@miah @thegibson My elitist bias blinded me of this obvious reality until I read about the John Deere nonsense:https://doctorow.medium.com/about-those-kill-switched-ukrainian-tractors-bc93f471b9c8

@notspookypip @aral This is my summary:There is no such thing as good Big Tech, yet Mozilla believes there is and wants to be a good Big Tech company. Mozilla isn't nearly as reformed as they imagine themselves to be. Mozilla imagines themselves ethical, but they are much closer to their tech bro origins than they admit to themselves or the world.They took years to oust their homophobic CEO (who now runs the Brave Browser corp. so, you know, don't use that browser or boost that company).

@notspookypip @aral The specific issue is them launching their own AI initiative, positioning themselves as uniquely suited to do it ethically. When what they're doing is chasing a fad.They would better serve the community to invest the millions of dollars that they announced to fund this new mozilla[.]ai, instead into AI countermeasures to protect people from the unethical and dangerous state of the art.The current AI push is VC desperation & snake oil after NFT and crypto collapsed.

@notspookypip @aral TL;DR — looks a lot like Mozilla is trying to replicate what Apple did with ad surveillance, and trick us into thinking of them as being on our side

@latelesley @raineer @socketwench Yes.Aspects of the underlying technology — both at the protocol level and how it's been implemented & deployed — presuppose scale and disadvantage smaller instances:- outright infrastructure cost- greater moderation burden on those who prioritize safety over growth which also tend to be smaller instances who e.g. bear the brunt of big instances' lackluster moderation- by, e.g., considering the problem of DDOS as solved by paying Cloudflare, Fastly, etc.

@twizzt @loren bits of marsh electron tunnel into all edible marshmallows, even the synthetic ingredient ones. That was the deal struck by the Bullfrog with the Swamp Queen when she blessed us with the mallow o’ the marsh all those centuries ago.

@lowqualityfacts I don't think it's great to claim someone else's work as your own even if that claim is a "low quality fact" in and of itself. I don't like that in the face of rampant creator theft and now automated plagiarism.🎨 Otterly Human🔗 https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/otterly-human/fox-news/viewer?title_no=408780&episode_no=29

#Boeing is killing whistleblowers like they're #Russian dissidents, so please DO keep with the #guillotine imagery. The oligarchs are afraid. That's why they're killing us. They need to be more afraid, though.As far as #Boeing executives go, we're past the point of intimidation. Some Boeing execs and probably some #shareholders need to die to make this right. They aren't going to stop killing us otherwise.

If I believed laws would be upheld and executives put in prison, I would accept that. But we're past that point if you've been paying attention. #Capitalism is over. We're witnessing a new era of #Mercantilism that the powerful are trying to bring about. Boeing is doing a flex; they want to appear sovereign and above being governed by us.If we band together and organize, we are more powerful than #Boeing. We could always try a strike if you're feeling sympathetic towards #Billionaire necks.

@Radical_EgoComI built a lending library in my front yard and filled it with books until neighbors started filling it with books, too.
