Itโ€™s all well and good to be worried about centralized social media when itโ€™s owned by fascists and there are troops on the streets and peaceful protesters are being kidnapped and killed and weโ€™re about to strike Iran, but next time, can we listen to the people sounding the alarm a little earlier?

Seriously, I don't think most Americans have put together that natalism, "naturalism," anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-vax, pedophilia, misogyny, queerphobia, eugenics, racism, anti-immigrant xenophobia, anti-woke, anti-DEI, and disempowering labor through automation and "AI" are all interlocking parts of modern fascist ideology.

Iโ€™ve heard it said
that todayโ€™s med students
are using AI
to cheat through med school
so you had better
start eating healthy,
but if you are really worried
about the quality
of your future doctor
you had also better
start wearing a mask.

Brazilโ€™s data protection authority (ANPD) became autonomous in 2022 and was further strengthened in 2025 as a full regulatory agency.

This signals growing enforcement maturity under LGPD, clearer regulatory authority, and long-term governance stability.

For companies operating in Brazil, privacy compliance is shifting from emerging requirement to strategic expectation.

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: Remember these cowards for years told you that it was too costly & complex to follow laws to keep you safe.

Tech bros when the law protects consumers: "It's too hard, there's nothing we can do"

Tech bros when the law wants them to narc to fascists: "We must comply right away, so tomorrow we're globally rolling out our new Buttverify system, our new ai agent that crawls up your anus and takes a picture to send to your country's Customs agency."

I'm reclaiming "hypothesis to theory" to convey my confidence instead of "theory to law".

"Law" has a lot of weight to the term that we simply don't get in life, even for well tested phenomenons that have a lot of "facts" behind them.

Most "facts" are proffered as solid and fixedโ€”when most of them have a bit of squish to them.

The world and our observations of them are very likely, probably what we think they are. But we might be wrong.

Theory conveys that better than law.

When Trees Become Art (14 Photos)

But what happens when artists use the deep roots, towering trunks, and living leaves of the forest as their medium? From monumental wooden sculptures in Mexico to carved tree trunks in Ghana, here are 14 incredible examples of nature and human creativity joining forces. ๐ŸŒฟ 1.

Another issue: Unclear protocol layers.

> I am not a fan of the idea that is a message-passing system; it's a read-write API.

I'm not sure what a "read-write API" is, really. It 's a fuzzy term, whereas message based systems have well-defined architecture patterns and a body of IT knowledge and practice to apply them in robust communication systems. A 'Message API' has a generic, consistent interface.

The overarching goal of AS/AP should be empowerment of the Solution developer so they can directly focus on building use cases for their application or business domain. They should not have to think about any of the intrinsics of the protocol, like particular GETs and POSTs used to model protocol capabilities in the HTTP transport layer.

Solution design then involves:

0. Model the domain
1. Data modeling, msg formats + validation
2. Define actor msg exchange patterns
3. Document design
--
4. Improve these steps. Add native protocol + tool support over time.

Amazon illegally imposed a wage freeze on unionized employees, according to a ruling by the B.C. Labour Relations Board.

โ€œAmazon wants to punish workers who have been actively engaged in bargaining a fair collective agreement. Amazon wants you to blame the union,โ€

Finally got a hold of the Orion Newby vs. Adelphi University judgment.

Link: nycourts.gov/REPORTER/3dseries

In short, Adelphi used Turnitin to accuse Orion, a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder, of using generative AI to write an essay. He was sanctioned and experienced harm. He spent over $100K in legal fees and won.

People with ASD have been reported to have higher rates of false positives from Turnitin's AI detector. Stop using Turnitin if you don't want lawsuits.

โš ๏ธ Update due to Security issue โš ๏ธ

It is strongly recommended to do a "guix pull", update all profiles. Restart the Guix Daemon, on Guix System reboot.

A potential security issue was identified in Guix's glibc package which impacts the Guix Daemon when run in privileged mode.

See the discussion on Codeberg for more details:

Last Friday marks an interesting thing. I received my first e-mail that has obviously been rewritten by an AI. I know this because person who sent it has an atrocious way of misspelling almost every word and his output is very disjointed and hard to follow.

Now I received something that was very polished. The business-casual of e-mail communication. It however did very little to the content, which was just has hard to follow, except now there was an added layer of the misunderstanding what it was about.

It did not make him feel any more professional, except how I couldn't even figure out what it was about.

โ€œSocial Security is going to be broke by 2033. Iโ€™ve been trying to tell everyone. Itโ€™s less than 7 years away. Instead of funding foreign wars and foreign countries, Social Security needs to be saved! If seniors canโ€™t collect their SS check the government should be burned down.โ€
