Except for the contract employees. Fuck those people.

I mean technically the contractors are not employees

time to polish that horga’hn

Japan is super into lottery based sales. Even for things like concerts

If you listen closely, you can hear the heads of NSA people banging on their desks because of the funding stop

fyi, you can link with a ! to instances, and they get automatically converted to local user instance links:

!whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

They wanted people switching over from big name software to feel right at home

The one weird trick that makes clickbait work

if they manage to make it an actual good product and also not host it in the US, they might even be able to pull it off

Will we, though?

they asked for funny, not tragic

none.

it’s quite literally technically impossible to detect ai gens with more certainty than a coinflip.

Even worse with text gens

Fun fact: that’s Elijah Wood and it’s his first film role

As I haven’t seen this mentioned so far: Be sure that you both learn the language.

Seen a lot of posts in other immigration heavy subs/communities where people move to europe and don’t make any effort on learning the local language, and then are surprised/depressed that they can’t find any friends or jobs

the thing is: the employer has absolutely 0 say on if a person is sick or not. If a doctor says a person can’t work: that’s it. The company 0 in the matter.

In fact, the company isn’t even allowed to ask why a person is sick. An official note from the doctor is all that matters

Abolutely necessarily.

it works like this:

• @privateuser@mastodon.example.com has a “followers only account”.
• @someuser@pixelfed.example.com is a friend of above account, requested access and was granted. This now causes mastodon.example.com to push all messages of @privateuser to pixelfed.example.com.
• @anotheruser@pixelfed.example.com requests access, but gets ignored. But the pixelfed instance marks the user as “follows @privateuser”
• In the interface of @someuser, the messages are shown as expected.
• In the interface of @anotheruser, they are also shown. Because PF basically does a database “select messages of users that the user follows”, without checking if the access was ever granted.

Important to note, that this would not happen, if the messages weren’t already pushed to the server due to the “allowed” user

ActivityPub is a half-assed unfinished mess.

tried working on my own service and figured this one out very fast.

It’s amazing that it works at all. 98% of the stuff is not documented at all. and the stuff that is, can hardly be called documentation.
