#Meta argues #enshittification isn’t real in bid to toss #FTC #monopoly trial

According to Meta, the FTC failed to show evidence that "the overall quality of Meta’s apps has declined" or that the company shows too many ads to users. Meta says that's "fatal" to the FTC's case that the company wielded monopoly power to pursue more ad revenue while degrading user experience over time (an Internet trend known as "enshittification").

Tech bros are building an army of really stupid people with power, lacking liberal arts education, who are told what to think by a programmable and hackable machine (replacing their annoying, demanding family) that's telling them exactly what they want to hear, facts be damned. What could possibly go right?

When this bubble bursts, there will be considerable shrapnel. Invest in helmets.

Nadella points out that Microsoft was once less relevant in videoconferencing too. “Everybody would say, ‘Hey, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom,’” Nadella says. “We won that in the enterprise.” (A Zoom spokesperson declined to comment.)


LMAO I once moved Microsoft engineers off their shit Teams app to Jitsi for a pitch meeting from them to us because it wouldn't screen share.

Nadella is a fucking liar.

No joking for this #FailureFriday - an interim report on the foundering of the sailing megayacht Bayesian has been released by the MAIB, and it's absolutely eyepopping.

You can read the report for yourself - it's not overly technical - and I'll pull some bits out into a thread below.

Das Bild zeigt eine majestätische Engelgestalt, die auf einem felsigen Berggipfel steht. Der Engel hat große, transparente Flügel, die mit goldenen Sternen und einem leuchtenden Sonnenhintergrund verziert sind. Sie trägt ein fließendes, hellblaues Gewand, das von einem sanften Licht erstrahlt. Der Hintergrund ist ein dunkler Nachthimmel mit Wolken, die die Szene umrahmen. Der Engel blickt nach unten, und seine Haltung strahlt Ruhe und Weisheit aus. Die Farben sind tief und mystisch, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Blau- und Goldtönen, die die himmlische Atmosphäre unterstreichen.

Peaceful Reflection

This is one of my early images, and I was immediately drawn to the ripples and the reflection. There’s a painterly quality to it that I truly appreciate. I captured it in Georgia at a small, hidden pond tucked away across from our hotel. It was near dusk—quiet and serene, despite being on the edge of the city. Oh, and the subject? A great egret (Ardea alba), standing in perfect harmony with its surroundings.

Explore a curated collection of heron and egret images in my photo gallery. Take a look!

The image features a vinyl record player and an album cover. The record player, branded "Linn Sonder LP2," is positioned on the left side of the image, with its lid open, revealing the turntable platter. The album cover, titled "Children of Sanchez" by Chuck Mangione, is prominently displayed in the center. It shows a person playing a trumpet against a desert landscape with a clear sky. The cover is white with the artist's name and album title in black and red text. Below the image, there is a small wooden object, possibly a record cleaning brush. To the right, a red container holds various items, including a woven basket and colorful objects. The background is a light-colored surface, possibly a table or shelf, with a metal shelf visible behind the album cover.

this is actually really nice, i tried following a different tutorial that had a bunch of weird steps that didn't work (you needed TWO usb sticks, one to act as the boot disk and one to run freeDOS with? i could never get the boot disk usb to work, and from the comments it seems like no one else had much success with that method either) and even if it had worked i don't have any drivers for it, which the author provides! 😀


"According to figures compiled by Al Jazeera, at least 370 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since Sunday. The violence has been particularly deadly in the second half of the week, with medical sources reporting the killing of at least 100 Palestinians on Friday, and 143 on Thursday."

Tomorrow will mark the anniversary of my mum passing last year.

She loved the spring garden and azaleas and rhododendrons in particular.

Her garden (which used to be my garden) is full of rare and unusual double flowered azaleas and rhododendrons.

She also loved acers & has some amazing ones too.

I will always remember my mum for the absolute joy she had whenever this month came around.

One of the final things she asked me was to show her photos of the garden.

Love you forever mam xxx

I've got NYT song in the works for the next record. It's not done, but I may have to float an in-progress rough of it just to be as emphatic as possible about the genuine societal benefits of utterly destroying The New York Times.




In the last 40 years the only party that cut the deficit is the Democrats. That's true whether you believe it or not. Raise taxes on the top and the math "magically" works, but Republicans want to give the top more tax cuts.

This bill also removes a $200 tax on gun silencers that has been in effect since 1932.

Your gun silencer is cheaper but you lose Medicaid. How nice. Priorities.

This is false. Any unprivileged user can trigger this problem, my proof of concept was tested as uid=99/nobody.

⚖️ Montana just became the first U.S. state to ban law enforcement from purchasing personal data from brokers — and it’s a privacy milestone 🚫📱

Under this new law:
📍 Government agencies can’t buy sensitive data (location, biometrics, etc.) without a warrant
🔍 It closes a major loophole used to sidestep Fourth Amendment protections
📄 Agencies also can’t require people to waive rights through service terms
🧱 It sets a precedent for digital due process in a data-saturated world

This isn’t just a state law. It’s a model for what digital civil liberties legislation should look like nationwide.

#Trump didn’t make the numerous #trade deals he promised were in the works. Instead he says the US will send "letters" w/ #tariffs.

In reality he made 2 deals. 1 w/ %Britain which is not legally binding. The other w/ #China which is just a deal to keep talking.

Trump claimed Friday that the #US will set tariff rates for its trading partners within the next few weeks. He claimed his admin cannot negotiate trade deals w/ all countries at once because there are so many.

“I think we’re going to be very fair. But it’s not possible to meet the number of people that want to see us,” #Trump said during a meeting w/ business executives in the UAE.

Trump said #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent & #Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick “will be sending letters out essentially telling people” what “they’ll be paying to do business in the United States.”

#economy #tariffs #inflation #recession

in reply to Nonilex

The #US & #China paused most #tariffs for 90 days & sent markets into temporary & misguided euphoria on Monday, after last week's announced #trade deal w/ the #UK.

China’s state-backed Global Times said Friday the 90-day US tariff truce is too short & should be extended. Analysts say China seeks flexibility, as tariffs may return after the truce.

*Talks* continue in #SouthKorea, but #Trump's tariffs are likely to stay high beyond the 90-day pause.

#economy #inflation #recession



So, where I would slightly finesse this is the thing about 'midterm unpopularity' is: it is important to ask yourself 'why are you unpopular, and why will it be better at the end of the parliament?' It's very rare that a government is well-positioned to be popular in midterm *and* at the end.

The US #SupremeCourt on Friday kept in place its block on Trump's deportations of #Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 law historically used only in wartime after their lawyers said the government was set to remove the men without #judicial review in #violation of a prior #CourtOrder by the justices.

Notably, #Kavanaugh issued a concurring opinion saying,

“I would prefer not to remand to the lower courts & further put off this Court’s final resolution of the critical legal issues. Rather,… I would grant certiorari, order prompt briefing, hold oral argument soon thereafter, and then resolve the legal issues.”

All that said, this does nothing to help the people who were already rendered to #ElSalvador illegally by the #Trump admin. That’s a separate case. Which is why this issue should be addressed in a #ClassAction as

Justice Kagan asks Sauer to assume that #Trump’s EO on #BirthrightCitizenship is unconstitutional. Since Sauer is questioning whether a #ClassAction lawsuit would be viable in this matter, how long would it take for #SCOTUS to resolve the matter if everyone had to sue individually?

Kagan’s question gets at the practical impact of abolishing #NationwideInjunctions: She is suggesting it would be a chaotic process for many individual plaintiffs across the country fighting for citizenship.
