(IBM) from 1982 to 1994, with his final position being director of North American fulfillment. He was subsequently chief operating officer of the reseller division at the computer retailer Intelligent Electronics, Inc.

Cook joined Apple shortly thereafter in 1998 as senior vice president of worldwide operations. [01:58] schestowitz[TR2] The person IBM needs to reel in is Lisa Su AMD CEO. She is ex IBM and was Gerstner's TA technical assistant for a year. Absolutely brilliant. Education: Graduated from the Bronx High School of Science, then earned her bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). [01:58] schestowitz[TR2] 3 degrees from EE-Physics MIT!!! If you have never been MIT phew...Like Star Trek + Disneyworld + Tesla + NVIDIA etc etc. People there are scary smart. [01:58] schestowitz[TR2] When she joined AMD the stock was at $1.61. Current price is $470. That is a 29,000% increase!!!

    [15:17] schestowitz[TR2]

    The Ventuno Q was first shown in March this year and is based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 IQ-8275, which integrates an eight-core Qualcomm Kryo CPU, an Adreno 623 GPU, a Spectra 692 image signal processor, and a Hexagon NPU rated for up to 40 dense TOPS of AI acceleration.

[19:14] schestowitz[TR2] The tech parks shine like diamonds, all glass and glossy chrome, [19:14] schestowitz[TR2] But the footpath right outside them looks like a landfills home.

[19:14] schestowitz[TR2] The Silk Board junction stalls us, a parking lot of pride, [19:14] schestowitz[TR2] Where the air is thick with diesel and a hundred things beside.

[22:15] schestowitz[TR2] As for the more extreme accusations, it's prudent to exercise caution and not to take them at face value. There are some pointers from e.g. [22:15] schestowitz[TR2] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Autistici/Inventati&oldid=1372656167 [22:15] schestowitz[TR2] Best, [22:15] schestowitz[TR2] Federico [22:15] schestowitz[TR2] " [22:15] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-Connection timed out after 10002 milliseconds ( status 0 @ https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2026-09/msg00002.html ) [22:15] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-cavallette.noblogs.org | cavallette Blog Archive Autistici Debian [22:15] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-en.wikipedia.org | Autistici/Inventati - Wikipedia [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] "Dear caro Federico, [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] How that US-sanctioned organization in Italy uses tools like free software is not a defense to specific US allegations that the group became a key node to terrorist organizations for planning and claiming responsibility for violent acts. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] I don't think Libreplanet mailing list is for that type of radical politics. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] What happened to them could have happened to any self-hosting group (if they just happened to host the blog of someone critical of the USA administration). [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] You wrote that "what happened to them could have happened to any self-hosting group (if they just happened to host the blog of someone critical of the USA administration)." [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] That is a dishonest framing, and I suspect you know it. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] The U.S. State Department did not sanction A/I for hosting a blog. They sanctioned A/I because, according to their public designation, the collective: [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] 1. Manually vets users for ideological affinity meaning they do not operate as a neutral platform, but as a curated service for a specific political fringe. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] 2. Provides infrastructure "specifically designed" for militant networks to evade law enforcement. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] 3. Is directly linked to groups that have claimed responsibility for bombings, railway sabotage, and attacks on power grids. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] You can disagree with the U.S. government. You can question the evidence. You can argue the sanctions are overreach. But you cannot honestly reduce this to "hosting a blog critical of the USA." That is not what happened, and pretending otherwise is either ignorance or deliberate misdirection. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] This mailing list is for free software. It is not a platform to defend organizations accused of facilitating violence by selectively omitting the most serious allegations against them. If you want to advocate for A/I, take it elsewhere. If you want to discuss whether U.S. sanctions threaten free software projects generally, that is a conversation worth having but it requires intellectual honesty about what is actually being all [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] eged. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] A/Is business model of providing tools to radical groups that claim violent attacks would be in direct violation of the AUPs of virtually all mainstream, commercial hosting providers. [22:16] schestowitz[TR2] Yes, surely people can use free software for any purpose, that doesn't mean we should support those who give terrorists platform to be safe from criminal investigation. "
