del que me queda pa jubilarme. Qué puta obsesión con guardar datos joder.

"Rupert Stanley Trimmingham (August 17, 1899 – May 9, 1985) was a corporal in the United States Army Corps of Engineers during World War II who is noted for writing a letter that was published in Yank, the Army Weekly that attracted wide attention to the plight of black American soldiers in World War II. It was an early step in the process that, along with other publicized outrages involving black American soldiers, eventually resulted in President Harry S. Truman issuing Executive Order 9981, which desegregated the United States armed forces."

@jalefkowit Well, today I learned about Isaac Woodard and that made my blood boil

the "vibe engineering" version of this — even in the fantasyland scenario where the tools work and produce correct results, somehow, even in the face of all the evidence that they don't — is that you establish a permanent unfixable dependency on *OpenAI's subscription services*, which are being subsidized in the model of the millennial lifestyle right now, but as soon as you have slipped your organization's neck fully into that pricing noose, it will tighten up real fast

@glyph I asked in a meeting a while back what the company model was if OpenAI started charging $200/month, and everyone looked at me as if that was impossible and crazy talk.

Now I'm having conversations about when the subscription fee is higher then paying for a junior developer. I wonder how many companies will be able to afford the skills they need to fix vibe code?
