This reminds me of something I posted on a previous social media account.

“You’ve Got Mail”: a romantic comedy about a little bookstore being overrun by a huge bookstore/DVD store

“You’ve Got ‘You’ve Got Mail’”: a dark comedy about a huge bookstore/DVD store being overrun by an online mail-order megastore.

“You’ve Got ‘You’ve Got “You’ve Got Mail”’”: a tragedy about an online mail-order megastore being supplanted by streaming services. ← YOU ARE HERE

“No One’s Got ‘You’ve Got Mail’”: a farce about how all movies have become unavailable because companies withhold them for the tax write-offs.

“You’ve Got Mail-full-1080p.mkv”: a documentary about the valuable role that pirates are performing as librarians and archivists.

The fact that Microsoft Teams 🤮 contains a feature called "Teams" where actual teams can create a Team, and at Microsoft the teams working on that feature probably have a Team to discuss the Teams feature, suggests that there exists a Microsoft Microsoft Teams Teams Teams' Microsoft Teams Team.

📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.

Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities

After some conversations with friends NOT on the fediverse I've arrived at calling it "independent social media."

This is better than "open source" or other titles, it better conveys the central difference.

Who would have ever guessed that this was the solution to unhappy workers?

Normalerweise gebe ich grundsätzlich heimlich was ab. Aber, manchmal muss man einfach Aufmerksamkeit generier.

Die Signal Foundation hat kosten von rund 50 Mio USD jährlich für einen Dienst der niemanden Geld kostet. Und das zu finanzieren braucht man entweder Spenden, oder man verkauft die „Kundschaft“.

Wer also ein klein wenig über hat (und sei es nur ein Euro) der kann ja mal ein Gedanken daran verschwenden ob man das Projekt nicht unterstützen möchte.

This Recall thing is a prime example of how bad we are at understanding when something is a systemic problem.

It doesn't matter if *you* disable it. It doesn't matter if *you* install Linux. It doesn't matter if *you* set your computer on fire and move to a Luddite commune.

If you have *ever* sent sensitive data, no matter how securely, to another person who now has this shit enabled, and they find your data and look at it, your data is compromised, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Alright, I spent way too much time doing a cover and video for "Dinosaur Laser Fight" by Ninja Sex Party. It turned out pretty well considering I have no idea what I'm doing :D

Picked up a bunch of new business cards from Studio Comix Press here in Kitchener. They look so nice!

The culture war over gender affirming Healthcare so frequently ignores the fact that only a small percentage of gender affirming care is actually for trans people. The majority is for cis people who are accessing it for the exact same reasons as trans people, feeling more comfortable in their gender identity.

I was prescribed spiranolactone because my body makes more testosterone than I want it to, and as a girl I do not like having excessive facial hair. Easy easy, doctor tested my blood and wrote the prescription. I didn't have to prove anything other than I wanted less facial hair, and because I'm cis everyone involved trusted that my personal preferences and discomfort were enough to give me what I needed to solve the problem.

Most top surgeries are performed on cis men (to treat gynecomastia and create a more masculine chest) and cis women (to create a more feminine chest). Most hormone therapy is given to cis people to help them comfortable in their gender.

Ich arbeite an einem (sehr) ausführlichen Artikel über Browser. Dieser wird auch eine Tabelle mit empfohlenen Browsern enthalten. Anbei eine Vorschau. Die Tabelle wird sich sicher noch ändern.

I'm in the process of removing a lot of art from Instagram and other Meta sites, due to their decisions to use our data to feed their AI. Instead, I am planning on only posting art that is protected with Glaze: a sort of overlay that confuses AI scrapers. I'd recommend that all artists and creatives on Twitter and Meta do the same. For more info search TheGlazeProject.

Remember Ebola? If you're wondering why you don't really hear about it anymore, it's because scientists came up with a vaccine, and there are now over half a million doses in the global stockpile. iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/

Hey, liebe 3D-Druck-Bubble...

Was kann ich tun, wenn mein Drucker (Prusa MK3S+) von jetzt auf gleich große Probleme mit dem gleichmäßigen Transport von Filament entwickelt?

Habe bereits Filamente und Düsen getauscht, es mit PLA-Kaltzug probiert, die Düse ohne Filament mal auf 280°C gebracht und mit der beiliegenden Nadel nach Verstopfungen geschaut. Es ist besser geworden, aber immer noch ziemlich unbrauchbar :(

Bin dankbar für Tipps, Tricks und RTs :)

Research finds that putting children in competitive activities tends to reduce their generosity and empathy. (This makes perfect sense when you think about the mindset required to try to beat other people.) Someone nicely summarized this by saying that caring tends to atrophy when the point is to win a trophy.

Der Messenger #Telegram ist für eine sichere Kommunikation nicht geeignet - standardmäßig sind die Nachrichten nicht einmal Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt. Besser geeignet sind #Signal oder #Threema. Übrigens: Elon Musk ist das Paradebeispiel eines Trolls. Einfach ignorieren. 😉

Journalist: "So what do you think long-distance air travel is going to look like in 2050?"

Climate Scientist *laughs derisively*: "By 2050, most long-distance holiday destinations will be uninhabitable, so I expect the majority of long-distance air traffic to be non-existent by 2050."

Phew. Hadn't heard it THAT bleakly during a live interview yet.

OK. Die #Bahn arbeitet mit einem Dienstleister und verlangt, dass man sein Bank-Login + Passwort bei dem auf der Web-Seite eingibt. Das ist genau das, wovor ich Oma und Opa immer gewarnt habe. Irre.
