@swapnakpanda The announcement failed to lift its stock price. Hurry AI vibe coding!

Meta is going to fire 8,000 employees tomorrow at 4AM. > They have asked all their employees to WFH tomorrow. > 8,000 unlucky employees will receive the Good Bye email at 4AM in the morning. > Workers laid off in the US will get 16 weeks of base pay as severance, plus 2 extra weeks for every year spent at Meta. > Apart from them, 7,000 more employees who keep their jobs will be shifted into 4 new AI-focused organisations. > After this, Meta have a plan to fire more employees in August and another round towards the end of 2026. All total Meta may reduce its head count by 10,000 to 15,000 in this year only. What do you think? Where is Meta doing wrong?

ATC staff gone on strike!

Jingdezhen shows what happens when a civilization takes one craft seriously for centuries. For more than 1,700 years, this city shaped porcelain so fine that it crossed courts, oceans, dining rooms, and trade routes. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, its kilns served imperial taste and exported huge amounts of porcelain to Europe. A cup was never just a cup. It carried China’s technical skill and visual taste across the world.

@CryptoCyberia True. But the open distro would beat Linux. Not Microsoft.

Microsoft could undoubtedly absolute BTFO Linux if they just open sourced Windows 7 and let the open source community fix it up for modern use. I honestly believe this, and it would be the distro I run 100%. Search your heart. You know it to be true. Microsoft should just do it

Writing about Project Panama tonight. It is heartbreaking. AI training pipeline that is turned psychotic in to a massive million dollar book burning. It is a crime against humanity. Train AI but don’t you dare burn books and expect us not to care.

China’s population is 1.4B people, America has 320m people. China has been under a surveillance state for decades- 600M surveillance cameras, they can identify citizens w facial recognition w a 98.5% accuracy and they record every move by their citizens Yet China only has 450 data centers What data is the US gathering that would justify the US to need 5,000 data centers - 15x what China has, with only a quarter of the population?

@spacebull You can't order green lasers from aliexpress. Try it! I did, and got some almost green lasers, too bright, totally disappointed.

DO NOT point a minimum 1000nm wavelength green laser at Flock cameras. It will not damage the sensor and render the camera ineffective. Flock cameras DO NOT contain over a half ounce of easily recyclable silver. The camera, router, solar panel, and battery, WILL NOT fetch over $1000 on the secondary market. Flock is purely for your safety with NO OTHER AGENDA.

@unlimited_ls nah. can't be. no one I know directly is famous or makes millions, yet we pay $100/week for health insurance anytime we travel. come on.

@george1BR2 Problema que El salvador virou uma ditadura qualquer um com tatuagem é preso ,as ligações do povo são todas monitoradas ,se alguém falar mal dele some .

El Salvador. Essa é a situação dos antigos membros do PODER JUDICIÁRIO. Todos PRESOS. Essas figuras desprezíveis, eram da SUPREMA CORTE de El Salvador. Com a ascenção de Naiyb Bukele ao poder, todas as facções criminosas caíram e junto com elas, estes indivíduos CORRUPTOS que usavam o PODER que lhes foi conferido pelo Estado, para livrar os criminosos mediante o pagamento de PROPINAS.

@HurricaneAddict Wait. This is underwater and doesn't show on NOAA's SST anomaly data??

Lurking below the surface in the equatorial Pacific is possibly the most impressive blob of above average ocean temperatures we've ever recorded since we've had the ability to measure this stuff. When that enormous concentration of bath water reaches the surface over the coming weeks and months, it's going to release devastating consequences around the globe throughout the second half of the year. Get ready for severe droughts in parts of South America, Africa, and Australia, devastating monsoons in southern China, and a roaring southern jet all winter long in North America. When you combine this with the fertilizer crisis bubbling as a byproduct of current global events, there's going to be crop failure on a level most of us have never seen during the closing months of 2026. Hard to see how we avoid widespread deadly famines across multiple stretches of the planet at this point.

Claude is asked how it feels being used by the U.S. military.

@MarioNawfal Oh but let's all cancel flights to the whole country like they did to Vallarta!

🇺🇸 Austin, Texas is under a shelter-in-place after 10 shootings in under 24 hours. The suspects are teenagers, and the victims were random people. 10 shootings in one city, one day, by the same group of teens points to something coordinated.

@lexx_aura So you made this to argue? And just to compare it to Marvel? Let's see the box office numbers and fan base of this.

Still waiting for the anti AI crowd to explain how this doesn't have more heart and cinematic vision than a $200M Marvel movie Seedance 2.0

The Italian authorities have announced that yesterday’s car-ramming attack in Modena by Salim El Koudri was not a case of terrorism but due to “mental health issues” 🇮🇹🇲🇦

NEW: 50 empty Waymos invade Atlanta neighborhoods and circle their cul-de-sacs for hours early in the mornings. Residents say they are getting waymo traffic than usual and have tried combating the cars with a neon green sign, which only made the problem worse. The Waymos didn't know what to do and clogged the entire street. "We have small animals and pets, got kids getting on the bus in the morning, and it just doesn’t feel safe to have that traffic," one resident said. The residents say Waymo has not given them a response yet.
