First to tongue the boot when it comes to this age verification shit I see.

The blatent use of "AI" to strip copyleft and claim that obvious derivatives are "reimplementations" has begun. This must be fought. Start filing license violation bug reports and abuse reports on projects like this.

Claude is down again and I am seeing people basically go through withdrawal.

If you are feeling it, recognize it for what it is.

“I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do.

So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired. I felt a tiny dopamine hit of legitimacy.

Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service.

Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s”

Hello, Fediverse 👋

I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with values-led businesses.

I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.

Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.
