bentornamento dell’NHK leggendo senza ritegno per far marcire il tempismo


Prendendo quasi al volo l’occasione di averlo caricato su TomoStash l’altro giorno (dove ci è finito semplicemente perché avevo già il file da parte scaricato, che ha preso molta polvere dato che non avevo mai trovato il momento giusto per leggerlo), stasera ho preso da parte il mio momento più marcio per iniziare a leggere quel “capolavoro accidentale” che è Welcome to the NHK, storia di cui avevo consumato solo l’adattamento anime… La situazione scaturita è finora surreale come al solito, e i pianeti che si sono allineati affinché le cose andassero così (nella misura in cui il loro movimento influenza costantemente ed inevitabilmente la mia esistenza) lo sapevano persino ben prima di tracciare la propria traiettoria nello spazio, che il doloroso universo in cui vivo io e quello di Satō si sarebbero toccati già per i primi fondamentali attimi. 🙏

Ero fuori verso inizio sera (cosa certamente non tipica per una hikikomori, ma io non sono ciò; io sono per molti versi ben peggio, e solo all’immediata apparenza più socialmente accettabile), poco prima di tornare a casa, mentre cercavo di scrivere delle bozze non molto sensate sul mio telefono; gira che mi rigira, mi escono solo stronzate. Al che, dal niente, penso “basta!” e vado immediatamente sul mio sito piratista, immaginando che sia molto meglio abbandonarmi alla lettura, se proprio devo distrarmi con le parole, piuttosto che impazzire in quel modo. Le uniche alternative sensate sarebbero state togliere il telefono dalle mani (“prova a non morire challenge”), aprire Duolingo, o aprire qualche puzzle game, ma nessuna di quelle opzioni sul momento mi interessava minimamente; quindi, meglio leggere per dimenticare… cioè, per passare 10 minuti… e scelgo proprio quel romanzo leggero, che pur conoscendo dall’anime, essendo passati molti anni, ricordo abbastanza male da giustificare al quadrato questa lettura. 🥁

È incredibile allora come, prima iniziando a leggere, poi tornando a casa, le energie dell’inizio della storia e quella della mia anima stiano perfettamente combaciando. Non faccio assolutamente spoiler — perché, anche se l’opera è vecchia e ben localizzata in italiano, pare che in realtà relativamente poca gente la conosca, e personalmente consiglio fortemente di recuperarla in una delle tante forme sotto cui è disponibile — ma Satō ha perfettamente ragione. È incredibile quanto la gente per strada ci guardi storti (anche se pare che a me non sussurrino nulla alle spalle) e, nonostante nel mio caso questo probabilmente non sarà abbastanza per farmi abbandonare l’università, certamente le basi più astratte e generalizzate di causa ed effetto le abbiamo in comune: la più assoluta ed irrisolvibile condizione di reclusione sociale in senso lato. E quindi, se lui passa 16 ore al giorno sotto al kotatsu a dormire, io che vivo in Italia (dove i こたつ non si usano) e sono in estate (dove i コタツ non si usano) potrei tristemente finire 16 ore al giorno a bedrottare, con una mano su un tomo e l’altra che graffia la parete o mi distrugge i capelli… 🕷️

Sulla fine del momento di lettura — che già mi ha fatta arrivare ad 1/4 del libro — però, comunque, mi era salito un mal di testa tanto strano quanto particolarmente fastidioso. L’emicrania lieve così mi viene quando passo 10 ore di fila davanti al PC a programmare software che nessuno mai userà (inclusa la sottoscritta dopo qualche settimana…), non dovrebbe venirmi per aver passato si e no un’ora e mezza sul letto tranquilla a leggere; per giunta, con il Kindle, e non un maledetto dispositivo con tremendo schermo distruggi-retine LCD od OLED! Ma forse sono semplicemente fuori allenamento, e il mio cervello si fonde a leggere così tanto tutto di fila. Tanto poi mi è passato tutto dopo aver cenato, ma non sono sicura se è perché avevo fame e l’ho placata, o semplicemente è perché ho staccato un attimo… anche perché, perdendomi nel leggere, la fame mi era passata di mente; cazzo se i libri saziano seriamente più della materia organica commestibile… e se fungono da grandissimo copium…

What's a good instance to be on at the moment?


