But fire trucks were equipped with technology in previous years to turn traffic lights green, so those infractions don’t happen often, said chief fire prevention officer John Smith


It does happen to them as well and the article breifly addresses that.

My guess is municipal budgets. They likely have more police crusiers than they do fire trucks or ambulances. The police cruisers are also smaller than fire trucks so they may be able to navigate more intersections without needing a green light to clear some traffic.

My problem with Solarpunk is that it's an aesthetics-first movement. I appreciate solar and believe it to be necessary, I just believe that theory and practice need to form the base of any movement.

I'm aware, but Solarpunk specifically, from what I've read from the people pushing the movement, tends to lack theoretical and practical basis, closer to early utopianism than a scientific form of socialism.

Authoritarian solarpunk. But really it shows the issues of anarchism, works in small scale but is fragile when scaled. The probably most efficient government form would be a dictatorship of the wise.

That’s an interesting topic btw - what is the way for any dictatorship to work well for everyone’s benefit in theory? If it’s dictatorship of the wise, would smartest people get put into place with absolute power? Is it an expectation that people currently in power pass power voluntarily to wiser people? Would there be a framework that determines wisest people and it would be decided upon by the popular consensus? Isn’t it technically still a democracy if people trust in the framework/system that governs how smartest people are decided upon?

Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company
In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.


This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.

Jerboa 0.0.84 seems to blindly try to force-open this webpage as a PDF document, when it needs to actually open it up as a webpage for the age verification HTML script.

justice.gov/epstein/files/Data…

This link drove me nuts last night, until I stopped tapping the link in Jerboa and instead copy/pasted the link directly into Fennec web browser.

If this bug has been resolved in a newer version of Jerboa, well just let me know and I'll make a point to update later.

What is the BASH reference manual doing in the Epstein files?


Serious (if hilarious) question. Someone linked me to this, but they were unable to provide context, but it's an official justice.gov link!

I've been following the news around latest release (who hasn't) but I've not done any digging into the actual files myself. I was wondering if someone who's more familiar with them could provide some context as to why this is in there? I don't really want to wade through that filth myself, honestly, but I did try searching "BASH" but didn't really see anything that looked relevant.

Was Epstein pro FOSS? Was someone helping him troubleshoot something? WTF is this doing there!? I have to know!?

Tux has some explaining to do!

Are we asking if Epstein was linked to Mossad and the IOF? Because the answer is yes. 100% was working with them to collect blackmail on US politicians and billionaires to coerce them into maintain the status quo of Israel's unjustifiable existence in the region. He was fucking buddies with the former PM of Israel for fuck's sake.

There's a Netflix doc? I have just read articles/seen pictures/kinda feel its obvious in the face of all the evidence. Like I really refuse to believe every single pro Israel shill is in it for the love of the game. A good chunk of them are - a disturbing amount honestly - but also many of them are just making money and have to keep their mouth shut. Maybe my head canon is off base but it doesn't seem like if it is its off by much.
