@hipsterelectron@circumstances.run @dragon@lesbian.solutions so many things would be so much easier if we had standardised ipc that i could just inspect when i want to
fuck your 'intellectual property' im debugging your shit ass broken software, let me do that
(this post inspired by a nontrivial time spent at my dayjob fixing vendor software)
Whenever I post something like this I always get comments from people saying “okay but can’t you segregate this into a separate accessibility section”. Which id love for you to sit with that
And then there’s always the “but think of the poor disabled people who won’t know what to do if we don’t treat them separately” which id also like you to sit with
I’ve never had a person who is disabled and used these features say “golly gee I wish you would shove me back to the corner where I belong”
@danirabbit picking Display, because it fits there more in terms of the level of consequences if someone overrides it. most Appearance settings are not dealbreakers if they're not respected by a specific app, most Display settings are
my point was for my group (photographers) this complementary effect you describe no longer exists -- i no longer see most of the people i follow, i see a minority interspersed with clickbait distractions "for you" i never signed up for
i could tell something was badly wrong that i was no longer seeing most of the photographers i wanted to see & that i was being overloaded with ads... but the "sponsored content" that used stolen images from someone i knew from real life (not just Instagram) was the last straw
if Meta ads are working for your business, by all means, continue, but they are making updates constantly & tons of people are having problems -- it's a pay to play world, can your small business afford it? if so, great, but that's no longer true for many
just exchanging Instagram accounts & telling yourself that people are seeing what you post is just not correct... that's not the world we live in anymore
@peachfront @peachfront I understand that this is no longer working for your photography network, and I’m not claiming that Instagram reliably shows everyone the content they follow.
I don’t use Instagram or Facebook, but many people in my social circles do. For them, it still seems to work as a way of connecting and seeing one another’s content.
Instagram content sometimes reaches even me, and then I need to find a workaround to view it. Just now, a contact shared a video about an immigrant from my home country who became homeless in Berlin and is raising funds to return home.
That’s the network effect I’m trying to describe, not an endorsement of Meta or its algorithms.
It was quite terrifying.
Today I'll be wasting my time checking questions from a translation agency because their client put my entire transition through AI and produced spreadsheets of questions and suggested amendments.
I just wish people would stop burning down the planet while trying to put people out of work.
🐧Linux 7.3 Features Many Exciting Improvements, New Hardware Support & Faster Btrfs
｢ As noted by Linus Torvalds in the Linux 7.3-rc1 release announcement and the trend of the past number of kernels, this kernel version is on the heavier side in part due to the increased patch churn of AI/LLM coding agents both in uncovering countless kernel bugs and also assisting in the creation of new Linux kernel patches ｣
@jbz linux is not exciting anymore. The slopenguin is on point.
@ramsey Brilliant marketing / PR on their part. As per usual, people will get over their outrage real quick when they realize it's nearly impossible for Google to blow a decade long lead but who knows.
@josh I’m surprised Apple hasn’t followed suite yet. They changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, so I assumed they would make this change, too.
Last day folks! 😲
My membership program Intuitive+ is still 15% off the first month (or six months) if you use the code BREAKEND15
I'm getting ready this week to send out my next Cycles Hyped No More newsletter and record the members-only podcast Future Insider. Thanks for supporting my indie publications and proving that fedi is the place to be! ☺️
Happy September, kids.
The industry ministry asked the city of Hitachiomiya in Ibaraki Prefecture to accept a survey for selecting a final disposal site for high-level radioactive waste from nuclear power plants. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/31/japan/hitachiomiya-nuclear-waste-site-survey/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #nuclearwaste #hitachiomiya #surveys
The Ballroom will feature prominently in Democratic ads this year and for the 2028 election. Trump isn't just digging up the White House, he's digging the GOP's political grave.
@lauren I wish I could believe that. My guess is that MAGAts are immune to facts (but nothing else, thanks to Secretary Brainworm...), and the Dems are so bad at politics that they'll aim this at all the wrong targets.
Last week, the DOJ seized a botnet used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to attack US organizations.
ZeroTrace has published a deep dive into how the botnet was organized and run.
QTFY is considered a "digital quartermaster" for MSS and PLA cyber contractors.
Look, I'm very much against AI. But if you for some reason found yourself HAVING to use an AI for something, let me assure you that the one stapled to Google Search does not have a time or token limit and you can spend Sundar's money and tokens freely. Why you'd want to? I dunno, that shit is garbage. By also rich ppl paying big money for this and all you gotta do is stop pretending you're searching after the first question.
With everything having notifications now, I’m waiting for someone to invent a notification that can have its own notifications
