"Canada rejected her permanent residence application. Her job duties were made up — by Immigration’s AI reviewer"

Added wiring and assembling control to expected job duties... She's a doctoral researcher in the immunology of aging.

I'm really hoping that this sets a legal precedence for the standard of the duty of care that the government is held to when using technology that does not care for reality.

I didn't realize the facebook execs Mozilla acqui-hired last year have been promoted! I was assuming they were still just heading the ads division of Mozilla, but oh boy, I fucking wish.

Now the former Senior VP of Marketing of facebook (2008-2022, the finest years of facebook) is the CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER of the entire Mozilla.

And the former VP of Ads in Facebook (2012-2022), is now the Senior VP of Product of Mozilla.

Let me repeat this:

The guy who used to lead the facebook team that was literally "advertising to teenagers based on their emotional state" is now the guy who decides the direction of Firefox as a product. But hey, let's keep giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt uh? I'm sure these people-who-should-be-on-trial-in-the-hague are going to do great things for the community!

still shaking my head over the mozilla leadership page. It is more, shall we say, "extensive" than I would have every imagined possible. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/leadership/ I mean, holy wow. Search the page for "VP" and you get 21 hits, there are 8 "chief" and 5 "managing" and 6 "executive."

It’s difficult to listen to people say outrageous things.

We donated €440 to @forgejo 🥳

Hi @forgejo! Thanks for the amazing project! We are a small'ish hosting cooperative from Denmark, and we provide services for our members. Everything is built on Open Source, and we decided last year to pay 10% of our revenue to Open Source projects and let our general assembly decide which project to support.

I am so right

We are grateful to the @protonprivacy community for supporting @torproject with a donation this year. Donations to Tor and many other digital rights organizations are the result of Proton's Lifetime Charity Fundraiser organized by the Proton Foundation. Everyone deserves privacy online.

“Most dangerously, ICL is the sole supplier of white phosphorus to the US military, internationally-banned munitions used by the occupation army in Gaza and Lebanon to burn homes, bodies, and agricultural lands.

ICL Group is the largest chemicals company in Israel. It was owned by the Israeli government until the 1990s, and holds exclusive rights to extract Palestinian resources from the Dead Sea until 2030, as the sea’s water levels continue to decline at an alarming pace.

The phosphate extracted at Rotem is exported to several ICL-linked facilities abroad, including in the US. It is a supplier of white phosphorus – used by Israeli forces against civilians in Lebanon and Gaza – to the US military.”

The Atlantic used to be headquartered in Boston. They moved 'cause they couldn't publish centrist crap up here without their poor cousins spitting in their food.

"They have no interest in journalism," Kara Swisher said, "I'm not working for you hacks."

Paramount will tank CNN to appease Trump just like it did CBS. Its shareholders should be objecting loudly to further public humiliation and devaluation.

'There's a much more important difference between clanker and human. A human is a bottleneck. A human cannot shit out 20,000 lines of code in a few hours. Even if the human creates such booboos at high frequency, there's only so many booboos the human can introduce in a codebase per day. The booboos will compound at a very slow rate. Usually, if the booboo pain gets too big, the human, who hates pain, will spend some time fixing up the booboos. Or the human gets fired and someone else fixes up the booboos. So the pain goes away.

With an orchestrated army of agents, there is no bottleneck, no human pain. These tiny little harmless booboos suddenly compound at a rate that's unsustainable. You have removed yourself from the loop, so you don't even know that all the innocent booboos have formed a monster of a codebase. You only feel the pain when it's too late.'
