Quick question, honest question......
At what point are the right happy?
Because the left will be happy when everybody has equal rights, and a high standard of living for everyone.
So, if that's the lefts benchmark of a great society, what's the right fighting towards? Money? Power? Control?
Then what?
When is America "great again"?
Because they've been pushing that slogan since the 80s. What's the endgame here?
Because from where I'm sitting, there is no endgame. Nothing will ever make them happy. Nothing will ever be good enough. So what the fuck is the point?
Holy shit. I'm bad at telling if AI is obvious sometimes. Is this real? It has swastikas (obviously) but it also has the american flag.
Is this 1930s? Or 2020s?
God. The fact I even have to ask is in itself a reflection of where we are as a society I guess.
NS Fascism had several ties to the USA, not least Hitler himself admiring and copying tons of ideas. Esp. their Eugenics movement.
So, what I mean is common roots before 1933 and initially strong support after he got to power.
I'd like to back this up with a suitable article but I can't find one rn.
Your's is the typical defense of genocide-enabling Zionists and their allies from feddit.org in defense of Isn'treal: "The Holocaust was different! How dare you compare it to the Armenian genocide, or the Rohingya genocide or what is happening today in Gaza?"
A genocide is a genocide. It already implies mass.
Genocide was coined to mean, and is generally used in law to mean, the destruction of an ethnic group as such (as a group). This is the case whether it is done by killing of all members of the group or other means, such as dispersing the group. In common usage, genocide is often used to mean “systematic mass killing”, whether or not the purpose is the destruction of a group or something else, such as terrorizing the group or killing a population without regard to group membership, more specifically known as democide.
And your the one only seeing things in black and white so hard you're not able to see out of your basement.
Can't have a bigger or more important genocide than yours eh.
The murder was atrocious. You: Nooo all murders means the same thing!!!!

Trump points to Louisiana as global artificial intelligence hub with Meta data center
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/44975715
President Donald Trump and Gov. Jeff Landry said Meta's massive northeastern Louisiana project in Richland Parish will make the state the hub for artificial intelligence with a data center the size of Manhattan.During a cabinet meeting this week, Trump said Meta, the parent company of Facebook, will expand its initial $10 billion investment to $50 billion.
Trump displayed a piece of paper he said was given to him by Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg that showed the center superimposed over Manhattan, covering most of the New York island.
"When they said '$50 billion for a plant,' I said, 'What the hell kind of a plant is that?'" Trump said. "But when you look at this, you understand why it's $50 billion."
Landry responded to the president on X with the following post:
"It is vital for American ingenuity and national security that we lead in AI development. As President @realDonaldTrump displayed during (the) cabinet meeting, the size of the Meta AI Data Center being built in Richland Parish is nearly the size of Manhattan. Louisiana isn’t just a participant in the AI race, we are leading it!"
Richland Parish Chamber of Commerce founder Scott Franklin said the project is transformation for the region and state.
"The president’s statement is proof that the Richland Parish Data Center will lead the world in AI technology," Franklin told USA Today Network. "This project will completely transform the regional economy and Meta will pay close to a billion dollars in property taxes over the life of the project. These taxes stay right here in Richland Parish. New hospitals, funding for better education and endless opportunity is on the horizon.".

- Behind-the-Scenes Efforts: Rep. Wesley Hunt has spent months trying to get officials to hire Elon Musk’s The Boring Co. to build a major flood infrastructure project in Houston.
- Size Matters: The Boring Co. has pitched building tunnels that are far smaller than what most studies have indicated the region would need to address its ongoing flooding issues.
- Under Consideration: County officials recently put together a report looking at the possibility of smaller tunnels, though they say they’ve made no final decision on design or contractor.

Judge Fines Pirate IPTV Man €30,000, Owing Sky €500K is Punishment Enough
A pirate IPTV reseller investigated by Sky, who destroyed evidence and dissipated assets in violation of two High Court orders, has been found guilty of contempt of court. David Dunbar of Co Wexford, Ireland, operated 'IPTV is Easy' and according to him, generated nearly €500k in profits while doing so. Since that money is now owed to Sky, a judge at Ireland's High Court imposed a fine of €30,000 rather than a prison sentence, concluding that on balance, he'd suffered enough.

