1. Maybe they spent less money attacking Mastodon. I have no idea.
2. https://bsky.app/profile/safety.bsky.app/post/3mjg52nusg226 (and the actual lede of the story in the NYT)
3. Different networks, different pain points. The exact same APT is attacking Mastodon and having a far more successful time of it. It's not being reported because unlike influential accounts being hijacked, a paltry few thousand fake Mastodon accounts spewing propaganda is not considered newsworthy.
I can't express just how much I love bearing witness to the genuine, visceral loathing the kids have toward #AI and the techbrosphere foisting it upon them.

Présenter sa carte d'identité ou utiliser FranceConnect sera-t-il bientôt obligatoire pour accéder aux réseaux sociaux ? C'est ce que prépare une proposition de loi imposant une vérification d'âge pour empêcher les moins de 15 ans d'utiliser ces plateformes. Poussé par la France et la Commission européenne, un tel mécanisme porterait un coup très grave à l'anonymat, la vie privée et la liberté d'expression en ligne.
@LaQuadrature Et on a une définition claire (au sens juridique) de ce qu'est un réseau social ?
The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.
Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.

It happens to all websites, to podcasts, to books in online shops since years, because they become more and more invisible in search. And even before Google's new plans we have the AI-slop scam websites, copied websites, stolen identities, #AIslop fake books.
We urgently need regulations! I can't imagine that what Google plans would be legal in the EU. Our politicians sleep ...
💥 70,000 signatures! 💥
...and the petition closes on June 8th.
Imagine if we can get it over 100,000 before then - and open a Parliamentary debate in time for the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote on June 23rd 2026. That'd be powerful.

Okay. So question for #linux or #security folks.
I want to set up a #nixbook (#nixos) computer set up as a public access computer.
I know how to harden the OS to avoid tampering. But how can I filter content? I'm already getting questions like, how can we prevent people from looking up inappropriate things?
How would you do it?
@mttaggart @DAIR I would love to see it!! Happy to collaborate.
Also I liked your piece on using Claude and hating it!
Hvorfor river vi så mange bygg, når det vi trenger er flere boliger? Og når det fører til masse klimautslipp midt i en klimakrise?
Sigrid Z. Heiberg fra Oslo MDGs rådhusgruppe fokuserer mye på dette for tiden, og inviterer til et digitalt møte om det akkurat nå. Kom og hør på: https://meet.google.com/kve-edrq-iqv
Og så skal jeg styre ordet for spørsmål etterpå 😡
@forteller som ntnu ansatt så lurer på hva som skjer ned campus Dragvoll ved Ntnu. Vi flytter fra ca 80 000 kvadrat i naturskjønne omgivelser og for det meste god bygningsmasse. Vi håper det blir gjenbruk fra 2030.Da flytter humanist/samf. Fagene til Gløshaugen

Google Search rests on a social contract: their bots can crawl our sites, they can index our sites, and they can show excerpts of our sites because
and •only because•
they send people to our sites. •Our• sites, our words, with our design, with our links, with our context and our aesthetics, shared the way we want to share them.
Google is announcing — unambiguously and with great fanfare — that they are now fully breaking that already-ragged contract. We should reciprocate.

New from me: France is done with US big tech companies—arguably its moving away from American tech faster than other countries in Europe
The French government has built its own replacement for Google Docs/Microsoft Office. Cities, including Lyon, are moving to Linux and other tech. Open source is at the center of their efforts.

Not okay this morning at all. We are in an emergency situation trying to secure shelter so we don’t lose everything. Please, PLEASE help if you can!! I even finished a commission this morning because I am desperate for help. We have to raise $330 within the next hour or so, and I’m genuinely struggling. #neurodivergent #DisabledArtist #art #mutualAidRequest #MutualAid #BuyIntoArt #poverty #disabled #crowdfunding #CommissionsOpen #MutualAidSavesLives #transgender #lgbtqia #kofi #artist #Urgent #UrgentMutualAid #Emergency
I’ve no tolerance anymore for anyone working at Google or Facebook in any mid-level or senior engineering position.
They could have left years ago or never started working there in the first place.
None of this shit is new or a surprise. They’re actively helping making the world a worse place and destroy things I love.
@thomasfuchs amen! boycott the people socially as well as their products economically!
But why not Primitive FTPD? SFTP? Samba? Pairdrop? Anything that would work over ubiquitous and fast 802.11 WiFi?
Don't ask me, ask the Android developers. They are the ones who made sure these would not work without any explanation.
Anyways, lotsa kudos to whoozle for developing this tool. Do check it out!
