But let's remember that Erdogan isn't a democrat.
Erdogan is carrying out a genocide of Kurdish people.
Erdogan is injailing (important) people of the opposition in order to win the elections next year. Many people are imprisoned without any legal proceedings.
However, the EU doesn't do anything but paying Erdogan a lot of money so he stops people that want to come to Europe fleeing from wars and dictatorship.
Erdogan isn't interested in people of Gaza.
Erdogan is only interested in one thing: in Erdogan, his money and his power.

It isn't your imagination: Google Cloud is flooding the zone
Aside from Alphabet’s own forays into AI, they’re also selling pickaxes to most other AI prospectors.
It’s a story deSouza likes to tell in numbers. In a conversation with this editor, he notes several times that nine out of the top 10 AI labs use Google’s infrastructure. He also says that nearly all generative AI unicorns run on Google Cloud, that 60% of all GenAI startups worldwide have chosen Google as their cloud provider, and that the company has lined up $58 billion in new revenue commitments over the next two years, which represents more than double its current annual run rate.Asked what percentage of Google Cloud’s revenue comes from AI companies, he offers instead that “AI is resetting the cloud market, and Google Cloud is leading the way, especially with startups.”
The strategy extends beyond simple customer acquisition. Google offers AI startups $350,000 in cloud credits, access to its technical teams, and go-to-market support through its marketplace. Google Cloud also provides what deSouza describes as a “no compromise” AI stack — from chips to models to applications — with an “open ethos” that gives customers choice at every layer.
The approach reflects both opportunity and necessity. In a market where companies can go “from being a startup to being a multibillion-dollar company in a very short period of time,” as deSouza puts it, capturing future unicorns before they mature could prove more valuable than fighting over today’s giants.
“Companies love the fact that they can get access to our AI stack, they can get access to our teams to understand where our technologies are going,” deSouza says during our interview. “They also love that they’re getting access to enterprise-grade Google class infrastructure.”
Google’s infrastructure play got even more ambitious recently, with reporting revealing the company’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to expand its custom AI chip business. According to The Information, Google has struck deals to place its tensor processing units (TPUs) in other cloud providers’ data centers for the first time, including an agreement with London-based Fluidstack that includes up to $3.2 billion in financial backing for a New York facility.
Competing directly with AI companies while simultaneously providing them infrastructure requires … finesse. Google Cloud provides TPU chips to OpenAI and hosts Anthropic’s Claude model through its Vertex AI platform, even as its own Gemini models compete head-to-head with both. (Google Cloud’s parent company, Alphabet, also owns a 14% stake in Anthropic, per New York Times court documents obtained earlier this year, though when asked directly about Google’s financial relationship with Anthropic, deSouza calls the relationship a “multi-layered partnership,” then quickly redirects me to Google Cloud’s model marketplace, noting that customers can access various foundation models.)

I’m not sure that the mass market shares the tech industry’s vision for smart glasses
One recent change among early-adopter circles was plain on the faces of many fellow attendees of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in Maui this week: “smart” glasses with cameras, microphones, speakers and sometimes screens. But then my flights home Friday reminded me that for the overwhelming majority of people, “eyewear” means electronics-free glasses.
Qualcomm’s invitation-only conference–that company paid my airfare and lodging, as it did on my prior trips to cover it in 2021, 2022 and 2024–allowed me to get some brief face time with Snap’s Spectacles ’24, running newer software than the version I tried at last year’s summit. The event also treated me to a parade of tech execs testifying that smart glasses were the next big computing platform.
But despite all those optimistic assurances and my own earlier, brief tryouts of such smart glasses as Meta’s camera-enabled Ray-Bans and a prototype set of Android XR glasses, I remain unsold on the entire concept. So, it seems, do most customers: A Forrester Research survey released in September found that 79 percent of respondents had no interest in buying smart glasses.
On one hand, smart glasses with cameras, speakers and microphones are not particularly cheap–the Ray-Ban-branded models from the conglomerate EssilorLuxottica cost $379 and up–but perform worse than phones at taking pictures and playing audio.
Plus, they have the potential to annoy friends and strangers who aren’t keen on the possibility of surreptitious photography.
On the other hand, more advanced smart glasses with built-in displays could finally make hands-free augmented-reality overviews of the world a reality, but first somebody has to bring them to market at a not-crazy price. Snap’s Spectacles, which require a $99/month developer subscription, are not there; Meta’s Ray-Ban Display glasses, available starting Tuesday for $799, aren’t that much closer.
And somebody also has to solve battery-life concerns: What’s my motivation to strap a computer to my face, however stylish it might get, if that electronic eyewear will only run six hours on a charge and therefore need recharging much more often than my phone?
Meta championing this cause gives me further cause. That company has shown a history of careless indifference to the consequences of its actions, including repeated episodes of bad-faith behavior towards my own industry, that does not make me want to give it my money.
But Meta has also been so spectacularly wrong about consumer-electronics trends–topped by Mark Zuckerberg renaming Facebook to “Meta” and losing tens of billions of dollars on the delusional notion that people want to spend prolonged time in virtual-reality environments–that Zuck pushing smart glasses itself seems reason to eye the concept skeptically. Through dumb, software-free glasses.

"empleOS was a unique operating system created entirely from scratch by programmer Terry A. Davis, who worked on it for more than a decade. Released in 2005, it featured its own kernel, compiler, and programming language called “HolyC,” all designed to run at a resolution of 640x480 with 16 colors. Davis, who was open about his struggles with schizophrenia, believed the system was a modern-day Temple of God and said it was designed according to divine instructions"

The image features a tweet from "Past Preserved" ([@]PastPreserved) about Temple OS, an operating system developed by Terry Davis in 2005. The tweet highlights that Davis, a software engineer with schizophrenia, built the system from the ground up. The image includes a photo of a young man, likely Davis, holding a CRT monitor, and a screenshot of the Temple OS interface. The OS interface displays a cross with the text "Temple OS V5.03" and "Public Domain Operating System," along with various menu options and a "CLOSE" button. The screenshot also shows a text editor with code and a list of programs, including "Adventure Dungeon" and "Paballax Quest."

La gente buena eran los mejores nazis. Mi madre creció junto a ellos. Se llevaban bien, se negaban a causar problemas, miraban hacia otro lado cuando las cosas se ponían feas y se centraban en cosas más felices que la política.
Eran gente encantadora que hacía la vista gorda cuando se llevaban a sus vecinos.
¿Sabes quiénes no eran buena gente? Los que resistieron.

He is being killed by his own symbol, the Confederate flag. It's a commentary on how hate consumes itself. You're purposely interpreting this as a commentary on suicide. This is like seeing a war movie where a soldier is shot and claiming it's offensive to people who lost a loved one to a school shooting. The method of death is the same, but the context is entirely different.
Shut the fuck up now.
