@inthehands Not all “Avi”s… In fact my parents left Israel after Jewish religious extremists stoned our car for driving on a holiday.
I am not surprised that he’s building the damn wall, just that he’s not talking about it

@stefan I once heard an eminent economist say that libraries are socialist, as though it was a bad thing.

@datum Kaiser Permanente has installed visible monitoring in the clinics I go to. It’s really reassuring

@franklinlopez@kolektiva.social “PGP is where usability goes to die” cracked me up!
But that was back in the day when we had open SMTP relays and a whole lot fewer attacks

@nickgully@mefi.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social So they lied, and here’s some science to prove it.
I’m deeply offended that they named it Earendil.

@Nonilex “Risky” in that we may change the court’s structure and accountability because they broke the constitution

@axel I’m pretty sure that this report, like the last one, ws written by an AI set to “snark”, the information seems useful

@nada@manganiello.eu Praising the groups who are most effective at serving Gazans would be very useful. Calling out the bad actors can be very fraught.

@timbray@cosocial.ca “But the weak link is the recent graduate students. The weak link is that if you are a developer building an AI data center, and you go to a bank for a construction loan, the bank will probably ask something like “well, can you get tenants to rent this computing power?” And you will say “oh yes people love computing power.” And the bank will say “okay, who are your anchor tenants?” And you will say “oh they haven’t even been founded yet; it will take us a year to build this data center and by then all the AI companies will be different.” And the bank will say “hmm, hmm.”
