Unsurprisingly, the reaction to Trump’s conviction from Republicans donors, commentators, and electeds further confirms that the U.S. is in a cold civil war.

Quelle surprise. But what's worrying is how apparently 'tech 'n meeja' savvy young people are so easily taken in by propaganda - err, I mean 'hype and marketing'.

"...Very few people are regularly using "much hyped" artificial intelligence (AI) products like ChatGPT, a survey suggests...

"...But the study... says young people are bucking the trend, with 18 to 24-year-olds the most eager adopters of the tech..."

@Lazarou Doesn't bode well for Starmer's acumen. He looks inconsistent, craven and lily-livered. He might be a shoe-in for this year, but I doubt he's got longevity. Right now, his only USP is that he's not a Tory.

It's bad enough that stiffs you more than 10% for cash transfers (a particular bugbear for us writers), but they're now also going to enshittify the whole process, selling our personal data to boot.

Which raises the question - why isn't there a #`FOSS equivalent of PayPal? Is it possible?

The deed is done. Debian is installed. Windows is gone for good.

30 years of Microsoft OS experience down the drain, because they can't not be capitalist dicks.

What a waste. 🙁

Here is a threat/risk of armed mutiny against Israeli MoD #Gallant should Hamas or PA be in charge of Gaza.

Gallant is between the ICC's potential warrant and the Netanyahus' to-the-bitter-endists. Remarkable that the video is shared by #Netanyahu junior. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-05-25/ty-article/.premium/pm-netanyahus-son-shares-clip-of-apparent-idf-reservist-threatening-military-coup-in-gaza/0000018f-af39-d24f-a5df-ffffd6180000?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
