Today's the day! My new book MORE EVERYTHING FOREVER is finally out! If you want to understand why tech billionaires are so obsessed with impossible ideas about space and AI — and why that's dangerous — this book is for you. #MoreEverythingForever www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/adam-...

Just finished reading More Everything Forever by @adambecker.bsky.social

Excellent book. A thoroughly researched and well reasoned takedown of the utter bullshit about A.I. and the future pushed by tech billionaire space-imperialists.

I support the 100% wealth tax.

it's your friendly neighborhood internet fox reminding you that adblockers still work over here 🔥

I write a lot Python for work. Not in the ML/AI space. I am dismayed to learn how power inefficient it is. Assuming the results in this study hold up...

This does explain why the AI companies are sucking down cities worth of electricity...

Great song though

A screenshot of manual page named `systemd-soft-reboot.service` that reads: Such a userspace-only reboot operation permits updating or resetting the entirety of userspace with minimal downtime, as the reboot operation does not transition through: •The second phase of regular shutdown, as implemented by systemd-shutdown(8). •The third phase of regular shutdown, i.e. the return to the initrd context. •The hardware reboot operation. •The firmware initialization. •The boot loader initialization. •The kernel initialization. •The initrd initialization. However, this form of reboot comes with drawbacks as well: •The OS update remains incomplete, as the kernel is not reset and continues running. •Kernel settings (such as /proc/sys/ settings, a.k.a. "sysctl", or /sys/ settings) are not reset.

The `sudo systemctl soft-reboot` on Linux is used for performing a userspace only reboot operation. It will reboot the Linux distro without the BIOS, UEFI or the hardware having to perform a complete cold boot. As a result your system reboots in seconds but will not load a new Linux kernel.

Holy fuck

Huge congrats to the workers at Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore for winning their first union contract in 142 years!

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

Is wanting to be safe, happy, and to exist an "agenda"? Is this a damaging "ideology"?

How narrow is your concept of freedom?

Most trans people I know just want to exist. They deal with the same bullshit we all do, just add in social rejection and real threats to their right to exist. Imagine this added pressure to your already stressed lives.

People try to push this idea of an "agenda" or "ideology"'.

Their safe existence in society is freedom. When a person can be whoever they want to be, when they have full control over their flesh and minds.

Anyone who sees these threats to others, should fear for themselves as well. Once it is acceptable to abridge self-ownership, we have lost. You're next.

Any threat to their happiness, safety, and right to exist is my enemy. Just as such threats to any of my friends are. I fully believe that no one is free until we all are free.

There is no ideology or debate. These are human beings. They express a part of the human experience that most of us dont

I have a surprising number of trans friends as a cishet person.

Do I share their feelings as trans people? No.

Do I fully understand them? No.

Answering "yes" to these questions would be too presumptuous. I understand them from an outside perspective.

They are my friends because I like them

People need to understand that total bodily autonomy is the definition of freedom, and if you are willing to restrict the bodily autonomy of any person for any reason then you do not believe in freedom.

Why lol. (Look at my pfp)

Normalized mass surveillance and censorship is a nightmare.

All of these pro surveillance/ pro censorship bills are starting with porn sites, fan sites, and any NSFW content deemed “obscene”. Sex workers are an easy target to test the waters. Puritanical/ religiously motivated censorship WILL affect you eventually. If you don’t think that, you are wrong.

I am about halfway through this book, and so far, I strongly recommend it.

Libraries are cool and librarians are awesome.

If anyone is interested in donating books to a good cause, let me know! There is a queer library in my local area and I'm happy to drop off books or pass out the address (in dms).

It's called art
