KDE gets over €1 million in funding from the Sovereign Tech Fund #KDE #OpenSource #Linux

No, this is what a CD player looked like

No. How do you feel autonomically when you perform intentional kindness? How do you feel autonomically when you perform intentional cruelty? That is the truth. You don’t need to teach it. Your body tells you. Even satisfaction from cruelty is fleeting. Empty. The other is permanent. Fulfilling.

Yeah, i used to really love Conspiracy Against the Human Race as well. My advice is to get on SSRIs and engage in a social hobby.

I feel like you are trying to extrapolate your individual, unrepresentative experience to the entirety of the humanity. That's the kindest interpretation. I hope you end up in a better place emotionally.

Donaldson has has fabricated a whole alternate history of the project and Copperhead including leaving out the fact that it had 3 co-founders rather than 2. Donaldson lived off income brought in by Daniel's open source project created prior to the company. He certainly didn't fund it as he claims.

WIRED (@wired.com) has gone ahead with publishing an extraordinarily inaccurate article about GrapheneOS. It presents a highly inaccurate history of the GrapheneOS project heavily based on fabrications from James Donaldson. WIRED failed to incorporate most of our responses to his inaccurate claims.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

A federal judge in Illinois today ruled that the Trump administration improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kash Patel advisor Erica Knight says a “lawsuit is being filed” over The Atlantic’s article alleging that the FBI director’s drinking has been “a recurring source of concern across the government.” Patel retweeted the post.

Or into Lake Michigan, literally.

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

LYING LEAVITT: "Lebanon is NOT part of the ceasefire agreement". FACT: Literally the PM of Pakistan, who mediated the ceasefire, tweeted out that it WAS included. He's literally the one who witnessed the deal. #cdnpoli

Supreme Court rules 7-2 that Charles Manson’s sentence reversed for what they termed “just talking”

Rad.

I hate the framing of “Ms Rachel has found a new cause—“ because no she hasn’t. Advocating for children kidnapped and locked up by ICE is not incompatible with her advocacy of children in Palestine. You just want to make her advocacy sound frivolous and fleeting. She’s being consistent.

Two likely possibilities: 1) Trump has quietly held talks with Iran with no word getting out until his social media post, despite the usual intermediaries (UK, France, Oman, Qatar) having no luck 2) Trump woke up and saw oil futures jumping through and decided to post

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

If even half of this is descriptively accurate ...

The bedrock belief of the supremacist spirit is that life must be earned, and those who fail to earn it deserve to suffer and die.

ICE’s *mandate* is to menace, harass, and kidnap (kidnap for fuck’s sake!) any person they deem suspect for whatever reason is in their heads (usually “I want to menace, harass, and kidnap people”). Their placement in airports is a massive terrorist escalation.

The Constitution protects the acts of naming federal law enforcement agents and documenting how they behave on the streets. Under no circumstances should Congress grant this administration new legal weapons to use against Americans who do either of those things.

This happened in under 10 hours

AOC: I think we know without a doubt that this is a war of choice—that Donald Trump has initiated all of these hostilities, killing American service members and innocent Iranians alike, and for no reason. He has a different reason every day.

Kat Abughazaleh used her campaign to try a lot of things that the party should been embracing a long time ago. The entire left coalition is better off because she ran.

A first-time candidate who came onto the scene as a young TikTok’er getting over 25% in a crowded primary against other elected officials seems like an objectively strong electoral performance, whatever your thoughts on the candidate might be. She did something right with voters:

"This does not mean that this last year has been for nothing," @katmabu.bsky.social speaks to the crowd for the first time in Andersonville tonight, conceding her race for Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress to Evanston mayor Daniel Biss.

kat's one year of campaigning has arguably moved democratic politics forward more than the average elected democrat has while in congress

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

BREAKING: Workers at CBS are walking out. The unionized team that works CBS' streaming service are going on a 24 hour strike in New York and San Francisco. The walkout comes after negotiations with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly imploded.

NYT now joining AIPAC in boosting Amiwala, who has never polled above single digits. These entities did not finally see the light on the genocide. They think Amiwala is the best way to stop Biss or Abughazaleh.

This is the thing with demanding people assess LLMs "reasonably" and admit they can be "useful": The people pushing these technologies are at war with us, and they see LLMs as their primary weapon in the battle to destroy us. Even if you think anti-LLM is irrational, please assess the larger danger

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Look at what Trump's team is doing. That is so illegal, open and shut case. We used to execute people for that. ... Well, I'm off, good night!

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I know AI isn't conscious because it can listen to an entire meeting on a Friday afternoon without zoning out and thinking about the weekend even once.

you fucking bitch, it wasn’t an error. HOW DARE YOU LAUNDER THEIR WAR CRIMES FOR THEM

... out of a cannon

Women are not okay. We’re furious.

Here’s Aaron Rupar denying the genocide in Gaza. Liberal fascists like him only care about innocent children getting slaughtered when it aligns with their prescribed DNC-approved talking points.

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites. Yes. A MILLION. This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything: www.scientificamerican.com/article/ramp... 🔭 🧪

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

Hello internet friends! I am working on a feature about the people making whistles and popup leftist supply depots and looking for people to talk to; sometimes casting a wide net yields people I haven't found yet! I am in touch with Bree and Courtney, but if YOU are a whistle logistician...
