A homeowner in Denmark decided to tackle his back garden to build a terrace and got a shock. He found over 40 pounds in weight of Viking silver- comprising of 700 single objects. The objects included coins, a Thor's hammer, and silver bars, one of which was engraved with runes. Two of the coins dated to the Anglos-Saxons minted during the reign of King Edward the Elder. Thus the hoard dates to the 10th century. https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/vikings/biggest-surprise-of-my-life-homeowner-discovers-denmarks-largest-viking-age-silver-hoard-in-their-backyard
For me…
This is HIGH ART.
Is there a better visual representation of our society and humanity today then these statuettes?

Normalized Fascism in Open Source: $12 Million Given to DHH
https://brennan.day/normalized-fascism-in-open-source-12-million-given-to-dhh/
For the folks that are increasingly fed-up with #Apple and the other #US #tech #fascist bootlickers, you do not have to continue supporting #fascism and surveillance computing. If you've been scared of trying GNU/Linux you should stop being scared and try it out.
I'd used Apple tech for 30 years and have had no problem switching to GNU/Linux. I've written a series of blog posts about the process linked below.
I'm mostly using the Mint distribution of GNU/Linux on a 2018 used Lenovo laptop that cost $250 on eBay. It boots as quickly as an M1 MacMini and opens/runs apps just as quickly. Not only are modern versions of GNU/Linux easy to test run but also easy to install and use. Mint looks very nice and if you prefer the look of macOS it's not too hard to do with various customizations. Or try the @elementary distribution of Linux which, out of the box has a macOS feel.

EVEN IF THE WEST QUITS,
CHINA WON’T 💎
There is something slightly surreal about people demanding that we simply stop AI. Stop developing it. Stop using it. Stop feeding it. Shut the whole bloody thing down.
Okay.
BUT THERE IS ONE SMALL PROBLEM.
CHINA.
Even if the entire Western world woke up tomorrow morning, deleted ChatGPT, unplugged every data centre and solemnly promised never to train another AI model, China would not say:
“WELL, FAIR PLAY. WE’LL STOP TOO.”
Nor would India, South Korea, Japan, the Gulf states or anybody else with serious technological ambitions. AI is no longer merely a clever consumer product. It is becoming infrastructure, scientific capability, economic power and military capability. And once that happens, countries do not voluntarily leave the field while their competitors keep playing.
ESPECIALLY AMERICA.
Can anyone seriously imagine the United States government announcing: “China may become the world’s dominant AI power. We have decided we’re comfortable with that.”
I NEARLY HURT MYSELF TYPING THAT LAST BIT LOL.
America is not going to sit quietly and watch China become dominant in strategically important technology. And China is already extremely good at things the West once assumed it would always dominate: manufacturing, batteries, solar, electric vehicles, infrastructure, robotics, transport and increasingly sophisticated technology.
AND SO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISN’T GOING TO GO AWAY.
That does not mean every use of AI is good. It does not mean corporations should be trusted. It does not mean there should not be regulation, boundaries, transparency or serious arguments about environmental costs, copyright, employment, surveillance and power.
THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS WORTH HAVING.
But “STOPPING AI” is not a realistic plan. That horse has not merely bolted. China is building a faster horse.

I had this idea last night: It'd be cool to give away web hosting spots to individuals or groups doing cool things who can't afford the hosting bills. - Clubs, neat blogs, etc
But if folks can't afford a hosting plan, they probably don't have a domain name either. Endless subdomains would become nebulous to manage pretty quickly if you scaled up.

Miss August stands with ceremonial precision in her white military style uniform, complete with gold buttons, black tie, and a peaked cap bearing the insignia of command. Her jacket displays a winged emblem, colourful ribbons, and chevron stripes each symbol a mark of earned distinction. In her right hand, she holds a black sidearm, a compact handgun that complements her formal posture with quiet authority. Unlike previous months featuring tactical gear, Miss August represents the ceremonial edge of service where tradition, honour, and readiness meet in full view.
Military Motivation Slogan:
“Honour the uniform. Carry the legacy. Serve with pride.”
August in Canada is a month of reflection, heritage, and civic pride. Emancipation Day on August 1 commemorates the abolition of slavery in the British Empire, honouring the resilience and contributions of Black Canadians. National Peacekeepers’ Day on August 9 pays tribute to those who have served in international peacekeeping missions, reinforcing Canada’s commitment to global stability. As summer operations continue and ceremonial duties rise, Miss August stands as a symbol of dignity, discipline, and the enduring values of service.

