@Sobieck Because it’s always a zero-sum game for Silicon Valley. That’s why we have trillion-dollar corporations and billionaires.

@knittingknots2 Why do they look AI generated? I mean… it would explain a lot…

@rad Yeah, maybe I was being overly generous with the “these days” bit.

@ZenobiaVayne @CindyWeinstein Aww, please give the little puppy a cuddle from me :)

Do you have to be scum of the Earth to be a world leader these days or is it just a nice to have?

@arrrg COP30: Burn, baby, burn!

#COP29: Climate change? Yes, please!

There is still time to register for the Color of Surveillance conference happening this Monday (both in person in DC and on livestream).

▶️ Register and find the program on the website: https://www.law.georgetown.edu/privacy-technology-center/events/the-color-of-surveillance-surveillance-resistance/

My session will be a discussion with 3 amazing people.

@oblomov @jwildeboer If you say so.

Just made a macOS bug-fix release for Site.js¹ and also deprecated it as I’ll no longer be maintaining it. (We’ll be porting our own sites to Kitten².)

Site.js was the first iteration of a Small Web server and I learned a whole lot by building it. It is also where many of the components in Kitten originated (auto TLS, the JSDB database, etc.)

I’ll keep the site up for the foreseeable future for the historic record.

@obviousdwest Climate collapse → turmoil → authoritarianism

Humans? Dead species walking.

“The president of Azerbaijan, who is hosting climate summit COP29, has hailed oil and gas as ‘a gift from God’ as he lambasted Western media and climate activists.

President Ilham Aliyev kicked off the conference with a wide-ranging, critical speech in which he hit out at those opposed to his country's oil and gas industries.”

@scrum @unexpectedteapot I know, right, what was I thinking :)

@yaxu There’s a way the rich stay rich.

Excellent! We all know rapid growth = success (hey, if it works for cancer…) and, please, do ensure you sniff each and every tech bro brain fart before trying non-corporate alternatives. https://social.heise.de/@heiseonlineenglish/113483702634402329
