The book by Michael Hudson. Is it full of typos or did I just get a bad PDF?

In short:

Staff at Australian Community Media, owner of the Canberra Times, say the rollout of generative artificial intelligence to assist their journalism has been problematic.

Staff say AI has misattributed quotes, wrongly identified people within headlines, and provided misleading media law advice.

What's next?

The ABC has found no evidence that any factual errors, reportedly made by the technology, have ever been published.

Hi all, I have setup dual boot as there are two (really it’s one by now) things that I occasionally use Windows for. One is reinstalling Windows for family and friends (Window’s installation assistant only runs on Windows) , and the other thing is Minecraft Bedrock Edition (to play Minecraft with my little brother, who plays on a tablet. Microsoft is intentionally limiting their Bedrock version to their OS only, which is stupid)

The dual boot works fine, I installed Fedora after Windows and there weren’t many errors. However, even with most of my apps uninstalled, Windows still took up about 200GB of space (what the hell??? That’s almost the size of what Fedora takes with all my editors, IDEs, browser, photos, documents, etc.!)

After running disk cleanup and removing nearly all non-necessary apps (so it’s just the default browser and not much else aside from Minecraft, which takes up 2GB), Windows still takes up over 100GB of space. I have also disabled hibernate as well as removed all residual files from some apps that didn’t fully uninstall themselves.

How do I cut down on the storage that Windows takes up? It’s kind of ridiculous. My only real purpose for the Windows partition is to play Minecraft with my little brother, so what else can I remove to reduce this bloated mess of an operating system?

note: I am not going to bother with VMs since I’ve already set up dual boot (and troubleshooted some annoying disk errors that Windows produced)

edit: I have removed all the “optional features” as well as removed the awdcleaner folder (which is a malwarebytes thing) as well as the esupport folder (which has copies of drivers I think). I have also removed a few more files here and there (appdara and programdata mostly) and now my windows partition is around 87GB. I have also deleted old restore points, which helps to reduce a few GB too. It seems that this is just about the minimum you can get Windows (apparently it typically takes up 60-90GB)

This proof is trivial if you’ve read enough theory.

Proof. a := Dialectal materialism, b := badposts not badpostingly enough. a ⊢ b. QED.

Tensions between Israel and Turkey have grown over Syria and the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is seen by the Israeli government as too close to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Hamas itself. But the exclusion of Turkey from the stabilisation force would be controversial since it is one of the guarantors of the Trump 20-point ceasefire agreement, and is seen as one of the most capable Muslim armed forces.

The force is still likely to be led by Egypt.

A joint statement published on the Hamas website said the groups had agreed in a meeting in Cairo to hand “over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a temporary Palestinian committee composed of independent ‘technocrats’, which will manage the affairs of life and basic services in cooperation with Arab brothers and international institutions”.

The statement also called for a meeting to “agree on a national strategy and to revitalise the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people”. Hamas is not part of the PLO, which is dominated by its longtime rival Fatah.

It comes as the wife of the Palestinians’ most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, appealed on Friday to Donald Trump to intervene for her husband’s release from an Israeli jail, after the US President said he would “make a decision” on the matter.

Because it's bad. Lile real bad

Really interesting talk about how main stream environmentalism is pushed by liberal capitalists and how many leftists have been tricked into supporting green washed fascism.

A thought occurred to me that the early days of the internet had a lot of stuff like this. Illustration, music, animation, comics, etc.

Are there places like this these days that I'm not aware of?
