"DOGE is going nowhere. And the real point of DOGE is not to save American taxpayers money. It’s a fundamental re-writing of the social contract, the relationship of US citizens to the state, and the state to private enterprise. "

Fedi-skupščina

Fediverza (fediverse, fedi) je interoperabilno omrežje in samo-organizirana infrastruktura široke palete različnih svobodnih in odprtokodnih aplikacij, med njimi je najbolj znan naprimer Mastodon. Na srečanju bomo lahkotno podrsali po površini tega kompleksnega medmrežja na medmrežju, se rahlo dotaknili prisotnih politik in izpostavili nekaj najbolj koristnih "app-ov". Poglobili se bomo v konkretne servise, ki jih že ponuja Kompot, njihovo uporabo in kako z njimi upravljati v prihodnje: 'gancio' (na naslovu koledar.kompot.si) za objavljanje dogodkov, in 'pixelfed' (na naslovu jugopiksel.top) kot alternativa Instagramu. Dobrodošle_ in vabljene_ vse_, ki vas zanima, kako je mogoče izstopiti iz kompleksnega in utesnjujočega klobčiča sledilnih in manipulativnih algortmov, t.i. "umetne inteligence", tehnoloških velikanov, in Elmota, in vseeno delovati na družbenih omrežjih ali objavljati na spletu.

This Clear TSA thing should be banned. Only in America do they enable private companies to take your biometric data and be a key component in a service that should be provided by government. But hey, you all voted for this. #surveilancecapitalism

"Because of your contributions on GitHub, two-factor authentication will be required for your account starting […]. Thank you for helping keep the ecosystem safe!"

"Hey [stupid]!
Your GitHub account was successfully signed in to but we did not recognize the location of the sign in."

So, because I contribute free and #opensource code to your #enshitified site, you now want to have me fully surveilled? That's how you "thank" me?

How about #FUgithub?

"...drivers are monitored by in-van AI-powered surveillance cameras, which track a driver’s movements and notify their dispatch manager of any infractions. If these infractions pile up, they can lead to drivers being disciplined."

Sounds like Wayne is a total ass...

I walked a couple of miles today to an appointment. It’s a beautiful day in #NYC. Avoiding the subterranean grime that is the NYC #Subway seemed like a good idea

When I pulled out my phone I see a message from Uber suggesting, I call for a ride even when I go down the road or across town.

Is #Uber keeping an eye on me even when I’m not using the app? Paranoid me has my suspicions

Can someone explain to the UK government what "federated" means?

Also: What "fundamental rights" are – because giving the health records of every citizen to Palantir is fucking insane!

A beautiful vision of the #Fediverse

I know we all dream of having all our friends and family on the Fediverse so we can avoid proprietary networks completely. But the Fediverse is not looking for market dominance or profit. The Fediverse is not looking for growth. It is offering a place for freedom. People joining the Fediverse are those looking for freedom. If people are not ready or are not looking for freedom, that’s fine. They have the right to stay on proprietary platforms. We should not force them into the Fediverse. We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.

By competing against Meta in the brainless growth-at-all-cost ideology, we are certain to lose. They are the master of that game. They are trying to bring everyone in their field, to make people compete against them using the weapons they are selling.

Fediverse can only win by keeping its ground, by speaking about freedom, morals, ethics, values. By starting open, non-commercial and non-spied discussions. By acknowledging that the goal is not to win. Not to embrace. The goal is to stay a tool. A tool dedicated to offer a place of freedom for connected human beings. Something that no commercial entity will ever offer.

My thesis remains: MB-S / Hows of S’aud eventually acquires all of Tesla's assets including and especially this (as fuel for their global #AI efforts)
