This should get way more attention: the creation of more obscenely rich people on the back of not only the poorest nations in the world, but also to the detriment of the civil society who is actually financing those aids via their taxes, and democratic values everywhere.

America's largest power grid is struggling to meet demand from AI

Einer dieser Indikatoren, dafür wie kaputt heute alles ist, ist ja dass keine Suche mehr "keine Ergebnisse" liefert.
Das wäre ja auch furchtbar!
Seinerzeit, zu meiner Zeit, war es ja mal üblich korrekte Ergebnisse zu liefern. So sehr dass es #Googlewhack als Begriff für Google-Suchen nach zwei geläufigen Wörtern gab, die zusammen nur genau EIN Ergebnis lieferten.
Stattdessen heute mal im PlayStore nach "pleroma" suchen? Erstes Ergebnis ein einigermaßen tauglicher Client, ein weiterer halber, dann totaler Schrott, Malware und unten am Bildschirmrand weitere Werbung. Auf Seite 3 kommt dann noch ein halb-funktionsfähiger Client und auf Seite 7 der nächste.
Vergleich #FDroid? Drei Ergebnisse die 'pleroma' tatsächlich in ihrer Beschreibung stehen haben.
Du musst dich schon anstrengen um eine schlechtere Suche als FDroid zu bauen, aber als Such-Gigant und Marktführer schafft man das natürlich. /s

even weirder:
1️⃣ pleroma
2️⃣ "pleroma"
give different results
Me:
Hey playstore show at least 1 result from the results I got from [pleroma] in ["pleroma"]
Play: sorry, can't oblige
Me: Wait, do you mean that the query [pleroma] is completely different from ["pleroma"]??
Play: It's not the same thing.
Me: IT IS.
Play: WRONG! GOODBYE!
Anyway, both these screenshots with ALT text show the difference.
Also no result in one search appears in the other

I prefer Vivaldi because of its customization, world class favorites/link syncing, beautiful design, best in class notes, tasks, and calendar integration.
My favorite features are the desktop on the new tab (which is open on my desktop much of the day) and the favorites bar which open links with one click. Many browsers strive to be the 'OS of the web', but only Vivaldi truly achieves that in my opinion.
Privacy, features, convenience.

Banking on AI while committed to net zero is ‘magical thinking’, claims report on energy costs of big tech
"By 2040, the energy demands of the tech industry could be up to 25 times higher than today, with unchecked growth of data centres driven by AI expected to create surges in electricity consumption that will strain power grids and accelerate carbon emissions."

The European Central Bank modelled the economic risks of a series of climate disasters in a row.
If we’re unlucky in the next few years:
“a series of extreme climate events could cause euro area GDP to fall by up to 5% – a downturn similar in magnitude to the economic impact of the Global Financial Crisis.”

So. The far-right in the EU parliament pushed for a vote of no confidence on Ursula von der Leyen and thus the @EUCommission
In support: 175 votes
Against: 360 votes
Abstain: 18 votes
So while I agree that von der Leyen is not the transparent force of democracy she should be, I am satisfied that this far-right Attacke went nowhere.
