la sedia sfaldante che ti rompe la mente
Lo so che ormai, nelle mie condizioni, non dovrei più minimamente stupirmi di nessuno spacc, ma… boh, quest’ultimo qui (che in realtà si manifesta da qualche mese, ma in certi momenti di più ed in altri meno, vai a capire perché) è proprio zamni, perché sembra non aver avuto mai un inizio né tantomeno una fine… la mia sedia si sta letteralmente sbriciolando, oltre i limiti dell’umano. E pensare che ormai non faccio nemmeno più tanto gaming, su quella sedia… e ok, alla fine dei conti anche il non-gaming ammonta solo a premere la tastiera e muovere il mouse, ma mi pare strambo. 💔
Il fottuto rivestimento di finta pelle o quello che è — che a questo punto francamente potevano evitare di mettere proprio, se dopo appena 6-7 anni scarsi doveva rompersi in questo modo indegno — ha iniziato lentamente a sfaldarsi, a fare i frammentini, che spesso finiscono direttamente per terra come merdini neri a far sembrare la stanza sporca… quando non rimangono solo parzialmente staccati sulla sedia, creando una superficie lievemente irregolare che da lievemente fastidio all’anima (o beh, a volte si staccano del tutto ma non cadono subito a terra, ancora peggio); strofinando con la manina come in video poi cadono effettivamente. Come dovrei fare io a non essere costretta a cambiare questo affare prima dei prossimi 100 anni di uso, se già ora fa così??? Da non credere… 😿

Google quietly removes net-zero carbon goal from website amid rapid power-hungry AI data center buildout — industry-first sustainability pledge moved to background amidst AI energy crisis
It's ok. Consumers will take up the slack on climate change. You'll just not be able to do anything ever or eat normal food. I know a lot of you say that if you don't eat meat it produces a lot less carbon.
But what if I did eat meat and google didn't spend the energy grid's entire power supply chasing dominance in a technology none of want that badly.
This is the classic example of rent seeking. Rent seeking is when resources are spent on a contest that doesn't actually produce anything for the public. And the total resources spent on the contest by all parties can exceed even the benefit to the victor. It's Mr. Beast but instead of people exhausting themselves it's corporations exhausting the planet.

:::The new Social Security War Room investigation found that, in addition to gutting the Social Security workforce and degrading key functions of the agency, Trump’s Social Security Administration(SSA) has removed 48 benchmarks of critical information and data from its website, including: (1) disability benefits processing data; (2) retirement, survivor, and Medicare claims processing data; (3) key phone metrics; (4) information on staff reductions; and (5) information that helps Americans understand or modify their Social Security. The dashboard changes have occurred — without notice — while Social Security Administration(SSA)’s leadership has continued to peddle false claims about wait time data.In June, reports revealed that Social Security Administration(SSA)’s online performance dashboard had been removed from the agency’s website shortly after Commissioner Bisignano took office. The dashboard had displayed key information including metrics on processing times for benefits and live wait time data for the agency’s 800 number.

Bernie Sanders breaks with Democrats and endorses popular oyster farmer running against Susan Collins
A surging grassroots campaign has already formed behind Graham Platner, known online as ‘the oysterman,’ who is attempting to oust beleaguered Republican Susan Collins
Sanders’ endorsement of the 40-year-old Platner comes at odds with others in the Democratic Party, who are reportedly hoping that the state’s 77-year-old Governor Janet Mills will enter the race instead.
The Vermont Senator and Platner are set to hold a rally on Labor Day with logger turned Maine gubernatorial candidate Troy Jackson in Portland, Maine. The venue has been changed from an auditorium to a much larger arena due to the interest, according to Rolling Stone.
Prior to his bid, launched earlier this month, Platner has no political experience and though he has dismissed being labeled as “liberal,” he has embraced several more progressive policies, in line with those of Sanders.

Of course he does. Putin needs to sell oil. It's a major Russian export earner. If US demand for oil and gas drops, so do global prices for those commodities. Less money for Puto, less ability for him to murder Ukrainians.
And unlike low-cost producers like the Saudis, Russia needs a moderately high price just to break even on their production.

