Slack have decided to start training AI on enterprise customer data, including DMs, private workspaces and files. You have to have admin opt out via email. HT @Quinnypig
I'm floored by Slack getting drunk on the idea of LLMs enough to compromise the privacy of customer data for the purpose of training an LLM! This should be an opt-in due to the nature of how much sensitive information will flow into training an LLM...I hope this move bites them in the ass.
Don’t say shit about caring about trans people, gay people, Black people, brown people, immigrants or your own damn self if you don’t VOTE for Biden. And, you can kiss my ass too.

When I talk about digital privacy, there is always some smug genius who shrugs and tells me, "Who cares? We all know we don't have any privacy anyway." Nothing could be more wrong. Convincing you that the fight is already over to the way people in power get you to stop resisting.
@arstechnica The timing of this points to intent: not to survive court challenges that can take months to years, but to give police the ability to arrest peaceful and cooperative protestors who aren’t protesting on private property, and it allows authorities to say that only lawful protests are acceptable.
Sometimes the point of absurd laws isn’t to survive longterm, it’s to quash a movement’s momentum. This is why legal challenges to such laws should induce stays immediately.
Weather and climate change aren’t the same thing, but climate change is creating extremes.
Despite this, Ron DeSantis (R) just signed a law deleting climate change from Florida policy, banning the construction of offshore wind turbines, and boosting fossil fuels.
DeSantis isn’t in the running anymore for President but Trump is and his plan for addressing the climate is if anything worse.
@philip_cardella@TonyStark Jeb Bush started sending it downhill. School “choice”, stupid tax cuts, privatization of lots of public services, and cut the civil service so he could claim government didn’t work. Oh, and got the legislature to give him more authority. Abolished affirmative action, and signed “Stand Your Ground.” Sounds familiar.
Je ne regrette absolument pas d'avoir divorcé mais à chaque fois qu'un document administratif (en l'occurrence le projet d'acte notarié pour mon appartement) me le rappelle avec le nom de mon ex-mari et la date du jugement c'est comme un sale taquet derrière la nuque, un vieux sentiment d'échec, et un statut dont décidément il est impossible de se défaire.
Quelle que soit ma vie conjugale je serai divorcée jusqu'à ma mort et je trouve ça sinistre.
@Elizabeth@Emmaf_77@GeorgiaSoupault@APDMS A tous les coups ils ne cochent pas la case "mariés" (?)(y'a aucun problème pour les comptes joints de personnes non mariées entre elles, chacun garde son identité)
@Galamadryade@Elizabeth@Emmaf_77@GeorgiaSoupault@APDMS ou bien ils payent très cher des gens qui savent encore faire du COBOL pour rectifier. (oui ça s’écrit en criant, c’est comme ça)(c’est pratique parce que y’a que des vieillard·e·s qui savent encore, alors c’est mieux de crier)
And now a very exhausted Laffy must go do more loading of Mr. POD. I'd say Ms. POD but she's coming for the furniture next week. She took the week off, like any smart POD would.

Montreal is fantastic! Was only there once but absolutely loved Mount Royal area. Fantastic stores and restaurants and very French vibes.
@GottaLaff excellent. How are you doing living with most everything packed up?
When we were living in AZ we sold 1 house before buying another moved into extended living a couple months until we found another. We used the PODS. Initially it was thought everything would fit into 1. Nope. Hubby filled the first one with just his tools from the garage. 🤦🏻♀️Most of the rest of the house fit into another POD. We were lucky they brought us another within hours. A few items at friends house.
@volpeon This reminds me of the story about a customer complaining about a "virus" that was creating a huge file on their computer called netscape cache.
Rdv conseillère bancaire, elle me dit que comme ma CNI comporte encore mon nom d'épouse (je suis divorcée depuis plusieurs années et elle le sait), c'est ça mon vrai nom.
Je m'étonne, lui dis que je n'ai jamais porté ce nom, je vais sur le site de la banque 3 jours plus tard et là je constate que cette connasse a entretemps fait changer le nom de mes comptes et a tout mis sous ce nom d'épouse.
@Khrys
Ta conseillère bancaire n’y connait rien… Ton nom de naissance est ton nom officiel jusqu’à ce que tu en changes OFFICIELLEMENT.
Le mariage ne change pas le nom officiel, il donne juste le droit de prendre le nom de l’époux·se comme nom d’usage, donc l’utiliser au quotidien.
D’ailleurs ta CNI comporte ton nom de naissance, suivi de la mention « épouse X » (tu t’appelles pas Zézette, j’espère ?), ce qui valide ton droit d’usage (droit, et pas devoir).
Pas sûr que ce qu’elle a fait soit donc très légal.

Does anybody know where I can get an affordable TeamTalk server for my own use? Mine kind of died like a lot of months ago and now I have no good spots to host movie night. I don’t want to have to sell a kidney to pay for it, but I am willing to pay a reasonable amount of money.
As CNN documents, it was outsiders who caused the violence at UCLA, not the students. And it's vital to keep in mind that the police "stood by for hours" -- watching (obviously indifferent if not pleased) as the outsiders beat up protestors and journalists -- and thereby became collaborators with the violent intruders into a peaceful protest.
@dangillmor "counter protestor" is a gilded term, when people assault other people, they are often referred to as 'alleged assailants'.
The fact that the phaux-lice did nothing, even for a few minutes, to protect and serve the public, just cements public opinion as to what their actual purpose for still existing is.
When will citizens have the right to protest again in this sensibility-forsaken country?

so. in January I was in a bad car accident. fractured spine, ruptured discs, cracked pelvis, broken arm. last 4 months have been v hard. tonight though I'm going back to my adult dance class for the first time. I wasn't sure I'd ever even walk properly again so this is a moment for me. a good one
@scudery@heldum J'en suis encore tout énervé. Et encore, je relativise : je suis mâle, quadra bien tapé, bourgeois, blanc, ça m'arrive pas souvent ce genre de truc.
A la base je regardais une série.
J'ai voulu changer de localisation.
J'ai accidentellement replié mon laptop.
Windows m'a planté la veille.
J'ai du faire un hard reboot.
ET MAINTENANT JE ME RETROUVE AVEC DES PUTAINS DE MISE À JOUR DE MERDE NON SOLLICITÉES A 23H AU LIEU DE REGARDER MA FUCKIN SÉRIE COMME TOUTE PERSONNE NORMALE !

@Beedazzled@purplepadma we dipped into two hills-of-Snowdonia lakes mid walk on Saturday. I may have shrieked "think of the endorphins!" as our feet went numb in the first one 🤣
