China Plans to Dominate a Key Semiconductor Material(Polysilicon).


  • Polysilicon is often described as one of the purest materials on Earth. It is used as the substrate material for a range of products, most importantly chips and solar panels.
  • Beijing has provided significant support to its domestic polysilicon industry to establish Chinese firms as the dominant global suppliers of solar-grade polysilicon and is seeking to push its firms to expand their share of semiconductor-grade polysilicon.
  • Chinese overproduction of polysilicon and silicon carbide is causing the global price for these materials to crater, undermining the short- and long-term financial viability of leading firms in the United States and allied countries.
  • Forced labor has already been linked to China’s critical minerals sector, in particular rare earth mining and refining, increasing the likelihood that forced labor is integrated into China’s polysilicon supply chain.
  • The Commerce Department has launched a Section 232 investigation into polysilicon and derivative products, providing a unique opportunity to ensure that critical infrastructure supply chains do not become dependent on Chinese inputs.
  • The administration should prohibit imports of Chinese-origin or -linked polysilicon or derivative products, and require products containing Chinese-origin or -linked polysilicon to document that no forced labor was used in their production.
  • The departments of Commerce, Defense, and Treasury should support U.S.-based expansion of polysilicon and silicon-carbide production capacity.

Introducing quote posts


in reply to Sunshine (she/her)

And the majority of Mastodon users will think that Gargron has introduced quote-posts to the Fediverse.

What next to nobody on Mastodon knows is that the Fediverse has had quote-posts for a bit over 15 years, namely since the launch of Mistpark (today known as Friendica) in 2010. That's not only longer than the term "Fediverse" is old, it's also longer than Mastodon has been around.

For as long as Mastodon has existed, it has been possible to quote-post just about anyone and anything on Mastodon.

Oh, and for as long as Mastodon will exist, the non-Fediverse will be able to quote-post any and all public Mastodon toots with zero resistance, opt-in or opt-out or not.

«Not Even The “Tech Bros” Want Their Own “Tech”» — «Nemmeno i Techbro Vogliono la propria Tecnologia»


youtube.com/watch?v=a-YVtACnfW…

A proposito dei ricchi e motivi per odiarli, ho trovato questo video che spiega quanto la situazione è greve con la Valle del Silicio… o meglio, ciò che un tempo era il posto del silicio e oggi è diventato il posto dello schifo, il quartier generale di centinaia di signori del male digitale, per mano dei quali la parola “utente” assume un significato più distante dall’accezione informatica e più vicino a quello con cui gli spacciatori si riferiscono a chi compra le loro schifezze… 😷

I techbro di queste grosse aziende (non nello specifico le FAANG, anche centinaia di “minori”) sono non solo stronzi, in quanto perfettamente consapevoli di contribuire direttamente alla creazione di prodotti e servizi equiparabili a droga, software sempre in qualche modo dannoso per la psiche umana, nonostante sono loro che fanno le decisioni (insomma, parlo più di manager e salcazzi vari, non coloro che scrivono il codice sotto gli ordini dei draghi sputafuoco; anche se, qualora siano molto ricchi anche loro, non saranno risparmiati)… Sono soprattutto giganteschi ipocriti, che in primis si fanno riserve sull’usare la loro stessa tecnologia! 🤮

Il video fa diversi esempi, uno più allucinante dell’altro, ma secondo me il peggiore (cioè, quello che funziona meglio) è il fatto che i techbro restringono questa tecnologia in famiglia, andando dal non usarla a casa fino al bandirla completamente ai figli! Probabilmente molti conoscono quello che all’epoca pareva un caso eclatante, cioè che Steve Jobs non lasciava usare ai suoi figli (piccoli?) iPod e iPad… ma io ignoravo (e penso quasi tutti, altrimenti la società non sarebbe come è oggi) che nel salotto cattivo della California questa fosse praticamente la norma… 😱

…Ma, non solo niente tecnologie smart moderne AI agile connection cloud touch ai figli, ma addirittura niente in generale… neanche a scuola: li mandano in istituti di primo e secondo grado che costano più di una fottuta università (ricchi di merda) e dove, a differenza di qualsiasi scuola per persone normali, per i figli del popolo e non di un élite dei miei coglioni, tutto viene fatto senza alcuna tecnologia, perché si ritiene (forse non a torto, stando alle statistiche) che evitarla completamente porti più pro che contro nell’ambito dell’istruzione. E se è davvero così come si pensa, è gravissimo, perché vorrebbe dire (come se non ci fossero già altre mille conferme a riguardo, vabbé) che tutta la storiella delle pari opportunità sotto il nostro sistema economico, che ognuno può “farsi da sé”, è una stronzata colossale: i bambini non hanno margine di manovra, e non sono loro che scelgono se andare ad una scuola per ricchi dove imparano veramente, o una normale dove si brainrottano. 😫

