It has been 1000 Days since the Israeli occupation started its genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
According to the Health Ministry, over 73,066 Palestinians have been killed and 173,514 others injured since October 2023.
David Sacks argues that while Anthropic talks about open source models being “dangerous”, the real danger to businesses is deploying Claude and Anthropic uses your IP to compete with you.
He implies this is what happened with Figma and Claude Design.
The Rhineland bastards is a small, big history of Africans being torn away, sent thousands of kilometers away to die in the name of their own oppressors, and then being used as a simbol of moral corruption.
Stuff like the Kalergi plan has been fueled by this kind of BS and hatred for decades, where white supremacy, antisemitism, all meet. A lot of the hatred we see today has the same old roots made of eurocentric racism, moral superiority, distorted excitement for genetics purism. The oppression on Africans is primarily on flesh and possession of their bodies, and it had been the case for centuries. I wish for #Africans a new start, a new conception of bodies and identity based on their own collective shared understanding and will.

I'm planning on going to more events in the next six months. Any other suggestions? https://substrate.dougbelshaw.com/events-shortlist-june-2026-to-february-2027
Ho sviluppato una bozza provvisoria da rivedere e ridiscutere, con una nuova tassonomia per distinguere tra Ebrei, israeliani, Sionisti e Colonialisti, e capire tutte le diverse combinazioni di questi stati interiori, geografici, politici e mentali, per mettere a fuoco la nostra contestazione politica e distinguere tra chi va rispettato, chi va contestato e chi va messo in condizioni di non nuocere e/o in galera. Il file aperto ai commenti lo trovate a questo link:

High-school students in the Gaza Strip have begun taking their final secondary school (Tawjihi) examinations online for the third consecutive year, after many schools across the territory were destroyed during the Israeli genocide and many others were converted into shelters for displaced families.
Is this the first time a major service has removed end-to-end encryption instead of adding it? Why Instagram?

Microsoft had full access to the same technology as ChatGPT and couldn’t turn Copilot into a decent AI chatbot to save their lives.
It’s a testament to how culture eats strategy for breakfast. Building good consumer products is simply not in Microsoft’s DNA, even if you spoonfeed them the ingredients.
Here's your reminder to check on your colleagues, friends and yourself about #burnout and #mobbing situations at #work.
Here's what to watch for:
:blobfoxshocked: Work keeps piling up, but support doesn't
:blobfoxtableflip: No control over how you do things
:blobfoxpeek: Work and efforts go unrecognized
:blobfoxpatsad: No sense of belonging
:blobfoxupsidedowndizzy: It feels personal, and you blame yourself
Burnout creeps in quietly, but positive #empathy can do wonders!
Talk about it, don't pretend it's normal. Bring it up in your team, start a retro to diagnose it together, involve your #union if needed.
Thank you for the attention!
#Wsocial : We don't do #ElonMusk. #Nazis are very welcome on our platform but they must be European.
@EUCommission President: Yay, we'll join Wsocial the new European unicorn or something! 🎉

Dear Fedi friends,
Apologies for another toot about #WSocial but I am genuinely shaking right now.
The @EUCommission and its president Ursula von der Leyen have recently migrated their ATproto (Bluesky) accounts to W Social.
I cannot fathom why they would pick a private enterprise whose leaders didn't even have ATproto accounts 3 months ago... and who are so open to having their users' data mined to train European AI models.
My articles on them:

Wow. Just wow.
ATproto [wimpy little dog]: “You need to host your own PDS, relay, firehose and moderation (amongst other things). It takes money, resources and expertise.”
ActivityPub [big bodybuilder-looking dog]: “Each server is self-sufficient. Even if there were only two random servers left and the entire rest of the Fediverse vanished into thin air, those two remaining servers would still work as normal. Also, you can run a server on an old laptop in your living room.”
