That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
What do you mean nobody wants to join another walled garden social app with real name requirement through a half gigabyte closed source app with a "trust me bro" guarantee for handing over identification?
Cannot agree more. W's whole premise is built on the (awful) idea of verification. This falls apart quickly when they are part of a larger network that doesn't have to comply with any of their stupid rules. Still cannot believe @ec.europa.eu fell for this.
AngryDutchman@angrydutchman.eurosky.social · 4d agoSo this is my little very much subjective rant about #wsocial and the stupid shenanigans they've pulled that have ticked me off.
PSA: please do not touch W Social. It's closed source, for-profit, and has already had numerous critical security vulnerabilities that sometimes took >1 week to patch. More context:

it's so cool how child social media addiction is a fake problem that everyone is using to make the adult internet worse via age surveillance, including new york state now apparently
I have to prepare a conference talk and I am yet again reminded that this is really freaking hard.
In the newest UIT INSIDE episode, @danabra.mov guides me through the layers of the AT Protocol: from at://URI and DID to PDS, repositories, relays, all the way up the stack to AppViews It's a bit technical, but Dan’s gift for clear analogies should make it approachable for anybody atproto-curious 🦋

I would like to bring more of the fruits of the AT Protocol to the people who don't care about protocols, which is most people. www.wrecka.ge/launching-a-...

The right questions to arrive with—and the right structure for what comes out of the interviews—are not completely obvious. So I’ve been spending some time thinking about clouds.

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

A brief comment on Codeberg’s new terms, and why a free-software host deciding which projects are welcome worries me more than the bans themselves.

Introducing Laguna S 2.1
Today we’re releasing Laguna S 2.1, a significant step forward in our development of models that pursue longer horizon work and make effective use of reasoning.

Joshua White@jrw14.whnc.me · 2w agoA little disappointed to finally log on to Bluesky at end of my work day to see not a single peep from all the AI-related people I follow about @poolsideai.bsky.social releasing Laguna S today. A 120b model that cleans the clock of models 3-4x its size. A model that can run on consumer hardware.
age verification & chat control in the name of "child safety" have been coming up again & again all my life. When will you stop trying to make 1984 happen?

724: Ask Dan Abramov Anything About AT Proto
If you're like Chris and understand a bit of the tech behind AT Proto but want to understand it at a deeper level, this episode is for you. How does it differ from straight up RSS and Mastodon, where is my identity being stored, how do I create a schema, what can be updated or modified later, is there going to be a PDS revolution, how does Standard.site fit into it all, and what else could we build with AT Proto?

Starting to read (well, listen to, really) "Dungeon Crawler Carl" today. Been really into the LitRPG genre lately and this should be a fun one
Good night to everyone working on making the web cool again
Youtube still trying to force football content onto me after I have never watched a single football video in my life and going through the effort of clicking "not interested" on all of them is driving me mad.
Hey everyone, I spent the last three years as a Trust and Safety professional researching traditional social media and decided to put words to my thoughts. I hope you find my findings enjoyable or intriguing.
Traditional Social Media as a Prison
Social media apps have become a vehicle for community building, world news, and political campaigns. As app owners have enmeshed themselves more with the state, the carceral logics that haunt marginalized communities offline, became a part of their digital realities online.

Imagine my face seeing a budget alert from AWS on my unused personal account saying my budget of 5$ was exceeded and the actual cost is 26M. That was certainly a fun way to start the Firday.
