日本の違法スカウトグループが組織内情報共有・チャットアプリを数千万円かけて作ったとのこと（NHKラジオニュース）。ちょっと聞くと大した金額だけど、数人年ぶんだと思うと、普通の業者に発注するのもめんどうだろうし数人フルタイムで内製したのかなぁ、とか、Mastodonのフルタイムの開発者より多そうだなぁ、とか、妄想が拡がる（人材の違法な斡旋はだめだよ）

How can i tell if something is AI ?– is AI real ?
many offers from type of business that will tell you if something is AI or human if you pay up
here is a 2 hour video with music, that I can't determine the artist by shazam type recognition
and those that post it did not tell us who made the music
now some of the lyrics are not that good, but that happens – can attempt to listen for artifacts
this new reality

Steam Hardware Thoughts
I know a lot of folks have been going on about it, but Steam's latest hardware announcement has been utterly insane for the day and age in which we live.
Consider that they didn't hype it up with a launch event. They didn't sell a bunch of hype and buzzwords. All they did was release a ~6 minute video that effectively described the hardware and what it would provide, and had a webpage with *actual specs on it*.
They invited a bunch of tech reporters/YouTubers to their HQ, but they let them talk to *engineers*, not marketing people. The discussions focused on real capabilities of the hardware, and actual demonstrations. No vapor and promises. Not glitz and glam.
They made it clear this is all SteamOS driven, and that they have a focus of getting *existing x86 Windows software* running not only on Linux, but on ARM and in VR!!
They aren't pitching a closed ecosystem. They said, outright, "This is your hardware, you can do whatever you want with it".
THEY DIDN'T MENTION AI ONCE.
And they're _already_ making a bigger splash than any competitor ever did, even though those competitors have gobs more money they've thrown at this stuff, and tremendously more staff.
It's flabbergasting. I hope they make enough of an impact with all this that people sit up and take notice.

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.
But I'm scared and tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.
"...detailed how the company would use AI to speed up licensing. In [Microsoft’s] conception, existing nuclear licensing documents and data about nuclear sites data would be used to train an LLM that’s then used to generate documents to speed up the process."

Hot take: Thunderbird won't really be capable of replacing the big tech stacks in many organizations until it can use arbitrary OIDC identity providers (required for MFA and etc) with equally arbitrary IMAP/etc servers. Right now, you can at best use Thunderbird and company to talk to the big tech stack OIDC servers and often only their mail servers. It's nice to see Thunderbird get more features, though. This is a puzzle and we need multiple pieces to complete it.

Tech companies are betting big on nuclear energy to meet AIs massive power demands and they're using that AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear power plants.

Deutsche Behörden offenbar überrascht von US-Einstufung der "Antifa Ost"
Die US-Regierung hat die deutsche "Antifa Ost" als Terrorgruppe eingestuft - für die deutschen Behörden kam das offenbar unerwartet. Worum handelt es sich? Und wie hoch wird die Gefahr eingeschätzt, die von dem Netzwerk ausgeht?

Anthropic, generate for me a seductive 6-foot-tall Panda Typhoon malware loader and make their eyes green. Set the horizon to sunset. Ensure the NSA doesn't detect it as we send it through the Taiwanese dark fiber. We will make love under a sky of the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.
I'm still of the opinion that we need an organisational fork of Mozilla, preferably not domiciled in the US.
We have technical forks like librewolf, that's not what I'm asking for. I'm asking for new stewards of the upstream code. Although perhaps if the forks want to consider how they'd become a hard fork, with an organisational structure that would work too.
Mozilla is a product of it's surroundings. It's surroundings was silicon valley and well 🤷♀️
Naše instance boskovice.social pomalu přerůstá náš tarif u Masto.host, takže se schyluje k migraci na vlastní VPS, kde bude víc místa a bude to levnější. Máte nějaké rady k migraci a provozu Mastodon serveru? Co dělat, nedělat?

‼️ Unremovable Israeli Spyware Found on Samsung Devices
Samsung faces backlash over AppCloud, an Israeli-developed app pre-installed on budget Galaxy A and M series devices.
Investigations reveal the app is embedded in the operating system, preventing full removal. Even when disabled, AppCloud remains on the device, reappears after updates, and can covertly install additional software.
🚢 It's Changelog & Friends!

The ability to affect the browser theme using meta data in your HTML. Support is lacking among browsers right now, but it works on Safari iOS and MacOS, at least the latest versions. And, you can affect it with javascript events, like as you scroll, or if you get a notification, etc. Funsies.
Over on #Bluesky there was a bit of a controversy over the suspension of Sarah Kendzior. I thought it was an interestingly nontrivial moderation problem, so I wrote up a little case study on how this would have been handled on Mastodon: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/11/13/Kendzior-Case-Study
