Heute mal wieder für eine längere Tour mit dem #BromptonElectricGLine #rausgeschafft, 44km. Schön war's und das Wetter hat auch mitgespielt. (Es hat erst kurz danach angefangen, zu pieseln. Trotz Sonne war's aber noch eher kühl, vor allem an schattigen Stellen und bei Wind.

Eh, wow, dachte ich finde das Game nie wieder und siehe da, fast am Boden der Bananenkiste kam es hervor.

The most revealing fact about Google’s water use in The Dalles is not just the size of the number.
It is how difficult that number was for the public to obtain.
The Dalles spent 13 months fighting to keep Google’s water use secret
— then records showed the data center campus consumed roughly a third of the Oregon city’s supply

Pushing back on the idea that GenAI is "just another tool" for coding.
This comes up all the time in discussions on its use in open source software. People will fall back on the argument that it's like linters or autocomplete, and all that matters is whether the code passes muster. But it's not. In addition to the ethical issues, GenAI is a fundamentally different kind of "coding tool" and needs to be considered differently.
A comment to that effect in…

Hello! I've just been checking out Helix recently, and I quite enjoy what I've seen so far! It's fast, intuitive, ships a lot of nice defaults, and works well with what I've used it for thus far! I...

Hello, reply guys!
Yeah, the Democratic Party in the present and political parties in general are…um, disappointing at best, let’s just say. It’s foolish to view them as the primary mechanism of constructive change; they are at best a tool we use, but change has to come from the ground up.
We can recognize that without the nose-in-air whataboutism of this person’s reply. The fact is that if we had 2 more Democrats in the House right now, ICE and CBP wouldn’t have this •massive• budget influx that’s set to give these modern Brownshirts the ability to operate at every-city-at-once scale. I am not looking for a party I can cheer like a sports team; political parties should not be fandoms. I am just looking for ways to put out the fire that’s consuming my country. If I have a bucket of water I can dump on it, I am not going to whine about how the water tastes.

Can Companies Embrace A.I. Without Layoffs? This One Says It Is Trying to.
The German software giant SAP says it is betting that employees can reinvent jobs instead of eliminating them. Experts are divided on whether it will work.

Got an Amber Alert today, and my weather app, @…, did a better job than the state of Tennessee. In fact, TN failed, as they do at most things lately.
The alert from TN had a Bitly link (already looks suspicious) that goes to a Facebook page that requires you to login. :picard:

Expanding a bit on that “my ass” part:
One of the US parties is a mostly-anti-fascist party that’s going through an internal war about whether the best way to fight fascism is to sort of split the difference and cede a bit based on polling, or to punch fascists with everyone we’ve got.
The other US party is fascists, still united in lock step behind a fascist leader who is still trying consolidate authoritarian power — now by forming a massive paramilitary.
I don’t like either one of those things. But I dislike them in very different ways.
