This article explains how Big Tech and the AI companies are involved in Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza (and Lebanon if they can get away with it):

On the other hand, Anthropic has managed to position itself as the "ethical" AI supplier with some pushback to the Pentagon, but are they less involved in the #genocide in #gaza than the others? Or are they just bigger hypocrites?

Dear #Lazyweb - is this something we know about?

@dgerard @pluralistic

#lazyweb any way to make a camera motion activated? i have a webcam, gopro knockoffs, dsc-rx100 m2, and a spare laptop to work with

hoping to hands-free capture birds at the feeder without disturbing them

Hallo Lazyweb,

ich suche ein "Balkon"-Kraftwerk, dass auf einem Ziegel-Dach installiert werden soll.
Es ist Platz genug, sollen aber wahrscheinlich 4 Module werden. Speicher ist kein muss, kann aber.

Was nehme ich da?

Und wie installiere ich das auf dem Dach?

EDIT: Anker entfernt und Speicher hinzugefügt.

I just lived through my first time of ≥ 50 @-mentions in one 8 hour period.
I have hopefully given adequate replies; I'm sure I missed some folks who want a reply from me, and to those I apologize.
But, meanwhile, um, so, I gotta get home to #Emacs w/ a native #Mastodon client. Editing reply-after-reply in a mixture of the browser & Emacs is *not working* at scale.

Is https://codeberg.org/martianh/mastodon.el considered the best option for an Emacs client?

Sorry to #lazyweb y'all, but ADVANthanksCE.

What was the last #Apple device that had an IR port? https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=a85c4ab626ef52530400ace1957daaa35dd07534

My jug (Electric kettle) has just died. What's a good one? I use it regularly, every day so cost isn't as important as reliability, speed, ease of use and maybe beauty.
Edit: 2 more criteria:
*No frickin bright LEDs, especially not blue!
*Ideally no plastic filter on the pouring spout. We noticed that this part on a friend's old kettle had disintegrated to basically nothing meaning their boiling water had likely had added plastic granules for some years.
Edit 2: Is there such a thing as a kettle with a warranty of greater than 2 years?

Is there a USB stick with a button that makes it switch between multiple separate filesystems/volumes? Like instead of pulling out the stick and plugging in another I just press the button and it changes internally to a different set of files which may have the same names as the files it contained before but with different content.

It could probably be done with a esp32s2Stick but I don't know where to buy a populated PCB of it.

Asking the #LazyWeb after I haven't found a device like that after a general search with the big search engines.

#lazyweb "bash: no job control in this shell"

I just saw this error message in a forum post. How is this even possible? I thought job control was the shell's responsibility. How can it abdicate that responsibility? Seems to happen when opening a shell in a podman container.

(Yes, I still don't understand job control.)
