Today you can get a domain name for ~$10 and host your own website from your computer that has signed certificates, dynamic dns, and run just about any kind of service. Media server, blog, federated social network, game server, etc. It has never been easier to make your own space on the internet.

Premium: The Hater's Guide To Blackstone, the world's largest asset manager that grew through exploiting financial crises and rental markets. With $200bn in AI data centers and investments, it may be the first time Blackstone is left holding the bag. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

Get your AI slop out of here.

If you’ve run models that can actually function on consumer grade hardware then you know how full of shit Dario is here. Without data centers, general use models are about as useful as a toddler with internet access. Only highly focused models are useful on consumer hardware and it’s barely useful.

Surely slopping out the games will make people like Epic Games more! Tim Sweeney is a daft fucking man.

So far the only retort from the AI boosters appears to be “2025 doesn’t matter” and I’m not kidding

"why would I deceive you?"

Every single person with knowledge of this crime who did nothing to stop it or report it belongs in prison.

Hey @governor.ca.gov You know what will hurt jobs in Hollywood? Allowing further consolidation amongst the media oligarchs. The first thing that follows two giant corporations merging is layoffs. Every time. In every industry. The best thing for your constituents is to stop the Ellison oligarchs.

Guess I’ll just keep pirating everything that I want to watch from the media oligarchs. It’s never been easier.

Two ideas from this article resonate 1. The “rogue AI agent” hacking incidents are more failures of test design and oversight than examples of runaway AI. 2. Focus on existential risk helps distract from concrete harms happening now from government misuse to companies using AI against workers.

Read this article and you should rapidly concude that $10m is not NEARLY enough. She was taken at gunpoint, jailed for six months, and lost all her belongings. The PD relied solely on AI facial recognition from *a fake fscking ID* used by the real perpetrator. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s not radical to believe you should be able to afford groceries, see a doctor, breathe clean air, and drink clean water. There’s nothing more American than fighting for a government of, by, and for the people.

Is this supposed to make anyone feel better? If you want to make a meaningful change you’ll take down every single camera you put up and liquidate your dogshit company.

Dear city, county, and state officials, Nobody wants this corporate spyware bullshit thats profits from the violation of our rights. Its not about flock specifically, but every company that does anything like them. Including literally the entirety of the data broker industry.

Damn, somebody or their bot decided to REALLY hammer my homelab last night. I average about 200-300 IDS/IPS events over 24 hours usually. These last 24 hours were almost 800 events! If my #homelab is going to get hammered Im glad its showing up on this list and not by way of compromised machines 😅

I truly just hope that scalpers lose everything. Not just the people who are ruining card games, but every scalper in every industry. I wish there was a way to get the entire community to just stop feeding these damn scalpers.

@flocksafety.bsky.social CEO Garrett Langley is a liar who is telling you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. These ALPR systems are corporate spyware used to allow local, state, and federal governments to violate your rights for profit.

If you have a Shark robot vacuum you should know it’s possible for basically anyone to gain full remote access to it. That means visual and possibly audio capture is possible. The researcher disclosed this to Shark months ago and received basically no response. tokay0.com/posts/millio...

I for one, am shocked that mecha hitler would just steal all your code without permission. I was told they definitely respect consent…just don’t pay attention to their history of nonconsensual pornographic photos generated by the platform.

So you're telling me there's a chance... If you want to watch the episode this clip is from, you can check it out here: youtu.be/zc2WcqEny-Y

In a just world…the Post Master General David Steiner would have his corrupt ass arrested today…for admitting to his plans to interfere in an election.

Is Rockstar shipping discless “physical” copies of GTA6 because they’re trying something new? Or is it because they know they won’t have a functional game in time to get physical copies on the shelves? Because I’d be willing to bet it’s the latter.

Conservative oligarchs are continuing their monopolization of the media while they’ve got an administration and Congress unwilling to enforce antitrust law.

UFC Freedom 250, sponsored by companies you definitely shouldn’t ever give your money to. With a crowd of pedophiles and pedophile protectors.

A little rant about some asshole design pattern richard.pub/corporate-so...

It’s almost like perhaps letting Microslop buy up a bunch of game studios was a bad idea. Who could have seen that coming?

Lotta people out there thinking N1X is some newfangled chip that's going to change Windows PCs forever. I don't think they realize the same chip's been in DGX Spark for a while (and even that was delayed). Microsoft trying to hype this thing up like it's the next M-series

It turns out using tax dollars to install privately owned mass surveillance systems that nobody asked for is problematic...who knew. 🙄

I strongly support worker rights and offer my voice and platform to help spread the word. The games industry is brutal on employees and and effort to make their lives better and their relationship to work healthier is worthwhile.

Finally some good news.

We need rank choice voting for every race in the country.

Paul Giamatti is world class as a villain. Nus Braka is such a great role. #StarfleetAcademy

I got $10 that says the nutrition app recently added AI

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

F*cking dystopian.

Californians, don’t forget to go vote Yes on prop 50! It’s the only opportunity we will get to balance the scales leading up to the midterms next year.

My favorite thing about a #homelab is that the only reason I notice AWS is having problems is when I’m working or see it on social media.

The most jarring thing added to iOS 26 has to be automix in Apple Music. I hope they let you adjust the parameters; otherwise, it’s just going to get turned off. It’s a neat idea, but right now, it’s bad. It’s playing like 60% of a song and then doing a slow crossfade 1/3rd of the way into the next.
