Apparently the gutting of the National Science Foundation is underway at the moment. "More to come."

One can debate whether cuts are warranted, but the mindless, know-nothing fashion in which they are being carried out is inexcusable. This will damage US science for generations.
NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds.

This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.

I'm in a park in Bucharest, and the download over 5G here is slightly better than my home 1Gbps broadband, as my Wi-Fi 6 router at home is a bottleneck.

My 3-year old phone has 512 GB of storage, so I'm torrenting Ubuntu distros ofc.
