I missed this last week.

The man the AFR experts thinks is “Australia’s newest datacenter titan” has never built a datacenter.

He lost $24 million in 2024. He has an MOU from Microsoft that says they’ll give him $2.5 billion if he turns up a datacenter in Laughton, UK, by the end of this year. That’s on the site he doesn’t actually own, which is currently running as a scaffolding yard (The Guardian broke that story)

On the strength of his $24 million loss and that MOU, Macquarie Bank has loaned him $105 million.

Last year Kier Starmer trumpeted his company as “British sovereign AI.” He has no AI, no British employees, and was based in Australia at the time. He’s built precisely nothing whatsoever since Starmer’s endorsement.

AFR wrote this article AFTER ALL THAT INFORMATION WAS MADE PUBLIC. “Datacenter titan,” no datacenters, losing money hand over fist, originating from Bitcoin grift.

Gud jernalisms!

FYI Systemd v261, probably due in May, is the release planned to include the 'birthDate' field.

we used to fight the system by moving from windows to linux

now we have to fight the system again by moving away from systemd distros

I hate how spineless people keep making life less comfortable for those wanting to make a stand

soOoOo…

been pondering this Bluesky mess, and i think i found a reason for why Bluesky executives didn't want people to find out they took 100 million from Bain Capital:

❝ "The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and o͟t͟h͟e͟r͟ i͟n͟t͟e͟r͟a͟c͟t͟i͟o͟n͟s͟ ❞

what other interactions are there beyond posts, likes and comments?

oh, right: DIRECT MESSAGES.

so is this why they kept quiet? that the money was contingent upon them redefining public to include DMs?
