Fucking based, not giving them an inch. #systemd should learn from this and not enable this crap, not even *signalling* a teeny tiny amount of support.

Wonder what #Motorola will do about this, I don't think they like this. But who cares, doing the right thing rarely makes the maximum amount of profit.

Apparently this requires restating:
We should not want a European Palantir.
We should not want an open-source Palantir.
We should not want a non-commercial Palantir.

If it is supposed to do what Palantir does, we should not want it.

And I don't care to what extent Palantir's products are shaped by political or profit motives. We know enough to reject its logic altogether.

It's not getting enough attention that the Trump administration has banned the sale of ALL WiFi routers made outside of the US. It's one of the first steps required to control Americans' use of the Internet, to spy on what you're doing online, to suppress information they don't want you to see and to even turn off the Internet at their discretion.

This is looking increasingly like a trap.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't received any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since grants are typically for 3 years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

In my 25-year career, I’ve never NOT had funding. I typically have 4 to 8 grants, which you need if you’re running an observation science program and have a technician, students, and postdocs.

There’s a limited supply of oil. It’s very expensive and wars are fought for it.

There is endless sunlight. It’s free and no wars are fought for it.

Let’s choose solar.
