More than 60% of those surveyed said they posted fake jobs “to make employees believe their workload would be alleviated by new workers.” 62% of companies said another reason for the shady practice is to “have employees feel replaceable.” #Work #WorkLifebalance #Hiring #Jobs https://qz.com/companies-posting-fake-job-listings-resume-builder-1851556777?utm_content=1851558179&utm_source=email&utm_medium=Quartz_At_Work
@dcz Would it help if repository names would support more characters, while profile and org names would not?
This might be actually worth a consideration.
In recent years, there have been a lot of attacks by using lookalike unicode characters, so although technically feasible, many fear to accept non-ASCII characters.
But since repositories of the same author already induce a certain trust, it might be worth taking that one step.
Happy to start the conversation about this in#Forgejo.

@ludicity You're right, I'm sorry. My nerdiness is more around crochet, origami and graphic novels. But may I entertain you with my rage cartoon on "AI"? It's the least I can do after the laughs I got from your article https://buttondown.email/juliarodraws/archive/on-rage-sparking-bullshit/

An AI thing I'm watching play out at another org:
1: Expert A, with a deep understanding of a nuanced and difficult problem answers a question they've been given, presenting several choices.
2: Director B, recipient, uses an AI to summarize it and then runs it up to leadership saying, "A says this." That generated summary is subtly and very wrong.
3: A is now being held responsible for plans made based on B's AI-generated and very wrong rewriting of his recommendations.
Fun times.
For the first time in the Espionage Act's more-than-100-year history, the U.S. has obtained an Espionage Act conviction for basic journalistic acts, EFF’s @davidgreene told the @nytimes of Julian Assange’s plea deal. “These charges should never have been brought.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/24/us/politics/julian-assange-plea-deal.html
Worst part of updating my talk: looking up how fucking many more Starlink satellites there were than last time I gave a version of this talk. 200 more than a month ago. Fuck.
There are now 6,209 Starlinks in orbit, fully 62% of the 10,009 active satellites in orbit.
All of these "fully demisable" Starlinks are planned to burn up and deposit their metal in Earth's atmosphere. I just saw multiple 100-pound pieces of another SpaceX "fully demisable" rocket, so I'm sure it'll be just fine.
Those supposedly libertarian cryptocurrency boys are going with Trump. Of course they are.

The hypocrisy is a given. But in one key way it's a natural match, given all the sleaze in the sector and Trump's endless corruption.
Hong Kong's government is controlled by Beijing. It has adopted the dictatorship's paranoia, and is systematically erasing human rights.
The rulers are now ordering citizens to smile more to bring back tourism. This is not a joke.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/hong-kong-tells-residents-smile-103335063.html?guccounter=2
I've been to HK many times over the years, and can assure you that the residents' occasional rudeness is not the reason I'm unlikely to return.
When Beijing stops abusing their rights, I'll be back.

Hot take: we're too attached to the #Latin script. It's a historical accident that I can't call my #Git repo "привет" on a code #forge , and it's pushing a cool part the native cultures of billions of humans to the margin. Git itself can do it no problem!
And why should Дима switch to Latin for naming project if John doesn't switch to #кириллица anyway?

It's not just about 20, or 50 or 70 trees, as gorgeous as they are and for all they do. It's that Enbridge needs to normalize its ability to trample on local and state rights, to condition us to believe they can get away with anything they want, even to dismiss proper legal procedure by waving what they see as the almighty federal gas act around. But the gas act, sweeping as it is, doesn't grant Enbridge the right to circumvent process. Now is the time to call them on it. They have no defense.
A People's Guide to Abolition and Disability Justice is “an essential movement tool. Tastrom convincingly shows that police and prison abolition and disability justice are core strategies for liberation and that we can't win one without the other.”

"Also, our president now, William Ruto, is one of 6 guys who were sent to stand trial at the ICC for crimes committed during the political violence of 2007-2008, but his case was dismissed in 2016. His lawyer, Karim Khan, became the ICC prosecutor in 2021, and I think the convenience around all this is just too stark. It looks to me as though, in exchange for what was a good deal for him, Ruto agreed to serve the Western agenda and...pledged 1000 Kenyan police to Haiti."
