I wonder if @Mastodon is thinking about leaving GitHub as central code and issue management platform given how GitHub is visibly falling apart and runs on anti FLOSS principles.
Oh look what some rag called Saudi Moments is publishing with the headline, 'Why everyone if suddenly ditching expensive electric vehicles'.
They wouldn't have a vested interest in making people believe that would they?
We've asked #UKHomeOffice, #EUCouncil and #Viminale which biometrics and genetic databases they will share with #ICE and #DHS under the #EnhancedBorderSecurityPartnership ( #EBSP) which the #US requests

Happy Anniversary CSS!
On 12 May 1998 CSS level 2 went to Rec. It's amazing how far the web and CSS has come in 28 years.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to CSS over the years!

The message from Europeans is clear: children deserve a digital world where they can grow up free, safe and protected.
From harmful content and cyberbullying to addictive online designs, concerns about the risks children face online are growing across Europe.
Tech providers are responsible for the safety of their products and their safe use. Let us give childhood back to our children.
That is Europe's principle; that is the basis of the Digital Services Act.
@EUCommission All is good but age verification systems are not the solution.
It’s always nice when someone writes to say thank you for something you’ve done or created instead of just reading gripes or complaints. Just got a really nice email saying thanks for the latest update of Linea.
Today would be a great day to send a note of thanks to someone who makes something you love or enjoy. A little positivity goes a long way. 👍🖖
JUST IN: April CPI inflation jumped to 3.8%. Higher than expected. Highest increase since 2023.
3.8% is just the average.
Energy commodities are up+29.2%
Gasoline is up +28.4%
Airfare is up +20.7%
Energy is up +17.9%
No amount of “budgeting” can excuse the fact that inflation is robbing us blind.

💰Parteispenden-Info: 1.015.767,12 Euro von Thomas Stanger an das BSW.
Stanger ist Gründer eines Unternehmens für Eventbeleuchtung. Seit 2024 spendete er dem BSW über 8 Millionen Euro.
In kaum einem anderen EU-Staat wären so hohe Spenden möglich. Denn fast überall gibt es Obergrenzen für Spenden. Mit gutem Grund. Denn so hohe Parteispenden sind schlicht undemokratisch. Vermögende erkaufen sich damit Einfluss, den andere sich nicht leisten können. Zeit für einen Deckel!

Bambu Lab 3D printers: never again.
They're breaking the open source social contract (for the nth time...), and I'm past hoping they'll amend their ways.

#SailfishOS on the @pine64 #Pinephone, #PinephonePro and #Pinetab2 are all updated to kernel 7.0, and improved USB config. Just zypper ref/dup.
If an app on Google's Play Store says it may share with third parties your "Name, email address, user ID and other info" for the purposes of "App functionality, Fraud prevention, security, and compliance, Account management" as well as your messages and your approximate location... could the data be used for ad targeting?
Even if the company says that the app in question is only to verify your identity and is separate from the other app it's verifying your identity for? And it says it's complying with European laws?
This is a toot about #WIdentity and #WSocial

@rysiek "right-sizing" is such an euphemistic way to say that people will be fired. This decision to move that way was surely not driven by the development department but by their investors.
I guess that this currently happens in a lot of companies. And I really can't see that this will go out well. This whole "The AI will save us multiple people" doesn't work. Sure, it speeds up things, but it increases the review time a lot. And when I understood that post in the right way, they even dream of letting humans completely out of the loop - and that will fail.
Welp. I've been using GitLab for over a decade and have been pretty happy with it. Deployed and maintained several instances, some personal, some for small hobby orgs, some for work.
But it looks like it is time to ditch GitLab for good:

This is obvious, I think (?) to people who are using or studying LLMs and/or intentionally reading their output, but clearly not to people who strictly avoid them. I don't really know how to think about this.
Like, I'm not myself going to call out LLM-shaped posts—that's not really something I can easily objectively demonstrate and also egh, extremely not my ministry. But people who (reasonably) hate the tech are finding its output persuasive without knowing what they're reading. It seems not great.
Anecdotally, so, so many of blog posts and Substack whatnots getting passed around approvingly by mostly-anti-LLM accounts here on the mostly-anti-LLM platform have pretty obvious LLM fingerprints all over them.
