Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

Why does @johnfetterman@bird.makeup want more dead Americans and Iranians? Why did he vote against ending an illegal, undeclared war that is gutting the economy and killing thousands?

My senator owes me some fucking answers.

So... when WordPress 7.0 gets released it's apparently going to have AI integrated into everything. I have no idea what I'm going to do with Eviscerati.Org - hopefully WP7 has some way to disable the AI, but the way things are going these days it doesn't seem like it. Anyone know if I have any simple migration options? I'm very tired of migrating my site, but I guess I need to at least think about it.

Where are the thinkpieces on C-Suite automation with AI?

I'd hope it's occurred to at least someone at GitLab that if we hand over software development to machines, the fantasy of control over that process will be short lived.

Further, it risks a future where we will not be able to read software written by 'AI', soon enough needing abstraction layers & interpreters to understand it. Human-legibility in code will be a bottle-neck.

Our computed languages, built to be read & written by people, could become increasingly irrelevant under this capture.

Get ready, NYC.
Our bagels, pizza, and bread are about to change, because a new law is set to make a ubiquitous ingredient illegal! I wrote about it on Boing Boing...

Did you know: #Forgejo always announces security updates in advance (usually at least one week beforehand) to give you time to prepare and be ready when the release is published.

Announcements are made via this tracker: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/security-announcements/issues. You can "watch" the repo or subscribe to the RSS feed to stay informed.

The corrupt Roberts Court isn't even pretending to hide its racism and partisan goals. In-your-face hypocrisy and lies are the means to the corrupt court's rancid ends.

I put in 25+ years of "REPUBLICANS SUCK!," and 10+ of "THIS ONE GUY IN PARTICULAR REALLY SUCKS!," so unless you hear otherwise, assume I disapprove of today's evil shit.

Announcing a Community Call with Kollicloud and CooperativeCloud.tech

While many people think their only option is to depend on BigTech for collaborative workspaces and communication tooling, there are in fact many alternatives.

Apps for filesharing, calendering, contacts and for email. Or apps to work in agile mode, to run your projects with powerful Kanban boards for decentralised teams. Instant messaging and chat that are decentralised, so people can connect with one app to all their diverse organisations and communities they belong to.

Tech based in solidarity, commoning, security and privacy, instead of extractivism, monopolies, distopian futures, injustice and surveillance.

@nest If you ask a person what they think AI is good at you will get a very honest listing of everything the person is bad at.

As previously reported, among the candidates for the Swedish elections in September, my party The Left has the largest number of librarians, and the fascists have none.

Today we learn that the Left leads in museum, archive and heritage professionals too. But that the fascists actually have close to the median number of candidates from these professions.

Liebe FOSS-Community, die angespannte Lage in der IT-Wirtschaft führt dazu, dass viele unserer Partner dieses Jahr keinen Stand buchen. In Folge fehlt uns Budget für die Konferenz, u.a. für Veranstaltungstechnik, Messewände, Vortragsstreaming, Kinder- und Jugendprogramm, Helfer:innen-Verpflegung, Transportkosten, Versicherungen

Wir suchen insbesondere Konferenzpartner und auch noch einen Kaffeepartner 😭

Hilf uns die FrOSCon am Leben zu erhalten: https://froscon.org/en/cfp/cfpartners/
