with #GenAI development killing off the diversity and artistic creativity of #engineering in computing, there's some danger we could lose software "engineering" altogether go.cpf.sh/r6dq5a

london underground signalling is powered by interlocking dogs and cats.. wonder what the furry high commission has to say about this (Laurence Stant's talk was excellent, highly recommend!) #emfcamp

Join me on Stage A at 2pm today at #emfcamp to learn how to debug a human 🩺💻

@firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social @hermannus@stegodon.nl hi - understand your logic here, and I get the impulse to try to reach as many people as possible, especially from a comms/marketing perspective. I also really appreciate the fact that whoever's on the other end of this account is talking through it like a human being! I think it's fair to challenge though the idea of "simply to reach more users", because that implies that there are no lines that Mozilla wouldn't cross to achieve that; can we expect to see an official Firefox account on Truth Social, or Parler, or Gab? I'd assume (and hope!) not, but those would also reach users - though clearly with diminishing rewards, but if they were to reach a critical mass, would that line be crossed? What Mozilla has essentially done is made a decision that the harms done by Mozilla's patronage of a platform that is credibly accused of systematic racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, misinformation, and proliferation of CSAM are outweighed by the users it reaches through it. That's not a neutral decision; it sends a message that those users are more strategically important to Mozilla than those impacted by the real-world harms on X. I hope you can understand why so many are saddened and upset to see it happen, and I hope there is internal pushback on this too.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange astounding admission that they just straight up did what would in any other context happily be called cybercrime tbh

@q@glauca.space @maisie@tech.lgbt uninterruptible parcel silliness

#EMFcamp travel day! yippeeeeeeeeeeee- remembers this means she has to drive for five hours oh,, worth it though!!! see you all in the field

@enfys@wetdry.world 96V for LEDs what 😭

@q@glauca.space i mean. i realise Literally the Only People who would ever use this would be hacker camp nerds BUT. now i really wanna make a scrungled version of one of these with a cell modem strapped on

it is in your best interests to keep an eye out for the Moons around Site @emf@social.emfcamp.org 👁️🌙👁️ #EMFCamp #FOTM #moonhunt

@jacob.gold come to the other side of the @fed.brid.gy bridge 😉 we have at least the first two already! (as indicated by my client trying to spell check this post a little overzealously)

@theresnotime@fox.nexus insert euler diagram of the overlap between mathematicians and members of polycules here

@Waterfox@mastodon.social looks pretty good actually - might be tempted to give that a go for a while at least!

@felixweber.co.uk this seems unusually cheery in general for NHS design language, with the exclamation mark and all too 😭

Of course, this is totally academic in this case anyway as I don't think either party is subject to UK law - but it does raise an interesting question around fraud by false representation by AI agents. I've not heard of case law on this but I'd love to read it if there is some!

Changing your work Google account email really does highlight the sheer number of services that erroneously and insecurely use the email GSI claim rather than the sub GSI claim to authenticate users (because I suddenly can't log in to any of them) (it's very frustrating)

@leymoo@hachyderm.io that's terrible! if you look at your number in phones.emfcamp.org/numbers, you might be able to find its last handset ping location? might not be much good if you think someone's deliberately taken it though - so sorry 🫂

Oh, excuse me! It also gets an Instagram post from the local BBC London account in which nobody interviewed mentions the event as a protest, and it is described as a "celebration" instead. 🙃

any more folks coming to #LondonTransPride tomorrow? come say hi i will be there ​​

an excellent and incredibly salient post; I fear that the shift in tech in the last two decades is down to more than the uspol mentioned within, but it truly is a deeply concerning shift RE: mastodon.social/users/rasterweb/statuses/116978614460472831

150,000 people turn up to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's "Unite the Kingdom" protest and the BBC ["thoroughly cover" it "across \[their\] news network throughout the day"](www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaint/bbcnewsunitethekingdom13092025). 150,000 people turn up to #LondonTransPride and it gets one article on the BBC's local London news that spends most of its words unopposedly repeating the Government's view on the transphobic EHRC guidance. 🤔

@castaway@fosstodon.org I can probably be described as thin-ish and semi-technical if you need still 😅

@ret@furry.engineer they've announced they're re-opening their X account is where a lot of today's stuff has come from

@q@glauca.space whAT android can support dect connections?!? how does one learn this magic omg i need one of these (also does it roam between dect and gsm??)

@q@glauca.space yeah I meant the cellular-DECT roaming one - obvs if you're working with one of these in a hospital using DECT for bleeps or w/e you're not gonna need to roam off site etc

@maisie@tech.lgbt if you turn the synth volume up loud enough you can use it to summon a carrier pigeon into your basement to ship the sound file into the fediverse on a USB stick
