STOP using corporate platforms! 🚨🛑

From demanding "real names", official IDs, and face scans destroying pseudonymity,

To carefully keeping track of everyone you interact with,

To tracking everything you do on the internet *outside* these platforms linking it back to your profile without your knowledge,

They will now utilize, process, tag, and judge everything you post to feed their AI models or sell it back to someone else's models.

It will only get *worse* from now.

You have no control whatsoever on what will be done with this AI-compiled profile of you later on.

The only solution to stay safe from their insatiable greed is to leave and delete,
before they eat you whole.

Yes! A few years ago, my employer decided we would all use #Slack. I thought it was fine for instant communications, but I suspected people would stop using #email. Although slower, email is great as a more permanent, searchable communications archive. It has worked out as I suspected and everybody has difficulty finding the conversations they had with colleagues. I still have an archive of email from 30 years ago.

It has been 0 days since an #Electron-based application gave me the shits.

Apparently #Slack when presented with 3 microphones, will sometimes choose 0 of them, and refuse to change its choice until restarted… but otherwise give no indication that you're forbidden from speaking.

Seriously guys, just open source the bloody protocol, we'll write our own client!

A #DOGE #Recruiter Is Staffing a Project to Deploy #AI Agents Across the US Government

A #startup founder told a #Palantir alumni #Slack group that AI agents could do the work of tens of thousands of government employees. He was met with emojis of clowns and a man licking a boot.

WIRED · A DOGE Recruiter Is Staffing a Project to Deploy AI Agents Across the US GovernmentBy Caroline Haskins

There seems to be no obvious way to get #Slack to tell me what three things I need to look at in the ocean of channels with unread messages and keyword alerts.

This fucking app seems designed to generate anxiety.

Sicuramente è stato già chiesto cento volte, ma me lo sono persa.
Avete alternative a #slack bio equosolidali fatte in casa?
cercando a caso come alternativa danno Microsoft Teams...

Long awaited here it comes...

NoN-Cinema. No Sense. NO PLOT. Just "BLOBS" and "BOBS" into Hyperreality & Scifi Horror movies.

#introduction for my lovely new server.

I'm David (most contexts) or Stacktrace (#RollerDerby). I'm a software engineer at #Slack and I love building #FOSS (#Python, #Django, #Rust, and #Nix).

I made:

- stave.app, volunteer management for roller derby.
- paytransparency.work, tracking pay transparency laws.
- bibliothekai.ktema.org, cataloging translations of Greek & Roman classics.

My non-tech interests are #AncientGreek, my beloved #dachshund Mishka, botanic gardens, and #SciFi.
