230+ enviro groups have written a letter demanding a moratorium on Meta, OpenAI, crypto and Google's, supersized datacenter land/water/grid grab in the US.

While encouraging, it seems the locals are already bringing the squeeze:

"At least 16 datacenter projects, worth a combined $64bn, have been blocked or delayed due to local opposition to rising electricity costs."

Water protests too, are ramping up.

Trump before: "I'm OK releasing the full footage of us blowing up the boat."

Trump now: "I never said that! Fake news! You're a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE reporter!!" (Of course it was a woman.)

...Reporters--why, WHY, for the love of God WHY!!--do you not yet show up at every press briefing with a little video queued up on your phone, showing which Trump quote you're going to ask Trump about, so the VERY MOMENT he denies ever saying it, LIKE YOU SHOULD KNOW HE WILL, you can quickly say, "Here, Mr. President," & play his own words RIGHT THERE IN THE MOMENT with cameras on you? As opposed to offering some mealy-mouthed fact check later when no one is paying attention anymore. WHY in this age of instant videos & smart phones do NONE of you do this? WHY??

No wonder a senile old bat like Trump (can't remember what he said a day or so ago) continues to win the media war.

Yay! After 2 years, the left-side control of my reclining couch repaired itself!

Laziness totally pays off!

And so does thriftiness!

Two years ago, I spilled some drink onto the control. From that point forward, one of the buttons stopped working. I used a workaround by pressing two other buttons. I also looked for a replacement, but I decided they were too expensive.

I also opened the control to see if there was an easy fix, but there wasn't.

So I used the workaround all this time, but today I found that the button that did not work anymore works.

So if someone gets on your case to repair something, just say that you're giving it a good two years to see if it will repair itself.

Hey, if you're learning to record audio, make music, mix, all that stuff, please realize that in the year 2025 a good amount, if not most, of the advice you see on Youtube is bullshit. Some of it is exaggerated, some is misinformed, some is just totally wrong.

Like everything else it's been taken over by complete nonsense for clicks.

ExplorerRS is a map style for #OsmAnd I'm finally happy with. The pastel colors are similar to #Mapycom, which are very popular here. When you zoom out, the right amount of detail is removed. Really nice work! 👌

Having had a number of great one on one discussions with people at the bsd conferences and friends, I do have to say the group of two works really well.

I search for "Prometheus monitor AWS auto scaling servers" and get tons of links back, mostly about kubernetes, k8s, EKS.. etc

I add -kubernetes -k8s to the search and it drops to 2 search results.

Does nobody use just EC2 instances with ASGs?

We are living in the worst timeline.

Effective December 10, 2025, Aira calls will no longer be available on Envision glasses. Envision features will continue to function, with only Aira calling capabilities ending on that date.

Technology is evolving quickly, and we are continuing to explore integration and expansion of wearable options. Current hands-free alternatives we support:
Meta smart glasses, Agiga EchoVision (includes special benefits for Aira Explorers).

For support switching devices or to learn more about Aira compatible options, contact our Care Team at 1-800-835-1934 or support@aira.io.

Přátelé Fediverse,

na mamutovo.cz nově zavádíme schvalování registrací.
Důvodem je zvýšená aktivita botů, které se v posledních dnech snaží hromadně zakládat účty.

Pro běžné uživatele se nic nemění – noví členové jsou vítáni, jen jejich registraci ručně potvrdíme.
Opatření je dočasné a zrušíme ho, jakmile se situace uklidní.

Díky za pochopení. ❤️

We could use a "reschedule all jobs" button in Pleroma that updates all the Oban jobs to be reschedule to attempt *now* instead of whatever the current retry/backoff time is, which after an unexpected outage could be a long time (days, even)

It's easy to do with SQL but silly that you have to I guess

China cured Parkinson's. Returned motor control. Functionally cured. This probably means we can use a similar technique to repair any other neurological disorder caused by cell death.

But also why not anything else? If we can make these precursor stem cells replace something missing there's so much we could do with it

RE: newsie.social/@ProPublica/1156…

In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence. Instead, the two houses, which are next to his historic Mar-a-Lago estate, were used as investment properties and rented out, according to contemporaneous news accounts and an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario his administration has pointed to as evidence of fraud.

2. Are we going to have the "It's not an Alphabet Product so were going to bitch at you because WE can't see EVERYTHING" argument again? Reminder, I'm an hour from Mountain View and have a "less than stellar attitude".

We have the password reveal pattern for passwords, but what about other sensitive fields that need to be readable while editing and obfuscated while at rest? The form-obfuscator web component does exactly that.