Factcheck: 16 misleading myths about solar
Solar power is already providing the “cheapest electricity in history” and is expected to play a pivotal role in the global transition away from fossil fuels.
The technology accounted for two-thirds of the world’s new electricity capacity and two-fifths of new generation in 2024, according to the thinktank Ember.
Yet, this rapid expansion has triggered a backlash, with numerous campaigns springing up to oppose new solar projects from the UK to Australia.
These groups frequently draw on misinformation, spread by right-leaning media outlets, anti-renewable energy groups and predominantly right-wing political parties.
Increasingly, these narratives are having real-world consequences, with governments restricting or even banning the installation of solar panels across swathes of land.
Here, Carbon Brief factchecks 16 of the most common myths about solar power.

White House fires member of railroad-regulating Surface Transportation Board
The White House said on Thursday it has fired Surface Transportation Board member Robert Primus, as the U.S. rail regulator considers the proposed $85-billion merger of Union Pacific (UNP.N), and Norfolk Southern (NSC.N).
The ouster is the latest in a series of dismissals by President Donald Trump's administration from independent agencies and commissions.
White House spokesman Kush Desai said Primus did not align with Trump's agenda. "The Administration intends to nominate new, more qualified members to the Surface Transportation Board in short order."
Trump has fired the two Democrats on the Federal Trade Commission, the vice chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, and members of the National Labor Relations Board, Merit Systems Protection Board, and Federal Election Commission, among others. He also forced out of office the U.S. postmaster general and the CEO of Amtrak.
Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human
Just like society, the web moves forward when people think, compare, and discover for themselves. Vivaldi believes the act of browsing is an active one. It is about seeking, questioning, and making up your own mind.
Across the industry, artificial assistants are being embedded directly into browsers, and pitched as a quicker path to answers. Google is bringing Gemini into Chrome to summarize pages and, in future, work across tabs and navigate sites on a user’s behalf. Microsoft is promoting Edge as an AI browser, including new modes that scan what is on screen and anticipate actions.
These moves are reshaping the address bar into an assistant prompt, turning the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship.
This shift has major consequences for the web as we know it. Independent research shows users are less likely to click through to original sources when an AI summary is present, which means fewer visits for publishers, creators, and communities that keep the web vibrant. A recent study by PewResearch found users clicked traditional results roughly half as often when AI summaries appeared. Publishers warn of dramatic traffic losses when AI overviews sit above links.
The stakes are high. New AI-native browsers and agent platforms are arriving, while regulators debate remedies that could reshape how people reach information online. The next phase of the browser wars is not about tab speed, it is about who intermediates knowledge, who benefits from attention, who controls the pathway to information, and who gets to monetize you.
Today, as other browsers race to build AI that controls how you experience the web, we are making a clear promise:
We’re taking a stand, choosing humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship. Without exploration, the web becomes far less interesting. Our curiosity loses oxygen and the diversity of the web dies.Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Vivaldi
The field of machine learning in general remains an exciting one and may lead to features that are actually useful.
But right now, there is enough misinformation going around to risk adding more to the pile. We will not use an LLM to add a chatbot, a summarization solution or a suggestion engine to fill up forms for you, until more rigorous ways to do those things are available.
Vivaldi is the haven for people who still want to explore. We will continue building a browser for curious minds, power users, researchers, and anyone who values autonomy. If AI contributes to that goal without stealing intellectual property, compromising privacy or the open web, we will use it. If it turns people into passive consumers, we will not.
We will stay true to our identity, giving users control and enabling people to use the browser in combination with whatever tools they want to use. Our focus is on building a powerful personal and private browser for you to explore the web on your own terms. We will not turn exploration into passive consumption.
We’re fighting for a better web.

Washington State cuts off ICE access to data system used for immigration enforcement
The state Department of Licensing revoked Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to a data search system Wednesday after discovering the federal agency used it to get information about a Kirkland man targeted for deportation.
The use of that data for immigration enforcement, confirmed by the state after a KING 5 investigation, violated an agreement between the licensing department and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations, according to Nate Olson, a DOL spokesperson.
The revelation that state licensing data had been used for immigration enforcement took some lawmakers and immigrant advocates aback. The 2019 Keep Washington Working Act prohibits most state agencies from cooperating with immigration enforcement.

Alligator Alcatraz’s last days? DHS says it’s following judge’s shutdown order
A week after a federal judge ordered the state and federal governments to begin shutting down their operations at Alligator Alcatraz, workers are being sent packing and detainees are being moved to other facilities. Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a news conference in Orange County on Wednesday, said the Department of Homeland Security had “increased the pace of removals” from the detention facility.
DeSantis distanced the state from the decisions about who is detained at the site, saying “the state does not determine who goes into the facility.” “And so ultimately, it’s DHS’s decision, where they want to process and stage detainees, and it’s their decision about when they want to bring them out,” DeSantis said. “But I think they’ve been having rapid removals from Alligator Alcatraz, and I think that’s caused the census to go down,” he told reporters.

