The AI Bubble is also a data center bubble, and by extension a commercial/industrial real estate bubble.

When it pops, it’s not just going to affect tech workers. It’s also going to hit construction workers, electricians, plumbers, and pipefitters, to name a few.

And we’re suddenly going to have a shitload of giant data centers, many sitting on what used to be residential land — the 2020s answer to dead malls.

More than 150 Russian Shahed attack drones are simultaneously in Ukrainian skies, monitoring channels report.

Even during large-scale strikes, such a number in the air at once is unusual — typically, additional waves are launched later.

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.

So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch.

A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out a fact sheet about them to a bunch of journalists, but very few are going to write about this. So, let me try posting it all here.

Here's what I know about Reflect Orbital and all the downsides:

Software is a collection of ideas and decisions that a person has turned into a machine.

When it turns out that person has repulsive, noxious and dehumanizing ideas, it is entirely reasonable to not want the machines they've made in your life, or the decisions they've made affecting your life.

It is entirely reasonable to object to their being part of communities you care about, and to object to their ideas and decisions being normalized or valorized.

Nothing about this is complicated.

I paid a fuckton of money for my @frameworkcomputer laptop parts. I paid extra for the parts I could've saved money on elsewhere because I wanted to support the company and what they stand for. I even ported Debian to the RISC-V Motherboard for the product that made Framework Framework: The Framework 13.

Now Framework decided to sponsor Omarchy and Hyprland, the leaderships of which are not just "politically of a different opinion", they are actively toxic, hostile and highly discriminatory, to phrase it euphemistically.

Nirav Patel responded to this in the community forum, essentially doubling down on the decision to take a "big tent approach".

I want to reiterate: __This isn't about "political differences", because the political difference are actively harmful to democracy itself, and the physical safety of marginalised communities.

Someone I supported in good faith with both code and money turned around and gave this money to multiple people who'd rather see me dead for existing.

Needless to say, I feel quite betrayed and I'm really torn on wether or not I should even continue and proceed with the port for the second RISC-V mainboard, because I don't want to end up supporting the hate towards me, my wife or other people in the same situation as me.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels betrayed by this decision.

Oh wow, the @frameworkcomputer team's reply to them supporting far-right racists is terrible: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2.

I don't want to spend money with a company that has a "big tent" policy and allows people to piss in it. I never want to be in a tent with people pissing in it. OSS does not need it.

Speaking as a German - this 'big tent' approach just doesn't work.

Today is a good day to write to support@frame.work using your shop email address. I will.
