@leroy@indiehackers.social @Bfordham@infosec.exchange Estimates put his networth at 300-400 million. Absolute "fuck you" money. The fact that he refused to use it here tells you everything you need to know.

@lorimolson "Were-house" to the others suffering with pattern recognition issues this early morn.

@jackie@social.linux.pizza @ZaneSelvans@social.coop that's Pakistan actually, due to the Ukraine war price shocks: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/4/7/how-pakistans-solar-boom-is-shielding-it-from-worst-of-iran-war-crisis >The solar share in the country’s energy mix has increased from 2.9 percent in 2020 to a whopping 32.3 percent in 2025, according to EMBER, an independent think tank. They are importing something lie 10% of all chinas solar exports, and its almost all individual installs, not industrial scale. Before this, their grid was 90% fossil fuel driven, and massively unreliable. Pakistan has around 250 million people in it, so this is an amazing shift.

@fracicone@mastodon.uno @david@fouroclockfarms.club that article references Donald Trump and a fake oval office, not Fred Trump, Donalds Trumps father that had dementia. The latter is what the OP is referring to. Secondly, posting an AI generated prompt like "Factually" to refute a story is basically nothing, even if it was actually relevant to the topic at hand. LLM are full of mistakes they repeat confidently, so they are inherently not trustworthy as a source in any argument.

@renardboy @Legit_Spaghetti @cmconseils add sponsorblock as well. It uses community notes to auto skip the YouTuber ad reads and promos. Its amazing how well it works. Right after any big youtuber releases a video, it skips over them. Even smaller youtubers will ad skip within a few minutes of release, and if not, the plugin let's you easy annotate the start - stop to help others.

@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social @Flowermob@mastodon.social I'll take mine raw please. They dont deserve the grace of aromatics.

@ricci@discuss.systems holy fuck is it wild who it surfaces. I had a VP at an old job I maybe sent 3 emails to because the guy was one of those "never write it down so there is no evidence types." No texts, nothing. Barely ever sent him a message on teams because he literally did not reply. Somehow, android share menu things hes my primary fucking contact at all times. My partner that I talk to over a half dozen mechanisms all fucking day, literally daily? Nah, 4th down the list, if I'm lucky. Somehow I gotta stare down that nozzles shit eating grin every time I hit share, with literally no way to order/edit/change any option without flat out uninstalling an app. Absolute chumps.

@lina@ohai.social they can also claim they named named them after the teenage mutant ninja turtles. Two-fer.

@kelidanovus They are working on V2H (vehicle to home) specs so your car can just be your house battery directly. They also call this "bidirectional charging." https://www.energysage.com/ev-charging/bidirectional-ev-charging/ Some cars like the kia ev9/f150 electric support this now, but its a compelling selling point that just adds on to the heap of why electric cars are better than petrol ones.

@fmn@mastodon.social @Mastodon@mastodon.social @johnonolan@mastodon.xyz Ghost is one of the newsletter/blogging vendors like Substack that helps journalists run a patreon style buisness that keeps them independent. It is a valuable thing to have, especially as so many venerable names in mainstream media bend the knee to facism. The difference between ghost and substack is that you can fully self host, pay much less for hosting if you dont want to, join the fediverse and of course biggest of all, do it without nazis.

@dilmandila looks like a Mandarin honeysuckle, although the leaves don't. A lovely flower either way.

@xinit @rysiek @revengeday his comment is a year old, when bluesky's nefarious pivot was signposted, but less clear.

@uep @frameworkcomputer @phoronix Gmktec has them for comparable prices. Seems to be a darling brand for a lot of tech youtubers, no signs of support for transphobes or facism: https://www.gmktec.com/products/amd-ryzen%E2%84%A2-ai-max-395-evo-x2-ai-mini-pc

@AzulCrescent@tech.lgbt I love that the binary correctly spells out "what." Nice touch!

@rootfake @coldfish @briankrebs Seriously. Thing probally opened telnet up to the internet and set the gui interface to default passwords. Dude can probally use shodan to check his cameras now.

@vonKordke@mastodon.com.pl @bascule@mas.to the above reads like bad faith trolling, but I'll engage for others who may be curious about why your rage bait is misguided. Lithium is far from the only battery chemistry in use, especially for grid based batteries. We also have an abundance of it right now, since 2022. Only recently is demand starting to meet supply: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/energy-storage-boom-strengthens-demand-outlook-beaten-down-lithium-2026-01-04/ LFP batteries are the most common grid batteries, and they use very little lithium compared to EV batteries. Sodium batteries, battery chemistries that use sodium instead of rare earth metal like lithium, are also now being mass produced. They work wonders for grid storage due to their repsonsiviness, excellent thermal curve and complete lack of thermal runaway, meaning they don't need HVAC like lithium does: https://electrek.co/2026/04/27/catl-sodium-ion-battery-60gwh-energy-storage-deal/ Battery tech is here, now. You can ignore it if you like, but the economics of it make nuclear an antiquated technology.

