Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/stack-overflow-bans-users-en-masse-for-rebelling-against-openai-partnership-users-banned-for-deleting-answers-to-prevent-them-being-used-to-train-chatgpt

Like just incredible "burning the future to power the present" energy here

@mcc so they get to change what your answers are used for, but you don't get to change your answers.

Right.

We will all have to one day explain what we were doing during the Gaza genocide.

And a lot of us will have to atone for it.

"Move fast and break stuff" may be a decent tactic with regards to engineering practices, but..

checks notes

..NOT WHEN THE THINGS BEING BROKEN ARE HUMAN BEINGS ,YOU FUCKING MONSTERS

rysiek,
@rysiek@mstdn.social avatar

@koosli yeah, I said it before and I'll say it again:

there's barely any engineering in software engineering.

And even in software development, "move fast and break things" is definitely not a decent tactic in any engineering context outside of very early prototyping.

Screw Silicon Valley bullshit.

Another data broker is telling me that they have a „legitimate interest“ in scraping and selling my data because they need to for their business. 🙄 That is not enough.
When someone claims legitimate interest, they have to show that your rights and freedoms do not outweigh their interests. „We want to because money!“ does not quite do that!

Time to prepare my next complaint.

@r_alb is it possible to see your complaints somewhere? I would love to learn how to properly write these.

Okay, so, podcasts are great but sometimes I prefer to read instead of listen. 🤔

So what if – hear me out – there was a thing like podcasts, but for text! 🤯

It would still be distributed via RSS, you could still follow them and automagically pull them to your device. But instead of audio, there would be text. ✏️

👉 We could call them: textcasts!

And get this: I already have one! It was super easy to set up, actually. You can find it here:

Oh my Dog, @baldur yet again hits multiple nails square in their heads:
https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/react-electron-llms-labour-arbitrage/

🔥 🔥 🔥

> Tech management will sacrifice technological progress – performance, design, and general product effectiveness – if it disempowers labour.

> If you’re unlucky enough to have to use any of this garbage we’re shipping and calling ‘software’, now you know why it all feels a bit shit.

> This is what unions were made for

@sun

> I absolutely do think less of you for using them. (You can argue about productivity and “progress” all you like, but none of that will raise you back into my good opinion.)
