This was the WORST time ever to get a power outage because I was literally being rolled out to be put under anesthesia.

Excuse the delayed downtime but I was unable to respond for a few hours while I was recovering from the initial pain and had to be driven home after my surgery in order to cold start the whole cluster.

Major design flaw here is that after the power returned the initial spike caused a fuse to blow which meant the ups stayed offline.

It appears the Dutch government has decided to greenlight the EU plan to make 'big tech' force-install software on all European phones that will automatically report any questionable photos in your private chat messages to the police. This is not actually about protecting the children. This is about removing the very possibility of private communications. We can tell because governments have exempted themselves from this legislation (!). Here's something I wrote earlier: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/end-to-end-encryption-european-internet-forum/

The term you are looking to dislike is "Generative AI". AI/ML has been used for decades and continues to be used for many useful, ethical, and not at all wasteful purposes.

It's what makes your low-light photos less noisy, it's how OCR works, it's how speech recognition works, it's how low-cost motion capture works.

Remember the original Kinect? That was powered by ML (paper).

GenAI, specifically, is the grift.

If tech companies enable some feature, _except_ in the EU, then that's an excellent indication that the feature is bad and should not have been built.

Alice Averlong🏳️‍⚧️

going back in time to the original USB committee meetings. I'm gonna appear out of a portal, wearing an eyepatch and a dozen scars, and yell at them to explicitly forbid power-only USB cables before collapsing into a heap of dust on the floor

@charlotte mii would be banned from spaceports but that is normal and pretty much expected. why she's banned from catering work is a little more complex tho and has to do with a paper plane, a stove pot the size of a building, and some meat that shouldn't be there
