🚨 The EU is about to finalise new rules for general purpose AI like ChatGPT. But instead of reining in leading AI providers such as Microsoft or Meta, Big Tech got privileged access to the development of the rules.

📝 Our latest research with @corporateeurope shows how Big Tech used its privileged access to influence the new rules (the so-called "Code of Practice" in the AI Act). /1

Interview: "Taking Our Power Back”: Immigrants & Workers Plan for May Day Protests

Organizers are planning a massive day of May Day protests against the Trump administration.

"They are attacking everybody at the same time, & that enabled us to gather a really broad coalition.

“We need to fight this corporate takeover. We are the many; they are the few.”

Interview: "Abuse of Power”: Trump Admin’s “Bizarre” Arrest of Milwaukee judge

FBI agents charged Judge Hannah Dugan with "obstructing justice & concealing an individual from arrest."

After learning that ICE agents were waiting to arrest her defendent, Flores-Ruiz, Dugan told the agents they needed a judicial warrant.

She directed Flores-Ruiz to leave her courtroom into a public hallway. ICE then arrested him outside the court.

Interview: Fmr Social Security Chief Warns of “Collapse of the Entire System” Under Trump

"They're trying to wreck Social Security’s reputation, wreck its ability to serve its customers, wreck its unbeaten string of regular monthly payments...

"so that, having wrecked it, then they have an emergency under which they can rob it.”

Analysis: "What’s Preventing a United Front against the Trump Regime?"

"The magnitude of the damage underway is virtually impossible for any individual to fully grasp."

"The federal government is now in the clutches of massively cruel & antidemocratic forces that have no intention of letting go."

However, Dems' "undue deference to party leaders" is hampering "real leverage against MAGA madness."

It just should not take until nearly midday for MS Word to launch and we should be able to make a single phone call on a ‘landline’ without once saying ‘can you say that again you’re breaking up’. I want the high technology of the 1990s back
in reply to Liam

You know what, sure, my PC is a piece of shit, that’s true, no getting around it. It’s also some orders of magnitude more powerful and reliable than the ones I used two decades ago. So what the fuck. Why does it always lag a beat between pressing a key and that letter appearing in my Word document
in reply to Liam

I would knock you all down and walk over you for the chance to just do my work with a copper landline phone and an Apple LCIII. With the pizza box case and a portrait oriented CRT. Thank you.

happiness is the side effect of memberberies overdose.

The whole second half is all memeberberries. Painstakingly recreated envs and imagery of the first movie with barely 1% of new stuff. It doesn’t instill confidence that we’ll get much of anything original here. And if we don’t why not rewatch the original instead?

Main take-away for me (!) on switching to /e/OS*:
- when you do not use features which require a YubiKey, all should be relatively easy
- except for... contacts (when you have been using G. Contacts for 20 years) Long story short: DAVx5 fixed connection issues.
- I thought I fixed it by using Firefox, but apparently Github uses a different implementation of Yubi than Google, so the first one works, the latter no.
- I really do use a lot of Google services