“The force of the impact snaps his head backwards causing him to fall backward onto the ground,” plaintiffs wrote in their trial brief. “He is unarmed, is not engaged in any violent or assaultive conduct.”
The complaint said the projectile “traveled up his nasal cavity, where it remained lodged for almost an entire year, until it was surgically removed,” causing Gluck permanent disfiguring injuries, traumatic brain injury and other lasting consequences.

Disable max-height for feed images
Hi!
I have set 'Compact UI' in the settings to 'No - expand images' but in my home feed they are still cut off. Looking at the code I can see the following:
.post_teaser_image_preview a {
max-height: 575px;
overflow: hidden;
} and disabling max-height solves my issue (seeing the whole image in the feed without clicking it).
How do I specify this in the custom CSS section in the settings so that the max-height is always disabled?
I tried
:disable {
.post_teaser_image_preview a {
max-height: 575px;
}
} but it doesn't work.
This snippet worked for me when I just tested it:
.post_teaser_image_preview a {
max-height: unset;
} Basically, any css rules in your custom css overwrite the rules specified elsewhere.
Edit: I just wanted to add why the max-height was set initially. This is the codeberg issue that caused there to be a limit. Basically, without setting a max-height, really tall and skinny images can take up a huge amount of vertical space.
Limiting height of image posts
It would be nice if there was a limit to how tall an image post could be displayed in the main feed (this only applies to non-compact mode).Codeberg.org
I guess I could also set the max-height to something like 1000px to limit extremely long ones.
Breaking up FEP d8c2 (OAuth 2.0 profile for the ActivityPub API)
Hey, all. So, almost two years ago I wrote this FEP:
codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…
It defines a profile for using OAuth 2.0 with the ActivityPub API, with a few components:
- Using the bog-standard OAuth authorization code flow as described at oauth.com/, including PKCE
- Using the
endpoints,oauthAuthorizationEndpointandoauthTokenEndpointproperties of an actor for discovery of endpoints - Using a small set of scopes (defined in the FEP as 'read', 'write' and 'sameorigin', but with a much longer more detailed list here
- A registrationless client ID mechanism that depends on having an Application ActivityPub object live on the Web.
Of these 4 points, I think the first two are defined pretty well elsewhere. It is probably a good idea to just let those be defined elsewhere. I think the possibility of an OAuth TF for the SocialCG suggests that those options can be worked out there.
That leaves the two novel parts of the FEP: the registration-less client IDs, and the scopes. I think I'd like to slim down the current FEP to just the registration-less client IDs, and start another FEP for the scopes.

Re: Breaking up FEP d8c2 (OAuth 2.0 profile for the ActivityPub API)
Hey evan@activitypub.space, I am all-in on more, simpler FEPs over monolithic impenetrable FEPs.
I take it that points 1 and 2 are due to concerns raised by thisismissem@hachyderm.io about how OAuth2 properties are already advertised in a standardized manner (I believe per OIDC or similar?) — no objections there.
On the topic of scopes, I know benpate@mastodon.social's 3b86 (Activity Intents) had some ideas on defining intents that have some parallels to scopes. I don't agree with hardcoding them all into the FEP itself, but I'm interested in exploring how we structure scopes so that they're more straightforward as not quite as fine-grained — a single scope for every ActivityStreams activity type might be a bit of overkill.
Earth’s Core is Leaking
In Earth’s primordial days, liquid iron fell through the ball of magma that was our planet, collecting elements–like ruthenium-100–that are attracted to iron. All of that material ended up in Earth’s outer core, a dense sea of liquid metal that geoscientists assumed was unable to cross into the lighter mantle. But recent observations suggest instead that core material is making its way to the surface.
Measurements from volcanic rocks in the Galapagos Islands, Hawai’i, and Canada’s Baffin Island all contain ruthenium isotopes associated with that primordial core material, indicating that that magma came from the core, not the mantle. Separately, seismic analyses suggest that this material could be crossing through continent-sized blobs of warm, large-grained crystals caught deep below Africa and the Pacific, at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core. For more, check out this Quanta Magazine article. (Image credit: B. Andersen; research credit: N. Messling et al. and S. Talavera-Soza et al.; via Quanta)

Not in any kind of hemispheric or durable sense. It does mean that much of Europe becomes appreciably colder for a period of centuries; think of how different eastern Canada is from Europe today.

