Ok, both shoulders hurting at the same time is bullshit.

Enbridge plans to drill, blast, and trench through hundreds of waterways that flow into the Bad River Reservation in Wisconsin.

Tribal leaders and experts warn that the plan risks irreversible harm to the Band’s internationally recognized wild rice beds and walleye spawning grounds.

This is now the universal art style for "Get a load of these bozos."

🧵 AI-assisted vulnerabilities are all the rage nowadays. We had a close call with two of them in the last few days. Here’s how our defenses held up:

The SEC "gag rule" is blatantly unconstitutional.

As financial regulators confront new tech — crypto, prediction markets, etc. — they’re sure to make mistakes. You deserve to be informed.

Hear from experts on why SCOTUS must act.

Yesterday voting rights protections were gutted. Today, states are setting up to redistrict ahead of November.

Being intentionally and consistently marginalized isn't my favorite, but credit to the voter suppression movement for having a vision, making plans and following through.

Five years ago I was routinely chastised for suggesting we give non-technical users scripts to automate or fix various things. The concern was that management didn’t think that the non-technical users would screw up running a deterministic script and break something.

Fast-forward five years and now management wants Frank in Marketing and Joe in Finance using non-deterministic tools running in third-party environment to produce working web apps of their own. Frank and Joe didn’t learn how to read code, it’s just that management has confused a chat bot for an actor with agency and understanding, even though it is not and does not.

Fuck this timeline.

We understand that this was a long wait, but we didn't want to leave it up to chance. Thank you all for your patience.

CI operations has been restored.

Hi all, sorry for the long wait.

We wanted to preemptively ensure that our servers were sufficiently shielded against https://copy.fail; we found no evidence of a compromise.

We waited for the greater community to react and provide some additional clarity on what is affected and what isn't (e.g. container engines), we carefully studied the LKML, and waited for upstreams to release official updates and guidance.

We believe these findings can be addressed publicly. The security team will open issues where approaches to implement new defensive measurements will be discussed, we believe there's no single answer and as such appreciate the opinion of other Forgejo contributors on this matter.

@marisa first of all, yes. Libraries are awesome.

Personally, I think the right hates libraries because it assists people to become educated. An educated voter base doesn't tend to vote conservative. And the moneyed class loses a bit of their edge if I get can't give their offspringing a head start with a decent education.

❝ hypervigilance, famously, destroys your mind and body.

when employers act like it's expected, it is a very strong message that they do not care about their workers. ❞

this AI-mania is the consequence of trust fund, nepobaby capitalists buying themselves CEO titles.

“hypervigilance” is the fear and paranoia kakistocrats live by; because they have no idea how to make what sustains their wealth.

#kakistocracy is not limited to government; it applies to VCs, startups & the corporate world

not to mention most of the devs i see in the field are generating their *tests* with AI, which completely defeats their purpose in catching AI errors.
