And remember that Zoom itself, in their T&C's, says that they will use all of the data flowing through their servers, as fodder for their AI training.

This means that Zoom are recording everything.

#STEM Problems - incl. most #Tech work and #Techies (is it correct? ✔️❌ ) ❓ 

STEM is focuses on everything else mostly. not human beings and their feelings.

Is that quite correct? (on first look❓) ✔️❌

That's the TLDR -

:rocket Please boost and comment if I'm wrong or right to get good comments... :rocket

TLDR 2:

/ is mostly not orientated or considerate of people themselves or their feelings - during or after 'work' (neither the workers who do work or what the work is effecting upon others).

@freemo I've mentioned you here because I feel like you have a good reply for the above distinction (the rest is just extra below but helps give micro-reasons that make the total premis).

Please boost and comment if I'm wrong or right...

I aim to correct as I go or realise why it's ok to ignore people and focus on Tech / STEM... as it seems to be proven or felt already that there is a quick limit to all tech and we reached there around the 2000's ! :)

====================

Further points are "➡️" marked:

The post is here because:

➡️ 1) if things are not for or with them (workers / those effected) in mind then that is a bigger problem than calculating the material things correctly unless really good work is done prior.

➡️ 2) I do care more than the average modern person it seems... about people... and because THEN it solves everything a lot better - even the material world can be solved but not without the people.

(i.e. NOT considering people is almost always worse / ignorant / feeding colder people / bastards / )

:win3_pbrush: I'm painting STEM it seems with 1 brush... 🖌️
BUT if you agree "STEM" itself is a grouped term of similar brushes quite deliberately similar because they do not include the people stuff first (or at all) then that similarly find that critical and a direct result of the problems and perspectives of that.

➡️ IF doing anything human orientated and anything to do with humans / humanity then those people's thoughts or even participation is needed in some way / level. Never near-0%.
IF it was much high like 50% then I could accept it a lot more.

Not being too extreme here but
➡️ when it's near-0 caring or cutting people out and treating them as blank pawns, then THIS IS a human problem FROM those kinds of perspective and faulty as a human result (might make sense as maths or tax but not for people and the right reasons at all).

➡️ Often STEM can HIDE people-related problems as a result of cutting it out (Africa's extracted metals, technological targeting etc)

So results can be false without the human voice or for very wrong reasons.

Another way to say it
➡️ without , people are counted the same.
The next bean increment is counted are exactly the same as the previous bean / human. 1...12,13...222... treating people as objects.

➡️ STEM is more of a perspective 1) financially and 2) as work practices internally and treats people themselves as objects.

➡️ "1" = same "1"?
To represent 1 person and the next as the same isn't quite right.

To represent 1 person in mostly 1 way as object-orientated design is generally not great ...

(Do tell me if a number or tax code represents you well (!) )

➡️ All your attributes and other "values" that you feel can be mostly cut off / skipped / is not important)

➡️ Computers can have correct results or but not at all for humans betterment / consent / consideration

STEM are good or ok-ish...
...for ✔️ computer-computer design and things without a soul

but

...it's a problem for
❌ computer-to-human-to-computer-back-to-human design

STEM is focussed mostly on everything else apart from human beings and their feelings.

and sometimes the whole point is lost as a result (such as social not being generally "social" or leaving it up to people who don't know how to socialise / make a real movement of change)

The effects are mostly done unto others rather than the "how do people feel about it at the time". The human factor and feelings at the time or later is largely missing / not part of the calculation or checking. It's more a material thing...

This makes a perfect tool skipping how people feel - both those calculating and those having the calculation done TO THEM.

STEM doesn't calculate or even deliberately likes to ignore the people doing the work or who it's done on... it's just done or expected or even demanded without more checks with the people. Similar to how aboriginal people and colonial mentality just say "ok now you're doing this" as a command (and conquer).

I think that's why STEM acronym are a group of only THOSE TYPES of tools because everyone wants to cut out how people feel.

If someone doesn't want to do it or has different feelings it's obviously more political (which is why people think Tech is not political but it just skips it a lot of the time).

⚠️ Please boost if I'm wrong or right...

Said because I care a bit more about people I guess... and that is usually not the most popular state given job (to care) or individually chosen way... Hmmm...

income tax
wealth tax
luxury goods tax
value added tax
financial transaction tax

what does that make life?

Fediverse currently is " the small circle which doesn't extend anywhere actively"... 

currently is " the small circle which doesn't extend anywhere actively to include participation of different types of others- and that is exactly how people want it
...to close their doors after... no matter what they boost."

A bit harsh perhaps - but don't seem to be the main here on and I think to ourselves out of all problems is a real way while stomps closer.

OH "BUT THE RISK?" ...
There is not and shouldn't be 0 risk way as that is the way to try and grow (people!) and obviously risk is included and unavoidable in finding answers / improving people and answers

(enough and coding - grow better people).

and I say more than almost all instead.

Can someone who is good at budgetting help me? My fucking browser is failing so hard I have got to sell user personal data

My employer has just announced the removal of all hybrid work so here goes. If you/your org is in need of an early career developer with professional experience in #php, #cSharp, and #react, I’m your guy! Non-professionally, I also have experience working with #rust, #lua, and #nix (individually). I can pick up new concepts fairly quickly and I’d say I communicate very well. I’ve worked as a developer for 2.5 years and before that I was in IT for about the same amount of time. Do your thing fedi #getFediHired

Ok the answer was on the README from the IronFox project. It has strict OCSP checking enabled, but the servers aren't always available and responsive so it'll fail. I disabled it and can connect to sites...

@Dreamweaver @boilingsteam GNOME Web with Apple's webkit. At least it will be a competition between Apple and Google, not a Google monopoly. Unlike #Firefox, Apple don't depend on Google or have the same power as Google on the web. Hopefully, this can cover us till browsers like verso or ladybird becomes usable.

So immediate switch, #LibreWolf on desktop, #IronFox on android.

Intermediate switch / fallback, GNOME Web.

Long term switch, in one or two years, Verso / Ladybird.

Many of you know that the administration is trying a lot of fuckery with US Passports and gender markers right now. They violated the Administrative Procedure Act by doing this without a comment period.

Right now, they are trying to cure the APA violation by having an after-the-fact comment period...

federalregister.gov/documents/

... you can go there RIGHT NOW and make your voice heard. The comments currently are overwhelmingly negative, opposing the administration's bigoted and harmful rule changes.

If you can, please go add your voice. You may think it will make no difference, but the courts can and will look at all of this. Your comment RIGHT NOW opposing passport sex marker nonsense can make you a part of yet another inevitable Trump loss in the court systems soon.

People problems are people refusing to act like people (Fediverse Techies included)... 

" All are people problems.

And most people problems are people refusing to act like people. "

+ for the way to self

NOT making friends
is currently not enough / is the cause that allows many baddies to rule.

Without us incrementing ourselves - what do you expect?

Make more attempts at trying more often. And mix your work / out of this instead of just talk about it and hate those that want that attention.

All of this violence for what?

FOR PROFIT!

More extractivism to lose ourselves... In our phones, in our to-do lists, in our overconsumption.

Many European governments are in the process of moving most of their INTERNAL communication to US controlled servers, in full view of the US intelligence apparatus. The political situation in the USA is however not going to get any less scary. Any (forced) migrations over summer might no longer be very wise. theregister.com/2025/02/26/eur

@david_chisnall @bert_hubert Thinking cryptpad could replace all of office after a year is somewhat optimistic. Or reveals a deep ignorance of how other people use computers, whichever is least offensive to you.