I'm looking for a new instance since lemm.ee is closing by the end of the month. What's a good instance to be on these days?

I'm looking for a instance with the fewest trolls, bots, and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes.

in reply to lemmyingly

Since you mention you have no real opinions about lemm.ee.
You were just on there by chance.

I’ll propose you the style of blahaj which is to have downvotes disabled, its quite a different way to interact with lemmy, maybe a bit weird to get used to. But it feels much less hostile. And it fosters a good culture of just ignoring shitty takes and replies.

As far as “no extremes” you mentioned you prefer, blahaj blocks lemmygrad and hexbear (ultra authoritarians) and any far right instance (think hilariouschaos)

TPB is still around, only magnet links are around. They were hosting torrent files which is basically a list of trackers. That's what they had to drop, in order to continue functioning. And their DNS is still banned like from almost every westernized country.

Regardless of technicalities, they were #1 biggest player. (Today they are like #3 or #5?) What I mean to say, is that they got busted mainly because of this. To make an example.

Boards as in breadboards, I guess. That title assumes the reader will have a certain context.

I got excited thinking it was about managing board activity for nonprofits formed by developers.

Still, seems like a nice tool for people who do breadboarding!

Hah, even that context wasn't enough for me. At first, I was thinking of a project management board like kanban, saw your comment and was confused, apparently its for baking? Nope, wrong kind of "bread" board lol.


Oggi, 18 giugno, nel 1928, è dato per disperso l'esploratore Roald Amundsen


Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen (Borge, 16 luglio 1872 – Mar Glaciale Artico, 18 giugno 1928) è stato un esploratore norvegese delle regioni polari. Condusse la prima spedizione capace di raggiungere il Polo sud nel 1911-1912.
Dopo essere stato informato dell'incidente del dirigibile Italia a bordo del quale si trovavano l'esploratore italiano Umberto Nobile e il suo equipaggio, il 18 giugno 1928 Amundsen salì a bordo dell'idrovolante francese Latham 47 e andò generosamente in loro soccorso, nonostante le forti discussioni avute con l'italiano riguardo ai meriti della precedente avventura aeronautica con il dirigibile N1-Norge. Durante le ricerche, effettuate sopra i cieli del Mare Glaciale Artico, il mezzo scomparve nelle acque del mare di Barents senza mai essere ritrovato. Le numerose ricerche non ebbero alcun esito.

Iran frustrated UN nuclear agency yet to condemn Israeli attacks


Iran wants the IAEA to do its job but the agency is yet to issue a condemnation of Israel’s actions.

Under international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, attacking nuclear sites is banned. It is a violation of international law. That is the first thing Israel did – attack Natanz, Isfahan and now Tehran. These nuclear facilities are under constant attack.

There’s still no condemnation from the agency. When Russia invaded Ukraine, and there was fighting around Zaporizhzhia, one of the first things the agency did was condemn the attacks in the vicinity of the nuclear facility because it poses great risk. They have yet to condemn Israel.

in reply to geneva_convenience

The first mistake was the agency allowed the United States to join it.

Because for better or worse. Tanky central is the flagship development server for the Lemmy software. And if as an admin you want your issues or concerns to at least pretend to be heard. You must give the campist undue deference.

Your server at least also has a piefed interface. Don't know if world ever will. Though I definitely would encourage it.

in reply to Eldritch

It seems to have worked out fine for lemmy.cafe and dubvee to defederate.
But no major instance has dared.

Even if they are criminal, you still protect them. You people are fucking nuts. Even I would dump Pierre if I knew he was sour, but y’all a bunch of idiots protecting a pos just because he aligns with your beta bitch idiopathic-ideology.

