So this morning its worth noting that for the first time in history the three 'Great Offices' of the British Govt. - Home, and Foreign Secretaries, and Chancellor - are now all held by women.

Starmer's reshuffle may present some political risks & challenges to the newly appointed, but lets just pause for a minute just to celebrate this latest first for women in politics....

Agreed.

Then again, let's not close our eyes as to what they are going to do in due course of their offices.

@kiwi2002

Agreed, it would a classic case of gender essentialism if we just presumed that they will be fairer, or more 'enlightened'.... the proof will be in what these women actually do.... but I'm enough of a believer in Feminist Standpoint that I would hope they'd come at these roles a little differently (even if Yvette Cooper has been a grave disappointment)



Open war against #Crimean #Tatars began long before russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine

russia resorted to a new level of savagery and lawlessness in September 2021, with two young Crimean Tatars, Asan and Aziz Akhtemov, savagely tortured

russia’s war against Ukraine began on 27 February 2014, with its offensive against Crimean Tatars beginning immediately afterwards.

La formación en inteligencia artificial se dispara: miles de personas se apuntan al curso gratuito de Google


La llegada de la inteligencia artificial ha supuesto todo un revulsivo para el mundo laboral: y es que en muy poco tiempo se ha integrado dentro de muchas empresas, lo que ha supuesto muchos beneficios, pero también ha despertado diversas inquietudes. La principal preocupación de muchos trabajadores con respecto a la IA es particularmente el hecho de que pueda destruir muchos empleo: de hecho, uno de cada tres teme que esta tecnología pueda sustituir su empleo según el último informe sobre las skills del futuro publicado por Santander. De hecho, el experto en tecnología Amjad Masad vaticinó en el podcast El Diario de un CEO, presentado por Steven Bartlett, que los trabajos consistentes en tareas repetitivas y estructuradas son los que probablemente sean eliminados por la IA ya que "la IA puede asumir con eficacia aquellas tareas predecibles que no requieren juicio humano ni imaginación". No obstante, para profesionales como Juan Lombana, profesional de la IA y extrabajador de Google, lo que puede hacer que pierdas tu empleo no es la IA sino no saber usarla. Así mismo, el experto señala que empresas y trabajadores han de evitar ponerse a usar la IA a lo loco sino que hay comenzar formándose adecuadamente para usarla de forma inteligente. En este sentido, es vital formarse, leer, tomar cursos y poner en práctica lo aprendido. ¿Cómo es el curso gratuito de Google en inteligencia artificial? Una forma de empezar a hacerlo, y sin pagar un euro, es a través de , el curso gratuito "Domina la IA con Gemini", creado por EDUCA EDTECH Group en colaboración con Google y que según ha informado la organización ha recibido miles de inscripciones en apenas unas semanas. La formación, disponible en español y en formato audiovisual en la plataforma My LXP, acerca a cualquier persona el uso de Gemini, el modelo de IA generativa más avanzado de Google. El curso tiene una duración de una hora y está pensado para ser práctico: se centra en mostrar cómo aplicar la inteligencia artificial en tareas cotidianas, desde la automatización de procesos hasta el desarrollo de soluciones inteligentes y la colaboración en tiempo real con modelos generativos. Sin horarios y a tu ritmo Para poder participar en esta formación no es necesidad de tener conocimientos previos ni tener ningún tipo de formación especíica. Esto es porque el objetivo del curso es facilitar a todo tipo de personas que puedan integrar la inteligencia artificial en su vida ya que para EDUCA EDTECH y Google funciona a día de hoy como "un idioma universal". Este curso es, además, online y puedes hacerlo a tu ritmo y sin horarios específicos, lo que garantiza que puedas conciliarlo perfectamente con tu trabajo, estudios y/o vida familiar. Todo ello garantizando el rigor y que se pueda aplicar inmediatamente todo lo aprendido; es decir, que todo lo adquirido en el curso se va a poder utilizar desde el minuto uno: es un programa 100% práctico, por tanto.

CD copy of It’s Blitz! (2009) by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

This is the album where they reinvented themselves. Less punk snarl, more art-pop polish—but still unmistakably them. Critics ate it up, and fans mostly did too. I get why: tracks like “Zero” and “Heads Will Roll” are stone-cold classics.

But the mastering? Brutal. Crushed dynamics, loudness pushed way past the red. It’s exhausting to sit through with headphones. And yet, the bonus tracks—four stripped-down acoustic cuts—sound phenomenal, simply because they’re allowed to breathe.

Proof, once again, that louder doesn’t mean better. If you’re going to live with this album long-term, the vinyl is almost certainly the way to go.

You can name your price, or you can download for free and give some money to someone in Gaza yourself. 😀 I hope these songs will renew your hope that one day Palestine will be free.

Destroying the union is exactly what these people want. This is the Confederacy trying to secede.once again. Those of us who believe in the Constitution's "We the people, in order form a more perfect union...." don't like that.



This week's US #COVID19 update is a quick five-minute read. Highlights:

- COVID is rising but may be nearing a summer peak.
- Risks are almost 2x greater in the South and West than in the Northeast and Midwest.
- Studies published in the past 4 months prove each reinfection raises chronic health risks.

Here is a screenshot of what you see if you try to go to the US Department of Defense's website. Its URL is now redirecting to "www.war.gov", its name is "US Department of War" and it carries a main headline that Trump has renamed them to Department of War.

Congress has taken no action about this, it was entirely due to an order by Trump.

This brings up a couple of questions:

- Where are all the useful idiots who claimed Trump was the candidate of peace?

- Where are all the legal pundits who claimed Trump cannot do this without Congress?

I don't know about the idiots, but hopefully the rest of those are contributing to lawsuits. including a few U.S. congressmen that I can think of. This guy is now infringing again upon the powers of Congress as defined in the U.S. Constitution and somebody ought to be screaming bloody murder! No, sorry, EVERYBODY ought to be screaming bloody murder!

'Open is onafhankelijk.' Met die boodschap opende Gabriele Columbro (Linux Foundation Europe ) zijn keynote tijdens de Open Source Summit Europe 2025 in RAI Amsterdam. Drie dagen lang stond digitale soevereiniteit centraal.

De summit bracht scherpe inzichten en eerlijke gesprekken voort op vragen als: wat betekent het als onze overheidsdata draait op buitenlandse systemen? En, wat is er nodig om open source écht als strategisch instrument in te zetten binnen Europa?

"
Digitale soevereiniteit was hét thema van de Open Source Summit Europe 2025 in Amsterdam. Terwijl de EU zoekt naar meer onafhankelijkheid van techgiganten[..]"

Saillant detail: de Open Source Summit Europe hoofdsponsors waren Amazon AWS, Microsoft, Google en OpenEuler.

Er is nog een lange weg te gaan als we een conferentie over EU tech soevereiniteit moeten laten sponsoren door precies die partijen waar we onafhankelijker van willen worden. Of was dat juist een hele sluwe hack?
