The Hidden Benefits of Large Science Projects https://www.universetoday.com/161799/the-hidden-benefits-of-large-science-projects/

Cybercriminals now need as little as three seconds of someone's voice to successfully clone it and make it usable in a scam call thanks to generative AI tools, researchers at McAfee have found. https://t.co/3zVwjK84Ly

If all y'all want to take away any one lesson from watching site after site enshittify, it should be this:

Never. Trust. The. Money. Men.

Sooner or later, they're going to demand you take your great product that you worked so hard on, all the users and communities you've carefully built, and squeeze all the joy and life out of them in exchange for profits. And if you won't do it, they'll replace you with someone who will.

We desperately need to find better ways to fund and manage our communities and public spaces. Crowdfunding. Co-ops. Nonprofits. Whatever. But stop trusting VCs with your brilliant ideas to try and meet a need that the world has. Eventually, they're going to fuck you and everyone who trusted you over in order to get their money.

Do You Have Interns This Summer? Well, Here's Some Valuable Business Advice!

FUCK YOU, PAY PEOPLE TO WORK INSTEAD OF PERPETUATING A SYSTEM BASED ON CLASS-PRIVILEGE WHERE ONLY KIDS WHOSE FAMILIES HAVE ENOUGH CASH TO SUPPORT THEM WHILE THEY WORK FOR FREE GET THE VALUABLE TRAINING AND CONNECTIONS THAT COME WITH INTERNSHIPS

Well regulated militia strikes again

A dad shot and killed his three children in Ohio.

They were ages 3, 4 and 7.

In 2023 so far:
Deaths due to gun violence 19,519
Mass shootings 295
Children under 18 murdered 810

This won’t stop on its own.

It’s the guns.

@zleap As I mentioned else where, I'm literally in the airport in Oslo coming back from a EU-backed conference where we showed a PoC of Zero/First-party only recommendations and the right to be forgotten built into IKEA.com - I'm very familiar with what Reddit have just done.

GOOGLE INTERVIEWER: why do you want a job at Google?
ME: well, i love writing software
INTERVIEWER: what do you think makes you a good fit for Google?
ME: i have ADHD so i always get bored of my projects and never touch them again
INTERVIEWER: great, when can you start

🔥 We are excited to let everyone know that our full website is now live!

We hope this will be an easy way for new users to get started with #Mastodon & join the wider #Fediverse & an organizing hub to build & spread a better, more open social web of ALL fediverse offerings.

With the #RedditMigration in full force & the likely #Barcelona launch bringing new attention to the Fediverse it is all the more urgent to help #TakeBackSocial

Y’all ever find yourself thinking about the parents of the kids of Sandy Hook? Or Uvalde, Parkland, & Covenant. Or Columbine, Santa Fe, & more?

We may move on—but their lives are frozen in time. Forever fixated on a moment they can never change.😓

It just doesn’t have to be this way.

Or to be able to take care of each other; the more atomized we are, the more vulnerable we are.

Florida #education officials (DeSantis minions) again target an Advanced Placement course—this time on psychology—because it includes content on sexuality and identity as is standard in a college level class. College Board is holding firm.

Signs of the #RedditMigration in action:
Three of the top 6 #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers.

That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength.

Sooo, is anyone still thinking of laying down $3,500 for that new Apple VisionPro?
For about the same amount of money, you may come with me for a week in Spain, and help us out on a humanitarian project building a wetland.
That money will give you a great, all immersive experience, while also giving you the natural healing power of nature and gratitude.
Help me, help others and yourself. ❤️🙏🏼💫💦🌳 🦆

“The Earth is not dying-it is being killed. And the people who are killing it have names and addresses.”
— Utah Phillips

Yesterday, I posted an excerpt from a speech by Abraham Lincoln from 1859 in which he critically compared wage labor—especially life-long wage labor with no hope of ever graduating to independent production—to chattel slavery.

As hard as it is to imagine today, there was once a robust public debate in the US in which words like “capital” and “labor” and “wage slavery” were explicitly used. Today, the slightest whiff of these would have you accused of communism and brayed off the public stage. Our discourse has gotten *more* restricted over time.
