I am shocked to hear that the company which needlessly and cruelly killed animals with their experiments, did not bother to keep records of the cruelties they committed. SHOCKED!

The week after: Google introduces AI Mail that will receive and automatically respond to all mail. This will happen without the users' consent or knowledge. In fact, users won't be able to access their mail anymore at all "for security reasons".

Yeah, I am in the same boat: I really don't understand what the outrage is all about. First off, because Mastodon is built on open standards which are 100% intended to be interoperable. Second because everyone can read a Mastodon feed that isn't private and the same goes for BlueSky accounts. Hell, BlueSky supports RSS for its feeds, so people with an RSS reader can follow BlueSky accounts without the user knowing about it.

Personally I do not trust the people behind BlueSky, but neither do I trust all the admins of Mastodon servers. There are a ton of questionable Mastodon servers out there, operated by people with very dubious motives, if not outright malicious intent.

This is incredibly funny for people who followed this. Everybody and their grandma told the European Commission that there was no way that breaking end-to-end encryption was compatible with the law. Yet they constantly pushed for it anyway and now look at this mess.

I am almost certain that the European Commission will claim that there are still ways to break end-to-end encryption, only to defeated in court yet again. Like they tried with data preservation for law enforcement purposes. They just can't stop themselves.

The enshittification continues, until ~~morale~~ profit improves.

100%! First step to organize the required worker solidarity for further change.

Unionization is the only possible answer.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

Elon Musk: At long last, I have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel "Don't create the Torment Nexus".

Piranha Bytes is/was owned by Embracer, that should say everything about its chances of survival.

This strip reminds me of "The Monk and the Fish", an animated short with a similar theme.

As far as I understand it, the studios are trying a different angle: They are not suing Reddit this time, but an ISP and want Reddit to provide the data of costumers of that ISP.

Now Elon has lost the crucial support of NFT bros. All five of them!
