The video captures a scene at a water park where a person in a bright neon green shirt and red shorts is assisting two individuals seated in a yellow inflatable tube at the entrance of a large, purple water slide with a green interior. The slide is designed with a circular tunnel at the end, and the surrounding area is wet, indicating the presence of water. The person in the neon shirt is seen pushing the tube towards the tunnel entrance, ensuring the individuals are properly positioned. As the tube enters the tunnel, the person in the neon shirt follows closely behind, guiding the tube through the tunnel. The video concludes with the tube and its occupants disappearing into the tunnel, with water splashing around the entrance. The background includes a rocky structure and lush greenery, suggesting an outdoor setting. The video captures the excitement and fun of the water slide experience, with the bright colors and dynamic movement adding to the lively atmosphere.

This is not a defense of some of the worst things about Dubai, Singapore (exploitation of migrant workers etc), but Momtaza Mehri articulates something I agree with:
Many in the โwestโ do not believe that other places have more than โone storyโ, but allow or demand nuance for themselves. I was especially annoyed when someone here was like โDubai chocolate sucks, Dubai sucksโ. All of those things can suck (like when you get a bad Dubai chocolate and say all of it is bad; and Dubai does suck) but then that person doubled down and say they couldnโt support anything with that name, everyone who lives there sucks.
Many of my friends who live there fled from wars that you started, denied visas by your countries.
Everyoneโs got an opinion about the city. But few in the west know the multicultural, unusual Dubai that Iโve seen up close, says poet Momtaza Mehri

I have mixed feelings about this article. The writer, a longtime New Yorker employee, eventually comes to the right conclusion: that human minds are original and โnever say quite what you expectโ, whereas AI is unoriginal & often cliched. But I found myself annoyed that this comes from a position of enormous media privilege. Kind of the worst of both worlds. Most bloggers these days have little hope of being part of the cultural conversation, thanks to algorithms and AI. newyorker.com/magazine/2025/09โฆ

I'm so sorry to hear that. I have been kind of worried about that sort of thing with the fediverse, as it really does affect people who create artwork.

The image displays a server status check page for the website "aur.archlinux.org." The page is divided into two main sections. On the left, there is a placeholder image with a camera icon and the text "No screenshot available." On the right, there is a detailed status report. The report includes the following information: "Website Name: Aur," "URL Checked: aur.archlinux.org," "Response Time: no response," and "Down For: ~46 mins." The status is prominently displayed in red text as "DOWN," with a message stating "Aur.archlinux.org is DOWN for everyone. It is not just you. The server is not responding..." Below this message, there is a "Report an Issue" button. The overall layout is clean and straightforward, with a blue header and white background.

(1) the increasingly authoritarian US government demanded that Google suppress videos serving the public interest because those videos are embarrassing to government officials, and
(2) Google readily over-complied with that request, deleting not just the videos but the entire channel.
Spelling out the point of the snark there: the the post is not about what platform heโs using; itโs about the behavior of the US government and Google.
@cockneylaurie I meanโฆwe should not be surprised, but we should still be outraged. Itโs important not to skip that crucial step; assuming outrage and immediately moving past it is how complacency and acceptance set in.
And yes, there are ample alternate hosting options for the Streisand Effect to kick in. But we have to be sure to give Google and the Trump admin that black eye, every time.
Genuine question from my pragmatic autistic point of view: and how that will change anything to give them the black eye?
Saying that, Iโm going to look online for a way to contact the author of the video and to mention him the existence of Peertube that he has probably no idea about.
@adelinej โGive them the black eyeโ means โdiscuss this with in our various social circles and express outrage so as to damage their reputation and keep attention on it.โ It is easy to underestimate just how real and how impactful that kind of social shift can be.

