[edit: resolved at 21:03 UTC. Seems like an attempted cutover to a new root didn't work, so they fell back to the old root. More details below.]
> The men behind…#Biden’s genocidal “bear hug” policy of unconditional US support for the Israeli government are now popping up everywhere from Stephen Colbert to the op-ed pages of the New York Times to their own podcasts, presenting themselves as responsible experts critiquing Trump’s chaotic foreign policy.

If Blinken, Sullivan, McGurk had a shred of morality, they’d crawl under a rock until they die.
Remember, #Democrats can be war criminals too.
Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots. This was done over a 270-meter open-air link, proving quantum information can travel between independent devices. The achievement marks a key step toward building quantum networks for ultra-secure communication. It also sets the stage for more advanced systems like quantum relays.
Bluesky alternatives:
* Blacksky: has its own relay and appview, avoids using them because doing so sucks and they're unfeasibly expensive to leave switched on if you're not burning unlimited blockchain venture cash. Least worst alternative, still breaks whenever Bluesky breaks.
* Northsky: has a PDS and is at invitation only stage. No relay or appview plans
* Eurosky: has a PDS. No relay or appview plans. A straight up lie in the FAQ about their independence from Bluesky when they don't have a relay or appview.
the AT protocol is totally distributed
"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."
Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.
“I’m lying in the dirt. It’s coming for me. Then, with a lurch, it’s climbing up my chest. If Andreas Makris doesn’t stop the 200-pound robot lawn mower in time, it could drag its blades across my body.
Makris certainly can’t reach over and hit the emergency stop button — he’s nearly 6,000 miles away, having hacked this robot from the other side of the planet, to demonstrate the gaping security holes in Yarbo’s robot lawn mowers.”

“Yarbo sells autonomous lawn mowers and snow blowers, consumer robots priced between $1,500 and $5,000, deployed in private homes all over the world. Every one of them ships with a persistent SSH tunnel, a root password hardcoded identically across the entire fleet, and telemetry that phones home to ByteDance. None of this is disclosed at point of sale. These devices have WiFi, Halow and 4G connections.”
