And the most cyberpunk part is all the cyborgs recording the moment.

@tripu I often donate money to charity. the most people in my country are very poor, some are far beyond the poverty level. especially old people that have their pensions not enough even for food, and people with kids. with my wage of IT specialist I'm considered "extremely rich" and I share part of my money.
Yesterday I donated 10% of my gross earnings of last year (job 1 + job 2 + stock dividends) to #AyudaEfectiva (that's the #EffectiveAltruism -aligned #charity in my home country of 🇪🇸 #Spain).
As always, I'm very happy to do that. I feel it's “the least I can do”.

#AsteriskMagazine on #AI!
[According to a superforecaster](https://asteriskmag.com/issues/03/ai-isn-t-coming-for-tech-jobs-yet), #LLMs will cause “5.5% job **growth** in 2025” (the picture is less clear in 2030 — even for him).
> _“We will develop ‘transformative AI’ able to do anything humans can do **sometime between 10 and 40 years from now**. These forecasts aren’t very good, but unless you have more expertise than the experts, are more super than the superforecasters, or have a more detailed model than the modelers, your attempt to invent a different number on the spot to compensate for their supposed biases will be even worse.”_

What's also very cool about Midjourney's new zoom-out feature is that you can zoom out AND change the aspect ratio!

Sometimes there is progress:
> _“It’s men, not women, who are now underrepresented in universities. Women in the United States have earned more bachelor’s degrees than men every year since the mid-1980s. Last fall, #women made up 59.2% of all those enrolled in a college or #university, and men made up only 40.8%. Women are also outperforming their male peers earning higher GPAs in high school and college, even in the male-dominated STEM fields. […] Efforts to help women in college are no longer necessary and are unfair to men. […] These initiatives [are] apparently illegal under Title IX. #TitleIX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. […] For the same reasons that universities can’t offer sports to #men only, they can’t offer awards solely to women.”_

Is there a decent comparison out there?
I don't have the skills nor the time to program microcontrollers or compile my own kernel — I'm looking for a reasonably good alternative to all the proprietary HW and SW out there; and ideally one that doesn't lock me out of all the popular apps altogether…
