what tech people think wastes my time: writing code (need to replace with ai). what really wastes my time: trying to send money from my german online bank accounts on the web that require me to use a slow mobile app for 2fa that requires another password and a slider and also it crashes on start and i need to reboot the phone and what was i doing again?

You prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at https://noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.

I see they've dressed up the landing page there! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.

(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

The Conscience of a Hacker, also known as The Hacker Manifesto, turns 40 today!

Written by Loyd "The Mentor" Blankenship, its spirit still resonates with hackers and makers everywhere. A cornerstone of hacker culture.

"My crime is that of curiosity."

@evan no really, Machado is not popular in Venezuela, many people don't like her, so have more probability of negociación with Delcy that can betray Maduro and the goverment, similar that happened with Castillo/Boluarte in Peru, also Delcy will be the next president due the detention of Maduro according to the Venezuela constitution, Machado is nobody in Venezuela, is like Guido internationally

Lo de #Venezuela no es nuevo, es una historia ciclica en latam, como Allende en Chile, y Maduro no está cerca a ser un Allende, pero las intervenciones de #EEUU son iguales, quitando del camino a quien le incomoda, el deber del sur es solo callar y obedecer a su "amo", ya tiene el triangulo de litio, el canal de Panamá, ahora el petróleo Venezolano

I consider this a failure on our part but I don’t really know what to do about it. Most arguments against #XMPP don’t hold if you’re building from scratch anyway:

• #Conversations_im looks very outdated: OK, but you are developing your own clients anyway.

• XMPP doesn’t have an SDK: Neither does your #ActivityPub or email stack

• OMEMO is insecure and I would prefer #MLS: Yes, let’s work on that together and you’ll still benefit from XMPP’s 100+ solved IM problems.

So now I can boot straight into a barebones GNU Guix system on my StarFive VisionFIve 2 RISC-V board from a MicroSD card. I had to patch "gnu/bootloader/u-boot.scm" in Guix to make this work:

No success with eMMC yet; it would be nice to create an image that works with eMMC as well.

I find it disillusioning to see the casual use of "AI" slowly creeping into our hacker circles. Most of the discussions about AI focus on the quality of its output. I think we're not doing a good job communicating its more fundamental dangers.

In this blog post I write about how tools shape who we are and why the resource intensiveness of AI is ingrained in its purpose. About the devaluation of skills, and power cycles.

Let me know what you think.

"Hyperscale data centers are a social and ecological disaster and communities across the country are now organizing to stop their construction and operation. The costs are too high even if the large language models they are designed to support were socially beneficial. But that is not the case. These models are unreliable, socially dangerous, generally undermine rather than enhance worker capacities, rely on exploited labor for their training and operation, and are a technological dead-end. Moreover, as the New York Times reports, research by McKinsey & Company finds that “nearly eight in 10 companies have reported using generative AI, but just as many have reported ‘no significant bottom-line impact.’”

We need all-hands-on-deck to stop the high-tech assault on our lives and that includes publicizing the costs of these hyperscale data centers and supporting the community resistance movement."

Si Amazon no da trabajo en sus Centros de Datos, y despide en sus almacenes y oficinas.... ¿Qué hacen nuestros políticos lamiendoles las botas?

P.D. Aunque dieran trabajo, tampoco deberían permitirse estas corporaciones.
