It's weird how all these companies are firing people for being hostile to fascists instead of firing fascists for being hostile to everyone.

#enshittification

Next month, Microsoft will begin automatically installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows devices outside of the EEA region that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps, Bleeping Computer writes.

"The Microsoft 365 Copilot app integrates the AI-powered Copilot assistant with Microsoft 365 suite apps, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as other features like Notebooks and AI agents.

"Redmond also advised admins to notify their organizations' helpdesk teams and users before the app is forcibly installed on their devices "to reduce confusion and support requests."

"The rollout will start in early October and be completed by mid-November; however, the Microsoft 365 Copilot app will not be installed on systems within the European Economic Area (EEA)."

The new AI mantra: You want it. You get it. We got what you need. You ain't gotta sweat it; we're gonna make you bleed.

🤦‍♂️ Why didn't I know about Masto-FE (🦥 flavour) before?

I've been searching for weeks for a good web client for my #GoToSocial instance – and then I finally actually read the text on the login page. 🙄

Classic case of missing the obvious! 🌳

So I quickly set up a new container with #MastoFE in #Proxmox and... nice! 🚀

Really like it! It's the familiar Mastodon web client (which is pretty good), but fully optimized for #GTS.

Running #selfhosted from my #homelab as usual - #privacy matters too much to trust anybody else.

Das Interface zeigt mehrere vertikale Spalten mit verschiedenen Inhalten: Die linke Spalte enthält die Timeline mit Posts von verschiedenen Benutzern, einschließlich Textnachrichten und geteilten Inhalten. In der Mitte sind weitere Spalten mit Benachrichtigungen, Erwähnungen und anderen Feed-Kategorien zu sehen. Die rechte Seite zeigt zusätzliche Spalten mit verschiedenen Listen und Inhalten. In der unteren linken Ecke ist das charakteristische Mastodon-Mammut-Logo sichtbar. Der gesamte Bildschirm zeigt eine Multi-Column-Ansicht, die typisch für fortgeschrittene Mastodon-Clients oder Web-Interfaces ist, mit verschiedenen Social-Media-Posts, Hashtags und Nutzerinteraktionen in deutscher Sprache.

Meet Abdullah, a Palestinian Surgeon Volunteering in the Gaza Strip. He has always wanted to be in the medical field, inspired directly by his community.

Meet Nadeen, a 20 year old palestinian, third-year Dental student at Al Azhar University. It has been her childhood dream to be a dentist, and with hard work, she achieved an amazing 98.1% in Tawjihi (a national secondary school examination in Jordan and Palestine). Due to the genocide, she is without her books, dental equipments, and essentials such as clothes. Judging from her fundraiser, she's stuck in Rafah. If possible, contribute in any way to her fundraiser so that she can support her family through the genocide.
