A healthy #democracy focuses on fixing its own foundational issues rather than projecting an image of perfection abroad. We need less rhetoric about American greatness and more genuine, constructive self-reflection. #AmericanExceptionalism #GlobalPolitics #SelfReflection

Long live @bsky.app #Microsoft owns both #LinkedIn and #Copilot, yet the platform's idea of a groundbreaking update is tweaking icon colours. This classic lazy #monopoly behaviour is exactly why new #tech communities built on transparent salaries and 0️⃣ AI noise are gaining traction

#OpenAI is reportedly preparing a post-election campaign promoting #AI safeguards and a new framing for data-centre infrastructure. The proposal raises a wider question: will changing the terminology address communities’ concerns about #electricity demand, #water use and local #accountability?

#Meta: We're just updating our commercial terms! 😇 🇬🇧: You're forcing businesses to feed your #AI or lose access. 🛑

Meta is just using its dominance to force publishers and advertisers to hand over their content to build Meta’s own AI tools—with absolutely zero choice in the matter. :/ #AI #TechRegulation #Meta

The ultimate squeeze: #Meta wants your content to fuel its own services, and if you're a publisher, you basically have to agree or lose access to billions of users. The #UK's #CMA is officially investigating whether this forced surrender of content is an illegal #monopoly abuse.

Ordinary days are where extraordinary lives are built.

Ukraine needs Patriots now—not years from now. 🇺🇦 The US approved a possible $2.1B sale of 500 interceptors, but delivery could take years. #Ukraine #NATO #WorldNews

The Apple/Tesla rivalry is peak #SiliconValley lore. Apple started poaching #Tesla engineers in 2015 for Project Titan. Musk retaliated by publicly trashing #Apple for years. How did it end? Apple quietly surrendered its #EV dreams in 2024, and #Elon posted a cigarette emoji. Game over.

Running your coding tasks across #ClaudeCode, #Codex, and #OpenCode is the fastest way to reveal each AI assistant's unique strengths and blind spots.

No need for costumes, Donald Trump around any children is already terrifying.

If you're constantly capping out your API keys, check your #context windows. Rate limits are essentially just a tax on inefficient logic and sloppy #prompting.

Bolja Srbija počinje od nas: moramo da vratimo odgovornost i promenimo način na koji tretiramo jedni druge. ​Preduslov za ozdravljenje zemlje je povratak morala.

Potpuno shvatam političku potrebu i kao posledicu toga najavu nove vlasti da će očuvati kurs dinara, ali red je znati da je taj kurs za oko 40% naduvan: za toliko je, naime, od uspostavljanja pariteta RSD/EUR bila veća inflacija u Srbiji nego u Evro-zoni. A paritet je ostao isti. (...)

The Soviet Union was one of the world’s very worst polluters, generating far more industrial air pollution per unit of economic output than Western capitalist countries.

A frozen temple in the woods where stories are bled, not written. The storm outside is nothing compared to the devotion within. He is bound to his keeper now, forever a captive god. 🖋️🏔️ #Misery1990 #stephenking

Not every task needs automating. 🙂 ​The urge to #automate everything is strong, but some tasks are worth keeping manual. They build #relationships, or they sharpen your #judgement. Hand those off to a script and you save a few minutes, but you lose the part...

The ultimate hardware firewall. 🔨🔌

The future of humanity shouldn’t be decided by an unelected boardroom of #SiliconValley billionaires. Senator Bernie Sanders is right to call out #BigTech #oligarchs pushing an unchecked race toward artificial #Superintelligence.

The Black Death reshaped #Europe's biodiversity: historical pollen records suggest farming collapse changed plant diversity. History offers lessons for modern conservation. #Science #Biodiversity #History

True #democracy doesn't come from the top down—it rises from the #grassroots up. History shows that #PeoplePower and collective #action will always outlast those who cling to control. ✊🔥

The one thing Japan couldn't keep was the #flipphone because the 3G network was shut down. :-/ Japan ❤️s #retrotech

Japan is the world's biggest market for physical #music, with about half of revenue still coming from # CDs and other formats. #Sony is ending recordable Blu-ray media, yet the shelves stay full. #retrotech #tech

Japan declared war on the #floppydisk in 2022. Sony stopped making them in 2011. The last holdout, a vehicle recycling rule, fell in 2024. Meanwhile, the #hanko, the red-ink personal seal, still outranks a signature, and even the digital fix is made to look analog. #Japan #retrotech #floppy

In #Japan, the #fax machine isn't dying; it's aging with its owners. 23.6% of households still have one, but under 1% of households headed by twentysomethings do. Among those in their early seventies, it's 41%. Even 71.7% of public schools use it daily

While $100 million sounds astronomical, it is a strategic bargain for him: the 5% one-time tax would cost Brin an estimated $13 billion on his roughly $260 billion net worth. #wealtHTAX #California #SergeyBrin #Google

Political spending in #California just hit a new high thanks to #Google cofounder #SergeyBrin. He has poured an unbelievable $100 million into the campaign opposing the state's #wealth #tax initiative.

Sleek, lightning-fast, and legendary for being perfectly on time. 🚅 There’s nothing quite like the engineering marvel of the Japanese #Shinkansen! Whether you're zooming across the country or just admiring their futuristic design at the platform, they never fail to impress. 🇯🇵✨ #train #rail #japan
