Thank you for your patience. After observing the first 24 hours of Threads, we decided to block threads.net (in advance of them at some point joining the Fediverse).

There are openly, aggressively transphobic accounts on Threads.net with no visible attempt at moderation. We would defederate from any other Fediverse instance with that behaviour and no moderation, and there is no reason to treat threads.net any different.

I often download #books (and rarely also films) simply because I can’t buy what I want #DRM-free and in an open format. I always had the intuition I was justified in doing so, but now thanks to @pluralistic I know there’s a perfect moral argument to support this practice:

“If buying isn’t owning, #piracy isn’t stealing”

It’s hard not to say “AI” when everybody else does too, but technically calling it AI is buying into the marketing. There is no intelligence there, and it’s not going to become sentient. It’s just statistics, and the danger they pose is primarily through the false sense of skill or fitness for purpose that people ascribe to them.

⚠️ 23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome ro thieves.

Do what it says in the email and email arbitrationoptout@23andme.com that you do not agree with the new terms of service and opt out of arbitration.

If you have an account with them, do this right now.

moreover, now we know who has access to it.

when i started at twitter in 2011 one of the first trainings i attended was the security one, which said, outright "you have a target painted on your back now, you will have to be vigilant".

So, the redundancy train finally came for me. Let me know if you know of any interesting DevRel or DevEx roles out there. 💖

Does anyone happen to know if lerna-changelog is a dead project? There seems to be little progress on issues and PRs in quite some time 🤔 Several people also maintain forks with changes they want/need.

I would appreciate boosts for reach to see if we can get an answer 🙇
