22s ago🐧 FunOS Offers a Minimalist Ubuntu Experience with JWM Desktop
"Unlike distros that ship with a complete desktop environment, FunOS takes a minimalist approach. It uses JWM on X11, providing a traditional desktop layout with an application menu, taskbar, system tray, and virtual desktops. The interface is simple, with familiar categories for accessing installed applications and system settings"

4m agoSo, Nvidia, and Huang (J), and the $7.5 billion in (H200?) chips to China,
with US Gov receiving 25% (because the US Gov is heavy into buying stakes in private companies now -I think I pinned the CATO Institute data collection on that)
means, at 25%, a payout to the US Government of $1.875 billion, no? Did i get the math right?
Dies this means we all get to not pay income tax in April, because Treasury already has the $?
Can I dream for 5 seconds?

8m agoof COURSE microslop isn't going to say "our systems were down because we fired everyone with expertise and the AI didn't help". they need you to believe that the AI is omnicapable and never wrong!
12m agoyou people need to be way less credulous. the "AI" exists as a responsibility diffuser, a way to blame anything but the system.
New rule: LLMs have to tack ", maybe." on the end of every response.
"You're absolutely right, maybe."

They should be home now. They will come home when Pete Hegseth decides that there is a "non-nuclear Iran".
In the event that you wish to separate the bottom of a beer bottle from the rest of the bottle... I can vouch for the method of filling the bottle mostly with water then striking the top with a rubber mallet.
Seven out of seven attempts were successful.

23m agoToday I learned - and that could be a hashtag, because the world keeps giving - that
DTJr was an advisor to both Kalshi and Polymarket.
1. Advisor????? Seriously.
2. After DTJr Co invested in Polymarket, he "mutually agreed" with Kalshi to step down from advisor role.
But, I'm still stuck on anyone with a brain cell cosy-ing up to 'that guy' for business advise.
I know, I know, it's all just paid access to the corruptor-in-chief, but the mud sticks, ya know.
28m ago“large scale radio frequency outage” does not make sense. Maxwell’s equations are not part of #Office365
AFAIK ATC Radio still is very analogue AM, so it can’t have a large scale outage. Very curious.
Consider several related but distinct society-level threads right now:
- erosion of government function under Trump due to corruption + incompetence + ideologically motivated sabotage
- unmaintainable software systems / quality decline / tech debt due to mad rush to adopt LLM coding / other ill-advised use of AI
- loss of competence, institutional knowledge due to mass layoffs + stagnant labor market
- corporate indifference to the experience of customers due to market capture + shift from attracting investors instead of attracting customers (“Now it’s investors who have the real money” + “What are the customers going to do, leave??”)
Now consider that •all• of these could exhibit a similar set of large-scale symptoms:
- Sudden mass outages of essential services
- with unexpectedly large recovery times
- where actual underlying causes are opaque, hard to pinpoint
- and somehow afterwards the result is just “oops” and there are no high-up resignations, no drastic restructuring, no new oversight board or structural change.
Personally, I blame @gayint for the outage. Idk how or why yet, but that's my assessment and I'm sticking to it.
has the right-wing online braintrust identified a lone woman to blame the FAA ground stop on yet?
I feel like there is an explanation here of why dystopic #scifi fails to actually convince us not to build the #dystopia, and even encourages tech bros to make the horrors described in the story. Most stories fail to unsettle the audience, and just acclimate everyone to life within a world with the terrible technologies.
42m agoThis is what happens when you let people who think vaccines will make your kid have pronouns vote.
Interesting analysis of #BlackMirror. I especially like this discussion of "Smithereens", which turned out to be exactly right about the state of social media company incentives, but failed to properly unsettle its audience.
