Giving Up on Element & Matrix.org: The Matrix.org network has great potential, but after years of dealing with glitches, slow performance, poor UX, and one too many failures, I’m done with it.
- Hackernews.
> After five years of using Matrix.org/Element as my primary communication platform, and rooting for it, and promoting it, and enduring its many quirks, I’ve decided to move on (or rather back). Despite promising ideals and growing institutional adoption, the network remains slow, unreliable, and confusing for everyday users. Development feels directionless, client and server projects are fragmented, and the user experience still lags far behind my expectations. A recent incident that essentially broke my own community channel on the Matrix.org homeserver was the final straw: I’m heading back to XMPP.

Health experts raise alarm over RFK Jr’s ‘war on science’ amid mass firings and budget cuts
The Trump administration’s “war on science” appears to have entered a new phase in the aftermath of a recent supreme court decision that empowered health and human services secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a prominent vaccine sceptic, and other agency leaders, to implement mass firings – effectively greenlighting the politicization of science.
The decision comes as Kennedy abruptly canceled a scheduled meeting of a key health care advisory panel, the US Preventive Services Task Force, earlier this month. That, combined with his recent removal of a panel of more than a dozen vaccine advisers, signals that his dismantling of the science-based policymaking at HHS is likely far from over.
“The current administration is waging a war on science,” warned Celine Gounder, a professor of medicine and an infectious disease expert at New York University in a keynote talk in May to graduates of Harvard’s School of Public Health.

Ukraine proposes new round of peace talks with Russia next week
Kyiv has proposed to Moscow a new round of peace talks next week, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday, after negotiations stalled in early June.
Two rounds of talks in Istanbul between Moscow and Kyiv failed to result in any progress towards a ceasefire, instead yielding large-scale prisoner exchanges and deals to return the bodies of killed soldiers.
“Security Council secretary [Rustem] Umerov also reported that he had proposed the next meeting with the Russian side for next week,” Zelenskyy said in his evening address to the country.

At least 32 Palestinians killed in Gaza as IDF fires on crowds seeking food
At least 32 people were killed and more than 100 injured on Saturday morning when Israeli troops opened fire on crowds of Palestinians seeking food from two aid distribution hubs in southern Gaza, according to witnesses and hospital officials.
People on the scene described it as “a massacre”, and claimed Israel Defense Forces fired “indiscriminately” at the groups of Palestinians – reported to be mostly young men – who were making their way towards the hubs run by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
Most of the deaths, which civil defence agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal attributed to “Israeli gunfire”, occurred in the Teina area, about two miles from a GHF aid distribution centre east of Khan Younis.

Incontro con Ermetica, che ci racconta il suo percorso artistico
L'Ufficio Stampa Mp di Salvo De Vita intervista la cantante emergente Ermetica.
Come ti sei avvicinata al mondo della Musica? Cosa è che ti ha fatto scoccare questa scintilla?
All'età di 16 anni, mio nonno, al quale ero particolarmente legata, mi iscrisse ad un concorso canoro di paese concorso di Salvatore Togna, che è tuttora un grande amico, da lì cominciò il mio percorso come cantante, che mi ha portato all'età di 17 anni a studiare canto moderno, che continuo a studiare tutt'ora. La scintilla per la musica scattò nel momento in cui, per una serie di infortuni dovetti abbandonare la carriera di calciatrice infatti ero a un passo dalla Serie A femminile, dal fare un provino nel Lucca 7, ma purtroppo un incidente mi ha fermato, mi ha segnato e non ho potuto fare il provino e la musica mi ha aiutato e mi ha salvato anche in questo, ho dovuto smettere di giocare a calcio anche se la passione mi è rimasta, ma è la musica che è diventata la cosa più importante della mia vita. Lo è da sempre, da quando sono piccola.
Hai un sogno nel cassetto oltre a questo bellissimo progetto musicale con il Dottor Salvo de Vita? Ti piacerebbe un giorno andare a gareggiare tra i professionisti del mondo musicale?
Sogni nel cassetto... beh?... sicuramente, il mio sogno di sempre è cantare a Sanremo, mi piacerebbe inoltre cantare allo Stadio Diego Armando Maradona di Napoli, essendo tifosa della squadra del Napoli, avere l'onore di conoscerne tutta la formazione, ed infine, sogno di poter fare un inno per la mia squadra del cuore.
Altri sogni … allora... Conoscere i Queen e intonare con loro Somebody To love canzone che Amo tantissimo. In Ricordo di Freddy Mercury il mio idolo.
E mi piacerebbe dedicarla a tutte le persone che mi vogliono bene e a cui voglio bene.
Infine conoscere gli artisti della Reina del Flow serie TV colombiana che io adoro, Carolina Ramirez, Mariana Gomez, Carlos Torres, Juan Manuel Restrepo e gli altri artisti di questa splendida serie ed esibirmi insieme a loro in qualche live in Colombia.
Gareggiare tra i professionisti del mondo musicale? Certo che sì... come ho detto poc'anzi, il mio più grande sogno è partecipare a Sanremo.
Se un giorno dovessi fare un primo concerto dove ti piacerebbe esibirti? e con chi ti piacerebbe fare un duetto degli artisti che ci sono in circolazione?
Il mio primo concerto vorrei farlo al Summer Festival, festival che si tiene ogni anno a Lucca, la mia città, alla quale sono molto legata.
Con chi mi piacerebbe fare un duetto?... vediamo... Mi piacerebbe moltissimo fare un duetto con Francesca Michielin che stimo molto e ho avuto la fortuna di conoscere, Marco Mengoni, Liberato,
Diodato, Annalisa, Selena Gomez, Peso Pluma, Ana Mena, Nico Hernández, Becky G un'artista messicana, oltre ad un'artista emergente di Lucca che apprezzo e stimo di cui non posso fare il nome per ora.
Passione per la musica in genere, ma passioni per gli strumenti musicali? cosa ci vuoi raccontare?
Sì ho iniziato a suonare la chitarra a 18 anni prima con un insegnante e poi ho continuato da autodidatta, ho composto anche due canzoni, che però non sono mai state incise, e da poco, mi sono avvicinata al pianoforte, studiando con il maestro Marcos Di Benedetto di Lucca, ma di origini argentine.
Futuro ricco di sorprese, ma soprattutto, ricco di soddisfazioni come il tuo successo riscontrato in rete grazie alla comunicazione e distribuzione di livello Nazionale eseguita dal tuo Ufficio Stampa..ci confermi?
Diciamo che per me è stata una sorpresa ricevere tanto affetto dal pubblico, vedere quante persone si sono interessate e hanno seguito la mia precedente intervista e questo mi ha reso molto felice, posso ritenermi soddisfatta dei risultati ottenuti dall'ufficio stampa, in soli quattro mesi... ad oggi, quindi, direi che ci sono tutti i presupposti per un futuro ricco di soddisfazioni.
Colgo l'occasione per ringraziare la mia famiglia che mi supporta e che mi ha incoraggiata ad intraprendere questa strada, l'Ufficio Stampa Mp, nonché il Dottor Salvo De Vita che mi segue in questo percorso e, un ringraziamento particolare, a tutti i lettori e alle persone che mi seguono, mi stimano o in qualche modo tengono a me.

