@sundogplanets so they are enchancing market for their own products? Sending more labs/telescopes into space -> outside of musks shit -> using musks rockets?

@racheltobac I ended up opting out of LinkedIn. It's nice to keep track of former coworkers but it seemed like it was mostly headhunters who couldn't be bothered to read your profile spamming you with unrelated jobs.

@racheltobac I wonder what result happens to people that were auto enrolled and then turned it off - I assume all that data was already batched and fed into models immediately and this setting only controls future data, which doesn't feel very "opt-out", it feels like no option at all.

@racheltobac rather than simply canceling your LinkedIn, which is not easy, I advise people to poison it months in advance before they try deleting.

So I filled my undeletable profile with crazy wrong absurd shit, wacky job titles, impossible tenures at companies that no longer exist, gibberish, and cat pictures.

That way, when you try "deleting" it, which would only serve to have them archive it, they are left with worthless crap to train AI on.

Facebook, too.

It's fun!

A group of Indigenous community members walked roughly seven miles in memoriam of a massacre that took place where a lithium mine is under construction north of Winnemucca on Saturday.

The Green Transition is coming after the last of the Indigenous, last of the wildlife. The imperialists and colonialists always found a way to be righteous in their depravity. The mining oligarchs used to ride under the cloak of religion. Now they ride under the cloak of environmentalism

I recently read on HackerNews about a new trend called “#buildless #websites with zero dependencies".
The main takeaway is that your future self will thank you for not having to maintain build chains and fix broken dependencies.

... so I guess I did the right thing with plain HTML and (S)FTP for the last ~20 years. 🤣

Thanks all for your comments on VPS hosting. I’m going to give https://contabo.com/ a go 🙌 the Sydney location and compute value for money is pretty sharp 👌

@gerrymcgovern Pump the water out of the air near areas that flood. Not out of the aquifers that take decades to refill. Show me that tech.

Who was Headphone Jack?

I keep seeing webmasters talking about how to block AI scrapers (through user agents and IP blocks) and not enough webmasters talking about the far better option of rigging their site to return complete gibberish or transgender werewolf erotica* when AI scrapers are detected.

*depending on which one you think is funnier to poison the AI models with

@thiswomanswerk Haïti is owed a lot of money, and excuses, India was looted for $45 trillion by the brithish during from 1765 to 1938. Im not sure how much Spain owes my country and Latam. The issue is also that its ongoing: Spanish banks make their bigger profits in Mexico, mines, cheap labor... Europe and the US largely live on the global south backs, but do have a lot to say about immigration of course. F'd up

@thiswomanswerk is that adjusted for inflation bc it actually sounds kinda low.

Anyone else feel like whenever something breaks the only recourse is to buy the newer, much shittier version of that same thing, because nobody makes anything to the quality standard of the old broken one anymore?

Best of both worlds!
