Trump should try declaring war bankruptcy to get out of this jam.

The complicity of universities cannot be understated...

The few of us fighting back aren't enough.

@Em0nM4stodon @GhostOnTheHalfShell And while we’re at it, isn’t prudish about processing payments for adult-oriented businesses.

We need a solution to process international payments that isn't an American fintech company or cryptocurrency and is privacy-respectful like yesterday.

Please 🙏

if you're using AI regularly to generate text/presentations that you intend to use persuasively i don't think i can trust a single thing you say. Where does the AI end and the human begin?

I think this is why im so against AI generated commit messages especially if the code was written by a human, you wrote the code so you should be able to demonstrate that you understand what the change does and why.

If you're deferring that to an AI and you made a subtle logic error that it decides to justify for you suddenly we have obfuscated our own fucking zero days. Good luck finding the bug if the commit message describes the error as if it was intentional.

For general text, if you start with the conclusion and let the AI write the justification then there is no justification!!! Details matter, having a paper trail for decision making matters.

I wonder how many executives will escape the consequences of their white collar crimes by blaming AI.

AI zombification is coming and it's going to create a distinct difference in communication styles between those who do and don't use it, honestly that point is already here.

And we're gonna find out yet again that marx was right when it becomes clear that AI usage correlates with class lines.

how to make programming terrible for everyone

I am thankful that I do not need to say „thankyou“ to #Bluesky, the company and its investors for the verification of accounts or to ask them for changes in their configuration so that my social media platform is working.

It shows how dependent #Eurosky and #ATProto still is on Bluesky. They are at the mercy of them. And I do not trust Eurosky to be ever free and fully independent, even if I really want to believe in it.

Please change my mind, but for now I keep on building on ActivityPub.

Yael's post demonstrates something about digital privacy/security that I think a lot of people miss: there is no right answer, just a series of trade-offs. And every person has to make their own decisions avout which trade-offs are worthwhile. https://blog.yaelwrites.com/options-for-phones-at-protests/

Man, LLMs really drive home the lesson that people differ *greatly* in how much the care whether the statements they make are true.

A new bill from Sen. Wyden and Rep. Balint would give real teeth to an important federal law meant to protect journalists from searches and raids.

We’re proud to endorse this update to the Privacy Protection Act.

“I’m running for US Senate. If elected, the first bill I introduce will draft Lindsey Graham into any conflict he publicly supports while in office,” Tom Jandron wrote in a post on the social platform X on Wednesday.

What if there was an Erasmus programme for people who just entered retirement?
The #EU funds #RailTravel passes for 18 year olds with the #discoverEU programme, what if it did something similar for people entering retirement?
Or, what if there was a pendant to the #EuropeanSolidarityCorps organised by municipalities that brought older people from twin cities together in projects?

Probably my favourite idea that ever came out of one of our workshops 💜

We’re all about to have more opportunities to exercise our first amendment rights with every greenback we touch. How exciting to have all of these new first amendment opportunities!
