It appears that Labour in the UK has chosen short-termism (prioritizing economic growth) over long tern survival (reducing greenhouse gas emissions). The basic decision to reject taxing the rich tends to lead to a bouquet of short-term optimizations that dump the costs on climate disaster over the next few decades.

It’s fascinating to see the difference between how Marc Andreessen and Sam Altman both pitch AI replacing human workers.

Altman argues that when it does happen, we will need a new social contract (e.g. UBI). Andressen disagrees and claims everything will be so cheap it’ll essentially be free.

Still even if goods & services only cost pennies, how will we buy things without jobs, Marc?

in reply to Dare Obasanjo

Marc is arguing cheer lunacy no company would suffer a drop in prices like that and in fact if you look at the price prices of the fundamentals like food housing utilities they’re not going down.

Mark is living in fantasy land. Sam is also living in fantasy land. People like them if they had no use for humans would simply get rid of them. That is get rid of us. That’s something they fully expect their AGI that they babble about to accomplish.

They expect it to kill us

The Murder of John Lang: A Cautionary Tale on the Importance of Online Privacy


I want to share a deeply concerning story that highlights the critical importance of online privacy, especially for activists and those who speak out against authority. The death of John Lang, a well-known figure in the Fresno activist community, raises serious questions about surveillance, privacy, and the potential consequences of being targeted by law enforcement.

John was found stabbed inside a burning home, and what’s particularly alarming is that just days before his death, he expressed fears that Fresno law enforcement was stalking him and might end his life. He had been vocal about his experiences with police harassment, including a disturbing pattern of unethical practices by Fresno law enforcement, such as scanning license plates in retail parking lots to generate revenue.

In his efforts to protest these injustices, John posted his thoughts on the Fresno Bee, believing he was doing so anonymously. However, it later came to light that an employee at the Fresno Bee was sharing identifiable information (IP addresses) with law enforcement, leading to John being targeted. This tragic situation serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities we face when we do not take proper precautions to protect our online privacy.

John’s case illustrates the dangers of not using tools like VPNs or Tor for online activism. Had he utilized these privacy measures, he might have been able to shield his identity from those who sought to silence him.

This tragic story serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of online exposure for activists. We must learn from John’s experience and recognize the importance of safeguarding our privacy in an increasingly surveilled world.

Is it American police or American mafia?
So better not to trust any feds at all.

Awful. Rest in peace.

Thank you for this story, but anyway, "we have nothing to hide"

P.S. US once were a "police of the world" so I think it's harder to hide your identity (in case of privacy and legal things) there, or I'm wrong?

Took my son to McDonald’s today after not going for years and was shocked at the price of a cheeseburger. So I looked it up and a cheeseburger went from $1 to $3 over the course of Biden’s presidency.

I can see why people voted for Trump since Democrats didn’t even acknowledge this problem.

Unfortunately for those voters, not only does he have no plan to lower prices, many of his policies are just going to make the problem worse.

in reply to Dare Obasanjo

There is also this rather interesting distinction between how economists define inflation, which is a price change and how people defined it in their daily lives.

That definition is stuff we can’t afford anymore or stuff we have no hope of ever affording.

When there’s a spike that lifts prices by 10% or whatever and we just don’t go up with them, people are permanently underwater. Worse, the fan is sure to kill any hope of wage improvement. The Fed is out to kill prosperity.

This is cherry picking. Wherever you got those facts they give an incorrect conclusion.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics

"The BLS also found that prices in "limited-service restaurants" [fast food] increased by 47% since 2014."

So your McDonalds meal is likely at most 50% more than 2021.

That's an increase, and there was a lot of inflation coming out of Covid, but it is not 300% 2020 prices.

I have talked about accessibility a lot here. But now, it's my turn to ask some questions! I fully admit to being guilty of not capitalising the first letter of each word when writing tags, unless said words are usually capitalised. As a screen reader user, I do realise this can lead to confusion. But are searches on Friendica and elsewhere in the Fediverse case sensitive? If I write goodwriting will it show up in the same listings as GoodWriting? If not, which should I follow, and what about single words, such as writing, which screen readers say correctly? Should I capitalise those (or not) for consistancy?

#accessibility #blind #Fediverse #Friendica #hashtags #screenreaders

in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I know that mastodon hashtags aren't case sensitive, so the capitalization variants all point to the same content. I would expect friendica to be the same, but I'm not sure.
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

hashtags should by convention be camel case, so the first word is not capitalised, while all the others are, so if your hashtag is just one word, it falls in the first word rule, which means it doesn't have to be capitalised. Because of this however, hashtag searches on the fediverse are case sensitive

A nighttime street scene, brightly lit by numerous streetlights, shows a curved roadway with a low concrete wall and seating area to the left. The seating has some graffiti. A silver car is visible in the background, parked near a stone monument. Trees line the street, and power lines stretch across the scene. The buildings in the distance are softly lit.

Why is it that people I know who decide to jump into #Linux for the first time go for Garuda? I mean, there's nothing wrong with it per-se, but it's also not an incredibly user friendly distro for first timers. Vim should not be a default, it should be an opt into, for example. Flatpacks should not be pushed over native packages, and yet they are (and then they cause issues as a result!)

Just... ugh.
