It’s fun to read goofy guides written for time travellers visiting the past that describe how to reinvent things like penicillin and powered flight while also watching the struggles of a man in the outback trying to reinvent technology from scratch but stalling out at mud bricks.

I genuinely cannot believe a BED stops working because of an amazon outage. the jokes are literally writing themselves.
Matteo Franceschetti@m_franceschetti
The AWS outage has impacted some of our users since last night, disrupting their sleep. That is not the experience we want to provide and I want to apologize for it. We are taking two main actions: 1) We are restoring all the features as AWS comes back. All devices are currently working, with some experiencing data processing delays. 2) We are currently outage-proofing your Pod experience and we will be working tonight-24/7 until that is done. More updates soon.

Imagine a company where instead of making a few people extremely wealthy, you make yourself and all your employees *very* wealthy.
Communal capitalism.
We win together.

it is almost certainly somewhere in Romania, and very probably somewhere in or around Bucharest, but who tf knows at this point

@georainbolt has the chance to do something really funny
these pictures have just become a major talk point in the ongoing Romanian elections, but it has not yet been revealed where they were taken
they might have been doctored with an extra person, but the building is real

I just fixed a very specific issue I got after a Manjaro update by reading posts on 3 separate forums, all posted in the last few days, all found with google
I also fixed my bike by posting on reddit
I'm curious exactly what kind of knowledge is gatekept on discord
Joe@JoePostingg
The amount of aggregated knowledge that's become unsearchable because of discord is terrible, and there's legitimately no solution.

I injected the horse tranquilizer Ketamine and tracked my brain data for 15 days. It completely scrambled my brain. In a world-first we answered the question ‘what happens to the brain before, during, and after ketamine treatment?’ We also discovered how long it took for my brain to return to ‘normal’. The results surprised me. 🧵

If someone wants to beat Nvidia, the ONLY thing you need to do is make GPUs with 128, 256, 512, 1024 GB of VRAM. Doesn't need to be faster. Doesn't even need great tooling. We need more VRAM. Nvidia doesn't seem to get this, and the first company that does will dethrone them.

everybody's reading this as being about the embryos, but "at conception" could very well mean the physical act of having unprotected sex
it's about the parents and what cells THEY contribute, you basically get your gender only if you conceive a child, until then it's undefined
Matthew Chapman@fawfulfan
Under Trump's executive order, every single person in America is now legally classified as female. All embryos begin by developing female sex organs, with male sex organs only replacing them at around 6 weeks of gestation.

@yanisvaroufakis yes, the elections were cancelled on basically no proof, but this was clear to anyone living here from the start
right wing journos (i.e. almost everyone) are now shifting focus from the visibly growing fascist sentiment to old party corruption stories
English
@yanisvaroufakis they didn't have any control over it and the influence of TikTok was wildly exaggerated. there are bigger local factors and structures at play
all in all, that candidate is a lunatic fascist who explicitly said he wanted to turn the whole country into a sort of Amish community
English
It was bad enough that they cancelled an election because they didn't like the result on the excuse that somebody had lied on TikTok. Now it turns out it was worse than that: they had paid for the particular TikTok post themselves!
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand
This is an absolutely bombshell: the story about the cancelled elections in Romania is even far more sinister than previously thought. A new report from investigative outlet snoop.ro (snoop.ro/anaf-a-descope…) reveals that the TikTok campaign which was cited in the declassified Romanian intelligence documents (summarized in my post below 👇) as evidence of foreign interference - and used as grounds to cancel the presidential election - was actually paid for by the ruling National Liberal Party (PNL), the very party that supported cancelling the elections! According to the investigation, the campaign called "#EchilibrușiVerticalitate" that the intelligence services claimed was "identical to Russian operations in Ukraine" was organized by a marketing firm called Kensington Communication, hired by PNL (the ruling party), who paid Kensington over 1 million RON for it (about $210,000). Kensington then used a platform called FameUp to coordinate 130 influencers with specific scripts and messaging guidelines. This puts the declassified intelligence documents in an entirely new light. What they presented as evidence of foreign interference was actually a campaign paid for by the ruling party. The same party that then supported using these allegations of "foreign interference" to cancel an election they were losing. Even more bizarrely, confronted by journalists, Kensington Communication initially denied using the hashtag but later admitted to creating the campaign for PNL, claiming it was meant to be called "#echilibrusiseriozitate" and was changed to "#echilibrusiverticalitate" without their knowledge. Yeah, right... This means that either the Romanian intelligence services didn't know this was a PNL-funded campaign when they used it as evidence to cancel the election (which raises huge questions about their competence), or they did know and didn't disclose it (which raises even bigger questions about their integrity). In any case, it seems to indicate that something extremely sinister happened in Romania: a ruling party used intelligence services to cancel an election based on "foreign interference" evidence that they themselves paid for!
