a business model deliberately designed to extract value from labour while avoiding the obligations that normally protect and pay workers, in order to "maximise shareholder value". The capitalists wet dream. FInancialising human effort so it can be treated like a raw material, traded and optimised for returns.
If society leaves it to “the market,” these people will keep doing it, because the system rewards them. If society changes the rules of the game - through law, governance, and culture - then the people pushing these models either adapt or lose their licence to operate.
Ve zkratce: pod vedením Dánska mnoho členských států EU prosazuje, aby služby typu WhatsApp, Signal a pod. byly nuceny zkoumat všechny naše fotografie a odkazy s pomocí AI. Pokud AI nabude jakýchkoli “pochybností” že by mohlo jít o dětskou pornografii, vaše fotka, poloha, telefonní číslo a jiné údaje budou nahlášeny Europolu a místní policii.
Wenn Tom Scott ein Video darüber gemacht hat, kann's ja nicht so schlecht sein, hab ich mir gedacht. Also bin ich mit dem gebogenen Aufzug auf die Kuppel des neuen Rathauses gefahren. Schon lustig. :)

Just a special bonus post to let you know that accounts in Mississippi USA are working just fine on the Fediverse. There are no corporate overlords that can block them.

Weird story. How can they write this shit with a straight face? There are people walking around every city with leaf blowers kicking up all the dust and particulates and somehow nobody cares about that air pollution?
🆕 blog! “What about using rel="share-url" to expose sharing intents?”
Let's say that you've visited a website and want to share it with your friends. At the bottom of the article is a list of popular sharing destinations - Facebook, BlueSky, LinkedIn, Telegram, Reddit, HackerNews etc.
You click the relevant icon and get taken to the site with the…
is this the right place to put the links? Couldn't this be a bookmarklet or browser extension? Couldn't be something that browsers just built in and allowed folks to customize? Where is the right place to solve this problem? Can we start there?
@mgifford I think I agree with you that this sounds more like a feature of the user agent than the website.
Adding and changing a share target is much easier there and with a bit of clever design it would work with any reachable page or resource, not just those web pages where the authors thought of adding share buttons
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).

I had one of these once and really liked it. I used to buy those packs of popcorn that came in two sections, one with the kernels and the other with the oil.

The last time I saw my aunt in person, we both tried to shove $100 into the other person’s hands at the same time. It was the same note, and we laughed and exchanged the notes.
I guess the exception to the gifting thing is I could probably have bought her a food gift. Like something really special.
But giving a consumer item would be very weird.
There’s something there around giving moms / aunts jewellery or handbags, maybe, but like ‘I’m going to give you a ticket to this event’ or ‘I am going to give you a random candle or sock’ would probably be met with confusion.
Anyway, American gift giving culture is really confusing to me and I have never once sat down to think ‘I wonder what this person would want!!’
I guess in many cultures it is tacky to give money as a gift
In the Chinese culture I know it is tacky to NOT give money
Coz how tf are you supposed to guess what anyone really wants? Other than cold hard cash, which everyone wants.
I'm a white American, and I don't like American gift-giving culture. Of course, one factor is that I'm a nerd, so I'm hard to buy gifts for. Especially now that I'm an adult with money, if I want something, I'll just buy it myself.
The redesign was kept very close to the original design from TangentFoxy (github.com/TangentFoxy), to try to not affect people's ability to recognize the app in their app drawer.
"coming soon…" Yeah, I'd say in about half an hour at IzzyOnDroid. Updater just started 5min ago here. And I bet it will also be RB again, which we'll see about an hour later then…

This #statue in #Prague Zahradní město is called A lying figure. But somebody "extended" the art and @anna renamed it "A Hungover woman". Like she is just going to throw up anytime soon. 😂
