“And remember that you, as a regular person, can understand all of this. These people want you to believe this is black magic, that you are wrong to worry about the billions wasted or question the usefulness of these tools. You are smarter than they reckon and stronger than they know, and a better future is one where you recognize this, and realize that power and money doesn’t make a man righteous, right, or smart.”

"Running roughshod over the law. Massive corruption and open conflicts of interest. A war on science, education, and truth. A compliant Congress. An enabling Supreme Court. A morally bankrupt leader. The stoking of hate. It’s a list of outrages that we must keep firmly in the category of unacceptable—if we have any hope of preserving our democracy."

The Raging Grannies of Palo Alto say: " #Tesla engineering HQ in Palo Alto where there are protests on Mondays! You poisoned neighborhood Matadero Creek and now won’t even pay a measly $750 fine? Such is the arrogance of the #broligarchy!"

Aaaand that's just another reason we still do #TeslaTakedown

ENG: Oldie but a goldie... on Fediverse, Babel and the Twitter collapse (paywall-free link):

https://archive.ph/2HWFm

ESP: "Cada cinco o seis minutos, alguien del ámbito de las ciencias sociales publica un pdf con un título como "los humanos son un 95% más felices en pueblos pequeños, saludando a los vecinos y comiendo bocadillos".

Cuando nos reunimos en grupos de digamos, más de 8 personas, es un desastre. Aun así, hay algo en nuestra naturaleza que desea reunir a todo el mundo en una gran sala, para "resolver".

"Nuestros superiores más inteligentes y ricos (en tiempos de babel, el rey se llamaba Nimrod) a menudo predican la idea de una plaza, un mercado de ideas, un centro neurálgico de discurso y entretenimiento, y nosotros escuchamos.

Pero cuando vuelvo atrás y leo el Génesis, oigo a dios decir: "Hijos míos, he diseñado sus cerebros para escalar hasta 150 relaciones estables. Cualquier cosa más allá de eso es overclocking. Mejor prueba Mastodon". (...)

La verdadera belleza de Mastodon y servicios afines es que están diseñados para colapsar. Si quieres dejar un servidor, puedes llevarte todos tus seguidores y follows contigo. Si un servidor se apaga, puedes encontrar otro. No es cosa de una sola persona. El Fediverso reconoce que, a medida que centralizamos y debatimos nos fundimos, y por eso trae una calca gigante que dice: ¡Babel incorporada!

¿Cómo se monetizarán estos grupos pequeños de personas más felices? Es una pregunta difícil para los multimillonarios. La gente feliz, la que come bocadillos juntos, es aburrida. No compran mucho. Sus smartphones van seis versiones por detrás y tienen las pantallas agrietadas. Arreglan bicicletas, luego hablan de arreglar bicicletas.

Luego le enseñan a su amigo, que acaba de llegar sin motivo, cómo arreglaron su bicicleta, y su amigo dice: "Guau, buen trabajo", y preparan té. No parece suficiente para construir la plaza publica que Nimrod o los oligarcas deseaban..."

A five-year legal battle in #UK and #European #courts comes to a head: will we finally - learn the truth about the #Kremlin & the #Brexit vote?

A note on what I’m doing and why. I’m an investigative #journalist who worked for the #Guardian for 20 years latterly investigating the intersection of politics and technology...

#Crypto Industry Reaches Milestone With Passage of First Major #Bill

After a week of squabbling in Washington, the #cryptocurrency industry secured one of its primary legislative objectives & made progress toward a second one.

the data center thing is heating up in #Tucson. Today the development agreement was released. It revealed some info never before clearly stated. For instance, the project would use something like 900megawatts of power, which is more than the entire city uses now.

Absolutely ludicrous.

Just so the #broligarchy can keep inflating the #AI bubble.

Anyway, watch this space:
