Israel is bombing people in tents.

But if *I* hijack *their* devices it's a "felony."

There is something deeply wrong about watching an ambulance become a target.

The people inside are not carrying weapons. They are carrying help.

Yet in Kherson, even that is enough to turn it into a target for a russian drone.

This is the best text I have read on the latest Ukrainian-Polish conflict. Not that it was necessarily a strategically wise decision by Zelensky to use the "UPA heroes name" for a military unit.

(I first read the Ukrainian version in NV.ua but I suppose this English version is identical.)

My dear hometown💔

Overnight and into the morning, russia launched drones and missiles at Kharkiv and its surrounding areas.

18 people were injured, including an 11-year-old girl.

Paraphrasing again:

We’re in a power struggle between those using “AI” to centralise and consolidate their hold over the economy, education, media, and politics and are willing to sacrifice much of the environment and society to that end (i.e. "rule the ashes") and those who think that would be bad

Standing in the middle and going “actually, I think we could find productive uses for LLMs” is not a winning move and it won't protect you from the winning side of the power struggle.

Edit: Aaaaaa I got like 100 really good offers about this already, you can stop sharing and replying now this is getting overwhelming D:

Okay, let me be random for a second.

This being Fedi, I know there will be someone reading this who is a chronically depressed, poly disaster transfem always narrowly avoiding poverty by being a somewhat-but-not-really successful self-employed freelance web developer, who has strong opinions about the modern web, free software, the semantic web and structured data, and who kind-of-but-not-really mourns what XHTML could have been while actually thinking HTML5 as written is kinda neat, but who is constantly forced by Society (tm) to work with React, Wordpress and awful bloated web app frameworks to create terrible, non-semantic style-first web applications for ungrateful clients.

I can't guarantee anything but let's say, I know someone who needs a static website for their business. Hypothetically, uh, where could that someone reach out to you? Paid, of course.
