Glad the #Framework community moderators have decided to re-centre the topics of conversation on the forums towards subjects conducive to the success of the Framework project, similar to the "Principle of Focus":> This is not the place for social or political activism. When interacting with people around this project keep it on topic. While here, the only cause you should be fighting for is the project's success. No distractions.Overall great for the projecthttps://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/1918

@randahl their social class is not “immigrant”, it’s “rich”, they have class consciousness.

@villebooks I mean.. the US is still hegemon for now... and Japan IS pretty much a US client state. I find it unsurprising

Morally conflicted, as we’re reaching planetary tipping points: highest CO2 concentrations in 8000 years, complete collapse of natural carbon sinks ability to capture and remove carbon from the atmosphere.Is there any place for tech or software in climate work? Or is software always going to be detrimental to the environment.#climate #climateemergency #ClimateChange #softwaredevelopment #Technology #tech #software

If you’re unaware, the EU has engaged in mass surveillance in the Global South far ahead of attempts to ram #ChatControl through the EU legal system.Done underhandedly through Frontex, the EU handed data-extraction tools capable of retrieving call logs, photos, GPS locations and WhatsApp messages from any phone to West African nations, helping transfer migration data from host countries to the EU.https://inthesetimes.com/article/europe-militarize-africa-senegal-borders-anti-migration-surveillance#Imperialism #EU #Frontex #HumanRights

Finally dove into the mechanisms and algorithms that allow for #cryptocurrencies to exist, mainly zero-knowledge proofs, and honestly, were it not for the crypto bros giving such a seedy image to the entire industry, I think more people would rightfully be impressed at the technical feats.#crypto

@shironeko it seems to me like the whole point of cryptocurrencies is to dodge regulations, but besides that the technical implementation is very cool

@rbreich why do y'all keep boosting this slop account that gives 0 fucks about ALT text, or posting like a normal person: i.e. not using images where text would suffice.Smh

@maxleibman as soon as Jensen uttered these words, a quorum of Nvidia-affiliated dev rels and influencers started pushing this exact narrative: that we're doomed Luddites, that actually AI energy use isn't that bad, and you're a hypocrite for criticising AI energy use when you use your phone (gasp) to browse the internet (double gasp)

I severely misjudged George Hotz. That the HackerNews community is trying its hardest to muster the skeptic pokerface response, while absolutely melting down on the inside because the techno-optimism party is over is just further confirmation the author struck a (potentially hurtful) truth-nervehttps://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/update/2026/01/18/how-do-i-stop.html

@shironeko That's amazing. I love open hackable hardware, and we need more of those.I think geohotz's Twitter is way more inflammatory than his long form writes, which is maybe why I mischaracterised him. That and thinking tinygrad is overpriced, until I realised the thermal and power issues of building a GPU rig that's worth a damn
