LE PROJET MÉDUSES, C’EST QUOI ?

Le Projet Méduses est un collectif créé en 2019. Son but : favoriser la prise en compte des intérêts des êtres sentients, qu’ils soient humains ou non.

----

L’objectif : éclairer les liens existant entre les oppressions (racisme, sexisme, spécisme...) pour mieux les combattre et promouvoir un monde plus égalitaire.

Una motovedetta libica donata dall’Italia spara contro la Sea-Watch 5

Dopo il salvataggio di 90 persone nel Mediterraneo centrale, miliziani libici aprono il fuoco contro la nave umanitaria. È il risultato criminale degli accordi tra Italia, Unione Europea e Libia per esternalizzare respingimenti e repressione delle migrazioni

Hey, PDX a11y peeps.

I’m giving a lecture on 9/27 with @pdxa11yux about using proper alt text for images and other media. Some of what I’m sharing was even forged with the help from the Mastodon community.

Topics include implementation methods, phonetics, composition, complex sources, and tackling social media.

Stop by if you can. It’s free.

I’ll say hello and shake your hand. Unless you prefer I don’t. Which is fine.

@neil Ugh, expect software quality to go down hill.

Ok, das habe ich mal anderes gelernt. Für mich steht der Begriff Zwischentöne in erster Linie für sowas wie "subtext" um es mal Englisch zu sagen.

@arstechnica @gwaldby And then there’s their apparent inability to obey laws …

Kinda dedicated my life unwittingly to the studying the "bootstrapping" process of computing.

That special moment in computing where one focuses on the building blocks and fundamental moving parts of some system.

I see it in FORTH, and I see it occurring quite naturally in the retrocomputing and permacomputing movements/scenes.

Perhaps this is the gift of this focus--to be able to magick up something from a series of logic gates...?

So my org uses BILL/Bill+Spend (aka Divvy) for our company credit cards.

Because of ease of use +setup, more nonprofits have been coming onto the BILL platform.

I just learned that BILL is quietly rolling out Persona (a Palantir company) within BILL/Bill+Spend to force users to use biometric and ID verification to update or change user info. Account admins can't revert back to MFA and users are being locked out of their access.

There was zero notification to acct admins and I only know this because I'm on a listserv with other nonprofit finance teams.

This paired with that nonprofit Exec Memo from September 2025 makes me wave all the red flags in the world for the nonprofit sector.

Petite mise à jour : j'ai ajouté une variable qui fait que si ntsync n'est pas dispo dans votre système (pas activé ou noyau < 6.14), Wine/GEProton utiliseront fsync à la place (ce qui permet d'améliorer les perfs pour les systèmes sans ntsync).

I am trying my best not to be too pessimistic about the state of academia, but then there are mornings like today when I see that the Deutscher Hochschulverband [the German association of university professors] is offering a further training course entitled "Der Weg zum Forschungsantrag mit Multi-Agenten: Forschung mit KI neu denken" [Roadmap to a multi-agent research proposal: Rethinking research with AI]. This four-hour practical workshop demonstrates how to make use of multiple "AI agents" to review the literature, develop research questions and hypotheses, and write grant proposals. At a mere 250 € for members, the course is (of course) already sold out: https://www.dhvseminare.de/forschungsantrag_mit_multi-agenten_online-workshop. If, two years ago, someone had told me that it would be academics themselves that would make universities redundant, I wouldn't have believed them. Now I'm not so sure...

new preprint on the spread of hallucinated citations in the scientific literature:

- origin primarily from small and early-career author teams

- hallucinated references disproportionately assign credit to already prominent and male scholars

- 𝟴𝟱.𝟯% of hallucinations in preprints persist into the published version

- hallucinations appear across the range of journals, including high impact ones

- fake citations are becoming listed in search engines like Google scholar

This waiting room music at the psychologist is, uh, interesting. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good playlist, just not sure Runaway Train is appropriate…
