Shoes to AI, whut?

Struggling shoe retailer Allbirds makes bizarre pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes more than 400%
Allbirds announced a deal with American Exchange Group to sell its intellectual property and other assets for $39 million in March.Lola Murti (CNBC)
sometimes I wish I had been born with a moral compass of “make money at the cost of everything else.” It would be somuch easier than actually caring about things.
Not only is this company pivoting from shoes to AI, they are pivoting from “let’s produce shoes with less plastic because it’s more sustainable” to “we’re going to buy a bunch of computers to add to how fast the other AI data centers can burn the world down.”

So far, only about 1% of the British electorate has registered an interest in having a vote on channeling water management away from dumping effluent for profit and instead into public ownership for health.
Perhaps we can bump the numbers a bit, at least to the point where how not to enshittify what we drink and cook with might be debated by MPs?

Petition: Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership
Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

"Currently, the bill is only in the introductory stage so it hasn't yet passed and become law, so if this is important to you in the US you may want to speak to your representatives."
it's amusing how every time a law like this comes into the spotlight, someone just HAS to say "speak to your reps"
that doesn't do anything, they do NOT care. they are owned and paid for by billion dollar companies and individuals.
alternative strategies might work, and more people need to do those instead.

because you are being a bit of an arse about what I wrote. People do need to speak up, and speak to their reps - otherwise nothing changes.
This is why I rarely engage, especially here, such stupid attitudes.

For all those that think Wayland is the wrong path to go:
"The technical reason why this issue stayed open this long comes down to X11. [...] The KWin maintainer Martin Flöser had said as much in 2013, effectively ruling it out for the entire KDE 4.x series. The only realistic path was through Wayland"

Another train journey. And it's time for another accessibility rant.
When Deutschebahn announced they were buying some level access Intercity stock (later to be named the ICE L). I was pleased. Finally DB were understanding that accessibility was important.
Except when the first trains rolled into Berlin Hbf in December, it became very obvious that DB had entirely failed to understand the assignment.
Please mind the gap between your expectations and the service actually delivered.
1/n
"But there are gap fillers in the only coach with wheelchair space". I can hear some apologists typing.
This is one of the biggest misconceptions of accessible design. That only wheelchair users need it.
What about parents with kids in a pushchair? Or people with heavy wheeled luggage? Or people who walk with a frame? Or crutches? Or people with balance issue? Or travelling with young children?
Just like how the curb cut effect makes the built environment better for everyone.
5/n
Accessible design makes the train easier to use for everyone. What Deutschebahn has said here is "fuck you all, we'll do the absolute bare minimum". The excellent writer @WeirdWriter has an article about door handle design with the line: "show me your doorknobs, and I’ll tell you who you are"
Show me the entrance to your nations trains and I'll tell you your country's attitude to anywho isn't perfectly able bodied. And the attitude from DB is somewhere between fuck you & the bare minimum.

We all knew this day was coming, over a decade ago we knew it. They intend to make it impossible to organize either online or via the mail, or via phone.
All of it is scanned, monitored, and attached to identifying phone numbers, physical addresses, and IP addresses already.
This new law is just to scoop up the last remnants of independent computing.
The revolution will not be online.
Eine Frage an die Admins hier im Fediverse. Im Admininterface von @netcup gibt es die Möglichkeit #DNSSEC für die Domain zu aktivieren. Ich meine mich zu erinnern, dass ich das vor ~2 Jahren schon mal aktiv hatte es aber zu Problemen bei der Erreichbarkeit der Domain geführt hat.
Allerdings würde ich diese Option gerne wieder aktivieren. Gibt es hier irgendetwas zu beachten? Sollte man beim Apache oder anderswo irgendwas konfigurieren?