War With Iran: Made in Britain? [Kit Klarenberg]


On June 14th, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer bragged he was moving the country’s military assets and fighter jets to West Asia, to provide “contingency support in the region” in response to Iran’s counterattack on the Zionist entity. Asked by Sky News if he ruled out direct military involvement, he evasively responded, “I’m not getting into that.” He also refused to clarify whether Tel Aviv gave London any advance warning of its criminal, unprovoked strike on Tehran a day prior:
“These are obviously operational decisions and the situation is ongoing and developing…I’m not going to go into what information we had at the time or since. But we discuss these things intensely with our allies.”

On June 15th, Chancellor Rachel Reeves was less ambiguous, openly declaring British military assets could “potentially” be used to defend Israel, and the government was “not ruling anything out,” noting Britain had previously “supported Israel when there had been missiles coming in.” She explicitly framed London’s interest in the conflict as driven by the threat of rising oil prices, and trade route disruption, placing further pressure on the country’s already collapsing economy.

Yet, there have been ominous indications for some time Britain has sought to ignite a wider conflict across West Asia - and all-out war between Iran and Israel, and its Western puppetmasters, upon the precipice of which we now teeter, has been London’s objective all along. On October 8th 2023, just over 24 hours after Palestinian freedom fighters breached Gaza’s concentration camp walls, veteran client ‘journalist’ Robert Peston took to ‘X’ to publish explosive insight provided to him by nameless “government and intelligence sources”:

“Hamas’ attack on Israel has the potential to be as destabilising to global security as Putin’s attack on Ukraine…[Benjamin] Netanyahu is highly likely to retaliate. Biden and the US would try to limit the scope of any Israeli strike on Iran, but would neither want or be able to veto it. There is a risk of this crisis spreading well beyond the Middle East…We are in the early stages of a conflict with ramifications for much of the world.”

At this point, the shape and scale of Tel Aviv’s response to Operation AlAqsa Flood was far from certain. Zionist Occupation Forces did not even enter Gaza until five days hence. We therefore must ask ourselves how British intelligence could’ve correctly forecast with such alacrity that Israel’s impending genocide of the Palestinians would cause mass tumult not merely in West Asia, but globally, and potentially culminate with conflict with Iran.

Britain has-long maintained a watchful eye on Hezbollah’s military wing from a GCHQ listening post on Cyprus’ Mount Olympus. October 2023 mainstream media reports justified this spying on the basis London was deeply concerned about the Resistance group attacking the Zionist entity. Did the British know Tel Aviv intended to launch an intensive air and ground campaign against Beirut, which came to pass a year later? Was the attempted occupation of Lebanon by British forces intended to prepare for that eventuality?

With hindsight, there are unambiguous, deeply ominous insinuations that Britain has played a key role, both overtly and covertly, in shaping the theatre in West Asia for industrial scale upheaval ever since October 7th 2023. In addition to London’s opaque conniving in Lebanon pre-invasion, Bashar Assad’s government fell in Syria in December 2024. At the time, Benjamin Netanyahu took - but subsequent disclosures indicate MI6 were grooming Assad’s replacements, Al Qaeda and ISIS-offshoot Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, for power since at least 2023.

It must also not be forgotten that today’s standoff between Israel and Iran results from an August 1953 coup in Tehran. Orchestrated by MI6, it removed popular, democratically elected, anti-imperialist leader Mossad Mossadeq from power, and installed the brutal reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, which resultantly led to the 1979 Iranian Revolution and Islamic Republic’s creation. Due to Britain’s expulsion by Mossadeq, London had to rely on the CIA to do the bulk of the in-country work.

Initially, the Agency, along with the State Department and White House, was opposed to the plot. However, after falsely being led to believe by MI6 a well-developed plan with a certain chance of success had been drawn up, and the Eisenhower administration being offered a hefty chunk of BP’s profits once Mossadeq’s nationalisation of Iranian oil was reversed, the CIA acquiesced. Mossadeq’s removal was quite some victory. Towards the end of World War II, a Foreign Office official lamented how post-conflict Britain would “be expected to take her place as junior partner in an orbit of power predominantly under American aegis.”