Eastern Canada isn't a great example because of the prevailing winds. Even without the gulf stream, Europe would have less temperature variation than Eastern Canada because both have prevailing southwesterly winds. The Atlantic serves as a heat sink that dampens the extremes of winter and summer, so Europe would continue have less extreme temperatures than Eastern Canada - including less extreme cold.
Canada's east coast is more similar to Hokkaido and Kamchatka. A better comparison for Europe would be Canada's west coast. Paris would have similar weather to Vancouver, Oslo would be similar to Anchorage, and Lisbon would be similar to San Francisco. Except of course with global warming, you shift everything south again (taking into account that our experience of "similar weather to Vancouver" and climate advisories on the internet are anchored to the current +1.4°C level).
Central Europe doesn't have a great equivalent because all other places have mountains pretty close to the coast, but Ukraine and western Russia are shielded by mountains and landmasses to their southwest similar to central Canada. So Kyiv would have similar weather to Edmonton, and Moscow similar to Fort McMurray (both in Alberta).
So it would be a pretty big shock, but not catastropic. Comparable to the Little Ice Age.

Vuoto a perdere: un destino segnato
MONDO REALE: la storia di Mark Wilson “vuoto a perdere” è vagamente ispirata a quella di Mark David Chapman, l’uomo che nel 1980 ha ucciso John Lennon.
FANTASIA: Mark Wilson si è rassegnato al test HIV perennemente negativo e che vedrà Freddie solo in fotografia. Ma Bugliano non perdona e ha in serbo una sorpresa per lui…
2021. Vuoto a perdere: test negativo
A Bugliano come a Londra non contavo più le occasioni in cui il rituale scandiva la mia esistenza: prelievo, attesa, busta chiusa, telefono muto. Mai una volta che qualcuno mi dicesse “C’è bisogno di una seconda conferma, signor Wilson”.
Anche il mio nome stava bene con la sfortuna; il signor Wilson era il pallone del film Castaway con Tom Hanks, su un tizio che sopravvive in un’isola deserta dopo un incidente aereo.
Allora decisi di non spostarmi più da casa, i test fai da te comprati su Internet potevano dirmi il mio stato senza mai farmi alzare il culo dalla sedia né andare negli ospedali gestiti dai Poteri Forti.
Passai un anno intero in cerca di avventure nelle app di incontri mordi e fuggi: mai una domanda né troppi convenevoli con i partner, e per quanto la promiscuità aumentasse la probabilità di convertirmi, il mio test non cambiò mai. Negativo.
I miei colleghi e allievi non capirono perché continuassi a lamentarmi; mentre loro andavano sempre in bianco, io avevo sempre qualcuno di nuovo davanti alla porta. Finché un giorno accadde l’impensabile.
Tigre Frida
Era il 24 novembre 2021 e quando arrivò dal nulla un nuovo messaggio su un’app di dating, io ero intento a leggere i social network su Freddie Mercury e la sua morte.
“So chi sei e cosa cerchi”, mi scrisse in chat lo pseudonimo Tigre Frida; dal nome pensavo si trattasse di una donna particolarmente aggressiva, così preparai casa con le solite candele, cioccolatini e fiori che piacciono tanto al pubblico femminile.
In poco tempo iniziammo a scriverci dei reciproci desideri sessuali, prendendoci una confidenza contraria a ogni logica razionale; il sangue e il mio cuore erano proiettati verso quella persona sconosciuta come se fosse l’ultima avventura della mia intera esistenza.
Finalmente, verso sera, il mio telefono si accese col messaggio che attendevo da tutto il giorno: “Apri la porta, sono qui sotto! Tigre Frida.”
Lavato e vestito elegante, corsi incontro alla mia ospite preparato a ogni evenienza: avrebbe voluto uscire a cena, o altro?
Con passo lento la persona salì per le scale, finché ci trovammo entrambi sul pianerottolo…
Tutto potevo aspettarmi, tranne chi si presentò di fronte a me! Non credetti ai miei stessi occhi: a volere un’avventura sessuale con me era l’agente di polizia Adriano La Scala, la cui presunta integrità morale gli aveva fatto superare brillantemente due master di criminologia, uno a Bugliano e l’altro a Washington al cospetto dei federali.
Senza dirmi una parola mi prese per mano guidandomi dentro il mio appartamento come fosse casa propria: “meglio così”, pensai; questo vuole andare subito al sodo. Ce la godiamo poi fuori di qui e non se ne parla più! Niente relazioni omosessuali tra criminologo e insegnante, evitiamo gli scandali!
