I've been checking out Núcleo, a Brazilian independent tech news site. Such a cool site! Most of it is in Portuguese, but here’s a link to an excellent piece of journalism about how Polymarket is being used by right-wing YouTube channels. https://nucleo.jor.br/english/2026/06/02/banned-in-brazil-polymarket-has-become-a-polling-firm-for-right-wing-youtube-channels/

It has been 0 days since I have messaged a male colleague via side channel to ask them to repeat something I said in a meeting 15 minutes earlier because it got ignored when I said it, and it ended up resolving the purpose of the meeting when he repeated it.

This scenario has happened several times since transitioning.

At least they see me as a woman?

The bar is on the floor and somehow they slide under it.

No, we will not be doing an emergency hotfix on both mobile platforms because you changed an API parameter name on a production endpoint to satisfy your linter. You’ll be rolling that one back to the last know good state and revving the api version properly before we change any mobile code.

Orbital AI datacentres come with latency issues. If they're in LEO, they will have moderately low latency to a moving point on Earth, but for a fixed client the latency will increase as more relays are needed to account for curvature, so the jitter is high. If you put them in geostationary orbit, the latency is fixed, but large.

The solution to this is to put not just the AI datacentres, but also the AI bros in orbit. If you put an AI bro and a small radio in LEO, in the same orbital trajectory as an AI datacenter, they will have very low latency - indeed, significantly lower latency than ground-based routing if both they and the datacentre are on the ground.

Importantly, AI bros have a lot less mass than datacentres. As such, they are much cheaper to launch. As a pilot programme, to assess feasibility, I recommend launching a test constellation of AI bros into LEO. Note that, unlike datacentres, AI bros are made out of non-toxic (at least, in the chemical sense) substances. The environmental impact of uncontrolled atmospheric reentry is significantly lower, making the risk from the failure of a pilot deployment significantly lower.

I wrote another thing about the sort of resistance against generative AI and capitalism I am considering, and I'm hoping some of y'all might have some feedback.

A lightning storm managed to knock out our internet last night. After lots of rebooting and factory reset, I narrowed it down to the ethernet adapter dongle for the gen2 Starlink router being fried. I ordered a new one, but in the mean time I pulled out the retired Mac mini to act as a client to the isp router and share a wired connection to my actual home router that everything else goes through. Triple NATed until the new Ethernet adapter arrives and I can put the isp router back into bypass mode.

If you're following someone who posts interesting stuff but boosts way too often, you can mute just their boosts:

1. Go to the account's profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button
3. Click "Hide Boosts"

Their own posts will continue appearing in your timeline as normal, but their boosts won't.
