And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

“The Penrose tiling somehow knew about quantum error correction before the invention of the quantum computer.” —Latham Boyle
Never-Repeating Tiles Can Safeguard Quantum Information | Quanta Magazine
Two researchers have proved that Penrose tilings, famous patterns that never repeat, are mathematically equivalent to a kind of quantum error correction.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Do we have an open-source phone alternative? Like the Linux of the cellular world?
I am soo tired of the bullshit. No more of this, "I hate it, but I guess I'll try and see if I get used to it" bullshit. I'm done. I use my phone constantly for business but I will absolutely ditch it completely. I'm not going to accept corporate extortion in exchange for convenience.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived.
Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.

I’ve also felt we are on an inevitable path to another #J6. I would love to see a cogent explanation of our other paths forward.
When this was posted yesterday, it was inevitable that I share it here. It's just one of those things.. You knew it was coming so the point of discussing it is moot. The comment section in this thread, others already said all that needs to be said.
