The DOJ's subpoenas of The Wall Street Journal are a direct threat to the public’s right to know, and the Journal is correct to fight them.

Hello #Fediverse,

I'm looking for privacy-friendly and secure #job boards in Europe 👀

Alternatives to platforms like #LinkedIn, #Xing, or #StepStone that respect user data and avoid excessive #tracking?

Any recommendations for #GDPR-friendly, EU-hosted services? 🙏

Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences to share?

Will AI & its associated technologies turn everyone into gig workers, with performance heavily monitored & dynamic pricing imposed on wages tonsure 'efficiency' for their employers? Indeed, perhaps for many this world is already upon us.... If AI doesn't take your job, its going to take your (relative) autonomy!

There is no good news here for most of us, just more control & exploitation of one sort or another...

I like the Registers headline: "Anthropic’s bug-hunting Mythos was greatest marketing stunt ever, says cURL creator"

... even though I did not say that. 😂

So sorry to everyone I owe replies to … the move was far harder on me than I anticipated. A number of items need to be completely thrown out which is a huge unexpected expense… and only about half my stuff actually got moved in the time we had.

Needless to say I’m having to accept that my baseline is shattered and it might be a bit longer than usual before I can be writing again.

Nothing good comes from pushing our bodies past what they can do, so I’m focusing on rest and finishing this move.

Honestly I wish there was secure and affordable housing for disabled people for life. Being forced to move when you can’t even get out of bed is one of the most stressful things you can be put through … and it Happens to way too many of us.

I fully plan to write an article on housing instability and discrimination against disabled people once I’m back to baseline !

In the meantime I need suggestions for cheap but safe online retailers where I can replace clothes. Due to a severe mold problem in old apartment almost everything has to be tossed. With my severe MCAS I can’t wear a lot of fabrics so if anyone knows of a unicorn store please let me know (my go to Canadian brand has become too expensive for me)

@mayintoronto one of the things that amazes me the most is that they're spending billions of dollars on equipment to multiply trillions of matrices per second just to produce software that's bad at math

Looking at this: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/594972/new-poll-coalition-partners-tumble-but-could-still-form-government why, oh why, doesn't RNZ point out that Curia Polls, run by David Farrar, long time neoliberal champion and Atlas Network friend, have avoided signing on to the guidelines for fairness & transparency in polling which *most* of the other pollsters subscribe to? (see https://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/1707/Political_Polling_Code_2014.pdf ) Here's a report on how Curia Polls operates 'outside the industry body entirely': https://www.elocal.co.nz/Article/7710

Redditors have caught Google secretly updating its Chrome terms of service to remove a line that guaranteed that local AI models won't send data to Google servers.

That's now gone, meaning your local AI sends data to Google, so it's not that local.

Instructure says it paid a ransom. SMH

"STATUS UPDATE 5/11/26

We know that concerns about the potential publication of data related to this incident remain top of mind for many customers. We understand how unsettling situations like this can be, and protecting our community remains our top priority."

"With that responsibility in mind, Instructure reached an agreement with the unauthorized actor involved in this incident. As part of that agreement:"

"The data was returned to us.
We received digital confirmation of data destruction (shred logs).
We have been informed that no Instructure customers will be extorted as a result of this incident, publicly or otherwise."

'This agreement covers all impacted Instructure customers, and there is no need for individual customers to attempt to engage with the unauthorized actor.
While there is never complete certainty when dealing with cyber criminals, we believe it was important to take every step within our control to give customers additional peace of mind, to the extent possible. We continue to work with expert vendors to support our forensic analysis, further harden our environment, and conduct a comprehensive review of the data involved. We will continue to provide updates as that work progresses."

This piece barely begins to describe the unprecedentedly deep and broad corruption permeating the criminals (families/cronies/etc) who run the US government. Yet it provides far better context than most of what we've seen from Big Journalism on the subject.

NEW: SCOTUS majority gives Alabama GOP a chance to use a map already found to be unconstitutional.

Justice Sotomayor, for the three Dem appointees, noted in dissent that the majority acted "without regard for the confusion that will surely ensue." The primary election was to be held May 19.

The Roberts court is, above all else, racist. They don’t like the reconstruction amendments and they don’t like the laws that enforced them. There is no legal, constitutional or separation of powers principle here. It’s just racism. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/heres-why-weve-been-keeping-an-eye?r=5n3e&utm_medium=post+viewer
