It may be unchartered, but we can see the terrain:
the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps -- but not new vaccines.
That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people,
all of them deranged and malicious,
control over $3 trillion.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

All pictures in the book are from the charity’s 2017 Cake Off competition, in which the theme was ‘Canberra’. They were professionally captured, but unutilised until now.

The RetroTINK is now hooked up into the SCART switch along with the capture card on the computer. Switched back over to the JVC TM-H150CG because it's a better CRT than the Sony PVM-2530 and it takes up a bit less space. Still need to arrange the cables a bit, but I think this weekend is gonna be perfect for playing some games.

One of the stupidest fixes I ever did (after two days of searching how to fix the problem).
The problem was Kobo Books iOS app opening links to book chapters inside popups, instead of jumping to the target page.

🐺 Africa's rarest carnivore: The story of the first Ethiopian wolf ever captured, nursed and returned to the wild

Africa's rarest carnivore: The story of the first Ethiopian wolf ever captured, nursed and returned to the wild
What's the value of one animal? When a wild animal is found badly injured, the most humane option is often euthanasia to prevent further suffering. That's what usually happens, and often for good reason. Even when the resources to rescue one animal are available, a rehabilitated animal brought back into the wild might be rejected by its group, or struggle to find food or escape predators. If it does survive, it may fail to reproduce, and leave no lasting mark on the population.

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

"A package’s value isn’t primarily its implementation code. Anyone can rewrite curl in Rust in a weekend, as Daniel Stenberg has heard many times. What they can’t rewrite is the twenty years of bug reports, the weird edge cases someone hit in production and took the time to fix, the arguments in issue threads that eventually settled on the right behavior. That knowledge is spread across the package’s history and it grew organically. No prompt captures it."

TARRANT: [Forcefully] Yes or no?
MAX: Very well. I'll negotiate the arrangements. [starts to leave]
TARRANT: And the combat computer, remember, I want it to choose the battle chamber and run the contest.
