@maddy Yup, by this point, I feel like the only thing that keeps me doing anything is the pure stress and adrenaline, if at all.... and the problem is that even that isn't enough sometimes. Welp.
Wish you all the best too though

PSA: there's a new spam campaign hitting fedi, this one claims to be raising money for insulin and usually has a banner saying "black lives matter" or another progressive slogan.

You can recognize it in the usual ways:
1. Brand-new accounts doing nothing but ask for money.
2. Cold-messaging strangers with personal requests for a boost or donation.
3. Identical or near-identical accounts appearing all over fedi, primarily on open-registration instances.

If you see these accounts or get pinged by them, don't panic! Just report the profile and let your moderators handle it. The image below is an example of what to look out for.

Update: the spammers have adjusted their format a bit, see these posts for details:
- https://en.osm.town/@thibaultmol/114744923583539270
- https://en.osm.town/@thibaultmol/114745221813651432

Update 2: This particular round of spam also has a new trick, which is immediately blocking remote instance staff after they create an account. Fortunately, this does not prevent them from being reported! Just continue to report as usual, and moderators can view the content through their report UI (on Mastodon / Akkoma) or by switching accounts (on Misskey / Sharkey).

@wyatt definitely feel that -- how was past me so clever, any why do I feel so dumb now?

I think the answer may be that we all have our ups and downs and fluctuations; we gradually get better but also may have our bad days :3

WANTED: Intel Architecture Labs 1990’s CD-ROM’s. They appear to have maybe been monthly. They contained a mirror of Intel’s β€˜download.intel.com’ ftp server, specifically the /ial/ subdirectory which is not in the 2014 backup of the site on archive.org.

Lots and lots of white papers and design guideline documents in there. Especially looking for ones from the late 1990’s (1998-ish onward) if they exist. I’ve seen references in mailing lists to them that lead me to believe they do.
Example gem: intel trying to cover its ass after the FDIV bug, and have some more FDIV

@thedarkener @marcel So, uh, does this mean that "Not All CEOs" is the new "Not All Men"?

Because I think that might be a perfect fit:

@kboyd Agreed. But as CEO of a small Social Purpose Corporation startup, I just don't like the generalization.
Show threadKevin Boyd (he/him) πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦Jun 30
@thedarkener I suppose that's fair - but is it a true startup, clamouring for funding from any and all sources, or is more apt to describe it as a new business with a clear & working roadmap for stability and sustainability?
Show threadJordanJun 30

@kboyd You can decide for yourself (hint: it's the latter, until it's forced to become the former. Hopefully that'll never be the case)

@marcel Because the investors want it, so that's what the CEO wants like right fucking now. It doesn't even matter why to them. "People will give us money for it and they won't if we don't."

Who's got all the money? AI techbros. Do the math :p

@marcel - can't help but think the third right hand box should be "blockchain in the cloud or something that raises share price"
Show threadMarcel WaldvogelJul 1
@DaveHowe
I actually would prefer the "AI blockchain metaverse in the cloud" or so. Much bigger chance of line goes up!
Show threadDaveHoweJul 2
@marcel - that's your choice, but I would suggest the "raises share price" bit is key :D
Show threadMarcel WaldvogelJul 2
@DaveHowe
Ah, but that's a very low bar. To reach this goal, as a tech bro today, you can tell almost tell any lie (aka "promise" aka "prediction" aka whatever suits you) and your share price will raise.
Show threadDaveHoweJul 2
@marcel - indeed, but it IS a CEO we are talking about here; they don't know what lies would work :D
