@neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org Oh, I've had two of those, plus an infostealer compromise, all courtesy Claude Code.

@mdione @0xabad1dea Generally speaking, they don't need the practice! But the foreigners working on their Dutch do.

@fasterandworse@hci.social These days I think I think I would settle for 'is it more useful than a rock?'

@coraven@mastodon.ie I thought it was clear from the EU mandate that use of the digital wallet cannot be made mandatory, that there must remain offline alternatives. So nobody is forced to have an Apple or Google account to access public services. Of course having to have an Apple or Google account to access public services with the digital wallet is bad enough. And how well that requirement in general stands up to reality is an open question.

@ZenHeathen @SnoopJ This is really reminiscent of Bernard Williams. He had a lot to say about morality, almost all of it negative, but he particularly detested the inescapability and ubiquity of the obligation it imposes on everybody. Morality says that if you're at that lever you are *obligated* to choose who to save. It's on you. Williams called bullshit.

@sanityinc@hachyderm.io @brahms@chaos.social @hugo@social.treehouse.systems @Routhinator@tenforward.social Think again. I work in a capital-intensive segment of the transport industry and the information technology leadership in my workplace have gone all in on pushing 'AI' to 'improve efficiency'. Businesses of all descriptions are falling for this.

@Vivaldi Whatever the reason for it, putting such an egregiously long post into other people's timelines is a good way to alienate your own users (like myself) and the prospective users you're trying to court. It's completely inappropriate for this medium, one built around and for *short* posts. It's inconsiderate, even rude. Please stop - and relay this message to Jon, too.

@david_chisnall Oh, I now so much want to read those papers!

@nantes@mastodon.ie I have successfully transmitted my abiding love for that song to my teenage daughter!

@warandpeas@mastodon.social There is no algorithm on Mastodon.

@wbpeckham@techhub.social @warandpeas@mastodon.social I was responding to a use of 'the algorithm' and I think we all know very well what that refers to in popular discourse.
