내가 받으면... 난 막내니까 받으려면 조카들한테나 받을텐데 진짜 표정관리만 겨우 하면서 "아유 진짜 다 만들었어? 고생했네" 하고 등 토닥여주면서 누나한테 눈빛으로 '이거 뭔데 왜 나한테 이런걸 주는 건데' 할 것 같음 누나들은 '걍 좋다고 해 분위기 망치지 말고' 이러고ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그러고 그냥 본가 창고에다 가져다 둘 듯... ㅈㅅ...ㅋㅋ...! 근데 내 주변에 두면 떨어트려서 부숴먹을 확률이 더 큼 걍 손 안 닿는 곳에 두는 게 낫지ㅋ

@pauloxPaolo Melchiorre it has been suggested that your team may have gotten funding from odoo (an open source ERP written in Python).

Any input? I ask because I'm somehow surrounded by billboards from them (in the 3rd most populous county in the 3rd most populous nation in the world) and I've never heard of a sponsorship from them at PyCon US, DjangoCon US or any regional Python conferences.

"However, if you scoff at the idea that one should have any ethical boundaries at all, and think that there’s no reason to care about the overall utilitarian impact of this technology, that it’s worth using no matter what else it does as long as it makes you 5% better at your job, that’s sociopath behavior."

Just to be clear:

This is not just because somebody at Hilton Corporate has a stellar conscience. I mean, somebody there very well might — but that is not the reason for this. Corporations are by and large amoral actors even when the individuals within them are not.

This is surely because of activists banging pots and pans and drum kits outside the Hilton where ICE agents in MSP were staying, making the hotel a nightmare for everyone staying there and thus losing Hilton business.

Keep it up, activists!

🧵 My sense of justice was triggered by corporate gaslighting two Swiss investigative journalists on LinkedIn.

This is something most people won’t even see, but I was angry, so I looked while my kid was still asleep.

Here’s what it looks like when tech bros attack journalists while you and I have too much food over Christmas.

Two Swiss journalists spent a year filing 59 requests to document Palantir’s 7-year campaign to sell surveillance software to Swiss authorities (army and health services in particular).

📄: republik.ch/2025/12/09/warum-p

The Swiss army’s internal report concluded they couldn’t rule out US intelligence accessing data through Palantir systems, despite reassurances.

Their story hit The Guardian, and MPs are now questioning £825M in Palantir contracts.

📄: theguardian.com/technology/202

The journalists were rejoicing on LinkedIn. It’s a big deal to have your story picked up by mainstream UK media, especially after a year of hard work.

This is where it gets ugly.

"There’s a reason DHS and its counterparts keep getting humiliated in court when they pretend to be victims," FPF's Adam Rose told Straight Arrow News.

"They’re losing in front of juries, judges are calling them not credible."

If you think this is a niche national interest story, think again, because Palantir are spreading their influence all over Europe.

Their software is used by ICE to track and deport migrants in the U.S., and in military targeting systems.

German civil society organizations are now citing the Swiss findings in their fight against Palantir’s expansion into German police forces.

Scrutiny is essential at this stage.

When journalists investigate and document *with proof*, the playbook comes out: Deny, obfuscate, claim they’re “misrepresenting” work that they don’t want scrutinized, mobilize the allies on LinkedIn, and bury critics in corporate double-speak.

Adrienne Fichter and Marguerite Meyer did excellent work. They deserve our support, not tech bros calling them “luddites” while Palantir rewrites what they actually reported.

I *will* repeat their names so they’re not just “some journalists” somewhere.

@adfichterAdrienne Fichter / linkedin.com/in/adriennefichter

@marguerite_jayMarguerite Meyer / linkedin.com/in/marguerite-mey

Their investigation speaks for itself. So does Palantir’s response. That tells you everything you need to know about who’s operating in good faith.

What you can do:

1. Read the original investigation. Judge for yourself:
📄 republik.ch/2025/12/09/warum-p

2. Support . These reporters aren’t getting rich doing this work. They’re doing it because someone needs to document what powerful companies don’t want documented. A year spent in FOIA requests is not nothing.

3. *Do* pay attention to the LinkedIn drama
The tactic of replying to critical journalism where the general public won’t see is deliberate. They’re trying to discredit journalists among decision-makers and industry insiders. Make this stuff visible if you can.

4. Make your politicians answer questions about government contracts. If the Swiss said no NINE times after careful evaluation, why did the UK say yes? Who benefits from these deals? This matters for and national security.

Once again, support . They are fighting battles most of us will never see.

Thanks for reading.

RE: androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/1

Turns out this was actually 108 gigabytes. Either way, I've now migrated from to for my analytics needs and was able to transfer all my data seamlessly. Hopefully I won't have to switch to something else again, but just in case I did provision stats01, stats02 and stats03 domains for experiments :P

Update: Hilton corporate apparently overrode the local hotel’s decision and is inviting ICE back in (article downthread). Be sure to find ways to demonstrate to Hilton how you feel about this.

Screenshot of a post on X from the official Homeland Security account:

NO ROOM AT THE INN!

Hilton Hotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement.

When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations.

Remember when we all had loads of different social web services to post different content to? Was reminded of this when looking at an old version of my personal website. I used to post artsy-fartsy stuff to Soup.io, book content to Goodreads, do goofy Foursquare checkins, and yes I’ll admit I indulged in “frictionless sharing” from Spotify for a while. Anyway, thinking I might up my Artsy-Fartsy content here on my Mastodon account. Or maybe use another fedi app like Wafrn, which is Tumblr-like.

Old personal website, with lots of links to social web services
