There's a new scam happening where fake 2SLGBTQ+ conferences are spinning up and reaching out to advocacy organizations for endorsements, likely to harvest personal information on individuals who'd apply. If you work with other targeted minority groups, please be careful.

Scam alert! A new conference, "Canvoos Montreal", is soliciting endorsements from queer rights organizations in Montrรฉal. I received the below email from them earlier today, soliciting the endorsement of the organization Iโ€™ve founded, Juritrans. At first glance, this seems interesting. However, their email seemed suspicious (ChatGPT-like phrases, โ€œsalesโ€ email, etc.). So I checked. It gets darker. One fact of the Internet is that any websiteโ€™s domain name (for example, โ€œexample.comโ€ is a domain name) must be registered before use. This record โ€” often known as a WHOIS record โ€” allows one to have insights into the website, such as its owner and when it was first registered. Turns out, Canvoos Montrealโ€™s domain name was registered only two days ago. Additionally, its website uses generic drawings pulled from Pride organizations in the United States, and seems to be translated into French entirely using Google Translate: in the context of a website, โ€œhomeโ€ is translated to ยซaccueilยป, not ยซmaisonยป! I couldnโ€™t find any other presence of Canvoos Montreal anywhere on the internet, nor in the Quebec business registrar; no individuals were mentioned on the conferenceโ€™s website either. This leads me to the obvious conclusion: this is an evolution of the โ€œLGBTI conference scamโ€ that was first documented in the news last year. Fake conferences, in the queer context, are non-existent conferences, designed to dupe LGBTI+ activists from the Global South into paying โ€œregistration feesโ€ for a non-existent event. The usual formula is an announced conference, whereas activists from the Global South are invited as delegates or speakers, travel expenses covered, but then are made to pay a registration fee, in an unrefundable manner (e.g. Western Union or wire payment). By the time they apply for a visa to visit Canada, itโ€™s too late, the conference doesnโ€™t exist and theyโ€™ve lost out on their money. Whilst this scam has been reported by Xtra Magazine last year (https://lnkd.in/eyJi-bRs), soliciting local queer organizations to endorse such conferences is a new, particularly low way of getting unsuspecting non-profits to participate in such scams. Non-profit organizations should be extremely cautious if ever theyโ€™re invited to be involved with a little-known or otherwise unfamiliar conference. As for individuals invited to unfamiliar conferences, if youโ€™re required to pay a registration fee in spite of having travel expenses paid for, thatโ€™s a massive red flag. If you have good reasons to doubt somethingโ€™s legitimacy, be cautious! Dignity Network Canada Open Digital Literacy and Access Network (ODLAN)

Bishop William J. Barber II preached at St. Paul's United Methodist church in Biloxi, Missisissippi, for Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday. He opened by saying that he doesn't really like the notion of holidays and commemorations for people who were murdered.

But he knows why Reagan was happy to sign off on the King holiday:

From the earliest days of social media, social media bosses have been at war with sociability. To create a social media service is to demarcate legitimate and illegitimate forms of sociability. It's a monumental act of hubris, really.

Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse avatar, perched on a legless nude Ken doll body; its eyes are psychedelic pinwheels. Behind the figure is a group shot of child laborer miners from the 1910s, glitched out, blue tinted, and covered with scan lines. The background is a psychedelic swirl of moody colors. They stand atop a filthy checkerboard floor that stretches off to infinity.

After several months of umm-ing and ahh-ing, I handed in my notice at work this week.

If anyone knows of a Canadian company looking to hire a remote senior web developer who will NOT be working on LLM-related functionality (or be required to use LLM-based development tools), please point me in their direction. I've got 15 years of experience and love getting my teeth into technical problems.

Boosts most welcome. Thanks! #getfedihired

Just a note, my wife is a physician. Doctors get a lot of hate here on Mastodon. I don't know what your experience with your doctor is like but my wife gives her life for her patients. So, if you're one of those "doctors are terrible" people, I'm sorry you feel that way but please don't follow me or interact. I'll just end up blocking you.

Oh also some good news: the spacemacs folks very sensibly removed all the AI slop stuff github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/

A very conversation about it here github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/

Meanwhile the ai agent stuff has moved here: github.com/smile13241324/aemacs

(While I am sometimes uncertain about using "psychosis" around AI stuff, it sometimes does seem to apply, and hoo boy a lot of this sure resembles psychosis)
