The people selling shovels in a gold rush are the people who have a financial interest in creating unrealistic expectations about the likelihood you'll find gold.
This was true for the gold rush.
It was true for Bitcoin.
It's true for AI.
You know how people used to keep polaroids from their holidays?
Well I've started doing the same thing. Except... I got a polaroid printer, and I print screen shots I've taken in video games I've played.
Digital holidays. Vintage mementos of spaces that don't really exist.
Four Passengers Die in Burning Tesla After Electronic Doors Seemingly Won't Open

The image is a statement from President Donald J. Trump, dated November 12, 2024. It features a logo at the top with the words "TRUMP VANCE TRANSITION" in blue and red letters, with five red stars above the word "TRUMP."
The statement announces that Elon Musk, in collaboration with Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency, abbreviated as "DOGE." The goal is to dismantle government bureaucracy, reduce regulations, cut expenditures, and restructure federal agencies as part of the "Save America" movement. Elon Musk is quoted as saying that this will send shockwaves through the system and affect many involved in government waste.
The statement describes this initiative as potentially the "Manhattan Project" of the time, aiming for drastic changes with guidance from outside the government. It will partner with the White House and the Office of Management & Budget for large-scale reform and an entrepreneurial approach to government.
The statement expresses anticipation for Musk and Ramaswamy to improve federal bureaucracy efficiency and reduce government spending, which is stated to be $6.5 trillion annually. The work is expected to conclude by July 4, 2026, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The statement ends with confidence in their success.

My fellow human beings.
Before joining Bluesky.
You should read about Cory Doctorow's description of the Enshittification process.
The first part of the process is vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, even if it results in a loss of money. The idea is to get market share.
I fear that mankind is trapped in an endless cycle with social media.

Hey, Who fans. Sadly, Mastodon didn't pan out the way I hoped, there wasn't much of a community that built up and there still isn't that much really. So...
We've just set up on Bsky if you want to connect and chat there - bsky.app/profile/bigblueboxpod… and (for now at least) still on X/Twitter - x.com/bigblueboxpcast
Whatever social channel you're on, let's connect and chat #DoctorWho
For now, Mastodon, peace out. It's been fun.

@thunderbird Hey Thunderbird!
So the Android app is finally there. Yay! Job well done! And the export QR code is visible, too!
Buuuut. On the very same email Server, with the very same connection options, 1 account can be exported, 3 are not shown. The only difference? The Username and password.
Is this known?

Oder wie macht Ihr das?
Tens of thousands of exposed D-Link routers that have reached their end-of-life are vulnerable to a critical security issue that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to change any user's password and take complete control of the device.
Sorry, but requiring me to provide an email address is a paywall. It's worth something to both of us.
Otherwise you wouldn't ask for it.
