The stupidest thing wealthy people do is spend all of their money making sure they only ever see other wealthy people. Fucking rots their brains.

🇪🇺 On 29 June 1985, European leaders chose a symbol that would stand the test of time.
Twelve golden stars in a circle.
A powerful symbol of who we are and what we stand for: unity and peace, democracy and solidarity.

I was flying once and drinking a cup of tea, I looked out the window and just thought “why am I calm, like why are we all calm? All sat here pretending this is perfectly normal sitting and having tea with nothing but air under us for 30,000ft” and then went back to staring at the clouds.

@fastmail.com there’s plenty of people looking for ethical alternatives to O365/Google Workspace. Any thoughts on rounding out your features towards that? Cloud storage with sync and oauth2/saml might be enough IMHO

Anyone trying to improve public/active transport to reduce car dependency will be told they “don’t care about low income families who need cars.”
Low income families aren’t the ones driving, but they are the ones being killed by cars.
We need more safe and affordable car-free ways to get around.

A damning pair of charts.
People on lowest incomes own FIVE TIMES fewer cars than the richest do.
Meanwhile kids in most deprived areas are FIVE TIMES more likely to be injured by cars.

Whilst the author is talking about LLMs and coding, I think this article hits the nail on the head, and it applies to pretty much all complex uses of LLMs.

Re: My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts
There was a post recently that was dissing AI Skeptics. While the post is funny at times, I feel like it’s absolutely and completely missing the point of the skepticism. Or at least I feel that it is glossing over some massive pain points of said skepticism.
Let’s go over some of the points and the things that stuck out to me as problematic.

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source.
In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up.

Siri knows me so well, especially with an Apple Watch.
I was hopeful when I asked "Siri, why do I have a migraine?".
Like "you slept in this morning and you're probably dehydrated. Start there".
I was disappointed when it couldn't help. It didn't like being called useless. They had code for that.