Solar+ storage is already cost competitive to new gas power plants, everywhere, without incentives, and it will only get better
Solar and batteries are already cost competitive with gas when it comes to adding new, 24 hour, firm generation. Mileage does vary by location, but many cities (globally) could get to 60-99% powered by solar + battery while being just cheaper than a new gas power plant. This is using numbers from 2024, and both of these technologies are in a cost free fall* and have been for a long time.

Ben-Hur on a computer screen
This is a "crônica", a uniquely Brazilian format that emerged in Brazilian newspapers in the 19th century. The crônica is very short. It is characterized by a mix of fact, subjectivity, and often fiction that is supposed to reflect or say something about reality (this one has no fiction). Oddly enough, I wrote this crônica directly in English. It was an interesting experience to write something so profoundly Brazilian in English.
Crônicas are often slice-of-life.
Linux phones are more important now than ever.
E: apparently it needs to be said that I am not suggesting you switch to Linux on your phone today; just that development needs to accelerate.Android has always been a fairly open platform, especially if you were deliberate about getting it that way, but we've seen in recent months an extremely rapid devolution of the Android ecosystem:
- The closing of development of an increasing number of components in AOSP.
- Samsung, Xiaomi and OnePlus have removed the option of bootloader unlocking on all of their devices. I suspect Google is not far behind.
- Google implementing Play Integrity API and encouraging developers to implement it. Notably the EU's own identity verification wallet requires this, in stark contrast to their own laws and policies, despite the protest of hundreds on Github.
- And finally, the mandatory implementation of developer verification across Android systems. Yes, if you're running a 3rd-party OS like GOS you won't be directly affected by this, but it will impact 99.9% of devices, and I foresee many open source developers just opting out of developing apps for Android entirely as a result. We've already seen SyncThing simply discontinue development for this reason, citing issues with Google Play Store. They've also repeatedly denied updates for NextCloud with no explanation, only restoring it after mass outcry. And we've already seen Google targeting any software intended to circumvent ads, labeling them in the system as "dangerous" and "untrusted". This will most certainly carry into their new "verification" system.
Google once competed with Apple for customers. But in a world where Google walks away from the biggest antitrust trial since 1998 with yet another slap on the wrist, competition is dead, and Google is taking notes from Apple about what they can legally get away with.
> Android as we know it is dead. And/or will be dead very soon. We need an open replacement.
It truly can't be overstated how important this will be in the coming years, given the current trends of Android towards being a closed ecosystem.

Progress update for Conversational Contexts
This past June, I put together a write-up about two major approaches to backfilling conversations. The ability to properly backfill conversations means we will be able to make major inroads toward solving the feeling that the fediverse is quiet.
I, alongside several other members of the SWICG Forums and Threaded Discussions Task Force (ForumWG) have been working toward building implementor support for Conversational Contexts — the ability to explicitly classify a set of objects as belonging to a conversation, whether that be a topic, reply tree, or similar.
I am happy to report that we have made some wonderful inroads this past few months!
- jesseplusplus@mastodon.social has been working closely with the Mastodon team to allow software to backfill from Mastodon — this pull request has now been approved! :white_check_mark:
- I have been working with both nutomic@lemmy.ml and rimu@piefed.social to allow software to backfill from Lemmy and Piefed, respectively. (Lemmy PR, Piefed issue) :white_check_mark:
This marks a major milestone in the adoption of conversational contexts. With Mastodon on board backfill will be possible with the majority of the microblogiverse. With Lemmy and Piefed on board, backfill will be possible with the majority of the threadiverse.
Remember that pfefferle@mastodon.social was an early adopter of conversational contexts, and we have been able to backfill from WordPress blogs for quite awhile now (so that's the blogiverse too) :blush:
I for one, am eagerly awaiting the next version of all of these softwares!!

Trump’s nominee to lead Bureau of Labor Statistics accused of running offensive Twitter account
President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics once ran an offensive Twitter account that posted misogynistic and homophobic abuse and entertained conspiracy theories, according to a report.
EJ Antoni, 37 – an economist with the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think-tank behind the Project 2025 agenda for Trump’s second term – ran the account from 2015 to 2020 but it has since been deleted, CNN reported.
The network said the account – which existed under multiple names at different times, beginning with his own – was used to make degrading and sexist remarks about female Democratic politicians, including Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.