Miss September sits confidently in camouflage patterned athletic gear crop top and leggings branded with the TILLIONCORP insignia. Her posture is relaxed yet alert, positioned in front of a military tank that reinforces her connection to strength and machinery. In her hands, she holds a black assault style rifle, a weapon that complements her tactical poise and readiness. The black star tattoo on her shoulder adds a personal mark of resilience and individuality. Unlike previous months featuring ceremonial or command attire, Miss September blends combat readiness with modern military fitness, reminding us that strength is both physical and mental.
Military Motivation Slogan:
“Strength is earned. Grit is worn. Power is personal.”
September in Canada is a month of transition, reflection, and renewed focus. Labour Day marks the dignity of work and the contributions of those who build and protect our communities. Terry Fox Run events across the country honour courage, endurance, and the fight against cancer. National Day of Service on September 11 commemorates acts of kindness and sacrifice, while Back to School season reminds us that education and discipline go hand in hand. Miss September stands as a symbol of tactical fitness, personal resilience, and the evolving face of military excellence.

In 2016, AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton declared radiology a "dead career" and claimed machines would replace doctors within 5 years.
Instead, the exact opposite happened: demand for radiologists skyrocketed.
When AI automated parts of scan analysis, reading times plummeted. Because getting results became so fast and accessible, doctors started ordering vastly more scans than ever before—outpacing the supply of specialists.
This classic economic phenomenon is known as the Jevons Paradox: efficiency doesn't eliminate demand—it multiplies it.

The Trump administration’s designation of the Autistici/Inventati (A/I) tech collective as a global terrorist organization sets a dangerous precedent. It effectively weaponizes counterterrorism laws against routine privacy, giving federal agencies free rein to hit anyone using A/I’s hosting tools—worldwide—with asset freezes, travel bans, and criminal charges. Funny how this admin whines about weaponization but that’s exactly what they do with the government.

Anyone else think this is a bad idea? It may not end well for #Salesforce
Salesforce is partnering with Anthropic to bring Claude directly into the Salesforce platform through what the companies are calling “Claude for Salesforce.”
On the surface, this sounds like another major AI integration. But there’s a bigger strategic question here: what happens when the AI assistant inside your CRM starts becoming capable of doing much more than simply retrieving information?
Claude will be integrated across Salesforce workflows, helping employees analyze customer data, draft communications, automate tasks, and interact with business processes.
That could create significant productivity gains. But it also introduces a potentially uncomfortable dynamic for Salesforce.
If customers increasingly rely on Claude as the interface through which they access Salesforce, could Salesforce gradually become the underlying system of record rather than the primary user experience?
And if Anthropic continues expanding Claude’s capabilities across enterprise applications, Salesforce may ultimately be helping strengthen a layer of AI abstraction that could weaken the importance of Salesforce’s own interface and application ecosystem.
There’s also the obvious security and governance challenge: giving an AI system access to sensitive customer and business data at enterprise scale requires extremely strong controls around permissions, data isolation, auditing, and agent autonomy.
AI partnerships like this can be enormously valuable. But they also have the potential to shift where the real value sits in the technology stack.
The big question is whether Salesforce is building the future of its platform or helping build the layer that eventually sits above it.

One of the chief reasons why Popular Science and Gizmodo and @arstechnica etc. have been worse than useless at serving the public interest as reporters on #technology comes from the simple fact of "publish or perish": the imperative to get ANY sort of "content" into print, whether on paper or on the #web, is so overwhelming that it wrecks any possibility of getting in-depth investigative journalism, which takes time and is frequently bereft of striking results. The tech corporations are constantly pouring out "content" that's ready to print: press releases, publicity photographs, insider tips and leaks which can be reported upon as if they were in-depth journalism when in fact they're part of corporate publicity.

