Der richtige Moment ein Betriebsrat zu gründen, ist wenn es euch gut geht, damit der aktuelle Stand gehalten und verteidigt wird und nicht, wenn es brennt und die Macht beim Arbeitskraftnehmer liegt. Dann ist es zu spät.
you know, i had to physically get the stalker out of my house, but even after that there's some _choice_ feelings to be had when someone forwards you the stalker sending them the pictures from inside your home
@cy see, this is a bad faith read of a serious post. It's entitled, dismissive, and sarcastic. I assume it's meant to get a rise out of me, and it would also serve to signal to anyone else reading this that being entitled, dismissive, and sarcastic is acceptable behavior in this space. It's not.
For posterity, you know it's not about whether I have to see your reply, because that's not what I said. I said it's about whether I have to carry your reply, and show it to everyone who comes by as though it had equal merit to the actually thoughtful and constructive replies it's sitting next to.
If I had better tools to moderate my own threads, I might be able to give you a chance to apologize and correct your behavior. But I don't have those better tools. I can only block you, to prevent further bad behavior. So that's what I'm doing.
On Tuesday, January 13, 2025 there will be happening 5th Mobile Hackday in Prague.
The event focuses on Linux on mobile devices, kernel development, and practical hacking around mobile platforms.
The day will include short lightning talks on topics such as:
* sending Linux kernel patches using b4 #LinuxKernel
* what makes a high-quality commit (in the kernel and beyond) #QA
* a NixOS Mobile demo #NixOS

I am Anubis. You probably know who I am. I am a guide and protector. On here, however, I shall, most likely, talk and post about various topics which I am interested in. I am, of course, interested in Ancient Egypt and mythology, but also art, philosophy and religion. I am currently trying my hand at creating various (albeit very simple) emoji. I also enjoy music, writing and reading. I will, most likely, also share various jokes. Additionally, it is likely that I will also talk about various everyday events and technology and language.
I do not, as of yet, have my own website. However, I shall be working on creating on in the foreseeable future.
Feel free to talk to me if you wish, but please introduce yourself and state the reason for your wishing to talk to me. I am not the best at small talk.
Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could boost this post so that our newly-created instance can get some help with federation.
Stupid shit that aligns with our biases going viral is definitely not something the fediverse is immune to. Threads about this story *did* have the occasional critical reader questioning it, but 99% of the responses were jumping head-first into the rage bait. (And yes, free-lancer exploitation platforms need to go away—but giving up on truth isn't going to accomplish that.)

Have you ever noticed that the food graphics in Super Smash Bros. and Kirby Air Riders is flat “billboarded” stock images of food? This artistic decision from director Masahiro Sakurai has persisted through 8 games over nearly 25 years.
While researching every game with this art style and all 150+ unique food images I ended up fixing wikis, reviewing a seasonal KitKat flavor, and preserving an uncatalogued image of tempura soba.

🌗 為什麼 Gmail 應用程式高達 700 MB？
➤ 數位空間的無聲掠奪：探討行動應用程式的「虛胖」真相
✤ https://akr.am/blog/posts/why-is-the-gmail-app-700-mb
現代智慧型手機的應用程式正陷入一種「體積肥大化」（Bloatware）的怪圈。作者 Mohamed Akram 發現，光是 Gmail 在 iOS 上的體積就高達 760 MB，位居最臃腫應用程式前三名，而功能相仿的微軟 Outlook 卻僅有其一半大小。回溯歷史，Gmail 在 2017 年前僅有約 12 MB，隨後卻在短時間內暴增百倍。這類「軟體通膨」現象不僅出現在 Google，連 Tesla、三星甚至微軟的簡單工具 App 也動輒數百 MB。本文深度對比了 Apple 原生程式與第三方開發者的軟體體積差異，質疑這些程式在功能並未顯著增加的情況下，為何會如此揮霍用戶珍貴的儲存空間與系統效能。

本来Instagramにおけるフォローとは，特定の人物の視点や思想を，時間の流れとともに受け取る行為であった。時系列表示は表現の文脈を保持し，「誰が，どのような連続性の中で語ったか」を可視化していた。しかしMosseriの主導でアルゴリズミックタイムラインが導入され，表現者の人格や思想よりも，エンゲージメントを生む定型的な表現形式が優先されるようになった。その結果，「本物らしさ」は希少なものではなくなり，インスタ映えする視覚語彙の固定化が進み，そうした成功フォーマットは模倣・量産可能な演出へと変質した。これは自然発生的な文化変化というより，プラットフォーム設計によって加速された現象であるにもかかわらず彼はそれを「世界の変化」として語ることで，設計判断の責任を外部化している。Mosseriの言う "authenticity is reproducible" という洞察そのものが，アルゴリズム最適化されたもっともらしい自己批評として再生産されているように見える。
🌕 越南禁止「不可跳過廣告」：新規要求 5 秒後必須顯示跳過鍵
➤ 終結漫長等待：越南數位廣告法規的新紀元
✤ https://saigoneer.com/vietnam-news/28652-vienam-bans-unskippable-ads,-requires-skip-button-to-appear-after-5-seconds
越南政府近日頒布了第 342 號法令，對現行的國家《廣告法》進行重大修訂，旨在整治惱人的網路廣告並保護消費者權益。這項新法將於 2026 年 2 月 15 日正式上路，屆時所有影音或動畫廣告的強制觀看時間不得超過 5 秒，靜態廣告則必須讓使用者能立即關閉。法規的核心在於消除誤導性的介面設計，要求平臺提供直覺的「單次點擊關閉」機制，並針對食品、醫療與酒類等 11 類高風險產業的廣告實施嚴格監管。這項舉措標誌著越南在改善數位使用者體驗與打擊非法行銷資訊上邁出了關鍵一步。
+ 終於有國家願意管這個了！希望其他地區也能跟進，那種強迫看完 30 秒的廣告真的很影響使用體驗。
+ 規定「單次操作即關閉」和「嚴禁誤導符號」對不擅長科技

[Veille 📣] How We Lost Communication to Entertainment
https://ploum.net/2025-12-15-communication-entertainment.html
Je me sens vraiment lié à cette réflexion de @ploum .
Oui, le Fédivers est pour moi un outil qui permet de connecter différentes plateformes entre elles, oui le but est justement de ne pas avoir besoin d’un compte différent par service.
Je rejoins parfaitement le constat de l’aspect "consommation" de certains des services du Fédivers, et j’aimerais que ça ne soit pas le cas.
Faites des flux RSS, faites des blog, faites du mail !

@peterk exactly. You can't own such an "AI" locally. Sure, Open Source models exist but, if I'm not wrong, they're far behind and still require lots of computing power. So it's their dream: something that you need but that nobody else can provide.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.
한국의 부를 다수의 대중에게 돌릴 방법을 생각하지 않으면 아마 우리 사회도 급격하게 우경화될걸... 백척간두에서 살아 돌아왔다고 다음에 같은 일이 발생하지 않을 거란 보장은 없다.
So the reddit post that I also contributed on boosting here some days ago about some horrible practices from food delivery app... turns out it was fake.