Ora, io personalmente spero che questi bambini non stiano totalmente a secco di tecnologia, perché sarebbe triste… cioè spero abbiano almeno un 3DS per fare il gaming e magari foto e video, e quantomeno un PC a casa per rovinarsi già in tenera età con il coding, o fare un server Minecraft, o creare siti web, non lo so… Però, a parte la mia opinione personale, la situazione è oggettivamente vomitevole. Questi ricchi bastardi, che sono per esempio capi di social network (come uno di Facebook nel video), non lasciano usare il social ai figli non per i motivi soliti e giusti del tipo di “è pieno di pedofili” (cosa a cui risponderei di sistemare la moderazione, merde!), o che dovrebbero tenere d’occhio cosa ci fanno sopra ma non hanno tempo… glieli vietano per la struttura in sé: perché queste piattaforme sono fatte apposta, come sappiamo, per causare assuefazione. 😶

Io, come sempre, non ho parole. Questi minchioni sanno perfettamente i danni che il loro “lavoro” causa alla società, e invece di cambiare rotta se ne fottono — ma, non quando si tratta delle persone a loro care. Un comportamento immorale e sociopatico a dire poco… e io, veramente, non so come devo fare ancora a vivere in un mondo così terribile, visto che la gente non si sveglia e quindi fare una rivoluzione a livello mondiale, che è l’unica rivoluzione che funzionerebbe, è praticamente impossibile. 😭😭😭

Buongiorno a tutti, sono Erika e apro con piacere un piccolo mondo dedicato al cucito.

Perché potremmo avere bisogno di questo spazio? Perché cucire è un intimo atto politico, di resistenza ma soprattutto di amore.

Per approfondire questo aspetto consiglio la lettura di ‘I fili della vita’, Clare Hunter, edito da Bollati Boringhieri.

Ma inoltrandoci un po’ più nel vivo della questione, vi propongo una delle mille possibilità con le quali approcciarsi al mondo del cucito e sarei felice di sapere la vostra.

Cucire la necessità.

Parliamo di cucito sartoriale e creativo, senza distinzione. Reinizia la scuola, ci serve un astuccio: cuciamolo. Abbiamo le mestruazioni e ci rendiamo conto che abbiamo voglia di fare la differenza, disegnandoci un cartamodello di assorbenti su misura. Mutande lise? Cuciamocene un bel paio! Grembiule per non sporcarci? Ecco fatto!

Non si arriva a fare tutto dall’oggi al domani, ma con il sostegno dei tanti account che condividono gratuitamente le loro esperienze, qualche libro e qualche modellista che vi vende le sue preziose idee su carta (la conoscete mammaconstoffa, Elisa Masi?) ), ecco che abbiamo le basi per partire!

A proposito, urgono contenuti liberi anche su #peertube. Chi si propone? 😀

Update about GPS Jamming in Bulgaria related to the EU Presidents Plane


Basically initial news articles were often quite miss-leading. Yes GPS jamming, but they were only delayed about 9 minutes, and they used a standard VOR/ILS approach which was not GPS based. About paper maps -- no but they may have looked up the VOR/ILS procedure on an electronic or paper chart and this is pretty standard.



Prove Me Wrong


Charlie Kirk was unremarkable. He was a racist. A white nationalist, transphobe, and megaphone for fascism but more than anything, he was unremarkable. I am one of the eldest of millennials, and thanks to a litany of health issues as well as a fondness for reading, an indoor kid. So when the internet was accessible for home use, I took to it as soon as I could. With unfettered access to all corners of the Wild West that was the internet before it was effectively owned by four companies, I ran across people like Charlie Kirk often enough.

In the earliest days, they were indistinguishable from the creeps who wouldn't meet your eye at booths in the back of the flea market. Well, my eye, anyway. I'm sure if you weren't a little black kid, they would've gladly welcomed you over to look at their wares, which I'd find out later on in life were things like xeroxed copies of The Turner Diaries and other such reactionary Nazi garbage. As they broke containment from listservs and BBSs, they'd pop up in forums and chat rooms to test the waters to see how tolerable their bullshit was in a given place. More likely than not, the main aim was to find other like-minded scumbags or impressionable kids to pull off into other, more shadowy places.

Later as things gave way to more formalized websites and community platforms that would lead to modern social media, the Charlie Kirks of the world slunk off to corners of the 'Net that might be more familiar to you as seeds of the current hellworld we find ourselves in. Getting booted from Something Awful to end up on the imageboards. Taking detours from their own blogs or frantically refreshing the Drudge Report to jump in the comments sections of more populated and legitimate platforms, yelling invective about whatever news of the day related to their particular bugbear–blacks, gays, and proto-men's rights/incel rhetoric, typically. At least back then in my experience, the more blatant antisemitism was less common even among these types, because there was much less willful confusion about what actual antisemitism was. The associated dogwhistles were much more likely to get you correctly identified as someone who holds the Elders of the Protocols of Zion in high regard. But I digress.

On into the rise of social media, the accessibility of video content, and the ability to post at the speed of your thumbs' dexterity across a phone, people like Charlie Kirk were a dime-a-dozen. Turning Point as a concern aside, the steady erosion of news media under the disastrous and still relevant effects of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (and, perhaps, the much earlier elimination of the Fairness Doctrine) has allowed for an environment where "objectivity" is an excuse to give blatant fascism apologia the same open floor as actual, substantive and informative political or social commentary. With men like Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan as their guiding lights, the internet is lousy with bigots that can offer a veneer of legitimacy because for the average viewer, their cadence and distribution methods are indistinguishable from influencers–which is where a disconcerting number of the public get their news from–and Charlie Kirk was merely a particularly odious member of the pack. He's no different than Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Candace Owens, Tomi Lahren, and countless other reactionaries with Shure mics and ring lights–aside from his "activism," which only really differentiated him from his colleagues because of its intended scope. Whatever else you can say about his colleagues, in my opinion they're more concerned with maintaining a loyal platform, whereas Charlie Kirk's primary aim was stochastic terrorism.

Senators demand ICE cease use of facial recognition app


Senators Edward J. Markey, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley sent a letter Thursday to Acting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons urging the agency to stop using “Mobile Fortify,” a smartphone app that uses biometric identification, including facial recognition. The lawmakers said facial recognition remains unreliable and warned that real-time surveillance could have a chilling effect on constitutionally protected activities.

"As studies have shown, when individuals believe they are being surveilled, they are less likely to engage in First Amendment-protected activities, such as protests or rallies — undermining the very core of our democracy,” the senators wrote.

They requested answers from the agency by October 2 as to who built the app, when it was deployed, whether ICE tested its accuracy, the legal basis for its use and current agency policies governing the tool's use. They also asked whether ICE would commit to ending the use of Mobile Fortify, and to explain why if they would not. The letter was also signed by Senators Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Chris Van Holle, Tina Smith, Bernie Sanders and Adam Schiff.

Exclusive: Kratsios details White House AI plans


The government wants AI to accelerate quickly in the U.S. — and it's about to take the first steps to remove as much red tape as possible, Office of Science and Technology Policy director Michael Kratsios told Axios in an exclusive interview.

Why it matters: Kratsios is at the center of AI policy in the Trump administration, and the White House is laser-focused on reshaping the rules around the technology.

Driving the news: OSTP later this month will ask the public and businesses to weigh in on the federal regulations that they think hold back the development and deployment of AI, Kratsios told Axios.

This request for information is the first policy action recommended in the White House's AI action plan aimed at removing bureaucratic red tape.
What they're saying: Kratsios said that Europe's comprehensive AI law, the EU AI Act, is "not at all the way the U.S. is approaching this" space.

The White House is instead backing what he describes as a "use-case and sector-specific" framework.
For example, in health care, there could be regulations that hinder the development of particular medical devices, Kratsios said. Or in finance, there could be regs around algorithmic trading and consumer protection holding AI back.

Kratsios also applauded Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz's recent introduction of legislation that would allow companies to test products in a less-strictly regulated AI "sandbox," or testing zone.
"Sandboxing, broadly in the world of emerging tech, is something I have been a big proponent of, and the president has supported over the years," Kratsios said.

odio il Durov e gli spaccaggi maledetti (sono cucinata)


Oggi è un nuovo giorno… ma sembra che il calendario sia sempre e comunque incastrato in un eterno ritorno dello schifo, se si guarda a Telegram. E io, ormai, sto perdendo la pazienza oltre ogni limite veramente normale, al punto che non so cosa succederà se le cose continuano per questa via… non ce la faccio veramente più, il tutto fa così troppo schifo, e non c’è una singola app di messaggistica che sia migliore, nonostante siamo nel fottuto anno 2025 d.C (o 5 d.C, dopo Covid), questa è la rogna. 😭
29 .;e)"ce l'ho durov" disse egli dopo aver reso Telegram una merda rotta schifosa pay to winnColli9 EDIUIZIONI9 EDUROVÈ9 EDIUIZIONI9 EDIUIZIONIÈa ° DUROV9 E
In breve, il problema è che Telegram ha ogni fottuto giorno sempre problemi minori — e non parlo solo degli eventuali client glitchati, che ormai son pane quotidiano, ma proprio di cose che si rompono a livello di backend, di continuo — che vanno a rovinare malamente quello che all’atto pratico è un servizio di pubblica utilità, nonostante Pavel Durov sia talmente ricco sfondato di soldi che, se si decidesse a usarli per bene, quindi per il bene della piattaforma e degli utenti, investendo grandemente in ricerca e sviluppo oltre che in dei server funzionanti, questi problemi logicamente non esisterebbero… E, non solo questo, ma da classico riccone si riempie sempre la bocca di stronzate, e gli scemi che gli vanno appresso lo pagano pure per ciò. 😿

Da qualche giorno sto vedendo un problema stranissimo per cui le anteprime per molti link, in genere esterni ma a volte anche interni, non si generano o non si aggiornano… ed è 1 problema. Oggi però, come se le incazzature accumulate non fossero abbastanza, la bot API HTTP (e anche altra roba web, a quanto pare, che però non ha impattato me in quel momento) ha smesso di funzionare per tipo un’ora buona… e tipo tutti i bot inizialmente hanno smesso di funzionare, poi qualcuno ha recuperato, e ma ovviamente il mio @WinDogBot ci ha messo secoli a recuperare, nonostante lo riavviassi a mano di continuo. Mamma che schifo! 👹

E nel mentre (cioè, poco dopo, ma vabbè) che gli utenti col cervello non liscio soffrono, il capo mafia se ne esce con l’ennesimo post politico scritto in 2 minuti non solo per pavoneggiarsi lui e la sua piattaforma di cazzo, ma per racimolare soldi… racimolare soldi sopra la morte di un tizio assassinato… perché, come ad ogni suo post, accetta le stelle, e il suo canale è pieno di coglioni che gliele danno. Bastardo. In questo momento, con circa 400mila visualizzazioni, ha raccolto 12,5mila stelle, che valgono circa 208 euro… per aver scritto la roba più banale di sempre e con il solito intento immorale, ossia portare acqua+soldi al proprio mulino; anziché fare un post di scuse per il disservizio del momento. Non ho davvero parole. ☠️

Chiedo non ironicamente aiuto, perché ho perso le speranze. Da questo momento l’unica cosa che potrò fare è semplicemente desiderare che Durov, una mattina a caso, si svegli e semplicemente rinsavisca: desidero che da un momento all’altro si accorga dello schifo che fa da ricco, e di sua spontanea volontà prima venda tutti gli yatch (o gli altri oggetti superflui che ha, ora non so), poi metta di botto una gran parte del suo patrimonio in Telegram per sanare le gigantesche lacune che questo affare ha, e poi si dia alla beneficenza, alle opere buone. Oh, non desidero che si ammali, e nemmeno che qualcuno gli levi ciò che ha… voglio che sia lui a diventare buono spontaneamente, cazzarola e porca puttana!!! 😭😭😭

Comunque, in generale sembra che tutti questi esseri umani, in assoluto, più diventano ricchi e più diventano stronzi… soprattutto in ambito tech, più diventano personalmente ricchi e meno gli importa dei prodotti che loro stessi hanno creato e che sono diventati (in grande o piccola parte, dipende dai casi) monopolio di settore; pazienza se l’esperienza per gli utenti fa schifo, basta che loro possono farsi le vacanze da ricchi, e parlare dal proprio piedistallo come se fossero divinità… quando, a differenza mia, non lo sono neanche a metà. (…Non datemi assolutamente mai soldi, perché ho paura di finire pure io male come ‘sti techbro dimmerda, ma vi scongiuro: non dateli nemmeno a quelli che sono già ricchi, piuttosto spendeteli per roba veramente bona.) 🕳️

Comcast Executives Warn Workers To Not Say The Wrong Thing About Charlie Kirk | 404 Media




Comcast Executives Warn Workers To Not Say The Wrong Thing About Charlie Kirk


A company-wide email from Comcast executives, sent to everyone working at NBCUniversal on Friday morning, mourns right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk’s death and reminds employees that saying the wrong thing about Kirk’s legacy can get you fired swiftly.

The email, obtained by 404 Media and first reported by Variety, has the subject line “A message from Brian Roberts, Mike Cavanagh, and Mark Lazarus.” In it, the executives eulogize Kirk, calling him an “advocate for open debate, whose faith was important to him.”

Roberts is the Chairman and CEO of Comcast Corporation, Cavanagh is the president, and Lazarus is the prospective CEO of VERSANT, Comcast’s new spinoff that will include the majority of its NBCUniversal cable network portfolio. NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo and more journalistic and entertainment properties are under the NBCUniversal umbrella.

“You may have seen that MSNBC recently ended its association with a contributor who made an unacceptable and insensitive comment about this horrific event,” the executives wrote. “That coverage was at odds with fostering civil dialogue and being willing to listen to the points of view of those who have differing opinions.”

💡
Do you have information about how your company is speaking to employees about Charlie Kirk's death, or political speech in general? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at sam.404. Otherwise, send me an email at sam@404media.co.

Political analyst Matthew Dowd was fired from MSNBC on Wednesday after speaking about Kirk’s death on air. During a broadcast on Wednesday following the shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens,” according to Variety. Dowd answered: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler issued an apology in response, calling Dowd’s words “inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable.” Dowd also apologized publicly, posting on Bluesky: “On an earlier appearance on MSNBC I was asked a question on the environment we are in. I apologize for my tone and words. Let me be clear, I in no way intended for my comments to blame Kirk for this horrendous attack.”

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way
The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk’s work.
404 MediaJason Koebler


MSNBC is a division of NBCUniversal. The letter from Comcast executives reiterates to current employees that their jobs are on the line if they stray from bland, milquetoast statements about a man who spent his life fomenting hate will have consequences on their careers. The entire mainstream media environment has been working overtime to sanitize Kirk’s legacy since his murder—a legacy that includes targeted harassment of professors at schools across the country and normalizing the notion that basic human rights are up for “debate.”

The full email is below.

Dear Comcast NBCUniversal Team,

The tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old father, husband, and advocate for open debate, whose faith was important to him, reminds us of the fragility of life and the urgent need for unity in our nation. Our hearts are heavy, as his passing leaves a grieving family and a country grappling with division. There is no place for violence or hate in our society.

You may have seen that MSNBC recently ended its association with a contributor who made an unacceptable and insensitive comment about this horrific event. That coverage was at odds with fostering civil dialogue and being willing to listen to the points of view of those who have differing opinions. We should be able to disagree, robustly and passionately, but, ultimately, with respect. We need to do better.

Charlie Kirk believed that "when people stop talking, really bad stuff starts." Regardless of whether you agreed with his political views, his words and actions underscore the urgency to maintain a respectful exchange of ideas a principle we must champion. We believe in the power of communication to bring us together. Today, that belief feels more vital than ever. Something essential has fractured in our public discourse, and as a company that values the power of information, we have a responsibility to help mend it.

As employees, we ask you to embody our values in your work and communities. We should engage with respect, listen, and treat people with kindness.

US SEC to dismiss case against former Nikola CEO


In the case, filed in 2021, U.S. prosecutors accused Milton of falsely claiming that Nikola had built an electric- and hydrogen-powered pickup from scratch and developed batteries in-house while knowingly sourcing them externally.

Milton, who received a pardon from U.S. President Donald Trump this year, also waived his right to seek legal costs and released all claims against the agency, the document showed.

Nikola's stock plummeted after Hindenburg Research, a former high-profile short-seller, targeted the company in 2020, accusing it of deceiving investors about its technological advancements.

US launches pilot program to speed air taxi deployment


Joby Aviation (JOBY.N), praised the program, saying, "aircraft in the program can begin operations in select markets ahead of full FAA certification, a critical step in preparing for scaled commercial service."

Air taxi stocks rose on the program first reported by Reuters. Joby shares were up 5% while Archer Aviation was up 3%.

Air taxi firms are racing to secure approvals and commercialize air taxi aircraft to meet the growing demand for faster and more sustainable urban transportation.
