He means they are also brown skinned.

A screenshot of a post from “Republicans against Trump.” The post quotes a conversation where Donald Trump claims Somalians are “taking over Minnesota” and later says Somalians “have caused a lot of trouble.” Beneath the text is an image from a TV interview showing a man seated at a table holding up a printed photograph. On-screen text reads “BREAKING NEWS” and references National Guard members.

Please won't anyone think of the poor millionaires

Times Wealth Survey 'We may be millionaires but don't call us rich' They may be asset-rich on paper, but with most of their mo eh tied up in homes or pensions many are still feeling the soaring cost of living

Microsoft announces a new marketing strategy for the Year of the Linux Desktop 😉 Thank you for doing this. 😂 Nobody asked for this kind of product that breaks all privacy and safety standards. So choose wisely

A screenshot of post on Twitter by Pavan Davuluri (Microsoft employee) stating that "Windows is evolving into an agentic OS, connecting devices, cloud, and AI to unlock intelligent productivity and secure work anywhere. Join us at #MSIgnite to see how frontier firms are transforming with Windows and what's next for the platform. We can't wait to show you!"

@nixCraft Windows is "evolving" into nothing.

Since windows 10, really shows what microshit was planning to do, be "malware" thats what it is. It sits on your hardware taking snap shots of EVERYTHING you do and send it to Microsoft, why? I have no idea why someone would call "privacy and safe" while confirming that their practice's are NOT safe but you know what? Fuck it! who cares about privacy right? that saying "nothing to hide?" I have nothing to hide but wouldn't leave my door unlocked!

They had me at the headline: AI isn’t replacing jobs. AI spending is

"From Amazon to General Motors to Booz Allen Hamilton, layoffs are being announced and blamed on AI. Amazon said it would cut 14,000 corporate jobs. United Parcel Service (UPS) said it had reduced its management workforce by about 14,000 positions over the past 22 months. And Target said it would cut 1,800 corporate roles. Some academic economists have also chimed in: The St. Louis Federal Reserve found a (weak) correlation between theoretical AI exposure and actual AI adoption in 12 occupational categories."

"Yet we remain skeptical of the claim that AI is responsible for these layoffs. A recent MIT Media Lab study found that 95% of generative AI pilot business projects were failing. Another survey by Atlassian concluded that 96% of businesses “have not seen dramatic improvements in organizational efficiency, innovation, or work quality.” Still another study found that 40% of the business people surveyed have received “AI slop” at work in the last month and that it takes nearly two hours, on average, to fix each instance of slop. In addition, they “no longer trust their AI-enabled peers, find them less creative, and find them less intelligent or capable.”

@briankrebs I remember the dot gov crew saying "we will work beside ai, they will not replace humans" I went to sleep and now feel like I'm in the dream, however, its more of a nightmare.
I did say to everyone they dont bring something out like this for jokes. They want the pressure on us for the 2030 deadline. Where we will own nothing but be happy about it?🤨🤨🤨 how does that work? 🤣

Zoe Kleinman, Technology editor at the BBC, writes that tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we all be worried? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly17834524o 😳

Why even build a technology like AI or AGI if you need to hide in a bunker for the rest of your life? Life is much better when you don't cause panic, joblessness, and force a large number of unemployed people to start a revolution. These tech bros are either delusional or have way too much money or fancy doomsday lifestyle. Idiots.

@nixCraft windows recall!

@itsfoss
Windows cut themselves off from the world when the started to push an agenda, "watch and log everyone's move or thought pattern" Why would ANY SANE company think its a good idea to put something in your software to know EVERYTHING about you and try to charge us for the junk of an idea. Recall is the WORST invention in software ever, who ever made up that idea, needs the electric chair!

@fedora tell us in a few months how your Microsoft deal goes and when you will be adding trackers and spyware in Fedora?

Dual boot CachyOS and Windows for speed and flexibility.

@itsfoss Is it me or is something weird going on?

  • Linux distributions now paying respect to Microsoft? 🤨
    Your the second Linux distribution advertising to microspy!
  • Everyone is trying to get away from microspy, now Linux distro advertising to dual boot or work alongside windows?

If Linux shakes hands with microspy then its time for another distro.

@fedora@fosstodon.org avatar fedora , to random

What distros can you run on Microsoft Azure? RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE, and even their own distro, Azure Linux (which by the way uses bits of Fedora).

Microsoft working more closely with the Fedora Project will improve their service for your organization's Linux needs.

@fedora No to the spying Microsoft part. Why would anyone want to work besides someone that turns on auto screen scraping? While i'm banking, my computer just takes screen shots and sends it to centrailized servers, while i'm checking my password manager, I'll just invite Microsoft in to spy on my every move? No! They say apparently they block your private details 🤨🤣 yeah right!

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his government is in talks to send asylum seekers who have had their application rejected in the country to “return hubs” abroad while they await deportation. Read more from @BBCNews

@NewsDesk @BBCNews
His lying. That isn't part of the agenda he has to abide to. Like all govs, you have people who can talk well but lack actions, then you get someone that lacks both. Starmer has to read from his script. Why you think before he took stage, he says all the things he wants, then gets handed his script, and has to go along with it. Like with Mr Charles, they are all owned by 👹. Just research his owners at the wef.
