As Senator Cory Booker passes the time for longest speech on the senate floor, it is important to remind our representatives that this is the type of resistance we need in order to effect change. We must all speak out to continue to keep this conversation going! #nokings
Now at over 20 Hours and more than 61,000 viewers on the YouTube stream , Senator Cory Booker is speaking up and representing those of us that oppose the shift to authoritarianism. The Senators that supported him in this effort should be listed and applauded as well.
It is pretty incredible to watch Senator Cory Booker holding the #Senate floor with a #Filibuster for more than 12 Hours now - www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ut...

If the Republicans truly have a mandate, then let them bring the votes. Democratic leaders should not comply in advance. #nocr #nocloture. Dem leaders seem to think that the Replublicans are following the old rules. I am certain they are not and you must meet them head on.

The unpredictable nature of global financial markets and the turmoil being wrought by the United States uncertain trade policy is exactly the reason that our retirement should not be privitized. It is not an entitlement, we pay for the program. Some do not pay their share. #politics

So it sounds like the President of the US just laid out his authoritarian agenda and threatened to forcibly remove anyone that resists... wtf #SOTU

This is definitely notable; I too try to select the required minimums only to be confronted with "Accept" instead of "Save my Selections". The number of "Partner Cookies" is out of control and I don't think non-tech people understand just how much data they are sharing.
Reading #blogs and #articles has changed. More and more people are using these #consent forms and there is no "Deny All" or "required minimal" option. You need to go through a list to disable dozens.

I am not interested in that, so the blog/article is skipped—privacy over content. #Cookieterror

They say that it is not going to have a material impact to their business. But this is a pretty big announcement. Obviously a slap at Broadcom www.theregister.com/2024/12/16/i...

At least some good news for #intel today, it looks like the #Battlemage cards are getting good reviews. I don't think it does a lot for the company as a whole, but they could certainly use some praise right now. gamersnexus.net/gpus/intel-a...

Speaking with a customer recently about securing a small DMZ cluster without incurring additional expenses. My intrusive thoughts suggested just running a standalone host, but then I thought, Ha. No one would do that now a days.. www.theregister.com/2024/07/03/g...

It will be interesting to see if this appeases any customers that were already considering a move.

It is a shame, I believe that Pat was responsible for a sizable positive culture shift at VMware prior to the Broadcom acquisition and He may well have been trying to bring that innovation focus back to Intel, but he made numerous errors and never really had the trust of the investors...
