👏 Washington State Rep Matt Marshall (R) now sponsors HB 2119 to ditch Daylight Saving Time—thank you! 👉 Permanent Standard Time is naturally best for health. Please tell your WA state legislators to sponsor HB 2119 and SB 5001 in 2026!
"The human circadian system does not adjust to Daylight Saving Time. Sleep becomes disrupted, less efficient, shortened... Permanent Standard Time is the healthier, more natural choice."

mhoye @mhoye@mastodon.social If I understand this correctly the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn't been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn't exist to populate GPUs that also haven't been produced to go in datacenters that haven't been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn't exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can't exist while economists talk about this thing they call the "rational markets hypothesis".

Why Humanoid Robots Still Can’t Survive in the Real World

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

This view is wrong

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

Social media was once positioned as the great connecting force that would improve our world. If it ever did that, it certainly isn’t now.

We must rein in these platforms, and deceptive narratives aimed at stopped regulation isn’t helping. Age restrictions are an experiment worth trying.
Social media causes more harm than good
We need to stop falling for anti-regulation hysteria if we’re to get control of digital harms

På patriarkiets side.
