Y’all, you know I love a red string board. This #Nvidia nonsense? Whoo boy, do I have a red board!
So Jensen #Huang and Alice Huang are our main named players. For ease, I’ll use first names. So, the infamous Jensen signs boobs incident…the boobs reportedly belonged to Alice, and that began their relationship.
Alice was a Chinese media personality, who suddenly found herself the sole owner of a Taiwan chip company, #Megaspeed. Megaspeed had a ton of nvidia chips in shipping boxes labeled #GDS and #Chindata, who happens to be two of China's biggest data center operators. Megaspeed was housed at Chindata's Southeast Asian arm, #Bridge Data Centres.
And that’s before I even break into the #TanYongPong shell company, and the #BVI ownership chain.
Y’all, this wasn’t an affair, this was a cover for a $7.5 billion chip diversion pipeline. I’m calling it now.
(I’m not now, nor have I ever been suicidal.)
While we are watching this Senate leadership battle play out, let's think about one of the major implications. Whoever wins is going to have the power of appointing committee positions.
Right now the battle lines are being drawn, with billionaire elite backed moderates supporting Chuck Schumer, and #WeThePeople backed progressives supporting Chris Van Hollen.
If we want to break the yoke of the billionaire elite on positions of power within the Senate, Chris Van Hollen must win this fight.
I hate listening to wannabe tech bros as much as listening to tech bros.

I think I'm just gonna ditch my custom email domain and switch over to posteo.de. Their anti-LLM stance really sets them apart from other email providers that value security and privacy. It will be a pain to update all my accounts but it will be another opportunity to delete accounts I don't need too.

“Politics” refers to the processes and activities that groups of people use to make shared decisions about the distribution of power and resources.
When a company prioritizes a specific political party, that’s politics. When a company chooses to harm or to protect a specific subgroup of society, that’s politics. When a company decides to fund or eschew a specific technology, that’s politics.
And when an multibillion dollar AI vendor decides to give their technology free reign to plagiarize people’s work en masse and scramble entire job markets, but then decides to crack down on that technology when it infringes on •company’s• work and scrambles •product• markets…that too is politics.

So, I know that I won't actually win anyone over to writing alt text by shaming them directly, but I am utterly flabbergasted how many so called "radical" accounts posting political art either don't bother with alt text at all or are really fucking bad at it.
Progressive needs to be inclusive. That means accessibility too. How can we support each other if we don't include each other?

Yale University researchers released a new study finding that Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation would save 114,000 lives and reduce overall healthcare spending in America by more than $1 trillion a year.

People keep holding up California, and especially San Francisco, as the leading example of progressivism and “liberalism” and “leftism” but the truth is quite far from that.
A lot of California deeply believes in the capitalist myth. And don’t forget that many (most?) of the prominent US tech companies are here. Which way do you think their True Believers will vote?
San Francisco, in particular, votes to protect wealth and power over public welfare way more than Fox News would like you to believe.

Congratulations to all the accepted stands for #FOSDEM27 !
I see there will be a "Women of Open Source" stand which sounds amazing.
After having our DEIB (Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging) devroom rejected, it feels good to see something acknowledging the work and contributions of women in open source. I'll make sure to stop by the stand when I'm there! If you know who's behind it, please let me know, I'd love to contact them.
@drahardja Contact your precinct chair and/or county chair and ask how you can help. Work that angle from the inside.
Justice is a prerequisite for reconciliation and we need to not let them piss away the mandate to clean house and hold the corrupt and evil to account.
Schumer and Jeffries will ignore you and me. Your local staff? Probably not so much. They're the ones doing the work - press them. They have more power than they realize and we're more likely to sway them than the Won't You Please Please Please Send $30 crowd.
Listen to Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed about Democrats not taking this opportunity to clean house. Voters elected Donald Trump not because he’s good, but because they were sick and tired of “politics as usual.” In that sense, red-state voters elected Democrats for the same reason.
If you believe that people voted in Donald Trump to blow up the establishment in 2016, then you must believe that people flipped states blue to do the same thing in 2026.
Democrats need to rise to the occasion. Fuck this “centrist” nonsense. Fighting the people means cleaning out the infestation of Nazis and corruption, and putting programs in place to break apart the power of billionaires and return it to the people.
