“Homophobia” is bigger than fear.

It is fear, yes — but also hatred, insecurity, toxic masculinity, religious control, colonial law, medical stigma, and patriarchy having a public meltdown because some people refuse to live inside the approved script.

Historically, anti-LGBTQ+ prejudice was not born from one source. It grew from systems obsessed with controlling bodies: who can love, who can marry, who can reproduce, who counts as “masculine,” who counts as “normal,” and who gets punished for stepping outside the line.

So no, it is not just a phobia.

It is a control system.

And once you see that, the whole thing looks a lot less like “morality” and a lot more like fear wearing a judge’s robe, a priest’s collar, a doctor’s coat, and a politician’s smile.

Niños techie

En mis tiempos mozos, recuerdo que en la clase de computación nos hacían jugar con Logo (ese del puntero en forma de tortuga), por culpa de ese bicho me termine decantando por esta profesión/hobby/modo de vida.

Recuerdo que apenas sonaba la campana para ingresar al lab, era cosa de correr y sentarte frente a la maquina elegida (ya sabíamos cual era la mas potente o con el teclado menos usado), la felicidad que generaba era indescriptible. Y más al ver que la tortuga se movía, tras programar un par de instrucciones; era tal el éxtasis, que se perdía la noción del tiempo. Tanto que "olvidábamos" que habían mas clases y que debíamos regresar al aula, vale mencionar que siempre llegaba a la mitad de la siguiente y terminaba castigado al fondo del salón o resolviendo alguna interrogante del profesor (no siempre con buen resultado).

Veo con agrado que en mi país muchos niños, ya están disfrutando de las clases de computo, con el mismo o mayor fervor Muy a pesar del uso de alguna IA, como chatGPT y Gemini, para generar con scripts simples o código html, una aplicación para su emprendimiento (una tarea escolar), pues veo ese brillo en sus ojos, "al codear" , muchas veces copy/paste, sus primeros resultados. A la consulta, para que sirve este u otro tag, o que mas puedo hacer, cuando se rompe y toca debuggear y ver como dar solución al problema, sin duda me emociona mucho y tengo fe, en que puede cambiar el país, para bien.

Lo digo en voz alta, El legado sigue.

“Everything got a whole lot worse once they rolled out AI.” Ken said the company’s executives shifted the blame to staff when they pushed back about AI-fueled productivity decreases."...
While initial drafts were a breeze to create, Ken and his co-workers had to spend more time rewriting, correcting errors and resolving disagreements between each other’s chatbots than if they had never used AI at all.
“Quality decreased significantly, time to produce a piece of content increased significantly and, most importantly, morale decreased,” said the copywriter,

Consistency matters more than turning yourself into a walking coffee bean

So I'm right where I am.

Caffeine swiggers also scored better on some cognitive tests and were less likely to complain about memory slips, according to the study.

Before anyone starts mainlining espresso shots in the name of science, the apparent benefits weren't tied to heroic levels of caffeine intake, just to steady, mid-range consumption – roughly two to three cups a day – suggesting that consistency matters more than turning yourself into a walking coffee bean.

Plötzlich Facebook-Lobbyistin: Irlands einst höchste Datenschützerin wechselt die Seite


Jahrelang stand Helen Dixon in der Kritik, weil sie als irische Datenschutzbeauftragte zu nachsichtig mit Tech-Konzernen gewesen sei. Jetzt arbeitet sie für eine Anwaltskanzlei, die Meta in Verfahren gegen ihre Behörde vertreten hat. Für Datenschützende kommt das nur wenig überraschend.


Surprised Pikachu!

The US—they call it NATO, though it was primarily the US—bombed North Korea almost to oblivion. When there was nothing left to bomb, they targeted dams—a major war crime for which Nazi criminals were hanged. Official histories, like the Air Force Quarterly, exult over these bombings. Huge torrents of water flooded valleys, destroyed crops, and killed people dependent on rice for survival. It’s monstrous, the praise for massive war crimes.

... since everything else in North Korea had been destroyed, the air force was sent to destroy North Korea’s dams, huge dams that controlled the water supply — a war crime, by the way, for which people were hanged in Nuremberg. And these official journals were talking excitedly about how wonderful it was to see the water pouring down, digging out the valleys, and the Asians scurrying around trying to survive. The journals were exulting in what this meant to those “Asians,” horrors beyond our imagination. It meant the destruction of their rice crop, which in turn meant starvation and death. How magnificent! It’s not in our memory, but it’s in their memory.

Friendica Issues now resolved on Nerdica.net

As of today, during the night, the backlog of >5 Mio. worker queue items has been resolved and new posts are delivered on time again.

Hopefully it stays that way.

Counter measures were:
- increasing count of CPU cores from 8 to 24 vCPUs
- increasing memory size from 20GB to 65GB
- redundant setup of Friendica behind a load balancer, so that two virtual servers can work on the backlog

Whileas CPU and RAM are back to their old settings, the redundant setup will stay and maybe extended to a third virtual machine.