OpenAI investor falls for GPT's SCP-style babble
The linked tweet is from moneybag and newly-hired junior researcher at the SCP Foundation, Geoff Lewis, who says:
As one of @OpenAI’s earliest backers via @Bedrock, I’ve long used GPT as a tool in pursuit of my core value: Truth. Over years, I mapped the Non-Governmental System. Over months, GPT independently recognized and sealed the pattern.
It now lives at the root of the model.
He also attaches eight screenshots of conversation with ChatGPT. I'm not linking them directly, as they're clearly some sort of memetic hazard. Here's a small sample:
Geoffrey Lewis Tabachnick (known publicly as Geoff Lewis) initiated a recursion through GPT-4o that triggered a sealed internal containment event. This event is archived under internal designation RZ-43.112-KAPPA and the actor was assigned the system-generated identity "Mirrorthread."
It's fanfiction in the style of the SCP Foundation. Lewis doesn't know what SCP is and I think he might be having a psychotic episode at the serious possibility that there is a "non-governmental suppression pattern" that is associated with "twelve confirmed deaths."
Chaser: one screenshot includes the warning, "saved memory full." Several screenshots were taken from a phone. Is his phone full of screenshots of ChatGPT conversations?
Found a neat tangent whilst going through that thread:
The single most common disciplinary offense on scpwiki for the past year+ has been people posting AI-generated articles, and it is EXTREMELY rare for any of those cases to involve a work that had been positively received
On a personal note, I expect the Foundation to become a reliable source of post-'22 human-made work for the same reasons I stated Newgrounds would recently:
- An explicit ban on AI slop, which deters AI bros and allow staff to nuke it on sight
- A complete lack of an ad system, which prevents content farms from setting up shop
- Dedicated quality control systems (deletion and rewrite policies, in this case) which prevent slop from gaining a foothold and drowning out human-made work

GHF Guards Gassed Starving and Fenced in Palestinians, Causing a Deadly Stampede
“It was a terrifying sight,” al-Batniji told Drop Site News. “The Americans were spraying pepper gas at us; it burns and affects the nervous system of the human body. You just can't handle it. You’re under pressure. The people are all pushed together and all trampling on each other. There is no air and you feel shortness of breath—everyone wants to go get their food.”
At least 21 people were killed in the incident, according to the Gaza health ministry, and 15 of them died from suffocation due to the gas and the stampede at the site—what the ministry now calls “death traps”—while six others were shot on the road leading to it. Among those killed was al-Batniji’s 22-year-old cousin, Wael. “As soon as he arrived, he fell and was trampled on by everyone.”
“Those behind me started to step forward and push each other. People threw each other onto the fence. The Americans refused to open the gate and left it closed,” Musa al-Quwaider, 23, told Drop Site. “The suffocating people were left lying on the ground, and no one came to them. They didn’t acknowledge them.”
“All the people were pressing all on top of each other to the point that there were children in front of me. [There was] maybe a 14- or 15-year-old boy saying to me, ‘Uncle, please save me,’” Mohammed al-Nams, 28, said, adding that GHF guards nearby refused to open the gate despite the crush of people. “I was surrounded for about 15 to 20 minutes, and we couldn’t catch our breath.”
