Is Your Computer Posture Ruining Your Runs? Experts Give a Resounding Yes
Hunched shoulders and a rounded spine can throw off your gait, slow you down, and make breathing harder. Here’s how to fix bad posture for better running.Jenessa Connor (Runner's World)
"If you’re surprised, frankly, you’re a fool. You understand nothing about politics and international affairs, and you bought into obviously dishonest propaganda about who Donald Trump is."

If You Thought Donald Trump Would Never Do This, You’re an Idiot
The most pernicious delusion of this era has been the idea that Trump is “the peace president.” His decision to bomb Iran shatters this myth.The New Republic
"By the time he leaves office, Trump is going to go down as the biggest proliferator of nuclear weapons since 1945. Everybody’s going to want a hip pocket nuke or two, because they can all see the line of Donald Trump mini-me’s behind Trump to run for president, ready to blow up any and all reasonable deals the U.S. might make with potential nuclear powers in the future."

"This weekend, the world moved closer to catastrophe. …
According to a bombshell report from The New York Times, Trump acted not out of strategic necessity but based on how Israel’s assault on Iran was playing out on Fox News."

Bombs and Vibes: Trump Attacks Iran Without a Clue
Marco Rubio says intelligence isn’t necessary—and apparently, neither is sanity. America’s on the brink, and it's being steered by egos, not evidence.Danielle Moodie (The DAM Digest)
"Let that sink in: The President of the United States may have dragged the U.S. into a full-scale regional war to win a news cycle and distract from his plunging popularity."
#Trump #Iran #war #authoritarianism #autocrat #lies #disinformation #Fox
/21
"When Trump announced, via a Saturday evening bleet, that he had bombed Iranian nuclear sites, it put his most vocal fans in a quandary: Should they sacrifice any sense of ideological consistency to keep supporting Trump, or should they try to maintain some sense of self-respect and dignity by criticizing the man around whom they’ve built their careers?"

MAGA Doves Learn to Love The Bomb
War, what is it good for? Exposing some hypocrisy, for starters.Will Sommer (The Bulwark)
"For most, the choice hasn’t been particularly hard. With only a few exceptions, right-wing figures who had positioned themselves against the neocon war machine suddenly discovered a new enthusiasm for American military might."
Consistency? Respect? Dignity? Those words aren't in the MAGA vocabulary.

"A few closing notes from [Dan Rather], who has spent a fair portion of his life covering wars:
Truth IS the first casualty of war.
The first things you hear often are untrue, and so are many of the things you hear later.
Wars are by their very nature chaotic and unpredictable. What you most expect frequently does not happen; what you least expect often does."

I noticed that SeedVault has merged RoundSync integration (rclone Android client) somewhere in 2024, any chance we could get that in GrapheneOS?
Our focus is porting to Android 16. We have a lot of work to do and it's crucial to get it finished before July.
Seedvault updates must be reviewed to make sure vulnerabilities aren't introduced. We don't trust the upstream project and plan to completely fork away from it in the future including moving to a new format which won't be compatible with it. It will be called something else instead and a lot of functionality we didn't want will be removed along with a lot being added.

Wrote a thing about how AI tech currently has no path to create lasting value: ecosystemsandentrepreneurs.com…
Anyone who's worked in VC-backed startups consistently will recognize the cycle a majority of Big Tech and AI startups have bought into.
Their go-to is all the same: if what we're doing isn't working, we need a new narrative.
You start thinking your "market" is the mind-share of other people people running the same game as you, instead of customers.

There is no path to value for AI tech right now
It may be painful to hear, but AI tech currently has no path to create lasting value... Anyone who's worked in VC-backed startups consistently will recognize the cycle a majority of Big Tech and AI startups have bought into.Joe Cardillo (Ecosystems & Entrepreneurs)
When it comes to AI, tech execs & founders are choosing messaging/PR over product value
You can see this because they do the same two things over and over:
- Using fear/anxiety to sell the product instead of real change metrics or adoption
- Executives keep raising money/investing with no return in sight, all to keep pushing the news/narrative cycle forward
a la Meta/Facebook's "couldn't create intelligence so look over here, we're working on 'super intelligence'"

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday slammed attacks on Iran as “unprovoked” and “unjustified” in a meeting with Tehran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, but did not announce any concrete support to his key ally in the Middle East.
“This absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran is unjustified,” Putin said in televised remarks to Araghchi.
Putin has pitched himself as a mediator between Iran and Israel, an idea rejected by US President Donald Trump last week
I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured. Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