I've hated using a cane ever since I was a child. I hated it even more when I was taught the proper way of using it i.e. having to bend my rist and keep it close to the centre of my body, all while swinging it wide enough to protect me on both sides. I bought an Ambutech Slimline in graphite because it's thin and light, but I still tolerate it at best. I have no interest in a guide dog, since I don't want the responsibility of taking care of one, and I don't want to have to work it during the winter. Plus, I'm not one for walking places, preferring to go with loved ones, taxis, or if no other option is available, paratransit.
Ideally, I would want a robot. As it is, I have something called an AMD or adaptive mobility device, which I highly prefer over a cane. Some people refer to them as pre-canes. The one I own is made by Ambutech and is called the Rectangular AMD. It can be found here.
https://ambutech.com/collections/rectangular-amd/products/rectangular-amd
It looks like four canes arranged in a rectangle, with wheels on the bottom, handles on the top right and left, and one in the middle. The handles are like those on a cane and are built into the shafts, rather than sticking out. The one in the middle is used when walking up and down stairs and when you have something in your hand, though that second use is not official. The AMD is pushed in front of the user, and covers his body, so there's no need to swing it. It comes in both an indoor and outdoor version, with the latter using swivelling wheels and the former using fixed ones. I prefer that, since I veer, and the swivelling wheels make it worse. The AMD is great with detecting drop-offs and I've found it to be as good as a cane with everything else. On the negative side, as with a cane, it will not detect things at chest or head level. It folds like a cane but only does so vertically, so that it remains wide. Personally, if I could design my own, I would make it telescopic, with buttons like on some suitcases, so that it would remain locked when in use. I would also allow it to fold in half, by creating hinges on the top and bottom thereby making it take up less room when being stored.
In any case, has anyone else here ever used one, or would anyone be interested in doing so? If you have heard of them before, were you told by a mobility instructor? I wasn't and discovered them on my own. If you are a mobility instructor, have you ever recommended an AMD to one of your students?

What is »permacomputing«?
„Permacomputing is both a concept and a community of practice oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and network technology inspired by permaculture.
There are huge environmental and societal issues in today's computing, and permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as permaculture has challenged industrial agriculture. With that said, permacomputing is an anti-capitalist political project. It is driven by several strands of anarchism, decoloniality, intersectional feminism, post-marxism, degrowth, ecologism.
Permacomputing is also a utopian ideal that needs a lot of rethinking, rebuilding and technical design work to put in practice. This is why a lot of material on this wiki is highly technical.
Most importantly, there is no permacomputing kit to buy. See permacomputing as invitation to collectively and radically rethink computational culture. It is not a tech solution searching for a problem. You are free to start your own initiative and use the term permacomputing, however please make sure you understand the purpose and ethos of this project.“
Hm, interesting concept!

This is fine.

And you should seriously be thinking about this and at least have a contingency plan given what happened this week with the fascist US government designating Autistici/Inventati – an anti-fascist Italian .org providing internet support to activists – as terrorists, sanctioning them, and knocking them off the Internet.
If you’re serious about sovereignty, @EUCommission, you should be at DEFCON 1. And if your sovereignty plans don’t include decentralisation across the board, we are well and truly fucked.
This doesn’t just concern domains. If you’re an anti-fascist or anti-genocide org or group, the fascist US government can designate you a terrorist group and sanction you thereby cutting you off from banking, hosting, and almost all other infrastructure providers with zero due process in the EU.

Life as a remote worker often means going from home office to fast-food joint, doctor’s office to coffee shop and then back to home office. PC World tech writer Gabriela Vatu knows this routine as well as anyone, and she shares the items she always keeps in her laptop bag. An important read because you never know where you could be zooming from next:
Microsoft used to grant special licenses to smaller nonprofits so they could get Office apps like Word, Excel and OneDrive at no charge. Last year they announced they were winding down the program. Then, without warning according to former users, they terminated the licenses, leading to thousands of organizations having all their data deleted. Here's @Slate with more.

