and yet paradoxically the only thing keep us out of recession :\

when you think back to how easily the entire global economy exploded in 2008... the last 18months makes zero fucking sense.

    for devs (ie the only part of the bubble that is seeing any significant usage), qwen 3.8 and deepseek are fine for %95 of use cases.

    there are a bazillion providers that will sell you tokens for peanuts. mix that in with self hosting where you have the resources to do so (its docker containers and a bit or orchestration not rocket science) and we will just see the market normalise to something closer to web hosting.

    ...and windows monkey IT departments will just buy whatever microsoft is selling.

    that future is not worth 1/1000th of whatever todays AI hype cycle is getting shoved down our throats.

    know what you mean, i grew up in small town and never heard an ill word towards jews until south park started and kids started copying.

    agree that indigenous, muslim and african communities cop it far worse day to day.

    but yes we do have a problem... 15 people got slaughtered just over a year ago.

    picking this nutter for that role has probs been the greatest self own of the albo gov.

    feel bad for australian jewish community, we do have a very real problem with anti-Semitism, but it's been entirely weaponised for Israel fandom and recycled american culture war brain worms.

    the growth in ad spend is publishers trying to buy back their organic traffic that google is pilfering.

    that's obviously not a sustainable position, just everyone panicking and trying to pump the numbers while they look for new business model and/or job.

    this kinda broke last week...

    https://www.itnews.com.au/news/australian-gov-media-networks-reached-by-israeli-firms-spy-ads-629705 https://citizenlab.ca/research/how-discover-tech-turned-targeted-ads-into-a-pipeline-for-spyware/

    conspiracy theory me is wondering why it took 4~5 days to turn up on the abc and why the rest of the media is ignoring it...

    in a week where the talking heads cant stfu about paying tax with a credit card bs... "israel hacked ansto" is a pretty killer fucking headline.

    looks like a few more slum lord apartments coming onto the market at a good discount... but more then a few are real buyer beware stuff.

    if i can keep gainfully employed, we might be able to buy next year 🤞

    have not rtfa

    maybe a simple referral system?

    its going to make devs with connections a mega hot commodity $$$

    edit: a future where sys admins get $$$ for know how to patch a kernel? more likely a future where we are stuck with shitty vendor vibe coded forked kernels with -1 chance of up streaming 🫠
