@calamarim alquanto deludente questo post, al contrario della stragrande maggioranza di quelli che pubblichi di solito. Non ne ne avere, ma lo trovo un po' senza capo né coda :(

@davidgerard Imagine saying something like this then whining about people disliking AI and the people pushing it. It's funny how quick AI fans go from victimhood to threats, isn't it? Almost as if it's a fascist project built on the destruction of consent.

Good thing, we took care of all the important world problems before spending time and resources on stupid irrelevant shit.. Ohh wait..

J'ai totalement poubellisé MagicEarth. Ils ont totalement ruiné l'application, je pense qu'il n'y a plus rien de rattrapable.
Je suis passé à CoMaps, et j'en suis très content. Tant pis pour l'info-trafic (même s'il me semble que CoMaps est en train d'y réfléchir).

📚 #Bookwyrm (the Fediverse Goodreads alternative) is a nice idea.
But the directories it pulls from when you try to add a book are really inadequate. I’d assume there are decent open directories out there? Hoping this gets an upgrade in the future 🤞 ​

For anyone who has seen the cover of the #CHERIoT book:

This is the counterexample, when you do compartmentalisation wrong.

@decryption ITOEN makes great drinks, but I don’t remember them being that full of sugar in Japan.

(Sorry, had to pause in the midst of this thread).

The Elias Group did something clever and amusing. They filed both clean and a redlined copies of their proposed amended complaint. The Roberts Six ignored the fact that USPS had issued a final ruling on Friday — before the Six said Monday that that USPS had not acted definitively! The redlined version indicates how disingenuous the Six were. All that had to be added to the introduction is one short paragraph. 4/

Saying you "care about future generations" is the same bullshit Elon #Musk does.

Fight your own battles in the present. Get better at it.

Ma che ingiustizia! Alle barricate! 😁 😁 😁 😁

Dafür das KI die Zukunft ist und Ablehnung von KI mit genereller Tech-Skepsis verglichen wird, so wie sie immer existierte („der Fernseher macht dich dumm”, oder Platons Kritik am Schreiben auf Papier), ist es komischerweise die jüngere Generation die künstliche Intelligenz ablehnt und die ältere Generation die auf dessen Zukunftsfähigkeit schwört.

@CCC Ich möchte nochmal gerade die jüngeren hier daran erinnern, was die super harmlose "Volkszählung" damals 1987 für einen Aufschrei in der Bevölkerung und in den Medien gegeben hat.
Dagegen passiert hier heutzutage nichts bei deutlich schlimmeren Tatsachen. Hätte man das damals gemacht, hätte es eine Revolution gegeben.
Fazit: die Bevölkerung ist deutlich dumpfbackiger geworden.
