All those years of forcing unwanted Pocket integration into Firefox end with an unceremonious shut down.

Pocket didn't even get to star in its own obituary, as Mozilla unwinds itself from anything that isn't its ai/advertisement business - meaning that Fakespot (which Mozilla bought just over 2 years ago) is also on the chopping block.

I also feel the need to point out a few months back, when I and others were criticising Firefox's new terms of service / privacy / AUP policy as being overbroad, inappropriate, and down right unethical (it still is)...one of the main category responses was "oh they are only saying they need to collect these categories of data, and require this ridiculously over the top license, things because of integrations...like Pocket"

mmm hmm.

Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, its read-it-later service.

May I recommend @wallabag as an alternative? I've used it happily for years.

On June 14, the current U.S. president will spend millions on a birthday parade for himself. Sorry, I mean a birthday parade for the U.S. army. If you want to join Womens' March on that day and help there be more participants in a march than watched the dumb parade, check out the event page here: womensmarch.com/kickouttheclow…

Just saw an FB post about using ultrasound to stimulate regions of the brain, to enhance memory, cognition, etc. Turns out this is an actual field of study, transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/…

If someone were to invest development resources into the Open Source ecosystem right now, improvements to which area would benefit the user experience across all device form factors (desktop, laptop, mobile etc.) the most? You can name both individual applications, libraries and subsystems as well as broader topics like e.g. "messaging".

Yes, datacenters are affecting consumer rates, and yes, utilities are gaming regulations to do it: lpeproject.org/blog/youre-payi… . The section HOW DATA CENTER COSTS CREEP INTO RATEPAYERS’ BILLS reviews regulations and details how costs are passed to consumers, which includes standard rate cases based on anticipated operating costs due to data centers--which become socialized costs--but also circumventing the rate case entirely via "special contracts".

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com @markhurst@mastodon.social


You’re Paying Big Tech’s Power Bill

By exploiting their monopolies and control over rate-setting processes, utility companies are shifting the costs of Big Tech’s voracious energy consumption onto an unwitting public.

there is zero new information in this article that has not been public knowledge for decades. They unashamedly presented this in our internal training classes on utility economics when I worked at a utility doing IT security.

To be clear: it has nothing to do with datacenters or AI. This is normal business.

Anyone who wants manufacturing to come back to the USA -- this is what it will look like. The utilities will sign sweetheart deals with the companies and regardless of efficiency/renewables lowering their energy production costs, the people will bear the burden.

Have a big factory in your town? The people are subsidizing that business.

Well, you seem to have a bone to pick that I'm not interested in picking.

For everyone else: the authors of the article are describing their own research on the subject whether it's "new information" according to the other guy or not; yes, utilities are controlled monopolies, despite the objection; and whether or not this is "normal" business, not everybody knows how this works, they should, and they absolutely should not be bullied into accepting it just because the guy above has chosen to. That's authoritarian thinking.

if you want to solve this problem you need to actually understand it and its history or you'll be undermined by the proponents of these policies.

Demand fair rate schedules / equity in pricing instead of whinging about datacenters and AI or the factory down the road will continue to get away with being subsidized because everyone is focusing on AI panic.

And then the AI and datacenter companies will continue buying power plants, privatized solar/wind farms, and building reactors to power themselves, everyone will forget about the issue because it has been "solved" on its own as they won't need these sweetheart contracts and the rest of industrial America will soldier on continuing to extract wealth out of their communities like a giant tick.

Attack the ROOT of the problem, not the symptoms.

I can only recommend #LibreOffice It will give you everything that Microsoft charges you for without it costing you a penny. It allows you to just save your work without being “dark path” pushed or forced to save it into a OneDrive “cloud” where they can see your information. It hasn’t got the subscription nonsense of MS365. We use it as Digital Champions with our digitally disadvantaged adults to teach them basic computer skills
