Aaaaaaaaaaannd another L for Elon and his fellow fascists. Keep 'em up!
If there was ever a symbol of why we need to get big money out of politics, reform campaign financing, stop conflicts of interest, and tax great wealth, Elon Musk is it.
Kudos to Susan Crawford on this big victory for democracy, labor rights, and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.
Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.
This is who Trump governs for.

GOP: It's only okay if we do it!
Every Republican screaming for judges to be impeached because they are blocking Trump's illegal power grab were awfully quiet when we learned about billionaires handing out gifts and vacations to SCOTUS justices — who then ruled on cases despite major conflicts of interest.

Heaven help you if you try to remove a confederate statue, though. Apparently it's only okay to remove historical icons if they're people of color. #racist

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

As an IT tech, I cannot tell you how crucial it is to keep your stuff up-to-date. I also cannot tell you how many people fail to grasp this simple concept.
The latest Chrome update may or may not personally affect you, but the vast majority of them are “security patches that patch these little tiny holes that may or may not be exploited in the real world,” EFF’s @thorinklosowski.com told @huffpost.com.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

So are we just allowing all the companies to opebly steal everything? Hypocricy or tech ignorance on the long-term repurcussions? Hard to say.
The silly language on the page is mostly legalese for trying to state that for the future of the US, America needs to develop AI as an interest of national security and remove guardrails that make it “harder to develop”.
They are referring to copyright.
Also they explicitly will not compensate.

OpenAI and Google ask the government to let them train AI on content they don’t own

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?
Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme it’s a promise that every American pays into so they can retire with dignity.

We just updated to kernel ver. 6.13 with NTSync, and added initial support for the ROG Z13 (audio + TDP)!
@etaprime.bsky.social made a nice video about the Z13 on Bazzite last week.

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023.
Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?
