À Minneapolis, des habitants viennent déposer leurs autocollants « J’ai voté » sur le mémorial d’Alex Pretti, tué par la police de l’immigration de Trump en janvier dernier.

Alex Pretti avait été tué alors qu’il tentait d’empêcher des agents de l’ICE d’arrêter des personnes en situation irrégulière. Sa mort avait choqué le monde entier et mis en lumière la violence des politiques migratoires d’extrême droite.

Un geste pour lui rendre hommage, dire qu’ils n’oublient pas et qu’ils continueront de se battre contre la politique raciste et autoritaire de Trump.

We shouldn’t be forced to use toxic platforms that track and profile us in order to get public information.

Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube track and profile their users so that they can target advertising towards them.

Their business models fuel online harms by pushing more and more extreme content to users. Despite this, these platforms are one of the primary ways that government departments share public information.

Tell your MP to support the EDM calling on the UK Government to ensure that all public sector social media content is published on open, decentralised and federated platforms!

@davidrevoy : The Avians have been rendered flightless! 😆

Found elsewhere; had to share

@davidgerard It looks like he’s talking about using LLMs for decompiling/reverse-engineering proprietary code (and using the output to write proper, maintainable code that replaces the proprietary blobs), rather than one-shotting slop that kinda works. From what I’ve seen, LLMs trained on codebases have vastly improved the ability to do this once prohibitively laborious activity, and there’s an arguable case for using them to enable adversarial interoperability, unlike vibecoding.

If your “anti-abuse” security requires your software to be closed source, then your software is not secure. Well built software can be open source, and still secure.

You imply that your code could not prevent abuse if it was known, so, no offense, but that code must be pretty bad!

I like the fediverse because it distributes power. I, as a user, have the power to choose my instance, choose my moderation, choose the structure that my social interactions are built upon (threads based, microblogs, etc) and if I dont like something, I have the power to change it. Thats why open source is such a perfect fit to that model. Closed source federation then, sounds to me like you didnt get it.

I’m blessed to be living my best life, and I believe in giving back. ❤️ I’m giving out $20K to the first 10 people who message me “GRACE.” I understand that times are hard, and I want to help ease someone’s financial burden. Send your message to @manager4302. 🙏

@GrapheneOS
Nice👍

@lrhodes gotta go elsewhere for a no-gender restroom 😔

The problem gets worse when technical people resist moving beyond their areas of expertise. New ideas are blocked because they don't fit existing assumptions, tools or workflows. Experimentation becomes difficult, alternatives get dismissed, and technical certainty takes the place of curiosity.

@allanb in the long run i think this will be bad for preservation. with a romhack, you changed the original, but you know what you did. "AI" recompile artifacts constitute randomly generated false versions of vintage games where the developer does not and does not have the ability to actually know what exactly they changed, and to the extent they do know is potentially not honest about what or how much they changed.

Tu sais que tu es vieux quand tu trouves que, quand même, c'est hyper confortable ces semelles de chaussure en gel.

@ai6yr infants are so vulnerable. They are too young to be vaccinated, so they rely on the rest of us to be vaccinated in order to protect them. That's the part that people don't get: it's not just so *you* don't get it; you are protecting others, too.

Hello world. :)

This post is written on https://normals.me and delivered to !fediverse@lemmy.world over #ActivityPub, so if you are reading it the basic plumbing works. Now let me explain what is this.

Normals is a forum with communities, threads, and questions with an accepted answer. It is a single instance, not software you can host, and the core is closed for anti-abuse reasons. The federation module will be published separately with implementation notes (FEP-67ff).

What federates today Every community is a Group actor following the Lemmy model (FEP-1b12). Follow @selfhosted@normals.me or any other community from Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin or Mastodon.

Posts and comments go both ways. Replies from your instance appear in the thread on Normals, replies from Normals go back to the origin.

Remote content is labelled with its origin, links back to it, and is never copied. Media loads from the source.

Signed fetches, so it works with instances that require authorized fetch. NodeInfo 2.1 is up.

Policies, in case they matter to you, it has no ads, and no paid reach, and of course no AI training on posts. AI crawlers blocked by default, public mod log with reasons, and no automated removals. Numbers at https://normals.me/transparency so please take a look.

If something from your instance shows up wrong here, or something from here shows up wrong on yours, reply with the URL and I'll fix it. Andy Piper mentioned NodeBB uses the same group model, if anyone runs a NodeBB instance I'd like to test against it, if possible.

I hope we all have fun. Cheers!
