I'll need to revisit my resume at some point. I hope they dont ask for cover letters- that's B.S.

@chjara@mk.absturztau.be @Paradox
I think the $20+ is a matter of placement. There must be a $30 somewhere.

Either way- this would be very confusing if taken seriously.

@novichan @hexer
after some quick research, disabling read receipts its not a default thing allowed by Telegram as its supposedly against its ToS (i dont know, i dont use it myself). However, unofficial apps may have such a feature alongside with things like "ghost mode".

@novichan @hexer
why not just assume they havent read it unless they respond?

@novichan @hexer
I wasn't aware of any bugs associated with them. What kind?

@fluffy RT 🔒 (with permission):

"Ok so, I just read through all 173 pages of the unredacted Google antitrust filing and I have to say that either Google is screwed or society is screwed, we'll find out which.

Unordered list of fun things I learned:"
🔒"google has a secret deal with facebook called "Jedi Blue" that they knew was so illegal that it has a whole section describing how they'll cover for each other if anyone finds out
- google appears to have a team called gTrade that is wholly dedicated to ad market manipulation"
🔒"- Google had a plan called "Project NERA" to turn the web into a walled garden they called "Not Owned But Operated". A core component of this was the forced logins to the chrome browser you've probably experienced (surprise!)"
🔒"- Google is willing to do almost everything to prevent people from circumventing their ad exchanges
- This is what AMP is about
- Google habitually insider trades on their ad exchanges in every way you can think of and every way you can't. Too many ways to list here."
🔒"- The exchanges are also rigged so that google wins on bids where they aren't the highest bidder.
- A large amount of people inside google are aware of all of this
- If Google ever tells you some change will increase your ad yield, run. In fact anything they tell you is a lie"
🔒"- Google has worked with Facebook and Microsoft to discourage them from increasing user privacy, lamenting occasions where they prioritized their reputation over their collective business interest"

@mia
I mean they had it coming- their dog keeps shitting on my lawn, I'll leave something else dark and foreboding on theirs!

@icedquinn
I have coworkers that keep their laptops closed and dock them and just rely on external monitors.

No sources....?

This #TruthSocial software #theft story is huge!

Its international scale.

A ex-president attempts to start a #socialPlatform supposedly to support truth by #lying about the origins of the software. Labelling the #Mastodon icon a mere bug, and labelling the platform proprietary, and not upholding the #AGPL license.

Is everyone looking forward to seeing this story in the international news, where it should be?

It deserves a proper hashtag – #mastoGate?
