Wondering why Pollito has been so quiet lately? Sadly, his reckless lifestyle of collecting DebConf name badges have been catching up with him. I can't say that I can't relate.

You can see a white house wall on which "if you don't like graffiti then just look away like you do for human suffering......" is written in green.

Noisy Hacklab at DebConf is quite lively today!

Biblically accurate VLC player

@kilroy_was_here been listening to it since I was 8 years old, an album you can still listen from start to end

@ThePlant don't hold your breath heh

@bremner you flatter me. There are many cases of this stuff, we won't finish it tonight.

Current activity @ DebConf

@bustikiller @jan gmail is increasingly becoming a walled garden

Well... is it completely wrong though?

This is your reminder that the heart of the Fedi isn't one person. It's all the people who BOOST the posts they think are important.

There's no algorithm here to tell you which posts you should be paying attention to. That's YOUR JOB. So BOOST the things you love. BOOST the things you think are important. And BOOST the posts that make your heart laugh.

The Fediverse needs YOU to BOOST.

If anyone is wondering how well ‘AI’ in hiring is going:

My partner just tried putting her CV through some ATS checkers that use LLMs. Her name can be turned into a male name by deleting one letter. Doing so caused her score to jump 10 points.

Anyone using these tools for hiring is going to have some massive discrimination lawsuits in their future.

@Edent People have using balcony solar and wind technology for years to do all kinds of awesome things! .. Like drying their clothes!

@wesdym Absolutely, we are all walking bags of compost in training.

@Zestryon What else can you do when the rest of our species are hell-bent on destroying the only inhabitable planet that we have?

@dpk I've never been in a polycule but in our househould we use Nextcloud!

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.

You simply don’t need to.

You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.

Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.

The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.

And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)

Ursula von der Leyen’z post wishing a “warm welcome to all folllwers on W” and calling it user friendly, open source, privacy preserving and “humans only/no bots”. Oh and “European” (unlike Mastodon, which I guess was made on Mars).

@an0key Yikes! I've been on our city community network (CTWUG), on meshtastic and meshcore and this is one of my fears! Thankfully I've never fallen yet, glad to hear you're ok! That's a massive fall!