Appena entrati nella mia stanza da letto, lui mise tutto subito in chiaro: “Sei certo delle conseguenze? Io non sono qui per accontentare un perditempo capriccioso. O sei serio, o nulla.” Mi mostrò il suo medaglione col simbolo del rischio biologico e lo abbracciai con orgoglio: c’erano voluti anni ma finalmente qualcuno mi avrebbe dato il virus che cercavo.
“Vedi Wilson”, lui ricambiò il mio abbraccio. “Tigre Frida non esiste perché è l’anagramma di Adri Gifter!”
Le sorprese non finiscono
Definirlo intelligente era un eufemismo; uno abituato agli enigmi sul proprio nome, sicuramente avrebbe saputo scovare anche i peggiori serial killer e io dovetti frenare le mie confidenze. Mai avrei potuto raccontargli che avevo cercato di dissanguare Freddie Mercury e, in fondo, mi tentava parecchio anche il suo sangue di agente con qualità fuori dal comune.
Restammo insieme l’intera notte e, la mattina, mi portò pure la colazione a letto! Per la prima volta da quando era morto il povero Andrew non mi sentivo considerato come un giocattolo.
“Come ti senti, Mark?” mi domandò, con in mano la tazzina ancora mezza piena. “Ti sei pentito per ieri sera?”
“No”, gli sorrisi calmo, bevendo l’ultimo sorso di caffè; “mai stato meglio! Perché, tu hai rimorsi?”
“Neanche mezzo”, Adri finì di bere e posò la tazza sul comodino accanto alla mia; “ma se cambi idea posso accompagnarti in ospedale per la profilassi, al massimo entro due giorni.”
“Stai scherzando? Dopo trent’anni che aspetto questo momento tu mi vuoi riempire di medicine? No, e poi no!”
“Allora mi raccomando”, rispose abbracciandomi; “chiamami se nelle prossime settimane avverti sintomi. Febbre, debolezza, sudorazioni notturne… Vorrà dire che ci siamo riusciti.”
Ci salutammo così, abbracciati davanti alla porta di casa, verso l’inizio di una vita che non sarebbe mai più stata normale.
Cambiamento in atto
Tre settimane dopo l’evento, i segnali arrivarono puntuali: sudavo come un mulo e avevo la febbre alta.
“I tuoi giorni da negativo sono finiti”, mi scrisse Adriano quando lo avvisai in chat; “per un test fai da te è prestissimo ma quello dell’antigene, il test combo, in teoria dovrebbe già dirci qualcosa. Vuoi che venga con te a farlo?”
Il giorno in cui mi accompagnò in ambulatorio era un venerdì 17, unico in cui Adri era libero e io non dovevo tenere lezioni; almeno avrei potuto ribattezzare una data sfortunata in quella più felice della mia vita!
Quanto era carino il mio gifter: mi venne a prendere sotto casa come un vero cavaliere, addirittura mi aprì la portiera dell’auto e in ambulatorio rimase sempre al mio fianco.
“Anche se non ti è arrivato dalla fonte originale è sempre l’autentico HIV di Freddie Mercury”, mi disse, probabilmente per darsi un tono; “ora è solo questione di confermarlo!” Feci finta di niente, ma i ricordi di Freddie e le occasioni mancate per dissanguarlo, mi stavano logorando la mente.
Appena uscimmo dalla sala prelievi mi accompagnò a casa e mi tolse il cerotto dal braccio; osservai le poche gocce di sangue rimaste sul cotone e gli proposi di raggiungermi nella stanza da letto per un altro incontro stavolta fra positivi e lui scoppiò a ridere: “Sei positivo fino a prova contraria! Meglio se ci vediamo nel pomeriggio quando ti arriva il risultato.”
Qualcosa non va!
Senza nemmeno salutarmi, prese la porta e se ne andò. Dov’era il gifter generoso che avevo conosciuto? Troppe domande mi riempirono la mente per l’intera mattina, poi la consapevolezza arrivò all’improvviso: Già, è un poliziotto, e quando lavora non c’è vita privata che tenga.
Il mio telefono rimase muto per ore. Sapevo che di fronte a un risultato positivo al test sul sangue, dall’ambulatorio sarei stato chiamato per gli esami di conferma e i consulti medici a cui avrei, deliberatamente, dato buca.
Mai e poi mai avrei accettato i loro consigli e medicine! Una, due, tre volte mi collegai al sito web del laboratorio analisi con le mie credenziali, finché alle 15 qualcosa apparve. “Test combinato, anticorpi e antigene P24. HIV 1 e HIV 2, campione negativo.” Venerdì 17 confermato essere il giorno della sfortuna!
La verità viene a galla
