"workers admitted to sabotaging their company’s AI by [...] intentionally using low-quality AI output in their work without fixing it"
Lol. Sounds an awful lot like the company is sabotaging itself in this case.
My intrusive thoughts usually revolve around yeeting my phone off a bridge or a boat. I've managed to contain myself so far.
As for storm drains, I lost my keys down a deep one a few months back. Went to the hardware store and bought strong magnets and a wire and got them out after a lengthy fishing expedition.
To find jobs in Norway, try searching for the word "jobbportal". At least some of these sites allow you to sort for English language jobs.
If we can have fewer nazis at the price of a slight inconvenience for users who were born in 1988 and for some reason want to have their birth year in their user name....
Yeah, I'll take fewer nazis, please.
I'm fine others may disagree, but let's at least be honest what we talk about when we talk about "controversial moderation".
It seems Ernest recovered, and just decided to step away after his health got better!
Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I had to step away from actively working on Kbin and leave its further development to the community. Nevertheless, I am happy to see the project thriving, with a dedicated group of users and contributors who continue to push its vision forward.
Open-source has always been important to me, and while I am no longer involved with Kbin, I still believe in the power of community and the potential of open technologies to shape the future of the internet.
Again, what exactly are you talking about?
Which computer software is ever not implemented on a "code level"?
The lead developer recently started a thread in the Piefed meta community specifically to open for people to ask questions about these things. In full:
I have received word that there are people combing through the PieFed code looking for anything that might be harmful. This is excellent and can only make PieFed better and less harmful.
We appreciate their interest in PieFed and look forward to answering any questions and showing people around the code. Please join us at https://chat.piefed.social/ or https://matrix.to/#/#piefed-developers:matrix.org.There’s no need to listen to rumors and amateur speculation when we’re right here and happy to help. Come on in, the water’s fine!
Nobody in the thread managed to come up with an even remotely critical question. I'm not in the chat so I'm not sure if there were any interesting discussions there, but it's safe to say it's hard to find the weird conspiracies floating around reflected in the actual development.
If you have an issue, ask in !piefed_meta@piefed.social. If the community agrees your concern is valid I can guarantee you it'll be addressed.
There's also the question of what exactly would constitute controversial moderation. If we could hard code out fascists, stalinists, and misogynists, I would be entirely in favour. There's no need to supply these people with tools for their nonsense. My only issue with it is that it's not realistic without generating false positives. I don't speak for Piefed here though, just my personal opinion.
Also multi-communities is a pretty central feature. A list of differences with Lemmy is maintained here.
Piefed is Lemmy with cross-posts collapsed to one thread, and controversial developers (moderation defaults)
Would love to hear which moderation defaults of PieFed are so controversial. Your phrasing seems to indicate that Lemmy developers' support for Putin and Xi Jinping is no more controversial than Piefed developers' preference to silence trolls and fascists.
The rules for Piefed.social are available here. The software Piefed ships with some default moderation options enabled, which can be disabled should the server admin choose to do so. I think having stricter moderation enabled by default when people set up a new server that they may or may not know how to manage effectively is obviously a better choice than to set the default to "anything goes".
Yes, absolutely. They are digging their grave with their transition to being an AI company and it will absolutely catch up with them eventually.
This is not being ignored my Microsoft
My impression is that Microsoft won't care all that much. They are primarily a cloud service provider at this point, and while they will try to squeeze Windows users for as much money and information as possible before it goes down for good they have no real interest in keeping on developing Windows. It's just not where the real money is at.
It doesn't make sense outside the world of capitalism, but we see again and again that big tech companies are happy to kill even profitable services if they are not their most profitable services. Microsoft's revenue these days comes from selling cloud office solutions to (seemingly) every company on the planet. Even their own cloud runs on Linux, meaning that Microsoft themselves makes more money off Linux than Windows these days.
Windows is now in the extraction phase of enshittification, and Microsoft will profit as much as they can from it while they still have market power while spending minimal resources developing the product. Windows has effectively been declared dead already, and remains as a sofware zombie just like Facebook. Windows 12 is not going to be an improvement upon 11; it'll be another fuck you to the customers, and the beatings will continue until customers leave for good and Microsoft are finally relieved of their side gig of making an operative system.

The crew of the Mikeno, who may have broken the siege of Gaza [UPDATE: Kidnapped by Israel]
(media.piefed.social)
Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter.
~~While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza:~~

edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion.
Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel: https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689
According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized "all but one" of the vessels carrying aid:

This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed:

Update:
It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel "Mikeno" was seized by the Israeli Navy.
The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The "Mikeno" made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

Whenever I go through a slideshow of pictures in a community in tile view, such as !photography@piefed.social, the behaviour is a bit janky for me.
On Firefox in android, swiping right moves one picture at the time, but sliding left (and forwards in the slideshow) sends me through a bunch of pictures making it difficult to navigate.
On Firefox in desktop (Linux) and moving to the right using arrow keys, the picture display slowly drifts to the left: After going through 20 pictures, half the image on display is outside of my screen. With every new picture it moves further to the left.
In both cases the X button moves along.
