↳ In-reply-to » @lyse There’s a couple of new users on https://tilde.club, but since this is a shared host, I doubt that they have access to their access.log files. Hence they’ll never see followers, unless we notify them out of band. 🫤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Actually, @threatcat@tilde.club popped up in my own access log first. That’s how I discovered the feed. :-) So I figured that this feed author actually sees my reply. The hope is that with the next mention of my feed in threatcat’s feed, the other tilde users, who are following threatcat, are then also informed of my existence. :-)

I don’t know how tilde.club is set up. But it should be relatively easy to give all users access to their nginx access logs. Not sure if somebody already requested that or not. But I’d encourage tilde users to ask for that. Maybe also just for twtxt.txt and/or in a custom, reduced log format.

How the Trump Administration Is Giving Even More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy
Jesse Drucker,  Investigative Tax Reporter  -  The New York Times

Stephan: The federal minimum wage for 2025 remains at $7.25 per hour. Elon Musk just got a one trillion dollar pay deal, a number so large most Americans could not even write it – $1,000,000,000,000, (one followed by 12 zeros).
_Why? Because the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) minimum has not changed since 20 … ⌘ Read more

↳ In-reply-to » You do raise very good points though, but I don't think any of this is particularly new because there are many other examples of technology and evolution of change over time where people have forgotten certain skills like for example, changing a car tyre

@prologic@twtxt.net when I first “fed” the text to Gemini, I asked for a three paragraphs summary. It provided it. Then I asked to “elaborate on three areas: user experience, moral/political impact, and technical/legal concerns”. The reply to that is too long for a twtxt.

I then asked to counter the OP opinions—as in “how would you counter the author’s opinion?”. The reply was very long, but started like this:

“That’s an excellent question, as the post lays out some very strong, well-reasoned criticisms. Countering these points requires acknowledging the valid concerns while presenting a perspective focused on mitigation, responsible integration, and the unique benefits of AI.”

What followed was extensive, so I asked for a summary, which didn’t do justice to the wall of text that preceded it.

Trump administration blocked from suspending Snap benefits for millions of Americans
Lauren Gambino ,  Political Correspondent   -  The Guardian (U.K.)

Stephan: Today, we got what may turn out to be good news about the continuation of SNAP from two courts with ethical judges. That is, if the Trump coup administration follows what the court orders. That used to be a given, but under the Trump coup, that is no longer always the case.

The Linux boot process: from power button to kernel
You press the power button. A second later a wall of text scrolls by, or a logo fades in, and eventually Linux appears. What happens in between is not magic. It is a careful handshake between tiny programs and a very literal CPU. This part follows that handshake until the very first line of C code inside the Linux kernel runs. ↫ 0xkato’s blog Exactly what it says on the tin. ⌘ Read more
