> This statement stopped us in our tracks. It was the most direct acknowledgement we have heard from Powell that the Fed is largely powerless to combat significant structural changes in the economy. This statement was the final puzzle piece for the warning bells we have been sounding for months now, leading to this comprehensive post.

The Carney government's suspension of the EV mandate has nothing to do with “pragmatism” or “moderation” as I heard an interviewee say on the CBC this morning.

It's about the Ontario car industry realizing they don't make EVs or even Hybrids that can compete with Korea, Japan, or Europe (let alone China).

People want them. BC is at 20% new (the mandated level), Quebec is at 30%. Those are the #2 and #3 most populous provinces in Canada btw.

It's politics, and... specifically with Carney, cowardice, nothing else. BC’s Energy Minister Adrian Dix called it out

“I want to say this: Their target for this year, we achieved four years ago,” Dix said of the existing federal electric vehicle mandates. “The issue here in Canada -- and I think the federal government needs to engage in this a little bit -- is first and foremost with Ontario.”

Ontario drove Carney’s decision to suspend EV mandate: B.C. Energy Minister Dix

British Columbia’s energy minister says the federal decision to delay its electric vehicle sales mandate largely reflects circumstances in Ontario, and Ottawa should follow through on a more Canada-wide policy after its review.

Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.

Stay safe poverty ghost.

if you’ve been living under a rock these past few months before today’s #AppleEvent here’s two links as a quick refresher on Tim Cook’s latest fascist bootlicking asshattery:

Tim Cook says ‘thank you’ 8 times in less than two minutes at dinner with Donald Trump msn.com/en-in/news/India/tim-c…

FWIW : if you’re a minority targeted by fascists, Apple’s closed ecosystem is now a hostage situation with Cook’s allegiance to Trump

Nvidia’s Rally Faces a Reality Check

Citi’s price cut and rising competition test Nvidia’s dominance. While NVDA still leads AI infrastructure with soaring revenues and strong demand for Blackwell chips, challenges from Broadcom, hyperscalers, and China are real. Long-term strength remains, but it’s no longer a “buy at any cost” stock.

Is Meta the Next Nvidia? A Deep Dive into Its AI Potential

Meta is quietly becoming a serious AI contender, with $72B in AI infrastructure spending, superintelligence labs, and open-source Llama models. Despite 30% YTD stock gains, it trades at a big discount to Nvidia. With 3.48B daily users and massive cash flow, Meta offers muted downside and huge AI upside.

Yesterday, the Oaxaca state government, headed by the "leftist" MORENA party, unveiled 75 new assault rifles for the state police purchased from Israel Weapons Industries.

Devs: if you're keeping a device on iOS 18/watchOS 10/etc. for testing, now is a good time to go turn off automatic updates!

If you've instead been using your only non-primary device as a 26 testing device, now's a good time to wipe it and restore the old OS onto it if you need it.

Starting next week, it'll get a LOT harder to install these outgoing OSes. Now's the time.

Understand the timeline here:

1. Trump announced that he's coordinated a peace deal between Israel and Hamas and demanded Hamas come to the table to finalize it

2. Hamas came to the table and met in Qatar to mediate and finalize the peace deal

3. With Trump's support and coordination, Israel bombed the Hamas negotiators who were there for Trump's peace deal

These are war crimes. If you still believe "retrieving the hostages" was ever a priority for Israel, then you're lying to yourself.

There's going to be more speak about AIs finding genuine security problems soon.

Google Big Sleep found one in #curl that we reveal tomorrow.... in about eight hours. (but no, we don't know how much was AI and how much was human or how many false positives they had to wade through to get there etc maybe they will let us know later?)

I just went to put a paintbrush in some paint, one side of the brush hit the edge of the water jar hard, I lost control of it and it flipped up, somersaulted twice, flew over my desk lamp, hit the window, and then landed in a potted plant.

I walk through life knowing there are Olympic gold medals waiting for me, in events that don't yet exist.

I once saw this blogpost (I believe linked by @niko) about how critical it is to design applications to work on low-bandwidth with good UI/UX for that scenario, or preferably offline-first

honestly, I don't remember that blogpost mentioning not just stuff like the update UX or other bandwidth-heavy tasks, but even less heavy tasks like just sending a message

I feel that's overlooked often, and I'm honestly glad that XMPP, Delta.Chat and good ol' IRC help me in these times where my connection fucking stinks

"Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site Tuesday in the Park Avenue neighborhood after being confronted by more than 100 protestors.

The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the ICE-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed."

Just looked at the 1:1 of a low light picture taken by an android phone (not sure of the brand).

A painting of Monet is more realistic.

This is what all the camera manufacturer force people to use by no making a nice compact camera that doesn't cost an arm an a leg.

K AI pristupuju hodne kriticky a tak jsem rad, ze si muzu do sbirky anekdot pridat success story s AI a vyrobou hodne narocneho kusu kodu.

V nedeli v noci jsme se domluvili, ze Single od Quin spustime v nove podobe UI s custom SnapDrawerem™

Naflakal jsem verzi s AI za 6 hodin cisteho casu (3 hodiny pred deadlinem) a dnes 4 hodiny cistil.

Ve finale jsem spokojeny i s vystupem i s kodem.

Single tu:

Do SnapDraweru pribude i cool sticky music player!
