  RE: https://wandering.shop/@cstross/117368020902247929 Anthropic's entire loss for 2025 was $42 billion. But as some tech bros recently explained to me, making losses is just how you become successful in capitalism, a good business practice. Making losses is good actually. Your losses will someday somehow magically turn into profits, don't you know? That's why 100 of every 100 startups succeed and why venture capitalists cast such wide nets. Don't you worry about finances. The...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@fj/117274646059939937 After white supremacist Stefan Molyneux was banned from YouTube in 2020, he moved to the extremely right video platform Rumble. Rumble is the "YouTube for Nazis". The company behind it, the Rum Group, is aligned with Trump. And now Anthropic made a nearly 14 billion USD deal with them. Perplexity similarly made a deal with Trump's "Truth" Social. Every "AI" company is directly collaborating with Nazis. And...

  I wish I needn't care about Omarchy or DHH. Maybe you're annoyed by now by all the posts about Omarchy. I mean, we get it: DHH recently discovered Linux after he got sick of Apple taking 30% of all his revenue, and as a narcissistic millionaire businessman he's naturally trying to make some bucks with his configuration files or at least increase his fame. We took a look at his so-called "distribution" and all it turned out to be is just Arch Linux with some shitty vibe-cod...

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@flyingpenguin/117212838196276138 I see a lot of timid responses to 1Password funding the Neo-Nazi DHH and his fascist collaborators: "I threatened to cancel my 1Password subscription and will happily give them my money again when they come back to their senses." Please, don't be so naive. - First of all, 1Password is largely owned by Shopify executives who are all friends of DHH. DHH is a director at Shopify. - Second, the VP of 1Password is using...

  Eliezer Yudkowsky is the guy who coined the term Effective Altruism, the toxic ideology that billionaires and capitalism-brained aspiring millionaires use to excuse their greed. They tell themselves, for example, that it's good to work at awful companies such as Facebook/Meta to make ungodly amounts of money because, "look at all the good things I could do with all that money," while ignoring all the awful consequences of them working for these companies. Eliezer Yudkowsky is in...

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@davidculley/117067451008208893 If you see a Palestinian who doesn't have the checkmark next to their #GazaVerified link, please help them like I did. In most cases I've seen, they created a new account and are now posting from the new account. That new account of course isn't the one that was verified by the #GazaVerified team, so there won't be a checkmark even if the Palestinian links to their #GazaVerified page. It's too much work for the #Gaza...

  RE: https://mastodon.wolkenheim.eu/@Wolkensteine/117047292267348881 If your company literally forms an alliance with Palantir and IBM (to name just two companies literally enabling genocide), then fuck your company. And fuck the centrist takes, "They're the industry leaders, we have no other choice, our company would go bankrupt otherwise, in the current economic environment you can't be picky regarding your business partners." I unfortunately heard them all in my professiona...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@gaza_verified_campaigns/117044166140550721 About 200 of the roughly 300 #GazaVerified families aren't receiving even just the bare minimum to live in Gaza. 😔💔 The minimum was determined to be $200 a week based on the cost of basic food on the market such as lentils. $200/week are about $28.57 a day, per family. Many families have more than 3 children and elderly parents to support. The determined minimum comes down to maybe $5 per person a day, which barely co...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@kkarhan/117037798754874969 You could simply mute or even block the Palestinians who are crying out for help if they annoy you that much and you have so little empathy with genocide victims being eradicated by a terroristic Israeli regime—look up Meir Kahane and Kahanism—and the help of a colonialist US empire. But *reporting* them to the instance moderators, with the purpose of them being digitally erased, is fucking low. One could argue this is complicity in genoc...

  Bayer, the German chemicals/pharma corporation probably best known for its anti-headache pills Aspirin, is in all likelihood providing Israel with Glyphosate and white phosphorus: biocides for forbidden chemical warfare. Israel neither denies nor confirms it, but we all know what that means. But Bayer also bought Monsanto in 2016 for 66 billion USD: the same Monsanto that made the Agent Orange pesticides/biocides that was heavily used in the Vietnam War to "deforest" the vast Vietnam...

  Tilo Jung, a German podcaster, is currently in Palestine and interviews Palestinians and Israelis. Here's an English interview with an Israeli settler and columnist for The Jerusalem Post who lives in the occupied West Bank since 1981 who is so brainwashed with zionist propaganda that he isn't abhorred by the unhinged things he says so openly and shamelessly: "We [jews] don't want to be oppressed, and we try, as much as possible, not to be oppressors." Then he laments th...

  RE: https://todon.eu/@tkkg_kiel/117029564601971660 TKMS (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems) in Kiel, Germany, is building the ships and submarines for Israel. The same ships that Israel uses to stop Greta Thunberg and the Global Sumud Flotilla, and to commit piracy on international waters. Some German activists are blocking the entrance to TKMS since 4:30 AM today. You can see the blue light of the police cars. #Germany #Israel #genocide

  RE: https://mastodon.world/@paninid/116993444042989991 No, this level of *desperate cries for help during a live-streamed genocide* does not happen on any other social media platform. Because every other social media platform (Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, …) is complicit in genocide and has long deleted every account belonging to Palestinians. The Fediverse is the only/last remaining place on the internet where genocide victims aren't silenced and digitally erased. And you guys cut even...

  If you see someone wearing "smart glasses", they'd surely appreciate a compliment on their new glasses. They might even let you take a closer look, or even try them on, if you ask them. It's such cool technology after all. But be sure not to accidentally immediately drop the glasses and stomp on them because that would be very much a shame. You wouldn't want that to happen.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Layan2002/116985986931989177 Layan's mother has a cyst on her ovary that is at least 1 cm in diameter. Untreated cysts can burst and make a woman barren. Which is just one of the risks. But not only can she not afford the treatment, she's $250 in debt and cannot even afford food. With a donation you can help a suffering woman with not having a ticking timebomb inside her belly. And provide her family with some food after three days without a donation. Fi...

  RE: https://scholar.social/@gedankenstuecke/116972420410253859 The AI bros don't understand collectives. Codeberg's decision to not tolerate LLM slop wasn't a top-down decision made by some CEO/dictator. Codeberg is a collective and anyone can become a member with voting rights. The members voted democratically, and about 70% of the members were in favor of not tolerating LLM slop. This decision is the will of the majority. It's the democratic will of the collective.

That is what they did. Imagine walking up to Anne Frank or a jew in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942, and robbing them. That is literally Nazi behavior.

  I keep reading about Corsi–Rosenthal boxes as DIY air purifiers that outperform all commercially available air purifiers. You literally only duct-tape four HVAC filters together and slap any regular PC fan onto them. US-Americans recommend the brand #Filtrete for MERV-rated HVAC filters, but in Europe that brand costs at least twice or thrice as much as in the USA. Are there any equivalent affordable HVAC filters in Europe with a MERV rating of 8 or 13? Or do I simply have to swallow the addi...

It's not worth getting "detained" (getting locked away in a concentration camp). Do not travel to the USA.