Maledizione, maledizione e ancora maledizione! Il mio smartphone era in carica sul tavolo e trattenni l’impulso di buttarlo dalla finestra perché vidi un nuovo messaggio di Adri: “Vieni, sono sotto casa tua. Parliamo del test, meglio confrontarci di persona!”
Scesi le scale di corsa, intenzionato ad ammazzarlo di cazzotti perché nessuno aveva i miei dati per accedere al portale sanitario e questo voleva dire una cosa sola: Adri sapeva fin da subito come mi sarebbe andata!
“Ehi! Vuoto a perdere! Allora?” Lo stronzo sorrise beffardo, come avesse vinto un terno al lotto.
Lo vidi in piedi di fronte a me, stranamente in divisa da poliziotto ma ero troppo devastato per chiedergli ulteriori spiegazioni.
“Allora confermi che sei un vuoto a perdere!”
Restai in silenzio con le orecchie tese, avvertii dei vaghi rumori di persone in movimento provenire dal retro del mio palazzo e Adriano che mandava messaggi però evitai di distogliere il mio sguardo dal suo, volevo mi dicesse in faccia il motivo per cui mi avesse tradito a quel modo.
“Sai com’è, tesoro”, mi prese in giro; “io ho dovere di tutelare il mio virus e tu, un bene così prezioso, non l’avrai mai! Capito? MAI! Io sono non rilevabile e neanche volendo potrei trasmettertelo!”
Nemmeno ebbi il tempo di sferrargli un pugno, perché le persone da dietro casa si palesarono: erano tre poliziotti anche loro in uniforme, che immediatamente mi bloccarono e Adri stesso mi infilò le manette ai polsi.
“Mark Wilson, sei in arresto per terrorismo!”
Non opposi resistenza, come avrei potuto farlo? Conoscevo benissimo il mio ruolo e non potevo in alcun modo tradirmi adesso. Negativo e in galera, forse è questo che davvero meritavo! Mi feci portar via senza dire altro, da solo con la mia rabbia e il sorriso trionfante di Adriano accanto a me.
Epilogo
Dal carcere ho avuto il tempo per riflettere e sono arrivato alla conclusione di dover compiere una buona azione, almeno una: dare all’opinione pubblica quello che vuole.
Lutto all’università: suicida il docente Mark Wilson
Bugliano (PI) – 20 dicembre 2021. Una notizia dell’ultima ora sconvolge l’università buglianese: il noto docente Mark Wilson si è tolto la vita in carcere mordendosi i polsi fino a morire dissanguato.
“Soffriva di depressione da tempo”, ha dichiarato alla redazione la sorella Virginia. Titolare del locale House In Virginia adiacente al campus universitario, la donna non ha voluto fornire ulteriori dettagli sulla vita privata del professore.
L’insegnante era stato arrestato lo scorso 17 dicembre dopo un lungo e accurato pedinamento da parte dell’agente profiler Adriano Adri La Scala, secondo il quale Wilson corrispondeva al presunto mitomane dissanguatore che darebbe la caccia alle persone sieropositive a Bugliano e nel mondo.
La confessione
Lo stesso Mark Wilson prima di morire ha lasciato in cella una lettera confessione che noi pubblichiamo integralmente, rivolta a tutti i cittadini di Bugliano.
Bugliano, 19 dicembre 2021.
Sono io lo stalker, il dissanguatore, l’omicida. Ho ucciso io nel 1988 la donna italiana trovata morta a San Pietroburgo, dopo aver intercettato le sue lettere a Freddie Mercury mentre quest’ultimo era il mio datore di lavoro.I due avevano avuto una relazione e io non potevo permettere che si riconciliassero mentre io invece ero completamente solo e Freddie mi rifiutava!
La morte per AIDS del mio ex fidanzato Andrew Jones, mi ha talmente sconvolto da avermi causato un’ossessione per il virus. Non ho mai potuto provare che sia stato Mercury a contagiare il mio amore ma da allora volevo riprendere il legame con entrambi grazie alla loro malattia. Sarebbero stati dentro di me fino alla mia morte ma, anche se ho bevuto il sangue della ragazza e mi sono ferito con lo stesso coltello usato per tagliarle la gola, i miei test HIV sono sempre risultati negativi e quand’ho saputo che Freddie Mercury era sotto la protezione del mio ex compagno di scuola Raymond Still, ho deciso di vendicarmi molestando chi porta dentro di sé lo stesso virus del mio idolo.
Ma ora che mi avete messo in prigione non ho più niente ed è giunto per me il momento di dire addio a un mondo in cui forse, non dovevo nemmeno esistere. Sono stanco dei miei continui fallimenti!
Mark Wilson
Come redazione, non ci sentiamo di commentare ulteriormente la lettera, sarà competenza degli inquirenti valutarne l’autenticità e considerare ulteriori sviluppi del caso.

