Data colonialism: A Microsoft AI Data Center Saps Water From A Small Mexican Town
After decades fighting against water bottling and beer companies, rural communities in Mexico are now also having to compete against Big Tech for water.
Development in the Global North has long come at the expense of the Global South as well as Black and indigenous frontline communities in places like Cancer Alley and Flint, Michigan.
Today’s exciting episode of the moving mayhem involves a deep clean.

Next week, I need to travel to Denmark to visit a client. Their office is in some small town, and I wanted to book accommodation nearby, but there was nothing available. The Key Account Manager told me to go ahead and book a place in Legoland.
After much grumbling, I finally managed to pick a room!

Friendly reminder that if you're designing any kind of personal information form and you decide to:
1. Validate names for "bad words"
2. Put a minimum characters limit on names
3. Have two separate fields for "first" and "last" name
Then you're doing it wrong with a shitload of very western-minded assumptions that are not universal and will cause issues

by ma zaujímalo či to niekoho napadlo pred tou zmenou tr. z., pretože o tom začínam pochybovať doteraz som bol skôr na tom že im to je jedno

Zlodeji dostali krídla a sú čoraz agresívnejší, obchodníci občas vidia na policajtoch apatiu
Krádeže v obchodoch stále pribúdajú, potvrdzujú to niektorí obchodníci. Viac než finančné straty ich však trápia obavy o zamestnancov, zlodeji sú totiž čoraz agresívnejší. Podľa niektorých občas badať náznaky nezáujmu u policajtov.Daniela Krajanová (Denník N)
Niekoho to zrejme aj napadlo, ale zamer bol dostat "seba a par kamosov" co najrychlejsie mimo riziko stihania a teda reci typu "to je komplikovame" sli stranou.
Tr. z. je komplexna vec, sucast este vacsej komlexnej veci: spolunazivanie.
Tu komplexitu evidentne zohladnili, lebo ak znizovali sadzby a limity za velke lupy, tak znizili aj za male. Lebo suvisi a prilis by bilo do oci ak by male neposunuli. 1/2
Urcite napadlo. A odpovede:
- frustracia, apatia, … -> (aj ich) volici -> to nejako ukecaju² => nie ich¹ je problem
- kto bude riesit -> radovi policajti -> to nejako ukecaju alebo zaonacia³ => nie je ich¹ problem

² Simecka, Soros, …

Cool, so my smart TV screen reader has been doing this thing where it cuts out before my AV receiver can actually read what it says, and now the thing is basically useless except as a display.
This is probably fine, both because the thing is a useless cesspool of advertising and surveillance, but also because I've been using my layoff-gifted hardware as a more capable media PC than the TV ever was. So I guess I just need 2 things:
- A decent HDMI monitor. At smallish size points, is there a visual reason to prefer a TV screen over a monitor at medium distances? And maybe I need something with CEC so turning on the monitor would also activate the receiver but I don't know and HDMI is confusing AF.
- Something with the form factor of a remote control, but not necessarily IR, that I can wire into @homeassistant and/or maybe dbus on the media PC so a button might switch sources, tweak GNOME desktop audio settings, etc.
Any thoughts?
Ah, so latency is a factor too. I have something like a 32-inch TV now because I just don't need bigger, and I'm guessing that's where most monitors top out size-wise?
I'll probably end up going this route anyway and cobbling something together, just trying to figure out all the issues I'll hit on the way.

The form is oriented to have you saying they should go for AI.
It's a pleasure to answer instead "protect online privacy".
TIL: @tuxedocomputers released #Linux #kernel drivers for their machines under the #GPLv3, which makes it impossible for competitors and distros to ship them pre-compiled, as that license is incompatible with the #LinuxKernel's #GPLv2 only license.
They did this purposely, allegedly to "keep control of the upstream pacing" – and want to re-license the code while upstreaming.

They are working on doing the same for the remaining drivers.
They also submitted a updated version of the patchset making the #Linux #Kernel's module loader treat some of the modules as proprietary; the list of modules handled that way is much shorter now:

I personally had a hard time clicking a blank area of my taskbar with a screen reading tool, so if you are using one, an alternative is to run this command from your Run (Windows +R) dialog:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\ExplorerPatcher\ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll",ZZGUI
after running, a window titled "properties" should open. Use up and down arrow to choose a setting, left and right to change one.
I personally enabled the shell integration, simple tab switcher, and in advanced, definitely "Enable SysListView32 for Explorer views" - this will give you the older "folder view list view" type view when browsing lists of folders, and it does speed up the arrowing back to how I remember it. Be sure to also check the "control interface" setting and if you want the older Windows 7 menu bar back, choose "Windows 7 command bar."
All of this does make Explorer Patcher worth it, especially if running on non-insider builds. Highly recommended for anyone fed up with Windows 11's bloat and slowness.
Side note: I could not get it to cooperate well with my Open Shell once I reverted to the older Start Menu, so I've removed that for now.
