Eyes on ICE: For Those About to Rock

Call it another "Public Service Advisory", this time for those about to hit the streets.

Put This One On Speed Dial

META is apparently blocking references to any sites tracking ICE activity, so I'm putting a link to a website that two freshman in Sid Richardson College of Rice University (Houston, TX) put together —www.icemap.devI hope you never need it, but being prepared is the wisest path...#USRegimeChangeNOW#TrumpEtAliaDelendusEst#SayTheNamesReneeGoodAlexPretti#07January20250is4May1970

"In 2025, four #nuclear reactors with a capacity of 4.4 GW were connected to the grid in 2025, while seven reactors with a capacity of 2.8 GW were decommissioned. This means that global nuclear power capacity increased by only 1.6 GW last year.

At the same time over _650 GW_ of new #SolarEnergy capacity was installed. That is more than 400 times as much."

Do you miss being super excited about contemporary music? I do. That's why I founded kew. kew is a music player for Linux (and macOS/FreeBSD/Android).

I strongly believe that buying and owning music is much better for music (and for you) than renting it.

kew is fully private, offline and open source. It does not have ads or algorithmic manipulation.

It has gapless playback and shows covers.

You can check out kew here:

Tijd om de linkse hobby's zoals kunst, poëzie en schoonheid nieuw leven in te blazen. Doen jullie mee?

Vandaag #thefuture #leonardcohen

it's lonely here there's noone left to torture
give me absolute control
over every living soul
and lie beside me baby that's an order

give me crack and careless sex
take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole in your culture

give me back the berlin wall
give me stalin and saint paul
I've seen the future brother, it is murder

Technology in 2050 – experts give their predictions – BBC

The 2000 film Minority Report, set in 2054, imagined potential future technologies like controlling computers by making hand gestures

AI teachers and cybernetics – what could the world look like in 2050?

By Laura Cress, Technology reporter, 3 days ago

The last 25 years has seen some mind-bending technological changes.

At the start of the century, most computers connected to the internet with noisy dial-up connections, Netflix was an online DVD rental company, and the vast majority of people hadn’t even heard of a smartphone.

Fast forward two and a half decades, and innovations in AI, robotics and much else besides are emerging at an incredible rate.

So we decided to ask experts what the next 25 years could bring.

Here are their predictions for the technology we’ll be using by 2050 – and how it could reshape our lives.

Merging humans and machines

Science fiction set in the 2050s is full of examples of humans using technological enhancements to feel fitter, happier and more productive.

In the 2000 hit game Deus Ex – set in 2052 – the player can inject themselves with tiny robots called “nanites”.

These microscopic robots manipulate matter on atomic levels, giving superhuman abilities such as enhanced speed and the ability to see in the dark.

In the video game Deus Ex, the protagonist – who enhances his abilities with augmentations – investigates a global conspiracy involving a terrorist group and secret societies

It sounds like something from the distant future, but nanotechnology – engineering at a scale of millionths of a millimetre – is already used in lots of everyday real-life tech.

In fact, it is powering the way you are reading these very words right now – every smartphone or computer is run by a central chip made up of billions of tiny transistors – electrical components built on a nanoscale to speed up data processing.

Professor Steven Bramwell at the London Centre for Nanotechnology told the BBC by 2050 we should expect the lines between machines, electronics and biology to be “significantly blurred”.

That means we could see nanotechnology implants by then – but more to “monitor your health or aid communication” rather than to appear invisible, as in Deus Ex.

Medicine could also make common use of machines at a nanometre scale to “deliver drugs to exactly where they need to go”, said Professor Bramwell.

Cybernetics professor Kevin Warwick is equally interested in studying augmentations, going one step further than most.

In 1998 he became the first human to have a microchip implanted into his nervous system, earning him the title “Captain Cyborg”.

Professor Warwick believes by 2050, advancements in cybernetics -the science studying the links between natural and mechanical systems – could lead to trailblazing treatments for diseases.
