It's not the war in Iran that's costing the EU €500M a day, it's the politicians who decided against pushing for renewables and relying on gas and oil imports. And von der Leyen is among them. It's their fault for backing the fossil fuel industry, their fault for relying on regimes and war criminals, their fault and no one else's.

@nprofile1q... accettate anche candidature dall'estero? Vi presento la Sint-Josephkerk di Amsterdam. Una via di mezzo tra una batteria della contraerea nazista e il sarcofago del reattore n. 4 di Černobyl'. È talmente brutta che è stata sconsacrata nel 1990 ed ora ospita un simpatico seppur brutalista parco giochi al chiuso.

So many odd things happening just days before large tech companies Q1 earnings reports: Copilot moving to usage-based billing, Anthropic getting investments from its service providers, Microsoft and OpenAI altering their revenue share deal. It's almost like things are starting to unravel, isn't it?

Today Italy celebrates Liberation Day, the moment the country was freed from the fascist regime and the nazi occupation.

The effect of AI summaries is visible even on my little blog. You can see the number of impressions steadily going up over the last two years, and the number of people visiting the pages steadily going down. The most viewed article is my tutorial on how to monitor ECC memory on Linux and the Google AI summary of it is - as usual - mostly right. But it omits two important bits that aren't described anywhere else, so those not reading it will be left with a half-working setup.

I am surprised and delighted of how much traction #Gentoo has been gaining lately. If you want to try it out and get stuck I'll be happy to help. Setup can be hard but maintenance is a breeze, it's worth the effort as it pays itself several times over

You should ask yourself, why are the vibe bros obsessed with coding now? Weren't they busy trying to put artists out of work? Writers? Translators? Well, it turns out that in practically every other sector gen AI has basically become a liability. You use it hoping to save time and money, it turns into a PR disaster, you get to redo the work again, you saved nothing, you won't try again. So that's why. They're running out of options to peddle their snake oil.

Surprising no-one providing not only legal access but also legal production of drugs makes crime go away.
