Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

@julieofthespirits Agreed top to bottom.

A side branch: I’m newly frustrated by the way “concentration camp” has become synonymous with “death camp.” The distinction matters because the Nazis operated concentration camps for many years before they turned them into death camps; the original official plan was to •deport• all the Jews from Europe. It turned into mass killing only when deporting that many people proved impossible. And by missing that distinction and forgetting that history, we fail to notice that (1) DHS is most certainly building and operating concentration camps, (2) they are not death camps yet, and (3) this trajectory is exactly how death camps eventually came about under the Nazis. So we miss both the urgency •and• the possibility of action!

Patreon is lying again, and blaming Apple, again.

Once again, Patreon is going to strong-arm all of us into "charge at the moment of sign-up" instead of "charge on the first of the month." They have wanted this for years, and once again they are saying that Apple has given them cover to demand it.

Here's what I wrote when they tried to pull this shit a year and a half ago and then chickened out:

• gifv: A 3D render of a series of large red cones floating over a dreamlike, shiny, tiled landscape. The cones have chrome swirls going around the back, and have slices cut out of them, and a bright green cone of energy can be seen inside. The tip of the cones are touching a water-like surface above, creating ripples that emanate outward. The water/sky is a deep blue and the ground tiles are purple, fading to blue in the distance, before fading to a bright yellow horizon. Shiny purple bubbles are rising from the tiles in the distance.

Celebs say TikTok censored them after calling out ICE:

"In her Instagram Stories, Eilish posted a screenshot of Finneas’ anti-ICE TikTok video that showed him only having 114 likes, writing that “TikTok is silencing people btw.”"

Even if I have to hold my nose, I believe celebrities calling out corporate social media is largely a good thing.

@davidgerard The “gatcha" model is definitely a part of it.

It's probably too soon to say anything definitive about AI psychosis. It's above my pay grade to know if this is pop-sci or a real thing.

That said, the things CEO and other executives are saying out loud to an audience is, at least, concerning.

I kinda sorta abandoned the I ❤️ Websites initiative 😬. But today, I went back to its omg.lol page and noticed that I have 4 years of hosting pre-paid. I'm not sure if I did that or not??

Anyway, it's a sign for me to stick with it. Give me grace I'm trying :)

just wanted to put out there: the initial vector for this #techbros dystopian hellscape was Mickey Mouse.

extending copyright years to appease the #Disney #media oligarchy, led to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act; which legalized extrajudicial digital “shoot first, ask later” provisions like blackholing sites SUSPECTED of infringement or using DRM as wiretapping w/o subpoenas.

any Boycott, Divest & Sanction movement against US tech needs to start with Disney.

🤔Is ICE bad because their agents are brutish and violent? Individual hate?

Or is ICE bad because their mission is ethnic cleansing? Systemic hate?

You can be more efficient with your systemic deportations, if you are *slightly* less brutish.

If we replace Bovino for Homan, is that an improvement?

ICE is crashing out these days because for all their increased budget, and fancy SS style trench coats, and raids on elementary schools, they still can't match the scaled efficiency of deportations that previous administrations could.

Do... do you know who accomplished those scaled deportations?