@JamesK @jvschrag @blogdiva She has a humble bundle going right now that includes it and much more along with her friend Charlie Jane Andrews work: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/charlie-jane-anders-annalee-newitz-tor-books

@disisdeguey @ruari you climb down and do a kind of slow, sideways fall as you get closer to the ground, like a ladder tipping towards you as you get near the ground. Its not dangerous, but not strictly safe.

@Nonilex@masto.ai by "bruises" you mean "internal bleeding," right? Got to make sure we use the correct medical terms or CBS might turn down the story. I bet ICE made sure he he had the same quality medical care for his "internal bleeding" as their murderer did.

@SusiArnott@mastodon.green @MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social if you're not running a mastodon server, you're all set. If you are, best to update your version to one of these, as they fix some issues.

@realhackhistory@chaos.social HACK THE PLANET!

@jwd630 @CalcProgrammer1 @lemizy @Sheril there are $300 "auto switcher" power strips that let you plug a drying into one outlet and the level 2 charger into another and it smartly disables the car charging when you turn your dryer on. With one of these, you can use level 2 charger normally, and dont even need to pull a new electrical circuit. Keeps wear and tear down on the outlet too. https://www.amazon.com/Splitvolt-Amp-Splitter-Switch-Thousands/dp/B0B5FB89LG

@abhayakara @dangillmor If Comcast promoted their service by paying Andrew Tate to list him as a "prominent user" I think it would make sense to try to move off of them, yes. Comcast is a poor analogy though, as its often the single provider for a core service in an area. This is more like if CBS news hired Tate as a show host. Would you still watch CBS, or opt to find your news elsewhere?

@thomastc @Natasha_Jay no, its somehow just how their voice is. Its not loud or soft, or right or wrong, it just is. It is painfully even handed, but also sometimes, just slightly kind.

@feld@friedcheese.us @kevinrothrock@infosec.exchange Israel isn't credible. I'd take any war claim as a likely lie or misdirection.

@utf_7@mastodon.social @amydiehl@mstdn.social "Things change, sometimes for the better. If you want to have a face to face, feel free to have a video chat but otherwise I prefer you message me as I find it more efficient. That goes for when we are in the office too." You can start preventing the impromptu "face to face" conversations when in office by telling them to schedule a meeting, message or call you. That removes the "its easier in person" excuse because it removes their ability to interrupt you whenever they want in the medium they prefer. This will require you to set boundaries and push back, because people who do this a lot will keep doing it until you stop them.

@vonKordke@mastodon.com.pl @bascule@mas.to you absolute can by adding batteries and more high voltage lines to interconnect more grids and minimize the affect of variability at a local level. They build industrial solar where its very bright, and they build wind turbines where its nearly perpetually windy. As long as those sources are connected to more grids, we are fine. For other sources, nuclear can be fine but very slow to build so it should be a backup option and not a primary one. Hydro is a great baseload right now, but more dams is tricky. Geothermal looks better than nuclear, if nascent, and natgas generators can be converted to run on green hydrogen made with solar/wind that would otherwise be load shedding. Mix all of the generation of the above with an equally important change in consumption: heat pumps for HVAC and hot water, induction cooktops, and electric vehicles, and you can satisfy all energy needs with much, much less overall electrical generation than the mass total of electrical/fossil we use now. All it takes is building things that we can build today.

@abhayakara @dangillmor promotion is incentivising someone, because it generates money for them. Both Substacks and NYT best seller lists are marketing. The latter isn't some neutral statement on book sales, its a list that NYT currates with specific and secret criteria. The fact that you think it's neutral is part of that marketing.

@salixlucida What false report? I heard Ted cruz had anne frank in his attic. You just did too. Sounds like a tip that might be of some use to me.

@LPerry2@mastodon.social @MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Washington is also fully vote by mail. Luckily the system has a built-in redundancy of locked, armored and fire resistant dropboxes at most municipal locations like libraries and government buildings. https://votearmor.laserfabusa.com/ Looking into it, Oregon appears to use the same. The postal service can try, but they can't actually stop the vote.

@ruari @disisdeguey I've never ridden yours, but I have ridden some similar at street fairs. That's how I got off. Legs over to one side, then tip off it down towards you until your feet hit the ground. That how I was told to do it, and it worked a treat.

@hutterer @ai6yr one gin bottle at a time.

@dlakelan ahh, sorry to hear that mate. Losing a home to fire is traumatic as all get out. Please take care of you and yours as best you can.

@jason@logoff.website @Holberg@mstdn.social maybe the the next dem president can gift students patriot missles to sell back to the goverment to pay off their debt.

@RedFreljordian @ruari with tall bikes, its luckily the same answer for both: Poorly, but fun!

@eff@mastodon.social @nostarch@mastodon.social "The linux command line" is not only the best tech book i've ever read, its also an excellent book on linux that will take you from zero to writing bash while understanding what you're doing along the way. I'd recommned buying the bundle for it alone, but it is also availible for free on Willaim's site: https://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

@dlakelan Its conquest of bread time to build that praxis: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread Maybe just some bikini kill if the above is too heavy for their age :)
