Do we really need video podcasts?

@etymology_nerd I am not cool enough to be verified. So, I will just leave this here. I am about halfway through your book and it is really good.

Applied to two jobs. Lets see how this goes.

I have learned that I use social media incorrectly. I am also terrible at entering today's job market.

[Brice @deletedabm]

I am constantly amazed at how bad my luck is.

I don't understand how you're supposed to switch careers when every job outside your current field looks at your experience and assumes you're incapable of doing anything else.

A nationwide ��worker shortage” and 5 round job interviews existing simultaneously is pretty funny

Australia is planning to implement some of the harshest anti-AI policies in the world.

Under the proposed laws, it will be illegal to train AI on people's work without consent and compensation. They'd also force data centers to produce the same amount of power they use.

Companies make deleting your account harder than getting a divorce.

So, a guy named Robb built a directory of direct links to delete your account from web services.

It is called JustDeleteMe.

You type in a company name. It gives you the exact URL that kills your account, plus a color telling you how much of a fight they're going to put up.

🟩 Green means two clicks.
🟨 Yellow means you'll have to dig.
🟥 Red means they've made it deliberately painful.
⬛️ Black means you literally cannot delete it, ever, no matter what you do.

That last category is the part that gets people.

There are companies sitting in the black tier right now holding your name, your email, your photos, your search history, and there is no button anywhere on their site that removes any of it. Not hidden. Not hard. Just absent.

Most people have somewhere between 100 and 300 accounts they've forgotten about. Old forums. That one shopping site from 2014. The app you downloaded once for a coupon.

Every single one is still sitting on a server with your data in it, waiting to show up in the next breach headline.

JustDeleteMe turns a weekend of misery into an afternoon.

Its sister site, JustGetMyData, does the reverse. Direct links to request everything a company has collected on you before you pull the plug. Download it first. Then delete.

Nobody is going to clean this up for you.

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against YouTube over its "ad-free" subscription claims

Plaintiffs argue YouTube Premium still shows ads because creators include sponsorship segments in their videos

Red Hat might have committed the biggest open source betrayal in Linux history.

CentOS had been the backbone of enterprise Linux since 2004. Disney, Toyota, Verizon, GoDaddy. All running on it. All completely free.

In December 2020, Red Hat announced CentOS 8 would die eight years earlier than promised.

Gregory Kurtzer, the original co-founder of CentOS, was still watching.

Hours after the announcement he committed to building a replacement. He named it after Rocky McGaugh, his CentOS co-founder who died in 2004 without ever seeing the project succeed.

He called it Rocky Linux.

Within two months Rocky Linux had 10,000 contributors. Within half a day of its first stable release, it was downloaded over 10,000 times. AWS backed the build infrastructure. Within a year it was running in production across the industry.

Red Hat did not stop there.

In 2023 they restricted access to RHEL's source code entirely, aiming directly at Rocky Linux and its rival AlmaLinux. Without the source, neither project could stay compatible.

The community's response was bigger than one distro this time.

Oracle, SUSE and Rocky's parent company CIQ formed an entirely new alliance called OpenELA specifically to keep enterprise Linux source code public. Their actual tagline: "No subscriptions. No passwords. No barriers. Freeloaders welcome."

Red Hat tried to kill CentOS once. The community rebuilt it.

Red Hat tried to cut off the replacement. The community built an alliance to protect it.

Some companies think open source means you can take it back whenever you want.

The community keeps proving them wrong.

This is the price of Ukrainian bread.

Kherson. Burning wheat fields.

These aren't just fields.

They're food set ablaze by russian drone strikes.

Firefighters can't reach the fires.

russia isn't just destroying Ukraine. It's burning food meant to feed the world.

🚨 Today the California Senate Committee held a hearing on the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” known as AB 2624. This bill will criminalize and punish anyone from looking into fraud inside immigrant communities in California.

This bill was created only after I exposed billions of dollars in fraud throughout immigrant communities in the US. “Immigration support services” have become a billion dollar industry in California, and now that the fraud has been exposed, they are trying to criminalize those who look into the fraud.

The bill has passed through the California Assembly and is set to pass through the Senate and then to Governor Newsom’s desk. This bill was created by the Attorney Generals WIFE and will allow him to go after citizens if they film nonprofits and “immigration support services providers”.

Welcome to Califraudia.

MICROSOFT IS LAYING OFF 2.5% OF ITS STAFF, OVER 5,000 PEOPLE.

The fuller picture:

Microsoft has been the 6th largest H-1B filer in the country since 2020, bringing in foreign workers year after year even as it cuts American jobs.

Just months ago it pushed quiet buyouts on older US staff. About a third of the 9,000 eligible took the exit. This round lands on top of that.

LinkedIn, which Microsoft owns outright, cut 875 jobs this year, about 5% of its staff, even as revenue grew 12% and they continued to file H-1B applications.

Xbox takes the hardest hit. Under new CEO Asha Sharma's "reset," its layoffs are reportedly to be the largest single layoff in gaming history.

Record profits, and still one of the top H-1B sponsors in America. Thousands of American jobs, gone.

@zen_browser encountering a strange bug. When opening a web link from my email, like a LinkedIn link, I cannot close the page. To go back to my email tab. I have to force close the tab and reload the tab. Thanks for a great browser though.

[Brice @deletedabm]

I forgot I still even had an account. I apologize for not being very active. I just don't really have anything much to say. Unless you would want to hear all my complaints.
