Tesla seeks to award Elon Musk $56bn pay package | BBC
It comes just days after Musk announced plans to cut more than 10% of its global workforce.
In a memo issued to staff Musk said there was nothing he hated more, "but it must be done".
I am speechless, are his employees and shareholders buying this ****?

Defending human rights and condemning war crimes is now punishable.

A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.
Back then I read an article about how M$ is crippling the ability of other office packets to read their docx and xslx formats which are supposed to be open formats, but in reality are written in a way never to be fully integrated by competing products. More information about their pseudo open standard: https://fsfe.org/activities/msooxml/msooxml.en.html
Munich in the past have used Linux PCs for quite some time until eventually switching back to windows. Back then they were citing the same incompatibilities to open and read and display M$ office files correctly. So Microsoft is definitely abusing their position as a market leader and trying to cripple competition as much as they can.

Gaza hospital bombed: Health Ministry says death toll in Gaza City hospital blast caused by Israel strike rises to at least 500
How many more civilians need to die for the Western democracies to start openly condemning Israel. This is making me so sick. And it shows the double standards that we have.
And I am tired of hearing that Israel has the right to defend themselves, this doesn't give them the right to cause humanitarian catastrophe, displace hundreds of thousands and kill a disproportionate number of people.

American woman shot dead at anti-settler protest in West Bank
And the saddest thing is that if she wasn't an American citizen this incident would have simply been briefly mentioned in the news without providing a name or a story.
You remember the food kitchen workers and how much noise there were around those killings. But the reality is since the conflict started at least 284 aid workers were killed and no one is talking about it: https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-war-palestinians-statistics-40000-7ebec13101f6d08fe10cedbf5e172dde.

TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.
Isn't the US famous for their prison for profit, where prisons are privately owned and states need to pay if there are fewer incarcerated people inside?
To me, this sounds straight from 1984.

Trump tariffs: US president announces plan to hit UK, Denmark and other European countries with tariffs over Greenland
Block their service sector from the EU market. Boycott US products. And see how they will fare. It is about time we take a firm stance and show this demented idiot, that he cannot bully us.

Why don't they start with OpenAI and other LLM vendors, because they are the biggest copyright infringement abusers of all time?

The Hyperloop was always a scam
Don't forget the "Hyperloop" in Las Vegas, which is just a tunnel where Teslas are driving people around. IMO that's the stupidest and the least efficient use of this tunnel.
The cars are not even self-driving, and mind you this is a closed system and easier to implement self-driving. So far with his self-driving copium, and robo taxis bullshit.

So instead you are cheering when civilians on the other side are being killed. Great logic. I hope you feel morally superior and can sleep better at night.

Meet generation stay-at-home: ‘You don’t need to pay to go clubbing: you can sit at home and watch it on your phone’
And this doesn't have anything to do with sky high rents, youth unemployment, low wages, etc. right? It also doesn't help that prices in the bars here after Covid grew by 20-30%. Beer used to be 3-3.5, now it is 4.5-5. Coffee shops saw similar price hikes. Groceries as well.
Seriously, being young now sucks big time. Especially if you are not one of the few who happen to have rich parents.
Here you can't get your own place unless the rent is no more than 0.33 times your own salary. And guess what, rents have been steadily increasing in the last years (decades) and less young people can rent their own places.
So they are now faced with the following dilemma, whether they should go live with roommates and spend a big chunk of their salaries still on rent or live with their parents and have a bit more disposable income at the end of the month.

I am astonished how silent the west is. Why not a single nation is required to conduct independent investigation and require accountability on Israel's side.
What happened on the 7th of October was horrible but it is not giving Israel a carte blanche to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Post office operator wrongly jailed while pregnant rejects executive’s apology | Post Office Horizon scandal | The Guardian
This whole Horizon IT scandal is so dystopian and I am to this date amazed they didn't sue the shit out of their management.
Imagine how many people were wrongly convicted just because your software was shitty and buggy. How many lives have been ruined?

Which protocol or open standard do you like or wish was more popular?
The metric system, f*ck the imperial system. Every scientist sticks to the metric system, and why are people even still having an imperial system, with outdated measurements like stones for weight blows my mind.
Also f*ck Fahrenheit, we have Celsius and Kalvin for that, we don't need another hard to convert temperature measurement.
