when google did layoffs a few years ago tons of people found out they were laid off because they couldn't badge in after commuting to the office

multiple people on my team and neighboring teams were affected by the layoffs but the crazy thing is i know people who were rehired within a few months of being let go

i think companies just have a large margin of error when they do these things. they figure the handful of people they incorrectly lay off will pale in comparison to the cost savings they reap by removing a large percentage of the workforce

these layoffs feel so dystopian nowadays especially since meta employees ended up learning the exact day the massive cuts would happen

imagine having to do your job the last few weeks knowing that thousands of people were going to be laid off by the end of the month

i actually don't think these layoffs should surprise people since businesses will always do what's best for business and it's best to accept that notion when you join any company

never be loyal to a company because a company will never be loyal to you

you have a 9+ digit employee number at these companies for a reason because you're literally just a number

these companies don't owe you anything and this should feel freeing since it should make you realize you don't owe them anything either

don't feel bad about quitting
don't feel bad about taking vacation
don't feel bad about signing off early

employees should min-max employment the same way companies min-max employees

just use @brave

before you comment, just set Brave Shields to Aggressive mode if the already best of breed default is not enough for your needs.

before you comment on that, understand that uBO is still supported in Brave too, so you can still use it if you find joy in redundancy.

La DGSI qui utilise PALANTIR, le logiciel US 🇺🇸de Peter Thiel, ALERTE sur le risque d'usage de logiciels étrangers et "préconise aussi de "privilégier les solutions françaises ou, à défaut, hébergées en France lorsqu'une solution française ne peut être choisie".

Relisez la phrase encore une fois.

I’ve used LinkedIn from the hiring side so trust me on this.

If the company isn’t paying for premium, they can only see a fraction of applications. That Easy Apply you clicked on? Over 100 applicants. The company can only access less than 50 profiles cause it’s not paid.

Your CV didn’t get rejected. It was never seen. Apply on the company’s career page directly or reach out to the recruiter. Those are the ones that actually land.

Grok is incorrect.

Telegram is not privacy focused, and Signal is the gold standard for truly private communications. Telegram is a social media network that collects an extraordinary amount of data, and offers limited encryption that is not even on by default. Signal is solely a comms app that ensures truly private communications—we cannot turn over your data because we do not have it.

The problem is that Telegram talks a big game about privacy, while not walking the walk. And since LLMs like Grok’s models scrape text without being able to independently verify, they easily—as here—weight BS the same as truth.

The truth is signal is far superior—don’t trust me on that, check the code, check in with your favorite cryptographer. ❤️

A reminder: apps on your phone can see other apps.
Your bank app knows you have that crypto app.
That govt app knows you have that political app.

That's why I recommend using @GrapheneOS so that you can silo apps across profiles.

Pendant 20 ans vous avez confié votre vie privée à des entreprises étrangères et vous leur avez tout donné sans vous poser de questions

vos photos, vos messages, vos déplacements, vos recherches… parce que c’était gratuit et vous avez fini par comprendre (bcp trop tard) que si c’est gratuit c’est donc VOUS LE PRODUIT

aujourd’hui vous payez 20 dollars par mois ChatGPT et vous lui confiez vos pensées les + intimes, vos doutes, vos stratégies, vos projets en pensant que cette fois parce que vous payez vos données vont rester privées

10 millions de personnes paient désormais ChatGPT en générant 2,7 milliards de dollars par an pour OpenAI mais spoiler: ces données ne resteront JAMAIS privées

par défaut vos convs sont utilisées pour entraîner les modèles & même en désactivant l’historique vos données transitent par leurs serveurs & peuvent être partagées avec des tiers

sachez par ex qu’en mars 2023 une fuite majeure a exposé des milliers d’infos d’utilisateurs & en novembre 2025 des chercheurs ont découvert 7 vulnérabilités permettant de voler vos convs sans que vous le sachiez

des centaines de milliers de convs ChatGPT se sont retrouvées indexées sur Google parce que des utilisateurs ont partagé des liens devenus publics

imaginez mtn que dans 10 ans vous ayez des ambitions politiques hautes ou que vous vouliez créer une startup qui dérange des acteurs bien établis, pensez vous vraiment que personne ne ressortira ces convs où vous avez dévoilé vos faiblesses, vos opinions controversées, vos stratégies pour vous détruire au moment opportun??

la naïveté européenne sera transcrite dans tous les livres d’histoire & pendant que vous pensiez acheter de la confidentialité avec 20 dollars par mois vous avez juste acheté le droit de payer pour donner vos secrets

ne soyez pas stupides

I suggest we propose a counter-law to this:

⚖️ PoliticianControl

Where all European citizens can read any EU politician's chats at any moment

To keep them all in check

Act quickly; you have until November 3, 2025, to let Microsoft know that you don't want your LinkedIn data used for AI training.

You're opted in by default...

Head to Account - Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement & toggle the switch off.

We're going to make Omarchy as good as it can get for Linux gaming! And then, once everything is perfect, I shall make my case to @TimSweeneyEpic once more that we need Fortnite on Linux 😄

[Reclaim The Net @ReclaimTheNetHQ]

Over 500 cryptography & security experts just blasted the EU’s “Chat Control 2.0,” calling it “technically infeasible” and a blueprint for mass surveillance.

The law would force apps, even encrypted ones, to scan every message. Experts warn it breaks encryption, creates new security holes, and floods investigators with false positives.

[SimpleX Chat @SimpleXChat]

It looks like Germany is opposing #ChatControl.

BREAKING: Europe's Anti-AI Act is set to be reduced

After yesterday's great news that the European Commission wants to scrap the GDPR

Today there's talk about reducing the AI Act, better know as the "Anti-AI Act", which makes it nearly impossible for AI companies to operate legally inside Europe

Specifically the European Commission says wants to reduce the administrative burden, reporting obligations, and leaves nothing off the table to potentially remove to make it easier for AI companies to operate in Europe

In a great bid to make Europe's tech scene competitive again as AI is now the dominant technology of our time

👻 The ghost of Thierry Breton is finally leaving the EU!
