I love awkward animals from medieval manuscripts, so I wanted to do a drawing inspired by them for a while. And a few days ago I saw a fun looking fox holding an astrolabe. I switched it for a pride flag, because why not. A pride flag is a great accessory for a fox! 
Also, happy pride! 
Die Schufa verlagert Bonitätsdaten von 69 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland auf AWS-Server und spricht dabei von »Datenschutz, Sicherheit und digitaler Souveränität«. Das ist blanker Hohn.
Der US-Cloud-Act kann Amazon zur Herausgabe von Daten verpflichten, auch wenn die Server in Europa stehen. Wer hochsensible Finanzdaten einem US-Konzern überlässt, handelt nicht souverän, sondern bequem.
Und das Beste: Man kann seine Daten bei der Schufa nicht einmal einfach löschen lassen, sondern höchstens falsche, veraltete oder unzulässig gespeicherte Einträge korrigieren oder entfernen lassen.
WTF?!
⏰️ Submit your Matrix Conf talks before Sunday!
The CfP will close on Sunday 14 at 23:59 CEST. If you haven't already, now's your chance to submit a talk proposal for The Matrix Conference in October 2026 in Sweden 🇸🇪
gm to everyone working day and night trying to make Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Larry Ellison's social platforms irrelevant
also, let me disrecommend 1st Movers Edinburgh https://1stmovers.co.uk/ as a removals company. They will give you the best quote, underspecify the quote so you don't have enough carrying capacity in the trucks, not give the actual movers the list of items, try to nickel and dime you on things that needed disassembly to move out that didn't need it to move in, and gaslight you on items that went missing on the truck. Don't use them. Please forward this to everyone you know in Scotland.
the actual movers (who 1st got in for the job) were excellent! First as the agency for them, not so much

As some of you may already know, I'm finishing my Bachelor's degree this semester! 🎉
I'm already thinking about what my next steps should be, and I'm considering pursuing a Master's degree and/or looking for a fellowship of some sort. I was wondering, does anyone know any programs aligned with research in free and open source ecosystems _and_ technopolitics?
@TheBreadmonkey The only way to stop a bad guy made of AI is a good guy made of AI.
What a picture!😍 Gunnar Hartmann has won this year’s #ScientistAtWork photo competition run by the journal Nature with a photograph of the bald ibis project.
Huge congratulations!

FANTASTIC NEWS FOR THE FREEDOM OF PRESS AND INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM🎉 🎉 🎉
Palantir loses almost all points in their lawsuit seeking for a "right to reply" against Republik Magazin regarding the joint investigation by WAV Recherchekollektiv and Republik—according to the ruling, on “95%”, on 22 out of 23 points.
Full details on the lawsuit and the ruling will be available tomorrow morning at republik.ch.
As always, when the "AI is making it harder for applicants!" versus "AI is letting applicants flood hiring managers!" debate flares up, my sympathy is 1,000,000,000% with the applicants.
Oh, it's hard for you to give people jobs? Get fucked.

The JUNO detector, a huge sphere full of 20,000 tonnes of transparent organic goop, is detecting antineutrinos produced by two nuclear reactors each located the same distance away. After just 2 months, it measured some things about neutrino masses better than ever before! A paper was just published on this.
We're trying to understand the masses of the 3 neutrinos. A big problem is that most experiments can't detect the actual masses, only fancier things that are easier to measure. So, we don't even know which neutrino is the heaviest! JUNO may figure this out, though.
Let me tell you a bit more:
The 3 neutrinos have masses called m₁, m₂ and m₃. Yes, we physicists are very creative about naming things. We know m₁ and m₂ are really close to each other, while m₃ is further away. We also know m₁ < m₂, thanks to neutrinos coming out of the Sun. But we don't know whether m₃ is bigger than both the other masses, or smaller! So right now there are two possibilities:
• Normal ordering: m₁ < m₂ < m₃, so m₃ is the heaviest and sits above the closely-spaced m₁, m₂ pair.
• Inverted ordering: m₃ < m₁ < m₂, so m₃ is the lightest, sitting below the closely-spaced pair.
There's a bit of evidence supporting the normal ordering, which is why it's called the 'normal' ordering. Like I said, we physicists are very creative.
In about 5 years, the JUNO team should know which ordering is the right one! But right now, after just 2 months of taking data, they've just measured m₂² - m₁² more accurately than ever before. So they are happy.
But the whole business of neutrino masses is weirder than I've made it sound.

"Too Big To Fail"
Remember that?
Now tax dollars (and Pounds) will go into bailing out the AI companies when the bubble bursts.
Get the feeling this was planned out years ago?

Wir begrüßen die Ausführungen der @dfg_public , @HRK_aktuell und dem @WissRat gegen #Polarisierung und #Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit.
Um nicht selbst die Plattformen zu legitimieren, auf denen diese Positionen verbreitet werden, fordern wir die Institutionen der #Wissenschaft auf, die Rolle der sozialen Medien kritisch zu prüfen, wofür wir und die uns unterstützenden Digitalorganisationen als Gesprächspartner zur Verfügung stehen.
In unserem Appell an die #HRK
👉 https://openpetition.de/UnisInsFediverse
haben wir bereits vor zwei Jahren darauf hingewiesen, „dass die Art und Weise wie die großen Social-Media-Plattformen betrieben werden, eine ernste Gefährdung unseres demokratischen Gemeinwesens darstellt.“
Setzen Sie #Mastodon und die anderen Dienste des #Fediverse an die erste Stelle der #socialmedia-Aktivitäten – so wie es die @EUCommission vor kurzem und viele andere zuvor schon getan haben.
ich bin gerade in hamburg und brauch für ein theaterstück so n Telefon. Kann mir evtl jemand kurzfristig eins ausleihen? Oder sowas ähnlich oldschool mäßiges?
