Also I swear I've said "nice hat" watching these Dune movies \ series more time than I have for anything else in the past several months.
Apparently a bunch of former Id Software devs laid off by #Xbox have started their own studio. Let's show them some love. It's a risk doing this, but employee owned studios are less likely to burn us than bigger studios are and this team is experienced.

a very obvious question is "why would Jensen Huang risk criminal prosecution by selling GPUs to China if demand in the US was so high there was a waiting list" and the very obvious answer is that demand in the US was **never** actually that high, and UH-OH, we are now in Enron territory. 👀

NVIDIA Allegedly Engineered Scarcity By Funding AI Startups To Buy Its GPUs
Following the departure of now-former NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, a new report has emerged alleging that NVIDIA artificially inflated the ongoing GPU and memory shortage by investing in AI startups that would go on to buy NVIDIA GPUs and build data centers. The reason behind this was to maintain the perception of ongoing high demand and to move an oversupply of semiconductors from TSMC.
@ai6yr the last time I got it 3 years ago it was the kids bringing it home from school... And now I am indeed concerned about the younger stepson catching it as paramedic. In that job it is almost unavoidable. But he moved out and has strict instructions not to come over with a cold or something... (Fun sidenote, his service area is the airport and they are now training him to drive on the tarmac. At age 20 that seems a bit premature...)
@carstenfranke Yeah, they basically troll through the disease pool every day. LOL on the tarmac. The EMS folks all look so young, I think he's even on the older side not being 18 or 19 or 20 lol.
> nvidia stocks falls
> bunch of new IPs of scrappers getting blocked again
Really? Well… competitive mindset kind of world I guess.

Do we have any alternative to YouTube?
I want to make some videos, but I do not want to add them to TY, I am looking for an alternative, unfortunately I know Vimeo, but this is not what I am looking for.

@carstenfranke Well, the rest of the family is coming down with something too. (my son is a paramedic too, seems to drag home a lot of crud 😬). Took a bunch of naps today, will take more naps tomorrow... hopefully will gain the upper hand on it at some point. Anyway, that's my theory, who knows!!

Decentralized social media for environmental research

Decentralized social media for environmental research
A. Chai-allah, A. Ghermandi, N. Fox, D. Van Berkel bioRxiv · 10.64898/2026.11.06.764567v1 · ecology · submitted 2026-11-12
Abstract
Social media data are reshaping environmental research. However, recent ownership and policy changes on centralized platforms like Twitter/X have motivated many users to seek new alternatives while simultaneously accelerating data restrictions for scientists. Decentralized social media, particularly Bluesky and Mastodon, are emerging as alternatives for users seeking greater control over their data and as a more stable and sustainable source of data for researchers. This rise may be instrumental in revitalizing the role of social media in environmental research. This study aims to provide a first-of-its-kind analysis of the potential of these new sources for environmental research, demonstrating their potential usefulness through the examples of climate change discourses and people’s appreciation of wildlife. We find an increased adoption of Mastodon and Bluesky, with high linguistic diversity, even if dominated by English. Wildlife image content reveals broad taxonomic diversity, with plants, birds, and insects dominating the records. We find this pattern broadly consistent with that observed on the popular citizen science platform iNaturalist. Climate change discourse is found to broadly reflect the scientific consensus on both platforms, with contrarian claims remaining uncommon. This suggests that researchers may benefit from less polarized opinions and misinformation, arising from interactions that are less driven by engagement maximizing algorithms implemented in other platforms. Our study illustrates the promise of decentralized social media as a new data source for environmental scientists and paves the way for their broader use in environmental research.
