"Back at FOSDEM in February we showed off how Matrix could be used for E2EE-preserving messaging interoperability as required by the Digital Markets Act messaging interoperability - and we announced that Element had been working with Meta on integrating with its DMA APIs in order to connect WhatsApp to Matrix."

@ntnsndr I hope so! It feels like the DMA, or Meta's reading of it is (more than) a little problematic. What's to stop e.g. Google or others from shutting down contract-less SMTP-based email federation on those terms? Unless there's an exemption there, I don't see how those rules wouldn't apply across the board. Cc @pluralistic

US dockworkers suspend ports strike until January


Biden noted the need for ports to be open to "ensure the availability of critical supplies" for those hit by Hurricane Helene, which has left more than 200 people dead in the US south-east.


In other words, the situation would leave Biden the ability to enact "emergency powers" due to the severity of the Hurricane and the ongoing relief efforts... and could have seize control from the companies running/owning them (who are all foreign companies at this point). Presidential power to do so in an emergency is his to wield in such, just as it was Bush's when 9/11 happened or Roosevelt's during the Great Coal Strike or Roosevelt for the Railroads at the start of WW2. Better to share the pie with the workers then lose it all/

Well That Was Effective

Financially its about $5 a year pay increase for what are skilled professional certified trained positions and ones that can be dangerous and may involve with hazardous material. The details of the retirement fund changes, automation demands and other concerns haven't been revealed as yet in the general press). I'll see if there's more to pass along from the Shipping news show from Youtube if there is anything interesting.

Nuclear power plant owner wants $1.6 billion "loan guarantee" -- this means, in the end, a gift from the taxpayers -- to supply power to tech monopolist Microsoft.

This stinks in every conceivable way..

Nicole Mortillaro of CBC nicely lays out all the things that SpaceX's Starlink is doing to destroy astronomy and LEO.

"how much infrastructure in orbit do we need? How much can we put up there safely? How much can we put up there without having very long-term impacts on the environment?"

And of course, the article include the obligatory "SpaceX did not immediately respond to a CBC request for comment." because SpaceX doesn't think they have to answer to anyone.

Crazy. The For You feed is the root cause for so many of the ills in social media. The idea that “AI slop” will be injected as a test in people’s feeds in the coming months is another reason why the fediverse is more important than ever.