Meteorologists now face a Trump ‘loyalty test’ when applying to National Weather Service jobs
National Weather Service asks applicants to answer 'loyalty test'
After firing hundreds of meteorologists, the National Weather Service announced it is hiring. Applicants are being asked to detail their support for Trump.Anthony Edwards (San Francisco Chronicle)
the federal government told agencies they aren’t required to use the essay questions for hiring or promotions
I was gonna say, they can ask all they want but the person doing the hiring doesn't have to give a shit. In fact, I'd put ass kissers on the bottom of the list. This will be a big deal when at some point the top is filled with MAGA.

chiavina terminifera che non fa più uai fai (Netvip chiavetta WiFi morta a caso)
Poco fa era appena tarda mattina e, come si suol dire, se non bestemmio guarda… la giornata non comincia in maniera ufficiale. A quanto pare, la chiavettina WiFi che in questi ultimi giorni stavo usando temporaneamente sul PC fisso ha deciso di morire per sempre stamattina, o qualcosa del genere, semplicemente dal nulla (e quando mai le mie cose si rompono con cognizione di causa…), quindi eccomi a lamentarmene inutilmente. 😾
È una chiavetta merdosissima che comprai quando assemblai il PC fisso (nell’era del gran Covid!!!), perché mettere una scheda WiFi interna avrebbe significato avere una ricezione terribile (oltre al fatto che, se ricordo bene, avrei dovuto spendere di più; lasciamo stare il fatto che, col senno di poi, a furia della tirchiaggine sono finita per spendere ancora di più per vari prodotti schifosi), mentre la chiavetta potevo portarla in un punto buono usando una prolunga… Fatto sta che è sempre stata merda fumante, relativamente instabile su Windows e completamente instabile su Linux, e quindi alla fine dovetti comprare il bridge Ethernet TP-Link che ancora adesso uso, anche se pure quello a modo suo è terrificante. 😩Beh, in questi giorni stavamo facendo lavori in casa, quindi per un paio di giorni mi sono dovuta spostare col PC fisso in un’altra stanza e, per comodità, ho riesumato quella chiavetta… Che, in realtà, su Windows e a distanza più ravvicinata col router, funzionava pure quasi bene, superando addirittura i 200 mbps in upload e download (che è ben più di quanto il TP-Link sciordiaco fa in camera mia)… pur se ho dovuto sclerarci un quarto d’ora buono, perché (col driver automatico di Windows) per qualche motivo non riusciva a mantenere la connessione con il router configurando la rete normalmente… ma appena ho usato un IP statico al posto del DHCP ha deciso di collaborare… 🥱
Ribadisco che è talmente sgocciolante questo affare che, collegato direttamente alle porte posteriori del PC, dato quanto è minuscolo, prende così tanta interferenza (probabilmente dagli altri dispositivi USB collegati, maremma maiala!) che in tale modo nella stessa stanza farebbe non più di qualche megabit al secondo, e facendo cadere una quantità imbarazzante di pacchetti… Ma comunque, una volta ritrasferitami nella mia stanza l’altro ieri, sul momento non sapevo se poi dovessi spostarmi di nuovo, quindi non ho voluto ricollegarmi subito al TP-Link, mentre ieri mi è passato di mente (nonostante nella mia stanza senza prolunga la chiavetta faccia non più di 20 mbps, maremma cara, ma non dovevo scaricare niente ieri)… e quindi, così si arriva ad oggi. 🙄
Ho acceso il PC prima, e, dopo aver notato di non avere Internet, ho notato che la chiavetta non stava lampeggiando. Non voglio prolungare la miseria più del dovuto a questo punto, quindi, detto in breve: la scollego e ricollego svariate volte, provando tutte le porte libere, inserendola più piano o più veloce, con diversi angoli (visto che si ruppe il pezzo di metallo di sopra dell’USB, quindi ci può pure stare che non faccia subito contatto bene, visto che balla un po’), ma non succede assolutamente niente! Ogni tanto (nemmeno sempre…) esce un messaggio di “dispositivo USB non riconosciuto” di Windows, e basta… e nel frattempo noto che, al tatto, la chiavina diventa sempre caldissima a stare collegata così, nonostante appunto non stia lavorando. 😭
Provo pure qualche altra volta, con in mezzo anche una procorta (una prolunga corta; si, la possiedo, anche se non è USB 3.0), smuovo un po’ la schedina unica minuscola che compone effettivamente l’aggeggio, e niente… se non che ora ogni tanto esce pure un altro messaggio su Windows, “power surge on the USB port“, che semplicemente significa “c’è un cortocircuito”!!! Quindi, ormai, mi sa proprio che è morta oltre ogni ragionevole dubbio… e oh, menomale che lo ha fatto stamattina e non prima. Però certo che ci vuole un coraggio per mettere sul mercato un accessorio così fottutamente fumante (non letteralmente, per fortuna, ci mancava solo che prendesse fuoco…) e chiamarlo “Netvip“… se questo coso è da VIP, allora io sono la dittatrice dell’universo… 🌋

