WWF has THREE POINT FOUR MILLION followers on X. Their most recent post got 30 interactions. Someone explain to me why major env orgs are still contributing volunteer content to Elon Musk's racist project? It's not for 'the engagement' anymore. So what is it?

Last weekend I wrote Proton to say that I don't like them sponsoring a fascist, racist YouTuber. I wrote that I expected them to denounce that ideology. I just wanted to hear from them, that I can feel okay paying them as a customer. Shouldn't be too hard to denounce some racist jackass, right?

There is a weird trend in the climate and energy advocacy space where someone just becomes a volunteer big tech / data centre defender, and I personally think like 95% of these cases are down to them having become immediately fully reliant on Claude or whatever, and they don't want to give it up

For this one, I went far outside my comfort zone and the topic may be the most important I ever wrote about, so I'm posting this link again: www.kooslooijesteijn.net/blog/how-muc... Please click it, thank you.

The last 10 years in a nutshell: Nazi: I’m a Nazi! Media: Outspoken Man Touts Unconventional Ideas Nazi: No, I’m just a Nazi. Media: Meet the Dapper White Nationalist Who— Nazi: No, seriously! I’m quoting Mein Kampf! I love Hitler! Media: Why Both Sides Have an Extremist Problem.

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world 😍 airesistlist.org

I only found conflicting reports and outdated numbers on the #CO2 emissions of LLMs. So I've made some estimations myself. www.kooslooijesteijn.net/blog/how-muc...

I've been very happy and relieved for over a week already, because at work we've swapped #Jekyll out with #Astro and did a complete rewrite of the #CSS. At 2,5 years, it's the longest-running project I've ever worked on professionally 😮‍💨

"Musk pledged two years ago to build a state-of-the-art water recycling plant in Memphis to guarantee that his xAI servers wouldn’t deplete the city’s groundwater" "Now that Musk’s first data center is up and running, construction on the recycling facility has come to an abrupt halt"

Selling from California to New York is not the same as selling from France to Germany, or from the UK into the EU after Brexit. Different languages. Different tax systems. Different employment laws. Different commercial norms.

It's today, today!

The fossil fuel industry promoting more fossil fuels while the Strait of Hormuz is closed:

Hungary has shown what I've felt for a while now: it's not about right vs left wing. It's a bit of fascism vs democracy. But it's mainly organized crime vs rule of law.

I admire the decision to call it a "pied-à-terre tax," because no one who's not rich thinks they own a pied-à-terre so won't feel personally threatened by a tax on them.

we don't talk enough about how cool the color-interpolation-method is in CSS gradients all of these slices have the same gradient: linear-gradient(#00ffff 0%, #ff00ff 100%) each one is just using a different colour interpolation

@laurensvhg.eurosky.social Anthropic benadrukt dat het lek niet te wijten valt aan AI, maar het gevolg is van een menselijke fout.” Wat een PR weer. Alles wat met techniek verkeerd gaat is een menselijke fout! Maar ze willen dat wij denken dat het oké is om fouten van een LLM door te laten.

Me, traveling: an obvious tourist who takes photos of all the things and people Me, doing street photography in my hometown: ooh I hope I'm sufficiently invisible while I quickly make this shot while pretending to look the other way My hometown is Berlin, there are tourists everywhere.

This is my favorite stakeholder management technique. After I’ve presented my “as you attorney I’d advise you not to do this” and they decide against my advice I say, “ ok, so *you* are deciding to do this and I will support *your* decision.

One reason I've never done much #video is that storage is way too expensive for the huge files involved. I never bothered to look into video compression too much, but it turns out, if I just organize and compress my files well, storage shouldn't be an issue: www.kooslooijesteijn.net/blog/make-vi...

Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component. As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...

Near the end of my big web project, I'm doing final tests in different browsers and everything looks surprisingly consistent this time! Not surprisingly, the nastiest problem I found was in iOS Safari and of course it was an overflow problem ...
