Miles Rapoport, the co-chairman of Crimson Courage, an alumni group that has urged Harvard to resist any deal that compromises its academic freedom,
said Trump and his White House were “completely unreliable negotiating partners.”
“I hope this strengthens Harvard’s resolve to not make a deal with an administration that is so ready to go nuclear at any moment,” Mr. Rapoport said.
Ryan Enos, a government professor at Harvard, said Trump’s shifting demands seemed to show he wa…

Trump, Changing Course, Throws Harvard Deal Talks Into Chaos
In the latest example of his mercurial negotiating style, President Trump went from dropping his ask for a $200 million fine to demanding $1 billion from the university.

Meanwhile on the #Sun as seen by SDO HMI https://jsoc1.stanford.edu/data/hmi/images/latest/HMI_latest_Int_4096x4096.gif at 21:53 UTC today ... the big groups (1)4296 and 4294 at the bottom as well as 4299 at the top keep marching towards the center of the disk, but not much has happened since the X1.9 flare two days ago. (The Kp forecast in https://www.spacepager.eu/data-products/forecast-of-the-kp-index sees something interesting three nights from now, though, but such long-term views are notoriously unreliable.)

So essentially whatever happens during the meeting between Trump and Zelensky it's probably all theatrics and will mean nothing, even if Trump promises security guarantuees (unlikely). Because recent history has shown Trump is totally unreliable and can change opinion in a day...

Tree companies are really unreliable, even for a quote. It's been weeks since a tree fell and none seem to want to take my money.

Wsocial is there because if a project is not supervised by a CEO, it doesn't exists or is, at best, an unreliable amateur project.
Sadly, everyone I know irl including friends and family, think that way.

Going on a journey on Germany‘s known to be unreliable trains. Everything‘s going great and on time so far!

Last week, while the country reacted to Kennedy’s rewrite of vaccine reality,
Jay Bhattacharya continued his own campaign to rewrite pandemic history.
He did this by retweeting misleading content from an unreliable source.
A closer look at that source, and at Bhattacharya’s long-standing relationship with it, raises serious concerns for science-based public health.

And this is working, but it's slow progress.
Mastodon in particular has UX problems that will be very hard to overcome that prevent mass adoption, foremost is that actual conversations (aka replies) are unreliable and slow due to the way posts are distributed. Quote post support was a huge first step to remedy this. I hope we'll see more updates on it.
Bluesky got a big chunk of former Twitter users, especially in some niches like for scientists and activists; they have great performance, reliable threading and replies and really amazing featuers like fully custom feeds—but suffer from intransparent moderation and frankly insufferable leadership (still leagues better than Twitter or Facebook though).
(There's more than these, but these are what I use.)

Reports of Russia advances in Ukraine are really describing the advance of Chinese drones on fiber optic cable.
The Russian infantry remains incompetent and unreliable, even though it outnumbers Ukraine in troops and ammo.
Ukraine needs ammo. Same story since the beginning of the war.
Giorgio is on the ground, dodging drones in order to provide updates from the front lines, where US reporters never venture.

From a Buddhist perspective, telling highly unreliable stories about ourselves is something we do daily; in doing so self-consciously, literary auto-fashioners enact the realization of this fact.

Does #cloudflare have issues again? Currently #linkedin return a 500 on all requests with "cloudflare" ind the message. The same for orangeamps.com which I know uses cloudflare from the last cloudflare issues.
Maybe people should stop using such an unreliable service.

Ukraine Update: Villains in fine clothes from around the world pretend to be decent humans with hearts while they continue to ignore the criminal cruelty and warcrimes of Russia's ongoing genocide of Ukraine.
The truth is hard to deny if you will only see what is so obviously happening.
The failure of the west to stand up to Russia and the unending cruelty that defines the Russian ethos demonstrates how worthless and unreliable the west is.

Home assistant is too unreliable. I run it on the Raspberry Pi4B with an external HDD for storage and every now and then it just stops responding or does not boot after an update or does not update or ... Sometimes a restart helps, sometimes I need to reinstall and get everything from the backup. Now today I ran into the "missing shutdown button":
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/shutdown-option-removed/715359/15 Such a diva. I'm done with home assistant for now.
