Farvel Big Tech

That should be made clear to us, so we can be honest with our colleagues about what is being written.We therefore choose, effective immediately, not to participate in interviews until we have seen a reckoning with the way they write about us.10/10

@klgn sådan ville jeg også have det, hvis jeg ikke allerede var her

@mikkelensHvis det handler om nogen der ikke er på dansk Mastodon, så synes jeg også, det er okay. Jeg har bare meget på fornemmeren at det handler om nogen der er på dansk Mastodon.

@minimalparts I feel for you! This hype has only just started to invade my field for real during the last two years. I have tried to move myself into places where I can voice criticism but the hype train moves on. Everyone is afraid to lose some vaguely imagined advantage if they don’t keep up. I maintain that the way to keep up is to remain critical.Honestly, I wish this technology had not been invented. We don’t need tech that can halfway simulate what we are already good at. Sigh!

@fanden@SorenMRiis @infonauten Elsker alt ved denne tråd: fra Ulf der får tegneserier til sit nye hjem, til introduktionen af teser og testes i flere (mere eller mindre meningsfulde) relationer, til “ordvendt omstilling” 🥰

And there's the smaller scale wins, too. Honourable mention to the teenager whose reaction to our display on the anatomy of the clitoris was "I'm gonna get so good at fingering now". We're happy for you and your future partners.

@cwebber [from the ruling]: "It is fanciful (even perverse) to think that any reasonable objection to the presence of a person of the opposite sex could be grounded in (gender recognition certificate) GRC status or that a confidential GRC could make any difference at all."[from a pal]: So, orgs who can't conduct biological sex checks (so, almost all of them outside medical settings) have basically no choice but to use SelfId

@kudra @d4v @osma Well said.

@holm åh, så fint! 🥹 Ja, der er nok ikke andet at gøre end at håbe det bedste

@Eg0nJN Thelma & Louise er ikke glemt, den er bare forsvundet lidt i hukommelsens tåge

@Camlarsch Ja, det var mest ment retorisk (vi elskede ham i Shōgun, jf. alt-teksten)

@cwebber I’m designing a game about this

@abekonge @teknologisk Bravo!

@cwebber Indeed. White House report on invoking the Insurrection Act is due out this weekend. https://wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what-to-do-if-the-insurrection-act-is-invoked/

I recognize that this makes the Delete activity work differently for S2S than it does C2S, which is to say that a user or client cannot distinguish between "soft delete" and "hard delete" this way. Otherwise, the "cache invalidation" idea is a sensible one.

@liaizon “It will not be simple for Bluesky to scale up to the size of X and Facebook, says Andy Tattersall, an information specialist at the University of Sheffield.He ways it will have to strike a balance between "generating revenue, keeping users safe, and moderating content, which is much easier said than done".”WHO CARES, no one sane needs or wants to be that scale. It’s striking how difficult it is to have a public conversation about this that is not 100% corporate grindset.

@nazokiyoubinbou It is weird, but I guess it's just that the Mastodon developers have very limited resources and other features have taken priority?There is a discussion of it at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/10088

@filmloftet I can relate! And thanks for sharing. I’ve been sober now for 3 steady months. Feels great getting rid of all those terrible mornings with a dark depressive hangover … ️

@jk this is true because all the other ones which *appear* to have horses actually have ponies or hornless unicorns
