#PPOD: Aringa Ora O Te Tupuna (The Living Face of the Ancestors)

Award-winning photographer Josh Dury captured this stunning picture of the Milky Way over Easter Island and some of its famous Maoi. From his Instagram post: "A truly unforgettable night from one of the darkest places on Earth, surrounded by a place and a community that is close to my heart. One of the most powerful, emotional moments of my life."

The Milky Way is a thick, dusty band almost parallel to the bottom of this image. In the foreground are at least four Moai statues on the hill side of Easter Island.

Buttigieg on rape
Once more this statement by Pete Buttigieg is being passed around. It's a goody! But it needs to have a proper attribution. Here is where you can find some good information.

Is This Pete Buttigieg's Defense of Late-Term Abortions?

A transcript reproduces Pete Buttigieg's response when he was asked whether there should be any temporal limit on a woman's right to have an abortion.

El discurso con el que Musk presume de sus robots evidencia el preocupante "problema de diseño" que tenemos los humanos

Los robots iban a nacer para sustituirnos en los trabajos más penosos y peligrosos. Ahora, se están diseñando para sustituirnos en nuestras facetas más humanas.

El discurso con el que Musk presume de sus robots evidencia el preocupante 'problema de diseño' que tenemos los humanos

Musk prometió que sus robots Optimus podrán cuidar a los niños, pasear al perro o cortar el césped: eso dice más de nosotros como especie de lo que te imaginas.

Completamente.

Es lo que más profundamente me desalienta del rollo "IA", la robótica y tecnología en general: lo deprimente y profundamente deshumanizante de las aplicaciones que se proponen (que además se proponen con un enfoque de "tengo una herramienta, para qué la uso" y no al revés).

You ever seen something so painfully out of touch and oblivious it hurts?
A post on LinkedIn from Notion that reads: AI is reshaping our digital landscape much like plastic transformed our physical world. With fascinating parallels between AI and plastic—such as versatility, efficiency, and potential for innovation. And just as plastic enabled entirely new products, AI is opening doors to tools and workflows we couldn't have imagined before.🚪 How can we harness AI's qualities to create truly transformative tools, that complement rather than replace our human intelligence? Read more → An image below shows a bunch of plastic looking furniture with the phrase "AI is the new plastic"

Read about True Value hardware declaring bankruptcy today: finance.yahoo.com/news/true-va…

Which seemed odd to me, as they've been around for long time selling low-priced items.

It took me exactly one search to find perhaps another reason beyond the claimed "the housing market stalled and consumers have become far more picky about discretionary purchases like hardware” for the news:

Historically it was a cooperative owned by retailers, but in 2018 it was purchased by ACON Investments.

That didn't last long - the Junk Store for Steam Deck has its Steam page removed

A few days ago I wrote about the Junk Store coming to Steam, a special plugin for Steam Deck to bring GOG and Epic Games compatibility unnoficially - but it seems to be a short lived idea.

seems like a reasonable policy tbh. I think there would be an avenue for officially sanctioned plugins like that, but I understand the argument. They'd probably need to implement a solid and contained plugin system themselves first.

In 1951 a tiny piece of tumour was taken, without knowledge or consent, from Henrietta Lacks. The extraordinarily malignant cancer killed her, but in the lab the cells, known as HeLa, continued to live and divide, becoming the first ever functionally immortal human cell line. HeLa was used for numerous scientific advances and her cells are traded around the world for serious money; it is estimated they collectively weigh more than 50 million tons...

A picture of the author, a white male in his late 40s with blond hair and glasses, looking into the camera. He is sitting in a maker studio with white walls and a variety of things surrounding him. He is wearing a black t-shirt with a Mastodon illustration in a cartoony style, and there is a large plush Mastodon toy over his right shoulder. There is a microphone and pop shield in the foreground.