Can newsrooms become social platforms themselves? Should they?
The future belongs to organizations that understand their communities, not just their analytics. In this post, I dig into a reader question that speaks to the future of social, newsrooms, and AI.
This is a great post on the good news, bad news dynamic of the AI boom.
The good news is demand is exploding. Nvidia canโt make GPUs fast enough nor can Microsoft & Google bring data centers online fast enough to meet demand.
The bad news is demand is exploding. New features like Deep Research or Agehts use 10x - 100x the resources of vanilla chatbot queries from a year ago. AI companies simply canโt raise prices high enough to match usage. $200/month it isnโt enough.
the goal with this is to generalize what happened with claude code & windsurf to the fatal flaw in the idea that โmodels getting cheaperโ will bail out consumer ai margins

Ok, oggi ho iniziato a settare #orgmode in #emacs . Prima reazione : maremma che caos. Dopo tre o quattro tutorial invece ora penso: sarร anche un poโ rognoso da settare , ma รจ una figata ! son solo agli inizi maโฆ. Trovo sia decisamente meglio di logseq e obsidian sommati insieme, se vinci la diffidenza. E cโรจ anche #roam-mode e sia benedetto il cielo evil mode (shortcuts di vim , che faccio fatica a tenere a mente sia quelli di eMacs che quello di vin!)
@gisgeek ho letto in un tutorial, devo guardare bene cosa si sovrappone e valutare cosa fare ! Pare sia semplice riconfigurare alcune scorciatoie ma โฆ. Vediamo ! Il dramma รจ che fatico a memorizzarne tante โฆ.
Non ho mai avuto bisogno di configurare nulla per Org... apro il file e scrivo, il markup lo uso solo quando davvero ho bisogno che il testo sia speciale. Magari il modo con cui prendo note รจ troppo "semplicistico", ma ha certamente tenuto a bada il caos che รจ parte della natura stessa di Emacs. E non ho neanche dovuto seguire tutorial. ;)
Agenda no, per i TODO solo a volte e per questo non ho proprio bisogno di tutto quello che offre. Principalmente lo uso per scrivere note o documenti piรน o meno strutturati, anche che vengono letti da altri oltre a me e il markup base รจ piรน che sufficiente. Visto che non sempre mi ricordo tutte le funzionalitร o le combinazioni di tasti, di solito quando non ho tempo di leggere il manuale se mi sono segnato qualcosa da fare e lo porto a termine, o lo cancello o lo sposto in una sezione (creata da una intestazione con un solo asterisco) con titolo "Fatto" o simile. Non รจ il massimo ma funziona. ๐
@vanni ahhh ok ๐๐ป per ora voglio provare a vedere cosa sa fare quindi sto smanettando con files di configurazione, pacchetti aggiuntivi ecc . ร un delirio, ma anche parecchio istruttivo ! Tra lโaltro รจ quasi infinito, cโรจ un pacchetto per ogni cosa , tutto configurabile ovviamente ! ๐คฃ
Ah beh, se l'obbiettivo รจ proprio quello di provare tutto quello che trovi allora divertiti! ๐ Comunque, se mai deciderai di usare Emacs "seriamente" ti consiglio lo stesso di limitare pacchetti e configurazioni solo per quello a cui proprio non puoi fare a meno... all'inizio anche io mi affidavo a "preset" scritti da altri, tipo copiando init.el da blog vari, e con il senno di poi questa cosa mi ha fatto piรน male che bene. Ho veramente iniziato a usare il potenziale del programma quando ho abbandonato tutto e sono ripartito da zero.
@vanni beh provare tutto magari no, sto guardando un botto di tutorial e preparando una scelta di pacchetti e configurazioni che mi paiono congeniali, ma รจ pazzesco vedere quanta roba cโรจ e quando puoi configurare (ah per ora sto smanettando su un eMacs in una VM ๐, si sa maiโฆ.)

The wrecker may be planning to send soldiers into US cities on election day in 2026, to ensure that his urban supporters find it hard to vote. This would go with his order for states to eliminate voting by mail. Eliminating that would make it harder for many marginailzed citizens to vote.
[2/2] Democratic states will cite the Constitution to reject the order, but I can imagine that Republican-controlled states wlll eagerly take up this opportunity for additional voter suppression.
it would also make it almost impossible for all deployed and training troops and the US military to vote. The US military has been voting by mail since the Civil War. If you take away vote by mail, you disenfranchise the troops, but perhaps that is exactly the plan.
