It seems painfully obvious that we gotta do something about the the current ludicrous level of inequality. Dunno if this is it, but glad they’re trying.

I've tried the Excel, PowerPoint and Word vibe working tools now - you can give it any incredibly dumb idea and it'll write papers, presentations and make up data justifying it.
For bonus points, if you don't know it's a dumb idea... you won't know still.
The future is now. Vibe going out of business, soon.
Even though it's a complication for me as a maintainer, I approve it.

Google just erased 7 years of our political history
Google appears to have deleted its political ad archive for the EU; so the last 7 years of ads, of political spending, of messaging, of targeting - on YouTube, on Search and for display ads - for countless elections across 27 countries - is all gone.Liz Carolan (The Briefing)

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic on #AI:
[T]he AI bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential, who are desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector, e.g. "pivot to video," crypto, blockchain, NFTs, AI, and now "super-intelligence." Further: the topline growth that AI companies are selling comes from replacing most workers with AI, and re-tasking the surviving workers as AI babysitters ("humans in the loop"), which won't work. Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:pluralistic.net/2025/05/27/ran…
The only thing […] that we can do about this is to puncture the AI bubble as soon as possible, to halt this before it progresses any further and to head off the accumulation of social and economic debt. To do that, we have to take aim at the material basis for the AI bubble (creating a growth story by claiming that defective AI can do your job).

THIS, from the irreplaceable @pluralistic@mamot.fr : "#AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations." https://pluralistic.mas.to
This is so spot on, that it's almost poetry:
"The AI bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential"

It wasn't updated since 2018, but we still see regular downloads by F-Droid clients for it. We'd like to know if it's still useful – or if those having installed it via our repo were rather disappointed by a non-working up, but didn't report it to us.

Přidal jsem na #VHSky další dva kanály z #Fediverse:
U kanálu pachichu@makertube.net můžete spokojeně prokrastinovat při sledování kreslení a jiné tvorby
janbeta@makertube.net zase opravuje elektroniku, takže se u něj můžete leccos přiučit.
Snad se kanály budou líbit :)
CSS is kinda fabulous r/n. I've got this nested table of contents for a page that's sticky along the side as you scroll, list of links and details/summaries with nested lists, that is both a scrollspy with whatever is currently visible, but also automatically opens and closes the details! ALL WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT.
A wonderful combo of scroll-target-group and :target-current for the scrollspy, ::details-content w/content-visible for the details opening, a healthy use of :has, and ofc pos: sticky.
CSS-only scrollspy effect using scroll-marker-group and :target-current

Did you know: There are many completely *free* sample libraries these days, some could help you end up in writing for your next film, documentary, podcast or TV show?
Andre wrote this piece of intro music for the podcast using purely *free* libraries and nothing else.
