As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders
Ars staffers take aim at some of the web’s worst predatory practices.Ars Staff (Ars Technica)
if that distinction is relevant, it would be worth preserving in translations. @pluralistic@mamot.fr, did you mean "enshittify sth" to mean "turn sth into shit" or "add shit to sth"?

Trump will seinem Vorgänger Biden die Sicherheitsfreigabe entziehen
Traditionell haben Ex-Präsidenten in den USA nach dem Ausscheiden aus dem Amt das Recht, Zugang zu Geheimdienstinformationen zu erhalten. Trump will seinem Vorgänger Biden dieses Recht nun entziehen - offenbar als Retourkutsche.

Been writing and storyboarding all week and it feels amazing to see these characters come to life again. It will take time to complete the next episode, it's an ambitious one, but I'm definitely on it.
WTF Mozilla? I'm hoping they just forgot to delete this verbiage from their terms of service, which suggests they are still working with the personal data removal service OneRep.
mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/…
Last year, Mozilla said it was dropping its partnership with OneRep after a story I published showed its founder had created dozens of people-search services and was even running one of the larger ones whilst selling services to help people remove their information from these sites.

I want a fedi Instagram thing.
I had previously backed the Pixelfed project on Kickstarter.
I've canceled that pledge because of the lead dev's behavior, and would encourage you to do the same.

It is worth remembering that accepting the work assignment and then massively screwing it up in plausibly deniable ways is a time-honored approach taken by people who have feared for their lives or families if they said no.

Das wird interessant. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass im #Pentagon die #Hacker -crews von #Musk eine ganz andere #willkommenskultur erleben werden, als in der eher trockenen Finanzverwaltung oder dem #Bildungsministerium der #usa , das die #twentysomethings gerade mit Zustimmung von #Trump gekapert haben. Auch wenn im großen Fünfeck gerade #Hegseth den Chef mimt.

Heidi Reichinnek, Spitzenkandidatin der LINKEN, startet ihren allerersten Videopodcast – Gemeinsam reden sie über Kinderarmut, LGBTQ+-Rechte und den Kampf gegen rechte Hetze. Wie soll man sich gesund ernähren, wenn das Geld hinten und vorne nicht reicht? Welches Coming Out war schlimmer - das vor den Eltern oder das Bekenntnis zur Linken für die kommende Bundestagswahl? Und wieso werden Superreiche nicht ausreichend besteuert? Es wird persönlich, ehrlich und emotional.

Nur mal so zur Info, queere Menschen bzw. Allys werden von der N.Z.Z. jetzt schon als Tugendjakobiner beschimpft.
Verlinke ich nicht, das kriegt von mir keine Reichweite.
Mich Jakobinerin zu nennen, dass ist echt schon krass.

For my #trans siblings in the US: you might find this wiki with potential exit strategies to leave the US useful in the months to come. Read the linked thread!

-= We hoped we never had to do this but here we are and we now have to do this. =-American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.
We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.
So we made a wiki.
We are collecting information on possible exit routes into various countries. We focus on work, study and self employment visas as they are available at the moment.
