#DOGE also announced drastic cuts at depts that provide critical #SocialServices including #VeteransAffairs [#VA], which administers #healthcare for #veterans, & the #SocialSecurity Administration, which sends out checks to #retired, #disabled & #widowed Americans [money Americans put into the #SSA out of their own paychecks].

#OPM …has laid off >200 of its own employees & allowed >400 to *opt in* to *voluntary* exit programs since #Trump took office…

#trump is setting himself up for another contempt of court situation.

Actively threatening Americans.

Since #elonmusk and #doge were denied access to Social Security info, his administration is threatening to freeze or shut down #socialsecurity saying they don't know how to remove DOGE from social security, and don't know what the judgement means, as I guess they can't read.

One court case is justification to threaten 70 million #disabled and #retired Americans.

Elon Musk’s Genius Plan to Solve FAA Worker Shortage Is Beyond Belief

Concerns around air traffic #safety have increased dramatically following several plane crashes.

"Musk’s desperate call to bring #retired federal employees back into the fray after single-handedly undermining the security of every single #government job is inane on its face. It gets even more so when considering the actual requirements for the job..."

How Generative AI works

18th March 2025 at 3pm UK This month we look at Generative AI, including a bit of history, opening the pandoras box, how they work and how they compare. Will include a demo or two. Joining details will be emailed to subscribers nearer the time.  If you aren't a member, it's free to join here https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-computing-forum/. This is (approximately) a repeat of the talk from 12 months ago ... I thought it would be useful to re-visit since over the 12 months we've […]

we view coding as writing, and as a creative activity as well.

@gahlearner, you get it. Writing stories and writing code are aspects of the same language-based endeavor. One's coding in English, of course, but if anybody thinks that computer programming grammar is magnitudes more unforgiving... try leaving out the "n't" in "wouldn't" in a strategic place in your novel. Then tell me which is more unforgiving... When you are coding for wetware computers, word choice matters. The logic is of utmost importance. Try to convince me otherwise, if you dare! 😋

Putting the final touches to my #fediverse talk for #u3acommunities next week. Agenda includes :

* Brief history of social media
* Some of the issues popular social media has
* Fediverse architecture (#ActivityPub, #mastodon, #peertube etc) plus bridging to #bluesky & #rss
* Moderation
* Active user numbers
* What I'm doing & demo

Anything I should definitely include for this #technical but #retired audience ?

BTW It would be great to get some more #followers before the talk demo 🙂

I drew a concept art of what I think Optimus would look like without the power of the Matrix. I made his colouring grayer and duller while also removing details and adding lines to his face. I was going for making him look older, but still strong and wise.

Just met an old friend for lunch and it was lovely.

But I was driving in to where we were meeting and I thought, OMG, how far is this! It’s taking forever.

It was half the distance I used to drive to work each day. 😁 How small my world has become (by choice, might I add). #retired #happyretiree
