Surely, nobody would bring a #minitel at #39c3 near the house of tea for public use. That seem very unlikely

Zuckerburg is paying only $190M to settle an $8B lawsuit by Facebook shareholders for failing in his oversight duties in the Cambridge Analytica crime.

A reminder that even $8B would’ve been only 3% of his net worth, and $190M is only .08% of his net worth.

About $75 for ordinary working people.
Another reminder that “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Globalisation 🌍

On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm to restrict your reach to your own country or region when you post.

Additionally, many people post in English, even when it's not their native language.

If you post a comment or question
that is related to a specific region of the world, please specify which one, and don't assume people worldwide will know this acronym or reference.

You will have a better chance to
get the answers you seek, and more boosts from people living in different regions of the world.

Also consider adding a hashtag relevant to the country or region you are posting about.

Keep in mind the Fediverse is global! 🌏🌍🌎✨

앱을 만들지도 않고 자기 아이디어가 도둑질당할까봐 걱정하던 옛날 대표님 생각나네요. 야!! 아이디어는 아무것도 아니야!!! 실체가 있어야 도둑이지!!! 웃기시네… 하고 생각했죠.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 심지어 같은 프롬프트 입력해도 정확히 같은 결과가 생성되는 것도 아닌데 프롬프트 도둑이라닠ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 실체를 도둑질한 기계에 아이디어를 넣는 것에 무슨 권리가 있어요.

Rush, à la recherche de l’essence de la créativité

Contrairement à ce que son titre pourrait faire croire, Rush démarre lentement. Presque trop. Pourtant, le roman qui navigue sur les registres de la science-fiction, de l’autobiographie et de l’essai philosophico-technique parvient à surprendre et à délivrer une vraie leçon sur l’écriture.

“Being photographed when in transit is something that Canadians who visit the United States will need to get used to…”

Um, no. It should always be seen as a breach of privacy. I imagine it will contribute to further reduce travel.

And the guy at the beginning of this was photographed while leaving the country?

Kindness is often underestimated, mistaken for something soft. In reality, it’s one of the most powerful life skills we have. Kindness creates space for trust, growth, and sustainable progress. It sharpens listening, strengthens boundaries, and reminds us that self-care is foundational, not optional. When you practice kindness toward yourself and others, capacity expands. Impact follows. The quiet miracle? Kindness multiplies, expanding all good things.

I've never understood why WhatsApp decided to rely on phone numbers for auth (or, not even that long ago, a phone to do anything at all).
