I will never take executive's excuses for why they need to do layoffs to keep costs under control until the executives lower their own compensation below $1MM

Am Sonntag, 1. Februar, ist zum 2. Mal "Digital Independence Day": die Idee, sich jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat von einem Big-Tech-Angebot in Richtung dezentraler Open-Source-Alternativen zu verabschieden.

Warum das nicht nur zur Stärkung von digitaler Souveränität in Zeiten von Trump, Musk & Co sinnvoll, sondern auch eine Antwort auf die »Enshittification« von Big-Tech-Plattformen ist, darum dreht sich die neue Folge von "Märkte, Macht & Mythen" für @moment_magazin : https://youtu.be/By3Q-aYNLS0

Rabbi Dayna Ruttenberg wrote this last year, but I think it is evergreen.

If the horrors feel overwhelming right now and you're wondering how to help without burning yourself out to a cinder, here is a checklist:

@idzie Please do this. It sounds amazing! And a great way to practice stepping out!

Minnesota Dems are trying to elect as governor, the County Attorney that refused to charge Derek Chauvin for his entire career of brutality against Black Minnesotans, and refused to charge almost every cop in the police department that is on the most racist 1% of police departments in North America?

Then if Black Minnesotans don't turn out to vote for her in record numbers, a bunch of white people are going to jump on BlueSky and Twitter and Mastodon and Facebook to curse out Black people, and express their homicidal fantasies about how Black men and Somali immigrants now deserve whatever is about to happen to them.

Grok becoming our alien ambassador was certainly not on my bingo card.

Ha! We waited and had searches done for the permit. After 4 months of this we cancelled the work request, because the permit office could not find the permit. We got a refund of our deposit. We called another person to do the job. Two weeks later he has the permit and will do the job the middle of next week. Bingo! We probably should not have been so patient, but people should probably have told us the truth of the matter sooner than they did. Ultimately we have a better price for the job. And we have learned how to conserve water and may even be in the habit.

@felis ich bin ziemlich zufrieden, antrieb könnte etwas ruhiger sein aber es ist nichts schreckliches und der trafo im lüfter is eh lauter. irgendwas am kickr knarzt bei stärkerer bewegung, aber das kann auch gut das flexible element oä von der schaukelplatte sein - ansonsten fällt mir nichts negatives ein.

ah. verzichte ggf auf die optionale tablethalterung oder druck die selbst. war bei mir geldverschwendung weil die wackelplatte und tablet einen seekrank werden lassen lol (sonst schick ich dir meine fürn guten preis oderso) :)

@randahl of course I'd rather reside in Ireland than Germany.... EU passport

it is very important to me to know louis pouzin's thoughts on the EPR paper for plot reasons

@thomasfuchs I've started to burn all my iTunes/Apple purchases onto an Audio CD, as a backup, and rip them again to remove the DRM. :D

Sorry I referred to your discovery of a new species as "achieving an organism".

Again, Klips goes out of his way to kinda make this all seem post-war on terror "normal" which is... well, questionable. I don't know if he's being twitchy (guy's ex-Greenwald left) or he doesn't understand that Palantir being able to coordinate the data IS the fucking panopticon because of how much data the US govt collects but... this analysis is poor. What the govt DOES with the info is EVERYTHING; not how it collects.

The leaks tho, are real:

Hey y’all. The grown ups are all at #Fossdem and left us unsupervised. 😈

Awake before 8am on a day off because there are MEN CLONKING* outside my window.

@nitot j'ai trouvé étrange l'usage de Vimeo.
Puis c'est monté au cerveau. Ah, mais YouTube a dû refuser de diffuser.

Je le demandais quand il allait prendre la parole. Bonne idée je trouve que ce soit dans ce type de format.
