Discussion
We wrote for @theintercept.com last month about why we need a federal anti-SLAPP law. Red and blue states alike have passed these laws.
This should be an easy sell to Democrats as well as Republicans looking to distance themselves from the SLAPP-ster in chief.

This is worse than an PR stunt. To liken what algorithms do in a data center with what humans do in a university is just one more step in the "AI are people"-push and all the shit this contains.

I think I might stop reading The Odyssey because idk I'm on book 4 or 5 or something and they're still not talking about Odysseus!
It's like the world's long preamble.
It's literally Telemachus going about to various dinner parties to have a chat and generally talk about anything other than Odysseus. At one point the rulers of the house don't even bother to ask him who he is and they give him food and a bed for the night so they can ask him who the hell he is in the morning.
I just want one eyed giants and things.
Can we have Star Trek back?
Can we make that legislative policy???
@hacks4pancakes The Wachowskis doing Trek as a treat perhaps?

What is fucking WILD is that Aaron Swartz was hounded to his death for using a script to liberate this same info, at smaller scale, for free use by students

Kinda wondering if writing the ideas around convivial systems up and wrapping it in a project format to apply to Mozilla Foundation makes sense. https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/what-we-do/grantmaking/fellowship/2027-call-for-applications/ . But it reads like it's just all slop all day what they are looking for.
@tante yikes that is a depressing read

If the author’s profile is any indication, it’s likely Harmony was written using AI:
@alexisbushnell@toot.wales I don't have skin in this specific game since 2018, but it feels important to ask when I boost, it's trans-friendly, right?
(I boosted anyway on the default assumption that it is, but look forward to clarity.)
@katievm oh yes. Sucks that you have to ask but I totally understand why.
I personally wouldn't share anything that wasn't trans friendly. The guy who runs it is super lovely and really values acceptance and inclusion.

@Tusky @PaulDitz Hi, nice Tusky person. Will a fix to the notifications scrolling problem come soon? It's only been happening to me for a few months, but it seems to be getting worse – so bad that I need to finger out boosts and favorites if I want to scroll notifications without have it bounce back, jump around, etc. I don't want to change apps!! Thanks.
@msbellows @PaulDitz it's not the current thing we are working on but if some more people show up it might get done sooner
@user47 @postcrossing Thinking of trying the postcard thing out, with some postcard stamps I got and some garage sale postcards (from Haiti, of all places, lol). However, do I need to instead get international stamps!??!
@ai6yr here's a fun cheat sheet for the current values, screenshot of a screenshot of an IG post. LOL
Bank of America has a message for its customers: please stop giving your banking passwords to your AI assistant. If your robot does something daft with your money, that's your problem.
Also this week: a ransomware "rescue" firm accused of paying the criminals it promised not to pay, a story ProPublica's Renee Dudley reported on years before the indictment.
Huge thanks to Renee for joining me on Smashing Security this week!

Not just that but the dev couldn’t even be bothered to write their own bio, what are the chances they took the time to look over a single line of code or test anything at all?
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
