Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.
"Your prompts remain private while using our AI" isn't the pro-privacy statement most AI companies seem to believe it to be.
What about the data of the subjects you used to train your AI model? Did you ask consent from all of them? What's that? Your product isn't possible if you ask for consent first?
Well, it's definitely not private then.

This is quite mesmerizing ...
I am increasingly convinced that a lot of companies no longer consider people using their product to be a viable market. Instead, they pursue feature sets desired by some population that is, itself, self-selecting.
"This feature is very popular with our user base" without understanding that the people who absolutely do not want that feature will simply stop using your product or service.
Think the "Survivorship Bias Plane", but for software and hardware.

Dear FOSDEM goer. You can fund an air quality monitor (CO2 etc) for the event and take it home. The production & shipping costs are running up to 50 EUR. Now is the time to let me know you want it: no takers - no manufacturing. At the end of the event the devices and money will change hands. Contact details are in the article linked:

Friend is asking me for my professional opinions (to publish) on 2026 predictions for our profession.
So I wrote a blurb on how AI is going to crash everything and we're going to be retooling over and over again, if we still have jobs.
A little too depressing to hit send. *sigh*
UNMASK ICE. All ‘law’ enforcement should be prohibited from masking and their names & addresses, biometrics registered with local municipal and state governments. Just masking while doing what they do should be grounds for arrest.
There must be recourse for victims of their abuse.
That said, people protesting *should* be masking for covid & their identity protection as best as possible.
What the actual fuck? ICE has been holding three members of the Oglala Sioux tribe in detention since Friday. Tribal members are US citizens by statute.
Homeland Security is refusing to release any information on these tribal members, other than first names, until the tribe enters into an "immigration agreement" with ICE. Again, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
😡
ICE are openly admitting it isn't about "immigration", it's all about white supremacy.
White Supremacy Enforcement would be a more accurate name.
Where the F are they going to "deport" Native Americans to?

FediCon was such a blast, met so many cool people.
Can you recognize any?
Looking forward to the next one 😁
If Donald Trump’s government can murder a woman in broad daylight for exercising her First Amendment rights, they can murder any of us.
If congressional Republicans had a shred of decency, they would impeach and remove Kristi Noem.
If those Republicans cherished the USA more than their jobs, they would impeach and remove Donald Trump.
If they don’t, it’s up to us to remove them.
If you’ve had enough, let’s get to work.

My god, this is Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy. He wrote on instagram “I was tackled by #ICE agents & surrounded by about 50 #border #police. Just for taking photos. I tossed my camera to another Photographer to make sure it wouldn't be confiscated. #gettyreportage #getty at the #Whipple Federal building in #Minneapolis.”
