Let me get this straight. Elon and his team of tech geniuses don’t understand how SQL databases work, are ignorant of COBOL programming, can’t secure their web server, and have now failed to properly configure an email server so it’s messages don’t get marked as spam. Is that right?

New post: Visual programming is stuck on nodes-and-wires. All the node-and-wires visual languages assume we figured out the function part, and all we have to do is layer visuals on top of languages we already have. What if there was a different way forward?

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

I spent years being like “look guys American fascism doesn’t have to look like the German kind, it’s always been a transnational movement that draws on a variety of symbols and traditions ….” And now they’re just out there doing literal Hitler salutes.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

It's time to call it. AI is built on a house of cards of intellectual property violations starting with Facebook which is starting to look a lot like a crime scene as held back discovery documents begin to be compelled and unsealed in court. /1

Elon Musk's first ex-wife (who is a novelist) wrote this harrowing account of his insane behavior back in 2010. Sadly, way too many people ignored it. www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a53...

Trump will travel to Moscow to stand next to Putin on the reviewing stand for the May 8 Victory Day celebration, Moscow sources reveal to Le Point. This year's celebration will focus on Russia's victory over Ukraine. How many messages does the world need? (H/t John Paul Fitch)

The Internet was supposed to be a distributed network impervious to a single point of failure. #StarLink totally changes that, gives it a single on/off switch in one person’s control. Countries should really think twice going forward before relying on it (not that #Ukraine had a choice)

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I feel like every lefty person should print this on a t-shirt and never take that t-shirt off. Social media reinforces some of the worst impulses for activists. A post that gets a lot of likes from like-minded people may be exactly the opposite of what you should be doing.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

A lot of talk about 'language policing' again, which is of course a part of an intentional campaign to keep us in an unproductive dialectical vicious cycle, but more importantly, crux of the argument always boils down to, "You overplayed your hand by demanding to be treated with dignity."

Tässä on aikajana siitä, mitä Trumpin hallinto tekee. Media voisi pitää tapahtumat ja asiantuntijakommentit erillään. En ehkä ehdi tai edes halua seurata enempää kuin faktat. Ping @uusijuttu.fi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Donald_Trump%27s_second_presidency_(2025_Q1)

Finnish yellow press making a clear statement that I have yet to see in, say, NYT or WaPo “Here’s the truth, Trump - Russia started the war in Ukraine - Russia is bombing and displacing civilians - Russia is bombing hospitals - Russia is making children orphans Ukraine is fighting for freedom.”
