W Social - Ein europäisches Start-Up will mit X konkurrieren.
Bisher kennen wir nur Werbe-Versprechen ohne konkrete Inhalte. Ich lass mich überraschen, was letztendlich als Prototyp präsentiert wird.
Das habe ich mit Deutschlandfunk Kultur besprochen:
@markus_netzpolitik Ich will keine Twitter Konkurrenz. Eine weitere Kopie von Twitter braucht kein Mensch. Sie sollen es besser machen!

Viral picture of Nigel Farage with child cancer patient debunked as AI fake
The image was used in two viral posts on Facebook.
A picture claiming to show Nigel Farage visiting a child with cancer in hospital to fulfil their ‘final wish’ has been debunked as fake.
The supposed image was shared in two posts on Facebook, one of which racked up more than 15,000 interactions.
The posts claimed that the image showed Farage visiting a girl with terminal brain cancer whose ‘final wish’ was to meet the Reform UK leader.
The pictures show a smiling Farage next to the child in a hospital bed, with the caption: “Nigel Farage canceled [sic] everything, boarded a plane, and walked quietly into a hospital room no one was watching.
“No spotlight. No audience. Just a man kneeling beside a hospital bed, holding a fragile hand, whispering words so powerful that doctors and nurses broke down in tears.”
Now, fact-checking service Full Fact has debunked the images as fakes that were created using artificial intelligence.

It's hard to believe that there are people who will give their vote to someone who is proven to be a fraud over and over again

One person scared Jeffrey Epstein.
When Jeffrey Epstein thinks you're the worst person in existence, then you are a real pile of shit. Like a 6'3" tall, 215lb pile of shit. Of course in reality it's probably closer to 320lbs.
Quite the accomplishment.

Horsetail
Seljalandsfoss is usually busy; it's a popular place and very accessible due to its proximity to the main Route 1 ring-road.
Because of photos of this falls taken at sunset, it felt as if everyone was there at once to see the fabled spray rainbows. You can just see a double bow here.
A cave offers some access behind the drop, and you can see some people there in this shot.

@liaizon Not yet because of the file size constraints, when we support media proxy urls, we can support them, but it does get tricky when it comes to PeerTube inclusion in the For You feed, perhaps we can include videos from PeerTube in the For You if they are under 3 minutes long.
@dansup that seems like a fair compromise

today i learned "berserk" as in "furiously violent or out of control" comes from old norse "berserker" (berserkir), who were "scandinavian warriors who were said to have fought in a trance-like fury."
but the word "berserker" itself means:
"bear shirt"

Sad to hear about the passing of Ken Boak. I've known Ken for many years, and we've met up at many events. He'll certainly be missed https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/rip-ken-boak-aka-monsonite/5536/6
My highlight of Fosdem26 was our panel ‘The Fediverse and the EU Digital Services Act: Solutions to the Challenges of Modern Social Media?' ✨
Thanks for giving me the possibility to speak about our @offene_netzwerke demands.
A huge thank you @jmaris for organising the panel & his excellent moderation. 👏
Thanks @alexandrageese member of the 🇪🇺 parliament, who took the time to join us & the FOSS community for this important debate over the weekend.

@samvie @jmaris @alexandrageese @offene_netzwerke And here is the recording. Was so sad that the room was already full.
