"Another farmworker, Gabriel, who came out to speak, brought a backpack full of yellow envelopes containing all his tax documents over the decades.

“These are my taxes. I have been paying my taxes for 19 years, without rights,” he said, as he pulled out each envelope and threw them on the ground in front of the podium. “I’ve been doing this year, after year, after year. For a promise that I would get my citizenship, this is my testimony that I am not a criminal. We are not criminals.”"

Yesterday was my first bad day on Mastodon, and what happened to me could happen to you, so let me explain what went down, and how I got blocked by a lot of people.

In March, I wrote a post critical of Musk (picture 1). I then asked another Mastodon user (Harriett) whom I have found friendly, if she would help me translate a Danish phrase to English, and linked to the Musk post where the phrase would be relevant.

But yesterday — 4 months later — that blew up in my face. Here is how…

whoa.

This story made me discover the site aicodinghorrors.com/

One genuine question: how does this person / dev team not have automatic backups of the database on another server (that the rogue AI can’t access)?

This seems enormously significant, and I hope it actually is.

1/ Donald Trump's obsessive defensiveness about Jeffrey Epstein is causing a deep rupture within his far-right base.

It's an echo of the last time this happened, when he tried to tell MAGA to get vaccinated. They didn't listen.

This episode is also related to Elon Musk's chatbot Grok going into a "MechaHitler" rant.

Reactionaries have built an anti-epistemology and the leaders can't control it 🧵

@vick21 @drew They do not believe in logic. They believe in their own superiority. It is a child-like epistemology that is called "intuitionism" by some scholars plus.flux.community/p/americas…

Thank you to all the people who made DebConf 25 possible! The DebConf organisation team, the Local Team, Debian Video Team, our speakers, volunteers, and attendees. Would you like to join for organising the next DebConf? If so visit wiki.debian.org/DebConf/26 and contact the DebConf team. #debian #debconf25 #debconf26 #debianfrance #brest

I don't know if anybody noticed #ZeroFS yet, but it seems there is a completely user space-implementation of #NFS and #blockstorage on top of #S3 #objectstorage: github.com/Barre/zerofs

Including a demo running #ZFS on top of it which essentially allows geo-redundant ZFS volumes: asciinema.org/a/728234 & github.com/Barre/zerofs?tab=re…

I don't see no #FreeBSD port yet, but if that really works it would be absolutely awesome.

The Orbit Player user guide/manual is now released. It is located on the Orbit player support page, which I had to google to find. The Orbit player and Orbit speak are not listed on the Orbit research support page but all or I think most of their other products are. Googling has been the only way I have been able to find any support pages for the player or speak. Player support page is linked below. Find the heading documentation, hit the link download player user guide and a page will be loaded where you can choose your format. Thoughts on the manual in next post.

See you all at Santa Fe, Argentina next year for DebConf 26! #debian #debconf25 #debconf26 #debianfrance #brest

stole your meme, yadda yadda cuz GLUE PEOPLE is who we once called ELDERS.

a hallmark of #fascism is the belief #history is a thing that lives outside of us; and that, thru violent means, only the “winners” write and impose as The Truth.

but History isn’t a thing.

history exists in being, living, doing.

books, archives, GIT repos are great, but give us a false sense of security. when “life happens”, we need Elders to wing solutions.

there is no institutional memory, only Elders.

Montreal transit: ARTM awards $146M contract to replace OPUS system

ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/ar…

Because what we need is more bloat and privacy infringing tech, and e-waste instead of better transit.

This from the same that still don't want to provide a contract to their workers.

At 14:00 DebConf Time (12:00 UTC), the "Salsa CI BoF" will be held in Grand amphi, and at 15:00 the "Bits from APT" will inform us about APT news (APT 3.0 is out!). In Petit amphi two sessions around Rust: at 14:00 the talk "Rust Packaging in Debian" followed by "New Directions in Rust packaging - workshop" at 15:00 debconf25.debconf.org/schedule… #debian #debconf25 #debianfrance #brest

Edit: Click through for the typical BS govt response that’s been added… 🙄

Are you in the UK and opposed to providing ID to use social media in the coming weeks?

There’s an official parliament petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, and it’s already at 13,000 signatures and growing: petition.parliament.uk/petitio…

Ah cool, Archlinux had another oopsie-whoopsie that was only communicated on the mailing lists.

They found malware on the AUR. Reminder that anyone can put stuff on the AUR and when an AUR client offers to let you inspect the package build scripts, it's because it's no one's job to make sure the package is safe.

"But people tell me to install stuff off the AUR all the time and I'm no dev that can understand these scripts" -- Yup! This is one of Arch's primary problems. It's why they make it non-trivial to bootstrap into getting stuff off AUR to begin with, but that's not enough when 98% of Arch users need something off it.

Weh.
