One of Germany’s largest employers announces to boycott #Tesla because of Elon Musk’s behaviour:

"Elon Musk makes no secret of his support for Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a hoax - this stance is in stark contrast to Tesla's mission to contribute to environmental protection through the production of electric cars

For this reason, ROSSMANN will no longer purchase Tesla vehicles for its fleet in the future."

@nrk9819 I think optimally-authored IndexedDB would probably win. See: https://nolanlawson.com/2021/08/22/speeding-up-indexeddb-reads-and-writes/

That said:

- A lot of people don't know IDB well
- Many apps like Notion already use SQLite in their native apps
- SQLite is a lot more flexible and featureful than IDB (e.g. built-in full-text search!)

So the answer as always is "it depends" 🙂

@nachtfunke React is a cult.

I’m now geoblocking Russian IP space from accessing packages.sury.org. Unfortunately, I can’t do that for Launchpad PPAs, but I would do the same there if I could. I see no reason why Russian Internet should benefit from my work when people (civilians) are dying in Ukraine because of Russia.

If you disagree, I propose you also take a firm stance and stop using my repositories, and never come back.

Geoblocking Russia · Issue #2155 · oerdnj/deb.sury.org

I should have done this before, and sorry it took me so long, but I started geoblocking Russia on packages.sury.org. I can't do that for launchpad packages, but if I could I would. I see no reason ...

In case you missed the announcement, I’m currently having a sale on my “AI risks” book, $9.99 instead of the usual $35 until next Friday

My original plan was to update it a year after publishing to account for updates in the field, but what surprised me was it didn’t need any. Nothing fundamental has changed about how generative models work or the risks they incur.

The design goal of Bluesky is:

A) Don't fail like Twitter: you lose your content when a billionaire has a drug-fueled midlife crisis and buys it.
B) Don't fail like Mastodon: you lose all your content when your instance admin running on donated coffee goes broke.
