I remember all the big tech worker: "we don't need a union".
500,000 tech workers have been laid off since ChatGPT was released

UBISOFT IS ANTI-LABOUR. If you think they're NOT, then you're NOT paying attention. Or, you're a moron. #NOTSORRY

She called it. 12 days.
Amazon did that in Quebec.
It's all anti-labour. Keep it strong.
There seem to be two kinds of people. Those where #matrix mostly just works and those who run into all kinds of issues and complain 24/7 about how awful everything is.
I wonder why I'm in the first group. Seriously, what am I doing different?
Apple courage is fucking their customers to increase profits, by removing the jack.
Apple courage isn't to enforce their policy to remove an app producing illegal content, because it might offend on of their fascist oligarch friend.
Apple courage is to remove an app that help people protect each other from a fascist Government.
Billionaires are really a different world.
Gotta love Qt6 wayland support:
`qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()`

Summary A heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in libcurl's HTTP/2 implementation. The on_header callback in lib/http2.c incorrectly treats header names and values provided by nghttp2...HackerOne
That was a fun read, sorry you and all the others managing bug bounties have to deal with this now.
It was pretty fun 6 years ago when I ran a program for my company. I met lots of great pentesters that taught me a lot along the way.
Been seeing a survey going around fedi this morning about Discord's use of AI, but it's hosted on some other unrelated website, there's no mention of it on discord's blog and the first time I've heard of it is from mastodon, so, like, anybody got a source for this, or is this just someone playing games?
EDIT: The domain has been used by Discord in the past (see thread), which points to this survey being legit!
(I do still wonder why I heard it from Fedi rather than from Discord though)
The discord AI survey is down already.
Even asking people if they want AI is bad for business.
Khronos reshared this.

why make up this constraint
Is it just me or does it feel super corrupt that all of these charities are paying their "leadership" seven (7) figure salaries?
The top one is making over $5 million USD / year.

Migration from iCloud Photos to Immich in progress 
Things I like:
* Easy to get going and seems much faster than my experience with Nextcloud
* Seems to support both HEIC and Live Photos and even displays them nicely in the interface
* Seems able to upload the photos directly from iCloud without having to download them all (a real win when you have more than 256GB of iCloud Photos and a 256GB phone
* Machine learning & recognition seem decent
Waiting to see:
* I do seem to need to keep the app open to upload reliably — but I am uploading 32k items so I figure this is probably a one-time thing
* It seems to stop uploading after every few hundred imports and grind all 6 cores I gave it at 100% for a few min — I assume this is the ML running over recent uploads though and will also be one-time (plus the WebUI stays working during this)

Nachdem ich Matcha Latte allgemein sehr geil finde, und im Teeladen letztens Matcha-Tee herumlag … dachte ich mir, den probierst du mal.
Stellt sich heraus: Matcha-Tee ist so gar nicht meines.
Aber hey, es ist Tee, nach guter britischer Art könnte man da noch Milch dazukippen, vielleicht wird's dann mehr Latte.
Stellt sich raus: Nope, auch das hilft nicht, ist immer noch nicht meines.
Jedenfalls … braucht jemand Matcha-Tee?
@Bubu Naja, streng genommen Match Genmaicha^^
Und zumindest der Duft davon (sowohl in trockener Form als auch aufgegossen) ist schon sehr angenehm. Aber der Tee selbst … ist nichts für mich, leider.
Ah, dann weiß ich was du meinst. :)
(Also ich mag den, aber hab auch zumindest Genmaicha, ohne Matcha, noch hier.)
Fellow *non*-Americans—are you using any or all of the U.S. support for Israeli wars and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians, the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the annexation threats against Greenland, or other U.S. policy decisions to move away from U.S. products and services?

in reply to Markus Lindenberg • • •common reasons for having a bad time:
1) if you lose your session (clear the tab; delete the app) and later try to log back in, you will lose history sent since you were last logged in. this is fixed by MSC3814, but implementation has got repeatedly stuck.
2) if you forget your recovery key/passphrase, you'll lose all your history. this could be improved too.
3) if your server is beta or underpowered then risk of badness.
4) abusive spam (we've been working away on antiabuse)
