Off to see the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring with @Weirdos_Queerdos . So excited!
Was sich gerade durch viele Branchen zieht: Stellenabbau, damit »KI-Initiativen« bezahlt werden. Und dann? Soll die KI den Laden schmeißen? Wohl kaum – sie kennt keine Verantwortung, keine echten Prozesse, kein Bauchgefühl für Kunden. Am Ende sitzt ein kleines Restteam da, räumt Halluzinationen auf und nennt das »Transformation«. Ich sag mal so: The world is broken.
For those of you looking across the Atlantic & thinking at least what's happening with ICE in Minnesota couldn't happen here.... think again.
This is exactly what Reform UK Ltd (Nigel Farage's company masquerading as a political party) *is* planning - and as so often the Fascists are quite open about what they intend.
Moreover, lacking the sort of constitutional restraints (unevenly) available in the US, the danger of ICE-like action(s) here is worse!

OpenAI’s Sora app is struggling after its stellar launch https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/29/openais-sora-app-is-struggling-after-its-stellar-launch/
NEW, by me: A security and privacy feature rolled out to select models of the latest iPhones and iPads this week will make it more difficult for law enforcement, spies, and malicious hackers to obtain a person's precise location data from their phone provider.
@zackwhittaker yet iphone still not force E2EE on everything so a simply ask from the US nazi regime and they have your full message history.
@UlrikeHahn @adredish @albertcardona everyone who has decision making power over someone else's salary or future career prospects does it, even if they don't admit that to themselves.
@neuralreckoning @adredish @albertcardona even if that’s the notion of “direct” to go with it has nothing to do with age, no?
The German gov recommends NOT going to the #US because it's not safe
Makes total sense
@jwz That survey was an exercise in asking us to please please let them do the AI.
Here's my response:
"Please, if management want to suck at the teet of AI and the grifting engine, spin out the browser and email clients. Let the community safeguard those. I don't even mind if you keep the names Firefox and thunderbird. But we can't afford for AI to be permanently entwined in this browser. We have forks but we need more community governance clear of the current hype in silicon valley." 1/4
@thomasfuchs i used to use vivaldi, i ended up moving off of it cus of its chromium base but i've heard it's still really good despite that?
@trecccst yeah, I’m done with Mozilla
I’d prefer Safari tbh but they don’t make it for Windows

Current status: fuming with rage at the SHEER INEPTITUDE of the French press in covering W Social and Mastodon.
In the article linked below "journalist" François Saltiel wrote that @Gargron "quit his own network [Mastodon] because he was fed up with the behavior of certain users."
Eugen referred to deleting his bridge to Bluesky, not quitting Mastodon FFS.
You should know Mr. Saltier simply rehashed W Social's press release and failed to mention it is a fork of Bluesky...
"Journalism" today
@_elena @Gargron Looking new friend. Always active on snap : https://www.snapchat.com/@elima_elisa
G'afternoon all.
Got the week's shopping done and my daily reading. Fanon's text is just what I was looking for -- a real challenge without being so far above my head I'm drowning in it.
How's your day going?
@JessMahler you know that whole putting something off for WAYYYY too long because executive dysfunction convincing you it's going to be horrible, but then you do it and it's fast and easy?
Yeah. I did the thing finally. 🎉 So, that's good, but am kicking myself for putting it off for so long. Of course, I was doing that BEFORE I did the thing so. 🤷♀️
Et ainsi donc, je vais enfin pouvoir me payer mon permis de conduire.
@nileane trop bien 😇😇😇
@PaulaPapaia això ja és un altre tema @bibiloni
Are you running a server on the Fediverse, either Mastodon or some other type?
Would you like it to be listed on the human-curated server directory at https://fedi.garden/fedi-gardens-full-server-list ?
Is it compatible with all seven points at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site ?
If the answer to all these is yes, please message my other account at:

Let me know a little bit about your server in your message, or send a link to your About page 🙂
Signal President Meredith Whittaker warns AI agents embedded in OSes are eroding end-to-end encryption's real-world security, despite its mathematical soundness. With root-like access to messages & data, they bypass E2EE isolation—urgent rethink needed! 🔒🤖❌
