I repost a lot because my life is kinda boring so well that's it.
Reposting is not an endorsement.

A sign of the times.
None of these fucking people give a fuck about women's sports. None of them have ever even been to a women's sports event. None of them have ever listened to women sports stars who say, repeatedly, clearly, and calmly, that they welcome trans-femme athletes to their ranks.
@ml in many eu countries a post phd level job is among the "qualified" jobs and if you can hold it for a number of years (5-10) and pass a bunch of tests you can qualify for citizenship. But both finding a job after the phd (before your visa runs out), and actually staying in one county/job for long enough, are highly uncertain things esp with families. Some counties also have very very long timelines after qualifying.
在手机上刷到一个东西想分享给朋友,打开网页,弹出一个全屏浮层:"在App里获得更好体验"。

关掉浮层,滚了一半,又弹出来。

这篇文章说得很准:网页版的败落不是技术问题,是激励问题。把用户从网页赶进App,PM的KPI就涨。进了App,广告拦截器失效,行为数据收完整,用户变成被圈养的流量。网页被刻意降级成漏斗入口,不是因为App体验更好,是因为App对平台更有利。

文章作者说他在浏览器里"像个神"——装了userscript,广告拦截器,自定义插件,能改掉一切不爽的地方。进了App,这些全没了,你只能接受平台给你的版本。

有意思的观察:不少App其实只是把JSON渲染成界面,本质上一行网页就能解决的事,却要下一个100MB的包,交出位置权限,让它在后台常驻。

这是enshittification在具体界面设计上的落地。

No, I Won't Download Your App. The Web Version is A-OK. | Sid's Blog

@GrapheneOS And this thing is old, for example, back when the first versions of Firefox were released, France had demanded versions of Firefox with significantly reduced security to allow law enforcement agencies to take remote control of it. I didn’t know about it at the time; I was too young, but I know it happened.

During the gradual transition to encrypting the web, France was reluctant and initially wanted to limit encryption to states websites and banks.

Surveillance by the French government has taken an even more aggressive turn since 2015, following the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

The GDPR has so far proven ineffective, and it is mainly due to the censorship and decisions of the Constitutional Council and the Court of Justice of the European Union that the French government is prevented from going further than it would like, but every year, it tries to circumvent these decisions.

Just in case nuclear war starts tonight I wanted to say, despite all the complaining, it’s been a jewel of a life with all of you, hanging on a golden chain of moments of togetherness and connection and care.

Smoke em if you got em I guess.

I'm pleased to share with you the greatest advancement in bottom-sheet technology since the invention of elastic.
