JD Vance: "People don’t have any idea how bad the corruption is in Washington DC."
Jeremiah Johnson: "It's amazing how Republicans control every branch of government and still speak of 'Washington DC' like it's someone else. Trump is currently suing the federal government and directing his […]
"The “SLCOE – system-based LCOE for comparing energy technologies in different systems” study, led by Henrik Lund of Aalborg University, introduces system-based levelized cost of energy (SLCOE) as an alternative to the standard LCOE metric. LCOE only measures the cost of producing a unit of […]
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

I think it's pretty cool that the Fediverse has grown to the point where I learned about not one, but TWO relevant demonstrations in my own tiny city of Regina, Saskatchewan!
One is today at 10 at the courthouse in Regina to support citizens […]
(A LinkedIn screenshot) Millions of people look up to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. My role model is Daniel Stenberg. You've never heard of him. His code runs on 10 billion devices, including the one you're reading this post on. He started building cURL in 1996. It handles data transfer on nearly every phone, console, smart TV, 47 car brands, and it was on the Mars helicopter. He's also the person who's kept it going for nearly 30 years.
After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...
Have a good Friday everyone!

32 years ago I started working on my first browser, Opera. I left Opera in 2011, but two years later I co-founded Vivaldi. Thus I have been making browsers now for 32 years, with a short break there between 2011 and 2013.
I have always felt that this work is important and no less today than […]

I am a proud Jewish American.
My father fled Poland in 1921 to escape poverty and antisemitism.
Those in his family who stayed were murdered by the Nazis.
Since childhood, I have known very well where antisemitism, racism, fanaticism and demagoguery lead.
So let me be clear.
Speaking out […]

thank you. That is an excellent article about #claude and #CognitiveDebt. I am surprised that more people are not talking about this and no one is talking about the solution to this.
It’s tempting, addictive even, to rapidly produce code for your technical and business stories.

ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰”

My four-year-old and I stopped to check on someone who was getting arrested today.
She had made it clear that she did want help, and I checked on with my kid as well before approaching.
The police officer tried to tell me off. "Do you think this is the kind of thing you want your kid to see? […]
Once more for the people at the back: EVs ARE NOT HERE TO FIX THE CLIMATE, THEY'RE HERE TO SAVE TO MOTOR INDUSTRY
Estonia is correct. The responsibility to keep children safe falls on adults and platform operators, not on the kids. If social media isn't safe for children, it's not safe for adults either, because the safety this is about isn't about the content, but of what the platforms do with our data […]

Google and Microsoft - the global email service duopoly - block other services in the name of "fighting spam".
I get it. Spam is a perpetual arms race. But the opaqueness of Google and Microsoft's practices and decades-long predatory […]

I updated the book in 2023 too, so it's still quite fresh. Get it while it's cheap. :) […]
Trump with Orban doing thumbs up. Caption: YOU’RE NEXT, DONALD.
Republicans: now’s the time to come clean! Tell what you know. Shut him down. Or else the people are coming for you too!

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.
PSA: If your guy is attacking the Pope chances are he’s not the good guy in the story
All I can say is that I hope they keep Vance busy on the campaign trail this year.
Fidesz' massive defeat comes despite:
- multiple active Russian disinformation campaigns
- the US government actively supporting Fidesz
- Fidesz owning the majority of TV & radio stations + newspapers
- Fidesz having gerrymandered the crap out of the country
- many documented cases of voter […]
Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.

I had Jehovah's Witnesses round this morning (not a very common occurrence round here).
Them: "Do you ever think about the future?"
Me: "I'm a climate scientist, I think it about the future all the time.."
