Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir
techdirt.com/2026/02/27/palant

Please note that Palantir would rather that you didn't share this story, it makes them look even more stupid if you do...

@Mrfunkedude Well thank goodness, we were all beginning to get scared!

@Connewitz @grouchox @pixelfedde

It was the app. Apparently the token expired and I had to log out completely and log in again.

If you are unable to login at all, then you probably need to contact the admin.

😑 Just deployed the latest build of my personal website, where I created a contact form. Then realized after deployment ... I forgot the link to the contact page.

This could be because we all mask our problems, and it's easier to do this for the short time we discuss something online.

It is harder to mask that you have a problem when you are surrounded by team members all day. Something is bound to slip. While the problem could be private in nature, it still affects your professional life and the team.

It's these sort of cues that I use to help guide my team. This is something I can't do from behind a screen hundreds of KM away.

This all sounded great, but they are 100% remote, and to be honest it's not something I think I can pull off.

This is pretty much a "me" problem. For me to work well in a team I have to get to know them a bit. Not like I have to know all the names of their pet fish, but a bit about them. I can only do this in person. I can pick up the cues to their personality only if I get to meet them and spend time with them doing the job. This doesn't work when my only connection is on a monitor.

I'm a senior software developer, and since November I've been passively looking for new opportunities. Mostly because I need change, and wanting to get more experience in team building.

The company that contacted me had a lot to offer. They are a software consultancy where they form teams to assist their customers with various projects.

They provided generous and transparent compensation, a travel budget for team visits, and a budget for more training.

2026-02-01

I wrote a rejection letter (email) yesterday for the first time in my career. It wasn't that the offer was bad, and the company had a lot going for it. It was one thing that kept me from going further. So let's discuss.

Antrag: CDU will Mindestlohn-Ausnahmen für Saisonarbeiter

Saisonarbeitskräfte in der Landwirtschaft sollen nach Willen der CDU künftig vom Mindestlohn ausgenommen werden. Sie übten keine Vollerwerbstätigkeit aus. Ähnliche Vorschläge scheiterte bislang am Widerstand der SPD.

@grouchox @pixelfedde I'll try that. I can access the site via my mobile browser, just not with the app. I prefer using the app similar to how people use Instagram ... Only better 😁

Looks like I'm going to need to migrate my Pixelfed account. I can't access the pixelfed.de service via the pixelfed app, and I can't seem to find a way to request support. I tried reaching out to @pixelfedde but it hasn't posted since May last year, and I've not received an answer.

So I paint as a hobby and enjoy sharing my paintings. Does anyone have any suggestions?

RE: mastodon.social/@verge/1159627

Want to replace TikTok? Great. Join @loops. Otherwise, the problem will just follow you to the next platform and keep resurfacing every time that next platform reaches critical mass. Unfortunately, this problem will never get solved, because platforms and the creators that have contempt for them share the same commercial incentives. It’s why news outlets stay on X — the America First CSAM platform.

Eisstürme sind zur seltsamen Regelmäßigkeit geworden. Straßenbahn komplett eingestellt, S- und U-Bahn wegen aller möglicher Probleme auf vielen wichtigen Linien unterbrochen (Baustellen, futsche Fahrzeuge, Kabelklau etc.). Busse überfordert. Radwege natürlich nicht geräumt. Auto? Tipitopi gesalzen.

Hey @pixelfedde is there a problem with the API that the pixelfed app uses? Your service only seems to be available via browser.
