Related to @npub1fdr…lvhs thread: the largest (by far) not-Bluesky ATproto stack is #BridgyFed. But, because of toxic attitudes on Fedi, Bridgy users are cut off from seeing most Bluesky users, even if those users follow their accounts.

Forced? Depends how eager one is to be targeted by an investigation of a (foreign) government.

In the meantime, University of Helsinki reports that research applications from USA have increased by 50% this year. So far, I might add.

Wait, what? Even including the entire occupied Palestine regions, Israel is just over 1/20th of the area of continental Spain.

I wonder how do the 13000 SpaceX employees, obviously smart people, justify their work for the would-be nazi king to themselves and their families. Are they just bought, or supremacists themselves?

This is the kind of terror Ukraine is fighting against with one hand tied in their back, due to weak and timid support and lack of permission to strike where it counts.

Open social platforms do not have "private" messages and Mastodon shouldn't pretend it does. It does have a whisper reply, no more.

NATO is supposed to be an alliance of democracies. Victor Orban has been holding on to power in Ukraine since their joining the alliance 25 years ago.
There should be an automatic clause that says if a member loses or ignores their democratic system, their membership is revoked.

I lost a bit of convenience and haz to look for a couple of specialist sources, made slightly annoying as many don't ship to Finland. I also now buy less crap I didn't really need in the first place. What I do buy is more consistently good. No #Amazon crap.

Requiring a platform to curb incitement to violence and other criminal activities is not censorship. It is upholding a legal system.

You know, for this much electricity production volatility, I'd expect more price volatility, too. And sure, before the nuclear reactors returned online, there were a few kind-of-costly days at peak 180€/MWh (18 c/kWh) - but the average price has been just 3.15 c/KWh for the past four weeks.
The green section is wind, if you can't tell, fluctuating between 0 MW to approx 4 GW

Olisi virhe yhdistää kuluttajatason ChatGPT-hype tech-yritysten datakeskus-investointien aluksi. Sekä isot pilvitarjoajat (AWS, Azure ja Google Cloud) että joukko omiin tarkoituksiinsa koneoppimisratkaisuja kehittäneitä yrityksiä (Meta, Apple, OpenAI jne) ovat kasvattaneet kapasiteettiaan jo vuosia ennen ChatGPT:tä. Eikö tämä nyt ole ihan ilmiselvää? ChatGPT tarvitsi GPT-3:n, jota ennen oli GPT-2 ja GPT-1, sekä vastaavat mallit muissa yhtiöissä.
