PSA for my friends …
And those of you who have been encountering “Nicole, but you can call me Fediverse Chick …”
https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/what-are-pig-butchering-scams.html
“Pig Butchering” is an exponentially growing scam model, being carried out by trafficked people. It rolls a whole psych warfare + romance + free crypto money scam together with some sort of grandpa-scam entree, and they’re in for a long game.
Mastodon Admins are trying to get rid of “Nicole”, but its a hydra.
DO NOT ENGAGE.

I read something recently about AI generated images being the "aesthetics of fascism" (forget where exactly, sorry!) and the more that I think about it, the more all those AI slop images seem to dovetail perfectly with the ugliness of wojacks, the Pepe frog, the NFT apes
Opening browser developer tools on the DHL parcel tracking page to look at the raw GraphQL response so that I can determine the weight of my parcel, and other completely normal things to be doing
Discord
@jordan I've found that very few people understand the relationship between "taking funding rounds" and "having no good options left" (a lot of folks I've talked to seem to model funding as 'free money' in their understanding), so probably the response to the IPO is based purely on the connection between "IPO" and "profit maximization", not quite recognizing that Discord landed on a fixed path the moment they did funding rounds.
Artikel in het AD over hoe steeds meer grote en vervuilende bedrijven toch een B Corp certificering weten te behalen.
"De B Corp-certificering is in het leven geroepen door B Lab, een non-profitorganisatie die strijdt voor een nieuw economisch systeem waarin winst maken wél samen gaat met oog hebben voor mens, milieu en maatschappij."
Tja, als je het zo definieert, dan had je het wel een beetje aan kunnen zien komen, he. Winst overheerst altijd, dus dat doel is eigenlijk al bij voorbaat onhaalbaar.

depol, racism
the way the right-wing media quickly stopped covering the tragedy in german mannheim when it became clear that the culprit of the deliberate attack on the crowd at the carnival was not a migrant from asia or africa, but "alexander" - a white german citizen with extreme right-wing views, and it was a muslim who tried to stop him, is simply astonishing
nlpol, re: depol, racism
@mynameistillian I've seen the exact same pattern play out in Dutch media so many times.

Idk who needs to hear this
But if you don't need it to ~scale~
You can just post your video as an mp4 on your site and embed it in a blog post
And video encoding is pretty good these days, you can probably get a short video to be a smaller file size than a modern web app's JavaScript
You don't need YouTube

"remote friendly" "anywhere in the U.S." ok
Lidl heeft momenteel online een (hout)draaibank in de uitverkoop voor 40 euro: https://www.lidl.nl/p/parkside-draaibank/p100358512
Verwacht er niet te veel van, lijkt de gebruikelijke Scheppach-kwaliteit te zijn, maar voor die prijs lijkt het me zeker een kijkje waard voor hobbygebruik.
(Meestal als dingen zo afgeprijsd zijn proberen ze de laatste stuks te verkopen, dus ze zullen er niet veel meer hebben, denk ik)

another day spent trying to get my autism and ADHD to cancel out
@eloy "Goederenbank", equivalent to a food bank, in that you can get free things from there, but only after means testing and in the form of charity - as opposed to a giveaway shop which is a community space that welcomes anyone and where the point is to create a social environment where money plays no role in any way to begin with

I would love to host my 1.5tb of music on some server and using it as my own streaming service or pirate radio, but the dmca is very real unfortunately…
Laws are so fucked that I can’t even do that with the music that I bought, eh

Heads up: There's a critical (9.7 CVSS) vulnerability in certain Misskey (v12) forks
Misskey and Sharkey are NOT affected
We'll provide details later, follow this thread for more detail. Magnetar and Iceshrimp.js will receive immediate patches, for EoL forks we can only provide a link to a hot patch once fixes have been rolled out for server owners to use
We are not aware of any existing exploits of this vulnerability to date

holding the website down with my foot & pointing my sword at them as I check this box:
activism, infiltration, slightly vent-y
Relatedly: maybe stop playing by the state's rules? Half the point of infiltration is to create paranoia in the group, and because cops always have more resources than your radical group does, they essentially have full control over how much of your energy gets spent chasing them.
You're not going to get an advantage there. Look for your advantage in strategies and areas that the state (fundamentally) cannot competently deal with, and that they do not have a lot of resources in.
activism, infiltration, slightly vent-y
I wish people in activist spaces would spend less time arguing about who is or isn't a cop, and more time figuring out strategies where it doesn't materially *matter* if some people are cops.
Like, you can try reading tea leaves until you're blue in the face but it's just going to cost you a lot of energy that's better spent driving effective change.
