Anthropic is some of the shittiest humans alive constantly lying about their product and theatrically demanding it deserves human rights to juice their valuation so it's deeply tragicomic to see them get to score some easy points by rebuffing the US imperial death machine
@mastodonmigration how about Progressive Democrats and Centrist Democrats? I don’t think Conformist Democrats conveys the distinction effectively.
Maybe, that is another one that has been around, but feel like Centrist has too positive a connotation. Kind of like Moderate. Conformist has the quality of appeasement to corporate interests without calling them Corporate. Just spitballing...
wow he's a patron of @anew.social@bsky.brid.gy that's like so cool I Will Also Support A New Social With My Dollars 😵💫🐸

hey so. looking for a job (NZ or fully remote willing to hire a kiwi) in SRE, security, or linux/Unix system administration. 15 years experience administering Linux and Unix boxes, intermediate level of experience working with docker compose and containerisation and container security. No prior job experience unfortunately, all those 15 years were mostly personal projects and small-scale stuff for friends. I'm also 26, so I started when I was 11, explaining the no jobs so far. Currently running an entire multi-machine personal cloud infrastructure with a demonstration of all the services I have running at https://status.highenergymagic.net. Three machines, 72 docker containers. One running most of them, one running Mastodon+glitchsocial, one running the uptime monitor. encrypted root on ZFS, alpine linux, gVisor on supported containers, plan to move to Kata. Entirely willing to accept entry-level job placements, no expectation of being paid a lot or anything, just want to be doing something and move the needle a little on my current "being broke" status. Currently using gVisor, docker compose, and kata containers in production, experience with Linux, docker, Net/Open/FreeBSD, Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, Mikrotik and UniFi, configuring and administering Asterisk, plus extensive experience with IBM AIX and Sun Solaris. #fedihired #infosec #cybersecurity #linux #unix #docker #sre #DevOps #GetFediHired
Please boost for reach, any job offers please DM me.

A lot of stuff is shitty but the rise of solar to be the cheapest, most efficient energy source kinda rules
I'm trying to rage-write an article about all the completely awful, useless, polluting, dangerous shit that companies are proposing to launch into orbit and I can't even tell what's fake and what's real on these fucking techbro websites anymore. It's all so fucking ludicrous.
@sundogplanets There comes a point at which we're better off crowdfunding the launch of something *designed* to initiate a LEO Kessler cascade, and I think we're close to it.

I can't work out why people modify their cars to make them sound knackered. I've driven enough shit heaps that backfired and needed a new exhaust. It definitely wasn't cool then, and remains that way.
@AnarchoNinaWrites an ai reenactment of when john found out george was saying racist stuff about yoko
@julieofthespirits lol, see? I think WE should curate the Beatles AI future... this is so much better than what it's gonna be, which is George Harrison selling me Zesty Doritos and funeral insurance.
I'm at a loss for words.This is a recurring topic in science and I still don't understand how this can be so common.
@brembs @albertcardona look at the incentive structures in science now. It’s all innovation, newness is fetishised, publish publish publish, only “high impact” journal publications really matter … where is the place for kind of boring, routine maintenance and enabling of others?
Really kind of like Progressive Democrats and Conformist Democrats. Schumer is a Conformist. Murphy is a Progressive
Progressive Senate Democrats: Murphy, Warren, Kelly, Sanders, Merkley...
Conformist Senate Democrats: Schumer, Rosen, Gillibrand, Coons, Kaine...
What are some of the others?
Periodically I get asked about "shift lenses" and photographic geometry. I did a little thread on this a while back:

#photography nerditry thread: Shift Movements
As an urban landscape photographer concerned with architecture, I make a extensive use of what are called "shift movements", which are supported by certain cameras/and or lenses. Shift movements are used to avoid introducing geometric distortions (particularly of rectangular objects) that would otherwise be caused by the camera's position with respect to the subject
Allow me to explain...

Cloudflare continues to push the worst shit combination of centralization of the internet and genAI bullshit but congratulations, they've hit a new combo so bad I didn't even consider it possible https://blog.cloudflare.com/agents-stripe-projects/
That's right! Your agents can now provision servers, spend money, and do everything for you!
You don't even need to hand them a credit card!
What's that? Why's that?
Because they've teamed up with Stripe! Why yes, if you've signed up with Stripe Atlas (don't "shrug" this Atlas off, friends!), which is Stripe's "launch a startup for you" company-to-make-companies, they'll give you $100k of FREE credits!!!
That first hit! It's free! Hey!
I bet all the future hits will be too, right? And uh, who will be left holding that bill after you've established this nice dependency?
Vibe coding? That's nothing! Time to go all in on Vibe Founding!
@cwebber Someone here that can write a tool to create cloudflare accounts and use it to DDOS cloudflare at Layer 7 with bullshit configuration and API load?
It has been an honor and delight getting to know @Tzipporah and @Yehuda over the past few months.
If you haven’t met them, they’re the grandfather & grandkid duo that co-admin #TurtleIsland, a server focused on building community with Native/Indigenous people, other BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) people, and allies. To me, their story perfectly encapsulates the best thing about the fediverse and Mastodon: People coming together to build a place for themselves.
Read their beautiful story: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/05/community-spotlight-tzipporah-and-yehuda-of-turtle-island-social/
