@informapirata @informatica al posto del buono Mediaworld dovevani proporre un rimborso con il metodo di pagamento usato. Così li obblighi ad acquistare per forza qualcosa da loro, altra pratica scorretta, proprio perché è un errore loro e non un ripensamento del cliente
Most team culture comes out of a combination of what is tolerated and what is rewarded. If you legit want your culture to improve, change what you reward and rethink what you will tolerate.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: http://doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html
OK, this is a complicated poll.
Please don't answer to tell me what you'd prefer I ask. Trust me, there's a reason for the phrasing.
A few thoughts on the AI bubble:
1. The "no business model" critique is wrong for FAANG; they’re posting record profits while spending billions. It’s startups like OpenAI and Thinking Machines that can’t justify their valuations.
2. Circular deals (Nvidia funding OpenAI to buy Nvidia chips) are a major 🚩. It feels similar to the Lucent & Enron collapses.
3. The internet took a decade post-crash to change everything. AI will likely take just as long, but investors are betting on 2–4 years.

Bonfire Social 1.0 is live! A federated, community‑first social network built on the modular Bonfire toolkit, and it’s only the beginning.
It's time to go beyond microblogging and build apps for community organising, open science, mutual aid, and collective decision‑making. Let's take back the internet with open protocols, consent‑based governance, and portability by design.

@tychi Capacity would be an ever present issue, but yeah, this sounds very possible.
In August 2024, EU Commissioner Thierry Breton threatened Musk & X with penalties under the Digital Services Act merely for hosting an interview with Trump--a gross abuse of the DSA. Now MAGA conspiracy theorist Mike Benz is attacking the very people who have condemned Breton and opposed censorship.

We’ve got one more chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025: Aftyn Behn (a state representative and former Indivisible organizer) can flip a Tennessee district that Trump won by double-digits if we turn enough voters out: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/868936/?utm_source=mastodon
RE: https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam/115599175916427771
Like Aftyn, we don’t take any corporate PAC money. We're counting on grassroots donors to power our organizing work to win in Tennessee in nine days. Please pitch in if you can to split a contribution between Aftyn’s campaign and Indivisible to help us reach more voters during the final week of this election: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/indivisible-tn07?refcode=mastodon20251123directpost&source=mastodon
