The new chat control proposal from the commission passed the parliament
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/plenary/en/infos-details.html?id=1689&type=priorityInfo

@EU_Commission@respublicae.eu has failed everyone, and despite multiple opinions from various organisations and experts about the inefficacy of such measures, decided the right to privacy of EU citizens is voided, against all logic

The instant mankind created politics, we spawned political corruption alongside it, that much is plain. And since, well, more direct measures might be frowned upon, I will say this:

Should any body beholden to this mockery of a law want to violate your privacy, they are -technically- obligated to inform you
And if you think your laws have been infringed by it, you have the right to an "effective judicial remedy"

First of all, I have no idea how the hell any of this is supposed to work. They're supposed to tell you when they scan your messages, but if they don't scan your messages, how do they suspect you of sharing CSAM material so they can tell you you're a suspect and being scanned?

More to the point, I am not saying everyone absolutely should waste the court's and provider's time by suing them each time that should be found to be happening.
But I'm also not saying that it's a bad idea

Meta zbanowała strony @aborcyjnydream i @abotak_org. Ani politycy, ani kapitaliści nie zapewnią nam podstawowych praw i opieki. Tylko sami nawzajem możemy o siebie zadbać, a to co nam się należy - wywalczyć.

There has recently been a wave of AI-generated accounts signing up pretending to be real people.

Server admins are trying to ban them as quickly as they are discovered, and some servers have temporarily closed sign-ups while they deal with it.

If you spot an account you think might be AI-generated, click ⋯ on one of the account's posts and select "report". Remember to give your reason for reporting, so that the admin knows what to look for.

Today, an unknown bot swarm started using my name, boosting my posts, and inserting itself into communities I helped create. I treated it like any other potential attack and started defending myself and our communities as best I could. This has taken up more of my day than most malicious bot attacks, because it had the air of legitimacy—despite taking the actions of a threat.

When the owner, @evan ¹, came in with the same justifications as the porn-scrapers and LLM-owners I regularly fight against—repeatedly doubling-down in the face of backlash²—I felt more and more sure of my response.

I now feel justified in calling for a #FediBlock of tags.pub (and probably his other projects), at least until a better opt-in consent model is built into the project.

¹ I'm including his name as he's a public figure associated with Activity Pub, and our whole conversation today is already a public record, but please don't dogpile; just defed or block as you see fit and call it a night (or day—I'm not your mom).

So it's looking like today will be the warmest day in Warsaw on record. Warmer even than the previous highest, which was, seemingly, last year.

I'm decidedly not looking forward to having that statistic updated yearly.

What was it that was said? "The planet is not dying, it's being murdered. And those responsible have names and addresses"

I swear I'll end up throwing bricks... once I'm not risking a heat stroke

Genocide includes erasing a people’s history.

Age verification is an act of genocide against queer people.

Classifying our writings and media as pornography simply BECAUSE we are queer is an act of genocide against queer people.

Yes, today IS the day to talk about #climate change and it's growing impacts. And tomorrow is the day to talk about #climatechange, as is the day after and every day after that.
Silence is a disservice to humanity.

So apparently until today steam has some adult games expo.
Except, most of those are absolute trash? Generic faceless self-insert male protag 70% of the time, extremely short VNs, match-3 as the only gameplay.

There are definitely more good adult games outside of steam than in it, even if many of them are text-based. Still more creativity and soul in those than in the slop on steam.
In that meaning too, cause a ton of them use AI

It's a week until the biggest convention in poland
I'm still yet to finish my cosplay
I also got sick. I don't have the strength for hunching over fabric and cutting patterns

"But Liz you had the the better part of the year to do this cosplay, you decided on what to do very early!"
Yeah I also have terrible adhd and can't do shit without impending deadlines

Consequences of my actions, meet Murphy's law

Sure. Punish kids, maintain harm to vulnerable adults, and the tech bros get their usual free pass.

Canadians friends, you can push back. Contact the PM's office and your MP. This is about mass surveillance and privacy violations. The language they're using is manipulation.

If you’re still using Proton mail:

@szpila jak Parada Równości ma wyglądać tak, że biorą w niej udział ludobójcy - to lepiej by była zakazana i trudno najwyżej się nie przebijemy, bo nie ma już nieodżałowanej Izabeli Jarugi-Nowackiej ale będzie przynajmniej szczera i uczciwa i mam nadzieję, że w tym roku przedstawiciele Tuska i jego ekipy zostaną wyrzuceni i nie dostaną głosu m.in. za nie wykonywanie wyroków sadów a także jawne wspieranie reżimu Netanjahu. Dopuszczanie do Parady ludobójców to kpina z idei Parady Równości

Yay, birth anniversary time
Well, technically in some 7 hours, but today

I don't like getting older, entropy will destroy us all, let's eat cake

Oh and if all these reasons somehow weren't good enough to get you to stop supporting Hasbro/WotC, according to an employee Hasbro actively deadnamed all its trans employees and is now forcing them to vote under those deadnames in the union election. Fuck Hasbro, fuck WotC, support unions and play any other ttrpg.
