What. The. Fuck. ?? It's bad enough that EU is reneging on major parts of the European Green Deal and buying big tech bullshit about AI wholesale, but this is another level. www.theguardian.com/technology/2026…

Microsoft and other US tech companies successfully lobbied the EU to hide the environmental toll of their datacentres, an investigation has found, with demands to block a database of green metrics from public view written almost word for word into EU rules.

The secrecy provision, which the European Commission added to its proposal almost verbatim after industry lobbying in 2024, hinders scrutiny of the pollution that individual datacentres emit. It leaves researchers with just national-level summaries of their energy footprints.

Karin Pettersson i Aftonbladet kultur:

Vem tjänar på det rådande läget, på vissa valresultat, på kaos eller ordning?

Frågan är central för att förstå politiska skeenden. Förra veckan kom exempelvis beskedet att Annie Lööf föreslås som ny styrelseledamot för Academedia, Sveriges största friskoleföretag. Centerpartiet är ett av de partier som blockerat alla förändringar som syftar till att begränsa eller förbjuda vinst i skolan för att öka likvärdigheten.

Poängen är att det inte går att förstå exempelvis Centerpartiets agerande i regeringsfrågan utan att ta i beaktande de djupa banden mellan välfärdsföretagen och politiken.

Follow the money, helt enkelt.

SD: Ali hör inte hemma i Sverige, pga hans skulder och att han bott med en gängkriminell. Men när det kom fram att Jimmie Åkesson spelat bort en halv miljon på ett år på nätcasinon var det en ”privatsak” och han bjöd gängkriminella på sitt bröllop. Svenska medier har misslyckats så otroligt.

A B&W photo of a person standing next to a stack of printed paper as high as the top of their head. This is Margaret Hamilton, at work as a Software Engineer and the leader of a team of extremely specialised programmers who worked for NASA. The photo was taken in 1969, and it shows a physical form if her work since she joined the Apollo project in 1965 (she joined at the age of 29 by my calculation). My interpretation of the expression on her face is a mix of pride and mild amusement. She has glasses, long, straight hair, and neat office attire. Margaret Hamilton has her hands placed gently on the stack of printouts to keep it all balanced upright. The pages appear to be arranged in bundles, ranging from 8-10 centimetres thick, to 20cm thick or more. The resulting stack of printouts is physically impressive for being an unusual feat, and it represents something even more impressive: it's the printed form of the source-code she and the team she led wrote for the NASA Apollo project. Their software ran on the Apollo Guidance Computer that was that on board each Apollo command module and Apollo Lunar Module. The Apollo Guidance Computer onboard the Eagle was an essential flight instrument for Neil Armstrong when he piloted the craft to land on the surface of the moon.
