Google demands every developer's identity in the name of security. Yet more than 50 Play Store apps hiding malware were installed 2.3 million times¹. Meanwhile, #FDroid, which builds every app from source and rejects black boxes, is under threat. This is not about security, it is about control. That is why I don't want to support this joke.

REEEEEEEEEE FUCKING GABBO YOU ASSHOLE YOU HAVE TO PUT IN WAFRN A LOT OF love and joy and make your loved ones feel comfy and safe

I'd be a terrible congress person because someone could easily bribe me with this or ... like a box of ants or something.

@djsundog That _kinda_ was the case in a bunch of countries until Reaganomics/Thatcherism/Neoliberalism flipped the table in the 1970s-1990s: (modulo some rose-tinted histrionics, and with a lot of shortcuts taken to tell the story in 3 paragraphs)

What was needed to run a modern society was mostly run by the state, or close to it (regulation), or partially to keep the rest of the crowd honest (e.g. in housing), at a loss if need be.

The "free market" still had plenty of room with the companies that provided the nice-to-haves etc. That also meant that the casino gamblers at Wall St and elsewhere couldn't endanger the necessities, only the extras (and with a social safety net, even the workers there were mostly inconvenienced)

And then the rumor came up that private businesses are "more efficient" (and that "efficiency" is a value in itself, and not merely a tool), and that persists to this day.

@Nerde

there are two conflicting sides of the copyright problem. If AI corps are slurping in copyrighted content and producing output based on that input, then either ① it's a way to do LLM-washing, so it would theoretically be legit to have an LLM ingest source-code to Windows or Photoshop or the Disney corpus of works and generate copyright-clean output, or ② it's a copyright violation and all the current LLM output produces a huge liability for existing AI companies and they can't launder Open Source/Copyleft code-bases' licenses away.

A legal decision will make a headache for powerful parties either way.

@phnt This is Mr. Fediverse and his followers. It should come as no surprise that the poll results show strong support for synced blocklists.

@baardhaveland I don’t control how the shop software works.

@Volu Merci. 🙂
Oui, on a quitté Paris pour bien plus grand et confortable, en bordure de forêt et de champs.

Aujourd'hui, on a rendu les clefs de notre appartement au cœur de Paris.

J'y suis arrivé pour la première fois à l'été 2016, avec des allers-retours divers.

J'y ai vécu mille vies, et autant d'amours, de désillusions, d'espoirs et de rêves, parfois réalisés.

Ça fait bizarre de me dire que cette fois, c'est vraiment fini.
Parce-que ce n'est pas une page qui se tourne mais un chapitre qui se clôt.

À l'aube de mon demi siècle, c'est une nouvelle vie qui commence.

Mazel Tov !

@8ball should I go to the gym?

@rail@social.flufftech.net

You were insulting a lot of people there, and im part of the people you have insulted.

At least I feel like that.

@exchgr At my year end performance reviews I should start insisting on annualized productivity. "Look at all these amazing things I did in March. Extrapolate that to the other 11 months and I'm your best employee."

@rail@social.flufftech.net

As example I have been working for almost 5 years on wafrn. And more people has joined in the development of it.

No funding from governments nor corporations (ok some credit on upcloud but that was just for some testing)

I have spent a lot of time on this project. Other devs have spent more time than me on their projects. And stuff like this hurts

@rail@social.flufftech.net

Yeah and that stuff hurts

RE: https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/117413631630202078

To be clearer, #Fedilab has been unpublished and is waiting for full removal.
You can't search for it anymore, but if you already installed it, you can still find it at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fedilab.android

Google's last reply, a few weeks ago, was that they need time. I want to delete my account, but first I need to remove my apps, and they refuse. That's why, as a European, I asked them to respect my rights under the GDPR.
