DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOTOS (Short Film)
Even the most well-meaning Americans have a terrible blind spot when it comes to Puerto Rico, Puerto Ricans, and a legacy of US policy that has cause a lot of harm.

The best way to help Puerto Ricans achieve self determination is to learn your history, and understand how US policy negatively affects the island today.

This short firm by Bad Bunny doesn’t address everything, but it’s a good start. https://youtu.be/gLSzEYVDads?si=4C_VbosaZo42fthP

Yet sunlight pours in; it brightens the scene,
Reminding me some moments can sparkle and gleam.
This drudgery shows all the love that I share,
Through effort and care, I’m always aware.
So I sweep and I mop, and while it may bore,
Each chore is a blessing, a chance to restore.
For early mornings might feel a bit grim,
But they bring a new day where hope can begin.

The broom sweeps the floor, swish-swish left and righ
Collecting the crumbs from the snacks of the night.
As I gather the dust, my thoughts drift away,
To dreams big and bright, and a new kind of day.
The laundry awaits, with its mountains to climb,
Sorting out colors, it happens each time.
Folding and stacking, each shirt and each sock,
Feels like quite the task, a nine-to-five block.

In the quiet of dawn, when the world’s still asleep,
The morning unfolds, yet my chores seem so deep.
The sun starts to rise, painting gold in the sky,
But here in the kitchen, it’s just me with a sigh.
I wash all the dishes from last night’s big feast,
Scrub pots and pans that are now my great beast.
The rhythm is steady, a song I have known,
Each bubble and splatter, a routine all my own.

As a trained firefighter I'm astounded/horrified at the number of reporters not wearing masks while reporting on the fires in LA.

A good story isn't worth sacrificing your life and health to hydrocarbons and burning plastic. The average home in 2025 is so toxic while burning that it's hard to watch; far more toxic than homes historically have ever been throughout history. This is something they drilled into us deeply while training.

The cause and effect can be long term and utterly devastating. A mask is gonna save your life in the coming years, be it pandemic or flames.

Wear a mask, shower often. Wash your hands before you eat. A lot of firefighters died before we figured out those basics.

PS- if you have a paint respirator with VOC cartridges even better.

I know no one asked me, but here's my opinion anyway:

I said at the time that the best approach to federating with Threads was to follow your established policies. For most of the fediverse, that means to federate by default, and defederate if that becomes a problem. I stand by this.

I don't actually know what reason Meta had for federating. I doubt they do either. But the story they can tell is that it makes them more open and interoperable. It makes them one (large) provider among many within a market. Which means they're not an illegal monopoly, or whatever.

And if they try to federate and everyone else refuses to even consider it? Then the story they can tell is that nobody wants that. There is no market. And so they're just a normal website with a lot of users.

But if they try to federate, and the market is receptive, but then rejects them as unsafe? That's different. That's now a story that we can tell. And that story practically begs for stricter regulation, at least.

Folks who pay $1K for an iPhone have to put up with some extractive, authoritarian software nonsense, but they get a lot of what they pay for when it comes to hardware.

Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung Semi, and Google OTOH...woof. The very latest, very-top-end parts (Snapdragon X Elite and Dimensity 9400) are maybe worth the cost (finally)...but the rest of the market? Ouch.

slightlyoff@toot.cafe ("Alex Russell") wrote:

Apple continues to lead on top-end chip frequencies, in part because it pays more for access to the smallest process nodes...but that's not what's really going on. The big story for the past 10 years is that Android SoC vendors (Google very much included) have *sucked* at keeping their chips fed with enough data to retire work quickly.

Why? Because they were afraid to trade cores for cache, no matter how much it hobbled their phones.

Attachments:

• CPU frequencies are stagnant at the low-end, but not enough to explain the size of the perf gap between high-end iOS and mid-tier Androids. (remote)
• The mid-tier is finally getting some die-shrink, but because the SoC vendors keep cheaping-out on caches, that isn't turning into faster phones for most users. (remote)

I've been banging on for years about how the low-end of the mobile market has been just totally f'd in terms of the properties that make chips *actually* fast (process shrink + aggressive memory hierarchy optimisation; not core counts), and for this year's PIG post, I'm making EVEN MOAR CHARTS:

Attachments:

• iPhones continue to run away with it in terms of single-core perf, although the latest Snapdragons and Dimensity chips are starting to make a dent at the very high end...but things are still dire at $350 and below (remote)
• Top-end Androids are nearly caught up on multi-core benchmark perf, but that doesn't help most workloads. (remote)
• Why? What changed? Well it sure as shit isn't CPU count. Every Android sold over the past 5 years has had 8 cores. (remote)
• What could it *possibly* be? Maybe it's Apple spending huge amounts both to secure smaller process nodes (next chart), but...mostly...actually spending money on cache! All these high-end Androids have been cheaping out on the the thing that will keep the beast fed, all while running interpreted or JIT'd runtimes that sorely need the help. What a debacle. (remote)

do you know what did get nominated in 1954 for an Oscar in short format animation? National Film Board of Canada’s short titled “The Romance of Transportation in Canada 🤨
