Just installed fedora to replace windows 10. I've used mint and ubuntu as a general purpose os in the past but it's been a few years and I was never a power user, just learned what I needed as I went.

I remember it being important to use timeshift to safeguard against breaking something with updates, but it seems like timeshift doesn't work on fedora. Rather, you can get it to work on fedora but it's not supported. The thing that is confusing me is, searching for a way to do snapshots on fedora, I haven't really found what I expected? There's nothing I can see in software or flathub, timeshift or the alternatives mentioned on forums. I'm think I'm going to proceed with figuring out snapper using btrfs assistant as a gui...

But, given that I remember timeshift being basically recommended all the time to everyone when I used to use linux, I can't find anyone all that interested in using snapshots with fedora. Is it not necessary with fedora? Does fedora somehow handle that already? I can make do with the information I can find, but I'm wondering why there is so little information about it at all. I can't really find anything that suggests it's important to make snapshots. Or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places? Can someone help me understand this better?

Aside from Alphabet’s own forays into AI, they’re also selling pickaxes to most other AI prospectors.

It’s a story deSouza likes to tell in numbers. In a conversation with this editor, he notes several times that nine out of the top 10 AI labs use Google’s infrastructure. He also says that nearly all generative AI unicorns run on Google Cloud, that 60% of all GenAI startups worldwide have chosen Google as their cloud provider, and that the company has lined up $58 billion in new revenue commitments over the next two years, which represents more than double its current annual run rate.

Asked what percentage of Google Cloud’s revenue comes from AI companies, he offers instead that “AI is resetting the cloud market, and Google Cloud is leading the way, especially with startups.”

The strategy extends beyond simple customer acquisition. Google offers AI startups $350,000 in cloud credits, access to its technical teams, and go-to-market support through its marketplace. Google Cloud also provides what deSouza describes as a “no compromise” AI stack — from chips to models to applications — with an “open ethos” that gives customers choice at every layer.

The approach reflects both opportunity and necessity. In a market where companies can go “from being a startup to being a multibillion-dollar company in a very short period of time,” as deSouza puts it, capturing future unicorns before they mature could prove more valuable than fighting over today’s giants.

“Companies love the fact that they can get access to our AI stack, they can get access to our teams to understand where our technologies are going,” deSouza says during our interview. “They also love that they’re getting access to enterprise-grade Google class infrastructure.”

Google’s infrastructure play got even more ambitious recently, with reporting revealing the company’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to expand its custom AI chip business. According to The Information, Google has struck deals to place its tensor processing units (TPUs) in other cloud providers’ data centers for the first time, including an agreement with London-based Fluidstack that includes up to $3.2 billion in financial backing for a New York facility.

Competing directly with AI companies while simultaneously providing them infrastructure requires … finesse. Google Cloud provides TPU chips to OpenAI and hosts Anthropic’s Claude model through its Vertex AI platform, even as its own Gemini models compete head-to-head with both. (Google Cloud’s parent company, Alphabet, also owns a 14% stake in Anthropic, per New York Times court documents obtained earlier this year, though when asked directly about Google’s financial relationship with Anthropic, deSouza calls the relationship a “multi-layered partnership,” then quickly redirects me to Google Cloud’s model marketplace, noting that customers can access various foundation models.)

It isn't your imagination: Google Cloud is flooding the zone | TechCrunch

While the industry's biggest players cement ever-tighter partnerships, Google is hell-bent on capturing the next generation of AI companies before they become too big to court.

The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday marked the culmination of President Trump's yearslong desire to see one of his political foes punished after the bureau's investigation into his 2016 presidential campaign and Russian meddling in that election.

But the president's long-held ire toward Comey, coupled with his latest comments cheering the federal charges brought against the former FBI chief, could aid defense lawyers in a potential bid to have the case against Comey tossed.

"In this case, the facts before the indictment and even comments Trump made after the indictment provide strong factual evidence that Mr. Comey is the victim of either selective or vindictive prosecution," Gene Rossi, a former federal prosecutor who worked at the Justice Department for nearly 30 years, told CBS News.

Trump's attacks on Comey and leadership shifts in prosecutors' office could undermine case, legal experts say

Deadly Israeli attacks continued to target Palestinian civilians on 24 September as Tel Aviv’s forces pushed deeper into Gaza City as part of a new operation to force the resistance into submission.

While many have fled, tens of thousands of others are unwilling to leave their homes. Some have also returned to their homes in Gaza City after being displaced toward the south.

“We affirm that more than 900,000 Palestinians remain steadfast in Gaza City, holding onto their right to stay and firmly rejecting forced displacement and expulsion to the south, despite the horrific bombardment and genocidal crimes carried out by the Israeli occupation,” the Gaza Government Media Office said in a statement on Wednesday.

Those fleeing have been ordered to head south toward Al-Mawasi – a previously declared “safe zone” which has been relentlessly targeted throughout the war.

Al-Mawasi has been hit with over 100 airstrikes since the start of the genocide in 2023, killing a total of 2,000 people, the media office went on to say.

Ciao a tutti 😀
Condividere il progetto su cui si sta lavorando può essere un buon modo per infondere coraggio a chi voglia cimentarsi nell’arte del cucito.

È poco che cucio, ma la passione si è trasformata in lavoro in poco tempo pur non cancellando come fosse il mio mondo in bianco e nero, senza ago e filo nella macchina o nelle mani, il mondo prima di adesso.

‘Cucire’ era mia nonna che aggiungeva i polsini alle giacche ormai troppo corte.

‘Cucire’ era un’amica speciale che per regalo di nozze mi scriveva una lettera chiusa da una busta cucita a mano con la scritta ‘Auguri!’, ricamata sul cartoncino.

‘Cucire’ era la sarta della merceria del paese che trasformava i pantaloni lisi dei miei figli in panta-toppe.

‘Cucire’ era tante cose, ma non ero io.

Oggi condivido invece i progetti su cui sto lavorando: delle camice di seta con taglio a kimono. Ancora mi chiedo come io mi sia ritrovata qui. Ma mi sento a casa. Una casa cucita su misura.

E voi, in che progetto state mettendo le mani? Rattoppate? Ricamate? Cucite scarpe scucite? Cucite per sopravvivere?

Aspetto di leggervi

Anche oggi è sabato, e quindi nuovamente non c’è nulla di interessante da dire qui. (Ma seriamente eh, non so perché i miei sabati sono così maledetti, solo in questo giorno sono così inispirata…) Per fortuna, di argomenti noiosi ne ho sempre qualcuno da parte, quindi per stavolta non soccomberò… magra consolazione. Beh, tra tante […]

impressioni con le unghie smolecolate in parti incontabili (non mi so tagliare le unghie e faccio i casinetti)

Anche oggi è sabato, e quindi nuovamente non c’è nulla di interessante da dire qui. (Ma seriamente eh, non so perché i miei sabati sono così maledetti, solo in questo giorno sono così inispirata…) Per fortuna, di argomenti noiosi ne ho sempre qualcuno da parte, quindi per stavolta non soccomberò… magra consolazione. Beh, tra tante cose inutili mi stavo in realtà chiedendo come mai quando mi taglio le unghie devo fare sempre un grosso casino; e ok, forse questa sotto sotto è un po’ divertente. 💥

In genere non ci penso, perché faccio direttamente tutto per terra; non nel senso che bacio il pavimento mentre mi taglio le unghie, ma semplicemente faccio cadere tutto per terra, perché è più comodo, perché non ho pezzi da raccogliere per buttare poi, semplicemente passo l’aspirapolvere e tanti saluti… che in effetti è un tipo di casino, ma non quello intrinseco che voglio dire in questo momento. Il vero casino, piuttosto, l’ho visto l’altra sera, perché essendo tardi non potevo aspirare ancora più tardi, e allora ho dovuto fare sulla scrivania, e… 🤪

Caspita, e questo è un casino. Perché fare il tagliamento in modo più o meno preciso con non più di un paio di colpi mi risulta sempre praticamente impossibile, e quindi a furia di fare si ottengono anche queste piccole briciole di unghia, a parte i pezzi grossi. E non sono per niente poche. Però mi chiedo se sia un problema mio, e in quel caso quindi non sarebbe altro che un problema di skill (ormai li colleziono quelli, non c’è un cazzo da fare!), o se la cosa è comune o quantomeno aspettata… anche perché non sono l’unica persona ad avere solo 2 mani in totale di cui solo 1 dominante, quindi potrei aspettarmi di non essere la sola ad avere difficoltà con il tagliare le unghie soprattutto (…ma non unicamente) sull’opposta. 😑

Il colmo, però, a questo punto, è che, nonostante tutta questa fatica, comunque le unghie vengono indecenti alla fine, se non uso anche la limetta… E anche a questo ci ho pensato solo stavolta, perché stavolta avevo dimenticato di farlo, essendo che la limetta la tengo nel cassetto, e quindi avrei dovuto alzarmi dalla scrivania per prenderla subito dopo aver finito con le forbici, ma sul momento mi seccavo, e più tardi mi sono dimenticata; quindi, quando il giorno dopo mi sono risvegliata, ho realizzato per bene. 😵
Con la foto, anche se pochino, si vede… e un’unghia l’ho fatta lievemente concava al centro (non so neanche io come!), e un’altra unghia l’ho fatta poco più corta sulla destra rispetto alla sinistra, e così via, e che fastidio!!! Menomale che la limetta aggiusta… però… mentre anche questo non è chiaro se sia un problema mio o no, il dimenticare passaggi e finire a fare le cose a pezzi metà un giorno e metà un altro è certamente indicazione di skill mancanti. (Morirò con cotanto fregio, si vede.) 💖
