With all the news from #mozilla about Firefox’s future as possibly an AI browser, the sad situation is that there are essentially no alternatives. What options do I have as a user? Move to Vivaldi and take part in their losing battle over Manifest V3 with Google? Start using some Firefox fork […]

Nez, vai Rīgā ir kāda sabiedriska ēka, kurā es varētu redzēt bērza dēļu grīdu? Kā izskatās priede, bet kā bērza dēļi, ne. Plānoju remontu. 💪🏻

Jums noteikti jāzina, ka Steam ir muminu spēle. Kā Susuriņš glāb Muminieleju no pārparkošanas, raujot ārā aizlieguma zīmes, un palīdzi maziem nelaimīgiem radījumiem atrast vārdu vai draugus (vai Mumintēta gadījumā - pazudušo manuskriptu). Sigur Ros mūzika, pārpasaulīgi skaista animācija un vieglums.

Skatos Jaunmarkas atklāšanu Mākslas akadēmijā apmeklējuši visādi slideni tipiņi. Piemēram Armands Broks, Guntis Rāvis un Jānis Zuzāns. Laikam izmanto to, ka sīči nezin' to, kas šie ir.

Today my youngest son also started to visit a barber at a grown-ups' barbershop. So for now, he, his oldest brother and I go to the same place, to the same barber, and sit in the same chair

Checking my #meshtastic solar nodes that has'nt gotten any sunshine for the past three weeks. My custom built one, with a 4000mAh battery is probably going offline any day now, with 23% battery left. The Seeed Studio Solar Node, with a muuch larger battery bank (nearly 10000mAh) is reporting […]

Federation isn’t just a feature, it’s how we reject oppression by design. In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, we’re building something different: a space where no one buys influence and there […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Liepājas domniekiem bail no peldlīdzekļiem vai vienradžiem? Jau pirms gada konkursā uzvarēja, bet tagad pēkšņi vietējiem politiķiem nepatīk.

The most San Francisco headline ever.

Nez, man tas Saules aptiekas tiktoka video nešķiet smieklīgs. Viņi izmanto integrāciju ar eVeselību, sanāk, ka paši nezina, kā sauc softu, kas šiem regulāri ir nokritis. Īsāk sakot man tas bijušā veselības ministra Belēviča (ZZS) kantoris nekad nav paticis.

Reasonably convincing argument here from a psychologist. He says the aim of the social media ban is not to necessarily stop everyone under 16 using social media, but to remove the environment in which kids feel obliged to use it. Interesting angle. #socialmedia #australia […]

Pāvilostas aktīvisti raudāja, kad plānoja likt vēja ģeneratorus. Lūdza, lai dabas aiztāvji viņus aizstāv, tagad raud, jo tiek plānotas dabas aizsardzības teritorijas, kas veidotas, lai pasargātu ūdensputnus. Riktīgi nimbīši

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU. You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

Mainstream press reporting about the nazi-saluter attacking the EU is completely missing the point. Here's a more accurate summary of what happened: Large tech company fined 120 million € for breaking the law, company owner goes on a deranged internet rant because he thought the law didn't […]

Even before "AI", there was a retreat into the more private digital spaces, like closed instant messaging groups etc to avoid spam/bots/surveillance etc. But the drastically increased rate at which our public online commons are being polluted, thanks to "AI" slop will just accelerate this […]

Tad, kad biju sīcis un skatījos ZTV, tur ik pa laikam uzlika Kailiju, Ievai Tūnai dažreiz nokomentējot, ka Kailija ir bez maz večiņa (manā galvā tad tas bija gandrīz kā kaut kas ap Raimonda Paula vecumu). Nu re, tagad paskatījos, ka "Spinning Around" iznāca brīdī, kad Kailija bija 32. Pa lielam […]

Oho, Bluesky esmu jau gadu, bet ir sajūta, ka būtu pagājusi mūžība. Vēl izlasīju, ka Threads sauc par Instagrama pīpētavu.

We know now that martial law was lifted in about six hours, but that night, none of us knew what we were in for. South Korea remains deeply divided, and politicians continue to politicize the incident for their own gain. But it’s the power of the people that will stay with me for a long time.

Today marks one year since the Dec. 3, 2024 martial law declaration that rocked South Korea and still reverberates today. What’s on my mind today is the grit of South Koreans who rushed to the National Assembly that night, in freezing weather, to demand a return to democratic government.

Math eint mathing with #LLM $IBM CEO says that at today’s costs it takes about $80B to build a 1 GW AI data center, so the ~100 GW of announced capacity implies roughly $8T of capex & “no way you’re going to get a return on that,” since you’d need “about $800B of profit just to pay for the interest”

Man nepatīk tie amerikāņu datumi. "Secret expires 12/2/2026" - un sēdi kā duraks un mēģini izrēķināt, februāris vai decembris!

Par bēgšanu no PSRS, dzīvi tur, par cietsirdīgo tēvu un ģimenes drāmu, par Hruščovu, viņa noņemšanu un "konservatīvo" uzvaru Kremlī - BBC publicējis arhīva vērtību, sarunu ar Staļina meitu pēc viņas aizbēgšanas uz ASV. Ir ko padomāt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhUQ...

We’re still an absolute skeleton crew of 14 people, competing with teams sometimes 100x as large as ours. To get to our humble team size was only possible through the less than 1% community members who donate to Mastodon, a handful larger donations, & EU grants, all of which we are forever […]