Ever since, London’s political, military, intelligence and security apparatus has been overwhelmingly concerned with exploiting and manipulating that aegis for its own ends. The 1953 Iran coup showed MI6, and their controllers in London, precisely how to very effectively steer the bigger, richer, more powerful US Empire in directions of its own choosing. For the British, the past 60 years have been an unending battle to repeat that success.

I don't know if it's the same in Europe, but here in Canada, I've only seen the option to trade in old phones when you're buying one of the fancier phones with a bunch of bells and whistles I don't need. There no way they would give me enough for this phone to make up for the price difference.

Also, 40 months is an unusually long time to be holding on to the same phone? What?

[JS] The OpenAI Files Document Broken Promises, Safety Compromises, Conflicts of Interest, and Leadership Concerns


Major Areas of Concern:

::: spoiler Restructuring: Analysis of planned changes to the nonprofit's relationship with its for-profit subsidiary

  • OpenAI plans to remove limits on investor returns: OpenAI once capped investor profits at a maximum of 100x to ensure that, if the company succeeds in building AI capable of automating all human labor, the proceeds would go to humanity. They have now announced plans to remove that cap.
  • OpenAI portrays itself as preserving nonprofit control while potentially disempowering the nonprofit: OpenAI claims to have reversed course on a decision to abandon nonprofit control, but the details suggest that the nonprofit’s board would no longer have all the authority it would need to hold OpenAI accountable to its mission.
  • Investors pressured OpenAI to make structural changes: OpenAI has admitted that it is making these changes to appease investors who have made their funding conditional on structural reforms, including allowing unlimited returns—exactly the type of investor influence OpenAI’s original structure was designed to prevent.
    :::


::: spoiler CEO Integrity: Concerns regarding leadership practices and misleading representations from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

  • Senior employees have attempted to remove Altman at each of the three major companies he has run: Senior employees at Altman’s first startup twice urged the board to remove him as CEO over “deceptive and chaotic” behavior, while at Y Combinator, he was forced out and accused of absenteeism and prioritizing personal enrichment.
  • Altman claimed ignorance of a scheme to coerce employees into ultra-restrictive NDAs: However, he signed documents giving OpenAI the authority to revoke employees’ vested equity if they didn’t sign the NDAs.
  • Altman repeatedly lied to board members: For example, Altman stated that the legal team had approved a safety process exemption when they had not, and he reported that one board member wanted another board member removed when that was not the case.
    :::


::: spoiler Transparency & Safety: Concerns regarding safety processes, transparency, and organizational culture at OpenAI

  • OpenAI coerced employees into signing highly restrictive NDAs threatening their vested equity: Former OpenAI employees faced highly restrictive non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements that threatened the loss of all vested equity if they ever criticized the company, even after resigning.
  • OpenAI has rushed safety evaluation processes: OpenAI rushed safety evaluations of its AI models to meet product deadlines and significantly cut the time and resources dedicated to safety testing.
  • OpenAI insiders described a culture of recklessness and secrecy: OpenAI employees have accused the company of not living up to its commitments and systematically discouraging employees from raising concerns.
    :::


::: spoiler Conflicts of Interest: Documenting potential conflicts of interest of OpenAI board members

  • OpenAI’s nonprofit board has multiple seemingly unaddressed conflicts of interest: While OpenAI defines ‘independent’ directors as those without OpenAI equity, the board appears to overlook conflicts from members' external investments in companies that benefit from OpenAI partnerships.
  • CEO Sam Altman downplayed his financial interest in OpenAI: Despite once claiming to have no personal financial interest in OpenAI, much of Altman’s $1.6 billion net worth is spread across investments in OpenAI partners including Retro Biosciences and Rewind AI, which stand to benefit from the company’s continued growth.
  • No recusals announced for critical restructuring decision: Despite these conflicts, OpenAI has not announced any board recusals for the critical decision of whether they will restructure and remove profit caps, unlocking billions of dollars in new investment.