I found a new disrupive technology called pen and paper. Its a text and image storage and editing system. Its a game changer.
In my search my for ever running search for knowledge, I started to see lemmy links more often. Way more often. Lemmy is gaining momentum if it's links seep in more and more in my FediVerse feeds.
I had deliberately stayed away from the drama which the reddit Overlords inflicted upon their users, with their LLM training fails. I have Reddit accounts which are basically Smurfs and were hardly used.
I was hoping that, since Lemmy is also federated, I could add an account through my Mastodon clients. It's quite clear that I didn't (bother) to read which Federated protocols Lemmy networks use, otherwise I would have known beforehand that it would fail.
Interestingly enough, I've had a Jerboa client installed on one of my androids without using it. Of course it was deleted after a while
Jerboa for lemmy is now run with a purpose, after deliberatly making a Lemmy account in the LemmyVerse. What I looked for was a server which does not reside in the USA (reasons should be obvious considering Little Donny the Orange President) so big tech USA has no grip on that account

Guys, MAJOR update for PH4NTXM...
I've been working long for this one, using all the technical knowledge can be found offline/online, with specialized tools, automations and more.
PH4NTXM now is on v2.0.0
A lot of things changed, from UI, to fail-closed mechanisms, and strict boot verification pilot.
Philosophy remained as always THE SAME.
It's a big step, cause we filled so many gaps, and automated things to be adaptive, like the purpose of the Operating System.
Go try it, build it, break it, repeat.

Why is Nvidia buying Hugging Face (for $12.9 billion, no less)? The appeal of gaining a strong foothold in the world of open source AI is one reason. @Techcrunch has more:
Reflecting the argument that AI & associated technologies may redirect workers towards jobs that have human skills at the heart, there seems to ab rise in young people looking at artisan work as an alternative to a difficult career commuting with AI.
Computer aided automaton leads to jobs in sectors that require human proximity becomig more valued, but this is unlikely to be a plausible mass response?
Can everyone become an artisan?

#patreon aggregation thread.
Since it basically increased daily viewership by something like 1% by posting one video once to go fishing on Patreon, I'm making adding #lispyGopherClimate #technology #podcast episodes-classic a regular thing over there.
The intent is to fish for #lisp ( #curl ?) users over there and bring them into the weekly shows (and #lambdaMOO #VR !) rather than send you over there. Boosts welcome for this thread.

AND THEN THERE
IS EVERYBODY ELSE 💎
Today I'm thinking about AI, LOL, again, and I think there are actually three quite distinct groups forming around Artificial Intelligence.
There is a small group so frightened by it that they have decided they want nothing at all to do with it. And an even smaller group that has gone further and decided that anyone who uses AI is somehow morally suspect, deserving of abuse and bullying for their choice to use the technology.
AND THEN THERE IS EVERYBODY ELSE.
Most of us are not marching around waving AI banners.
WE’RE WATCHING.
We are trying things. We’re asking where it helps and where it doesn’t. We’re learning what it can do for disability, accessibility, education, writing, research, communication, creativity, work and ordinary daily life.
Some of us will use AI a lot. Some will barely use it at all. Some will remain deeply sceptical, and that seems perfectly healthy to me.
WHAT'S NOT HEALTHY IS FEAR OF A TECHNOLOGY TURNING INTO HOSTILITY TOWARD THOSE WHO USE IT.
AI is still very new. None of us knows exactly where this is going. But I suspect the future will not belong to the people shouting loudest either for it or against it.
It will belong to the much larger group quietly discovering where it adds value to human life. And where it doesn’t.

The #LLM has become super popular with #technology grifters precisely because there's almost nothing to it, which means that any "entrepreneur" wanting to get rich without working for it can hop onto the #startup bandwagon for "generative AI". #Cryptocurrency became popular for the same reason: there's almost nothing to it. A #blockchain is simply a ledger of transactions supposedly guaranteed by cryptography (but in fact no blockchain can be trusted.)
(etc.)
I consider this such a catastrophically obvious PROBLEM with the #technology sector obsession with #GenAI that I'm slightly surprised still that no tech journalists (to my knowledge) has commented on the issue--but the semi-taboo nature of IQ discourse is probably sufficient to explain this lapse.

Time for a weird question, or a scary one even. Could humans devolve someday? Like go backwards to a feral state?
I feel like technology has made it to where we don't have to think anymore. And when you don't need something anymore, you may lose it. I go over it here:
