La tecnologia è neutrale, finché non guardi chi la finanzia

La tecnologia non è neutrale: Substack o 12 milioni di dollari mostrano come funzionano i finanziamenti delle piattaforme.
Dalla moderazione "hands off" di Substack alla fondazione di Omarchy, sostenuta da Shopify, Stripe, Dell, Cloudflare e 1Password...
Insomma, cosa vuol dire dichiararsi apolitici quando si prendono soldi dai grandi nomi del settore? Boicottare tutto è fattibile? Il server in casa è l'unica strada coerente, ma per chi non è un sistemista cosa rimane?

I might have found a tiny bug in #Guix Deploy's Hetzner module.

When provisioning a new Hetzner machine, Guix Deploy uses `(%hetzner-default-server-image api)` to select one of Hetzner's Debian images, typically something like `debian-13`.

However, if you've enabled backups for any of your other VPSes, `(hetzner-api-images api)` also returns a bunch of unrelated backup images. This confuses Guix - `(%hetzner-default-server-image api)` returns nothing and the provisioning fails.

This seems to fix it: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/11689

Uit dit artikel van @anildash, dat begint met de term 'unalive', leid ik af dat ik met mijn eerdere toot heb verraden hoe oud ik ben.
Het is een lezenswaardig pleidooi om te stoppen met allerlei verhullend taalgebruik op socials, om te ontsnappen aan censuur en om naar de pijpen van algoritmen te dansen.
Ik licht een mooie vraag eruit: "Do you think today’s AI tools even know that the real, uncensored world exists? If you can’t say “genocide” on any of the major platforms, yet those are the ones all of the Big AI tools used as their training data... well, then the AI tools sure aren’t very likely to know much about genocide, are they?" https://www.anildash.com/2026/10/06/kill-unalive/ #AI #censorship #opensocials #Genocide #unalive

Un bon article dans la presse mainstream sur les #manifestations #étudiantes en #Belgique, en particulier à Liège.

Une mobilisation étudiante regardée avec mépris : des gilets jaunes aux gilets jeunes

https://www.rtbf.be/article/des-gilets-jaunes-aux-gilets-jeunes-11796193

On y parle de mépris, de #riot porn, de #protest paradigm.

Je n'hésiterais pas à ajouter un point, un accusation, directe et sans ambiguïté.

Messieurs et mesdames les politicien.nes, prendrez-vous vos responsabilités face à cette violence et ce gâchis, qui sont les résultats directs du sous-financement systématique del'enseignement et, par là, du mépris des jeunes ?

Ou allez-vous plutôt continuer à tirer profit de cette situation de violence comme excuse pour renforcer une politique de répression, d'humiliation, et d'exploitation des citoyen.nes les plus vulnérables, minimiser vos responsabilités et valider vos politiques oppressives ?

(je crains que cette question ne soit que rhétorique)

Coming soon: In Zusammenarbeit mit der Byzantinistik @UniKoeln entwickeln Sviatoslav Drach und Benedikte Löbbert @bloebber derzeit eine #VR-Ausstellung byzantinischer Münzen. Die (meisten) Münzen sind aus institutseigener Sammlung (https://numid.uni-koeln.de), die Texte stammen u. a. von Studierenden und die technische Umsetzung kommt von uns – wir gewähren hier schon einmal einen kleinen Einblick...
