Sanctions on Iran have been a spectacular strategic failure for the West
Sanctions have destroyed the Iranian middle class – the very driver of stability and moderation.Mohammad Reza Farzanegan (Al Jazeera)
On many platforms, we are no longer the customers, but instead have become the product. Our data, even if anonymised, is sold on to actors we never intended it to reach, who can then target us with content and advertising. This includes deliberately harmful content that leads to real-world violence, spreads misinformation, wreaks havoc on our psychological wellbeing and seeks to undermine social cohesion.

The next time someone tells you that "we don't have money for pensions", remember this report about the tax of the elite:
"Wealth inequality is evident worldwide, including in #Europe. As of early 2025, the wealthiest 5% of the population in the eurozone controlled 45% of net household wealth, while the top 10% held 57.4%, according to the European Central Bank (#ECB).
This concentration of wealth keeps the debate over wealth taxes at the centre of discussions in many countries. Most recently, French billionaire Bernard Arnault strongly opposed a proposed 2% levy on citizens with assets over €100 million, calling it “an offensive that is deadly for our economy”.
Over the past three decades, several countries have repealed individual wealth taxes. The number of #OECD members levying such taxes fell from 12 in 1990 to just 4 in 2017. They are European countries: #Austria (1994), #Denmark (1997), #Germany (1997), the #Netherlands (2001), #Finland, #Iceland, and #Luxembourg (all in 2006), and #Sweden (2007)."

"[W]henever I need a Redocly or Swagger UI CLI command, again, I use ChatGPT. And it does something the site doesn’t do in that I get completed commands ready to run. Easier, faster, and more productive than going to your site. Writers may not do this a lot themselves. Developers do. This is where thinking like a developer comes in. They use AI for programming. Don’t take my word for it. Ask around. Watch developers work. Write an application yourself, something I advocate API documentation writers must do anyhow. These suggestions are for seeing how AI is creeping into the developer’s work style.
That means developer don’t know or care what the site looks like. Only that the content is there. The key is that AI doesn’t make up information. It gets it from somewhere. And that somewhere is your site. The more complete the information, field explanations (remember this one from earlier?), and interactions, the more complete the AI can be. That means happier developers.
In that regard, writers will always have a job writing content. Writers won’t always have a job formatting the output or publishing files. Your publishing tools are needed for the moment. But you need to be thinking two to five years in advance. Now."

Why I gave the world wide web away for free
My vision was based on sharing, not exploitation – and here’s why it’s still worth fighting forTim Berners-Lee (The Guardian)
Hab unlängst einmal Kleinholz gemacht. So hab ich den Strauchschnitt von letztem Herbst und diesem Frühjahr gehäckselt... hach was ist so ein Leisehäcksler für ein meditatives Gerät...
Mjamjamjamjamjamjamjam frisst es Ast um Ast.
Und bei jedem Ast stell ich mir einen anderen Hirschen aus der Politik vor, den dieses Spaghettimonster da verspeist genüsslich.
Den Donald, den Wladi, den Herbert, die Alice, den Fritze, den Nominik und wie sie alle heißen...
Nun ja. Der Strauchschnitt lag so im Garten herum, weil ich einerseits keinen Häcksler hatte, und andererseits ich den Insekten Tieren auch ein schönes Daheim geben wollte.
Aber nun hab ich das Geäst dem natürlichen Kreislauf zugeführt und ernte hoffentlich kommendes Jahr guten Humus fürs Gemüsebeet. Papa will ja auch was habern.
Der eine Haufen liegt nun schon ein paar Wochen da. Jetzt stelle ich fest, irgendwas ist schon eingezogen...
Ob das ein Igel ist? Zwei, drei solchige streunen nämlich Nacht für Nacht in unseren Gärten da herum.
Für Ratten ist das Loch nämlich zu groß.
Danke für den Tipp. Leider zu spät. In dem einen Haufen wohnt nun schon jemand... den werd ich sicher nicht mehr zerstören.
Den anderen Haufen muss ich noch kontrollieren. Da könnt ich noch was untermischen.
Ansonsten misch ich die Hornspäne gleich unter den Kompost im Frühjahr, wenn ich den auf meinen Beeten verteil und einarbeite.

I feel like one could direct a movie about the continuous obseletion of tech that's perfectly functional simply because the newer stuff is just that much better it doesn't make sense to keep using it, because of power efficiency and the resources its existence prevents from being reused in more efficient ways.
At heart I keep wanting to reuse things and repair things infinitely, but strangely, counterintuitively, that doesn't always make sense. Although maybe we could find more efficient ways?🤔
Like what if you could take the chip and hook it up to more RAM like you would with an older desktop (CPU)?
Or what if you could just replace the chip and memory, saving all the other components?
If GPUs were more SoC-like, we could develop some kind of backwards compatible bus akin to PCIE but at chip level for getting access to memory and being accessed and commanded from the main CPU perhaps?
Maybe one day humanity will figure out true resource reuse in computer tech, it's kinda needed tbh
The image shows the interior of a bus, focusing on the digital display at the top. The display shows the date "19/27/25" and the time "06:07 PM" in orange LED lights. Below the display, there is a rearview mirror and a security camera. The bus's interior is dimly lit, with a view of green foliage outside the window, indicating the bus is in motion. The driver is partially visible, wearing a white shirt and a cap, looking forward. The bus's interior features metal poles and overhead handrails for passengers.

The image features a pattern of stylized leaves on a black background. The leaves are depicted in various shades of beige, cream, and orange, with intricate line work that outlines their veins and edges. The leaves are arranged in a dense, overlapping pattern, creating a sense of depth and texture. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of warm colors against the dark backdrop, with the leaves appearing to float and intermingle. The design is symmetrical and repetitive, with no single leaf standing out, contributing to a cohesive and balanced visual experience.

"Finally, I haven’t even pitched the strongest argument for why technical writers and documentation will continue to be relevant in the future: AI tools are terrible without good documentation. In the same way that you need valid, accurate context when using AI tools to create documentation, AI tools need an accurate body of documentation to produce useful, hallucination-free outputs. Informal tests by my colleagues show that AI outputs improve by orders of magnitude when trained on more abundant and accurate documentation.
(...)
In other words, technical writers will create and package information specifically for AI consumption, ensuring the AI has the necessary context to produce accurate and relevant results.
There’s a sales motive for keeping technical writers around, too. Let’s say an external developer needs to create, say, a mapping application for their project, and they decide they need routing logic. Following a vibecoding approach, they integrate your company’s MCP server into their IDE and tell their AI tool to create an app that draws routes from one point to another. If the AI tool can successfully fulfill the developer’s needs, requiring only that they provide an API key (which then initiates billing), the company that has provided this solution will sell more API services. No one wants to fiddle and fuss with hard-to-configure technology that doesn’t work, and by hard-to-configure, I mean APIs that require manual configuration rather than APIs you can configure with natural language."

Watching a big name describe an llm saving time by "providing resources for an unhoused person" that he then "marked up" and delivered.
So the win in time was... a weak Google search.
If you've never been unhoused, let me guarantee you: finding a list of potential resources is step -1. The work is actually contacting them, jumping through the giant pile of barriers and then waiting.
You definitely cost that person time.
Rob Dyke and Marcus Baw got together to talk about a project I've been involved in back in 2017, the creation of a #Linux desktop that could have replaced #Windows on the majority of PCs of the #NHS and could have avoided many #cybersecurity issues since then.
Unfortunately back then some didn't want change to happen and despite having produced a fully working desktop we were forced to shut down the project.
Today things are different and change is happening.
