In case no one in your circle has said it (lately), you are not immune to propaganda. 💜

The greatest—and most hilarious—political rebuttal I’ve ever read.

And yes, this is real. It’s a joint reply from the Tla’amin, Klahoose, K’ómoks and Homalco Nations over a local MP getting up in arms over First Nations land acknowledgements.

We need more “Chillax, Bud”.

Good news for our trans friends:

The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their "lived gender" rather than their gender at birth.

To translate this for non-EU people, it's the equivalent of the US supreme court (the ECJ here) ruling that states (the EU Member States here) must respect people's gender choices.

"AI is giving attackers a huge advantage!"

"Yes, it is. It's amazing how quickly it has destroyed dev, sec, ops, management, company missions and priorities, regulations, information literacy, and civil society, making everyone more vulnerable."

It’s already tempting notably for smallish projects to resort to genAI:

But I think a race to the bottom has started in #FreeSoftware, with this rationale: if “we” don’t use genAI in our project, then we will lose to the competition, whether free slopware or proprietary.
