South Korea repatriates six North Koreans picked up at sea

North Koreans’ repatriation comes as South Korea’s newly-elected president is working to improve inter-Korean ties.

It appears that Google has discovered bookwyrm.social (a Fediverse version of Goodreads, ICYDK).

I have alerts set up for various words and terms, and over the last few days I've been receiving notices for the books I just reviewed. As well as, the ones I reviewed on Goodreads in 2013, which were imported into Bookwyrm 5months ago.

BTW, I almost never get alerts for my posts on Mastodon, Friendica, Lemmy, Pixelfed, or another other places on the Fediverse, despite being much more active there. I don't even get alerts for my blog posts anymore, since Google devalued blogs. They barely index them now.

It's very weird.

'At one point, an ICE agent addressed a protester, saying “Just keep a distance. We get it alright, we get it.” A protestor responded, “If you get it, why are you doing this.”

“You know that’s not what I meant,” the agent said.'

Firefox is fine. The people running it are not • The Register

Money is the problem. Not too little, but too much. Where there's wealth, there's a natural human desire to make more wealth. Ever since Firefox 1.0 in 2004, Firefox has never had to compete. It's been attached like a mosquito to an artery to the Google cash firehose. The Reg noted it in 2007, and it made more the next year. We were dubious when Firefox turned five.
And as for that money — remember back in 2018? That's when Google dropped "Don't be evil" as its motto.
Mozilla's leadership is directionless and flailing because it's never had to do, or be, anything else. It's never needed to know how to make a profit, because it never had to make a profit. It's no wonder it has no real direction or vision or clue: it never needed them. It's role-playing being a business.

This is a good summary of all the good they have done and also how they repeatedly throw out the baby but keep the bathwater.

And this interesting bit.

Mozilla is, sadly, far from alone in having faltering leadership. Around the industry, tech execs who couldn't tell an LLM bot from an MLM scheme if their lives depended on it are investing in AI. It's not just cool, it's a cult now. This isn't hyperbole. The phenomenon has a name – it's called TESCREAL, and it is without exaggeration on its way to becoming a religion.

#Mozilla #Firefox #TESCREAL

Silicon Valley’s Obsession With AI Looks a Lot Like Religion

The tech world’s obsession with artificial intelligence has spawned beliefs and rituals that resemble religion — complete with digital deities, moral codes, and threats of damnation.

yes, that fdroid
why?
because promoting fascist proprietary software somehow seems normal for them, so normal that this post - floss.social/@fdroidorg/114778… stayed up a whole week, and their shit isn't fixed. they don't even address it

just migrate to fashtodon.org at this point, fucking pieces of shit.
honestly big L on floss admins too for not approaching them to enforce their rule "DON'T forget we're all here because we want a fun, safe, enjoyable place to communicate and share" because clearly promoting garbage made by Brendan fucking Eich is suuuch a good way to have a fun and safe enjoyable place.
