I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!

It disappoints me that the level of regulatory capture prevents these companies from being held to account.

Intel: Laptop Processors, Future Chips Not Affected by CPU Bug in c/[email protected]

I've got one of those laptop chips and I feel exactly the same. I'm going to be watching my temps very closely. My trust is absolutely gone

how's your week going, Beehaw in c/[email protected]

1 year in and this job still seems just as cryptic and difficult. Very little documentation about the systems here and the imposter syndrome is feeling more like a reality than a pathology.

I'm about to look into different work.

I like this very much! I'll bring this up to my mayor next time I see him. Big thank.

Maybe it's appropriate and not just coincidence that I saw this post https://beehaw.org/post/14861248 so close to yours. Maybe it's an explanation for what you think maybe it's not who am I to know

Thanks for the introduction

ASML and TSMC Can Remotely Disable Chip Machines If China Invades Taiwan in c/[email protected]

But if China sees chip making as a state asset, I wonder if, knowing this, they may now be able to prevent it.

Hmm

They were exceptionally difficult to find to install the app. That alone will keep them from being successful. Add to that that the app is not particularly impressive... I'm not sure if their chances.

Google adds tracking to Google docs documents? (fosstodon.org)
 

Title says it all. Somewhat interesting if true. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

archive.is links (beehaw.org)
 

What's the deal with all these archive.is links? All they do is send me to infinite capcha loops. I don't get it.

Is the destruction of Twitter and Reddit a conspiracy or am I just paranoid? (beehaw.org)
 

I've had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and fight the power?

There are so many other ways things are engineered to benefit the minority and prevent the majority from gaining power, why not this too?

Just a thought rattling around in my head.

SERIES: What the media won't tell you about . . . U.S. heat waves (rogerpielkejr.substack.com)
 

This article/blog concerns me for a number of reasons.

  • First, if the right sees this, they're just going to use this as a talking point to disprove global warming.
  • Second, it illustrates that the media is playing us, yet again, to serve it's own intre$ts, and that's disheartening.
  • Finally, people (in general) are unable to process nuance and will not understand that there's definitely worse to come and that we're unprepared for the heat waves that we have now, which I believe the author shows are not as relatively severe as they were in the 30s and will be more severe in the coming years with the impacts of global warming.

I think maybe I need to read my news rss feed less.

Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media (open.substack.com)
 

This article from 2022 does a very good job of capturing the social media landscape and the condition of political discourse right now. It highlights one thing that I've been hearing a lot and agree with, the cruelty is the point.
