This is brilliant 🤣

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Come back to Firefox

🇧🇷 ✊🏻 🇷🇸 ✊🏻 Keep it going!

The fact that we have the instant, 24/7 ability to text, share images, or even video call our friends and loved ones more or less wherever they are on Earth for effectively free is absolutely incredible. (Not to mention directions, wikipedia, translation, a camera, and music, in our pockets 24/7.)

This is so unhinged I don't even have the words for it

i have to say in this day and age i consider any gas powered car a shitbox we had the tech a decade ago to completely remove them from the roads, and their shambolic remains clogging up our streets, polluting our air, and assaulting our eardrums should be an embarassment as a society

TIL I'm a @tailscale.com developer

"to install, just curl some shit into sh" no fuck you publish an actual package

That's about $3000 in today money.

This is an *insane* claim. Because a piece of software is open source, every user is a developer? What is going on inside the head of the person who wrote this? 🧐

As an amateur carpenter I endorse this message and I will henceforth be stealing the term factory-slop.

Please tell me no certificate issued by these clowns will ever be trusted again

Elon Musk threatens Congress.

On the bright side PHP 4 is safe 🙃

PHP slop rewritten in Rust when?

I wrote so much PHP in the late 2000s and 2010s. I even remember saying I would never trust JavaScript on the server, it was such buggy junk in the browser. Oh, how the tables have turned.

I didn’t know before creating an account on #Wsocial and getting #verified that my #data would be #publicly shown. It’s a shame that they don’t warn anyone who wants to join their #pds about that topic. Do they fear no one will #register? If so, maybe change something…

This is going to be fun

In this spirit, the DMA must be extended to social media. The European social media industry has been asking for this for the longest time. We know that we can take this market by storm if it is ever opened up to competition and freedom of movement.

WTF?

They're even on Bluesky @owls-in-towels.bsky.social

Once again we see that lobbying and grift are more effective at getting recognition than actually doing anything good or useful.

When I started writing deep dives on #WSocial and their problematic ways back in May I was a lone dissenting voice; mainstream media just rehashed PR talking points. I can't begin to tell you how GOOD it feels to see others doing probing investigations – a mini 🧵:

Folks, please stop saying that @wsocial.eu is a ghost town 👻 just in time for Halloween comes the revelation that just 18 accounts post half of everything on W social. lol #NoGhostTown

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

There is nothing in programming more cursed than dates (and JavaScript is pretty cursed which doesn't help).

The whole internet and all of social media has an editing function, except Bluesky because apparently it will destroy society.

they made an anti-american captcha...

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a pic of a boat you like (My home for 20+years 😍)

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Couple that with Starlink cutting off Ukraine and you have all the reasons you need to strive towards not relying on US technology.

Seems bad. Also, while we're trying to stop phishing, ffs please use an email address on the official `bsky.app` domain for your official email addresses instead of some sketchy domain that looks like a phishing attack itself.

this is why the AT Protocol is so important: the infrastructure of change can't be controlled by oligarchs

The SNP conference has supported a motion calling for the SNP & the Scottish government to leave the X platform owned by Elon Musk www.thenational.scot/news/2664596...

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

"We have never seen a model do this before, but GLM-5.3 sometimes reasons (unprompted) about how its current actions could become training data and impact its future self" x.com/ApolloResear... www.apolloresearch.ai/science/upda...

Fuck Meta and their interference in our democracies worldwide. (Also yes, I still have Facebook and Whatsapp accounts because it's the only way to communicate where I live 😢)

X and Meta interfering in Brazilian elections. Starlink siding with Russia. That's just this week. It's not a word I use lightly, but we are at war with the tech oligarchs whether we like it or not.

i sympathize with claude because this is an exact, pitch-perfect simulation of what it is like to text boomers

The planet

I had not been to the Eurosky homepage in a while. they have really been cooking! appview is operational, mu Studio is interesting, PLC mirror, etc