in reply to Peter Link • • •Proves over and over society was not ready for AI chatbots like this. I use it daily, but as someone who fully knows the limitations of what it is and what it can do. I'm mentally sound and can handle whatever garbage it can vomit up, but it helps with my coding. The fact that it was unleashed to everyone going full pandora's box was an insane pure profit driven motive.
Those of us who understand it can completely see it going off the rails. It's just a prediction machine. If you give it horrible stuff like that it's going to predict that it should come up with horrible stuff in response. It's almost impossible to stop it from doing that because the only real way to prevent it is to not train on that stuff before, but when you're dealing with the entire fucking internet that's pretty hard too. (Seriously people, Reddit and 4chan were included in training. How stupid were they with this?)
This was inevitable. Of course people are too trusting in AI and those mentally unwell will not be able to distinguish it. It was designed to be like that. They were wrong to release it openly to society.

in reply to Scrubbles • • •i had a 8 hour long troubleshooting session yesterday that should have only have taken on hour at most because my new boss was asking copilot for troubleshooting ideas and insisted that i pursue each one instead of listening to me.
then, this morning, he "corrected" the root cause analysis report i created because copilat said that something like this will never happen again. (it will happen again).
i never felt like the smartest person in the room before but; when everyone else is asking AI; being the smartest person becomes a very low bar.

in reply to Randomgal • • •is the machine the problem? that seems more like a philosophical or semantic debate.
the machine is not fit for the advertised purpose.
to some people that means the machine has a fault.
to others that means the human salesperson is irresponsibly talking bs about their unfinished product
imo an earnest reading of the logs has to acknowledge at least potential evidence of openai's monetisation loop at play in a very murky situation.
Randomgal
in reply to ganymede • • •Absolutely. OpenAI capitalistic actions, chosen by by humans, are absolutely a scourge and those humans bear the blame.
If there is a school shooter. We definitely need to have a discussion and changes around guns and their laws.
But we take the human to trial, not the gun.

in reply to Peter Link • • •I don't have any evidence. But everything I read about this story I get the vibe that parents are dodging their responsibility. Some of the logs clearly show that the kid have issues with the family.
And the fact that they are willing to blame some software instead of themselves speaks quite loudly.
Suicide in kids usually have two real roots, school or family. Because that's the two places the kid will spend more time with. And probably only run to "other places" if one or both those fundamental places are awful.
It's "videogames are to blame for violence" all over again.
I know too well how parents behave when they don't want to assume their own fucking responsibility for how they raise their kids, and this smells too much like that very same shit.
Peter Link
in reply to daniskarma • • •Clearly, the kid had problems that were not caused by ChatGPT. And his suicidal thoughts were not started by ChatGPT.
But OpenAI acknowledged that the longer the engagement continues the more likely that ChatGPT will go off the rails.
Which is what happened here. At first, ChatGPT was giving the standard correct advice about suicide lines, etc.
Then it started getting darker, where it was telling the kid to not let his mother know how he was feeling.
Then it progressed to actual suicide coaching.
So I don't think the analogy to videogames is correct here.
daniskarma
in reply to Peter Link • • •Take away chatgpt and insert a videogame, movie o bookthat talk about those same topics.
There are books that talk much darker about suicide. If the kid were to read those the parents would sue the author of the book?
There is a whole subgenre of music that is about encouraging people to comit suicide and fall into depression, do we use the "who is going to think about the children" card with thar music and its authors? Because music can really get under you skin and a couple of hours listening to that would nake anyone have weird thoughts.
The shitty parents blame chatgpt because it told the kid how to make a noose. You can kind that info in "howto" with instructable images. Do we put the UK nanny dictatorship controls on "howto" ? Or it only counts of it's something that benefits of the butlerian yihad?
I think is completely irrational to blame a piece of software (or media), as much defective as it is, for a suicide.
