If you don't actually know how #genAI and #agenticAI works, then you shouldn't let it anywhere near your data (or anyone else's).

If you do actually know how they work, then you *know* not to let it anywhere your data (or anyone else's).

Europe defends digital rights, fairness and autonomy.

Open a laptop. Turn on a phone.

You are in a digital room that answers to laws written elsewhere. In every office across the continent, the EU has no direct reach over the operating systems that we use in our daily life.

What would it mean for the bloc to reclaim digital sovereignty?
Could Europe build a shared system instead of living inside imported ones?

I moved a working home TrueNAS installation (using a ZFS mirror of 2 usb3 drives!) to a new server and it was incredibly easy and painless. I did not expect that :).

Good job, TrueNAS!

We have implemented #TimeSeries #SeasonalDecomposition using STL and MSTL.

@labplot@lemmy.kde.social
@opensource

➡️ #STL breaks down data into trend, single #seasonality, and noise.

➡️ #MSTL extends this to extract multiple seasonal patterns iteratively. These methods improve analysis and #forecasting for complex seasonal data.

TL;DR: Meta's new EU Data Protection Commissioner, an ex-Meta lobbyist, is bound by a non-disparagement agreement, raising concerns over regulatory capture and the enforcement of EU privacy laws. This situation exemplifies broader issues in which Big Tech influences regulators, particularly in jurisdictions like Ireland, a noted tax haven. https://pluralistic.net/2025/12/01/erin-go-blagged/ #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

Congress is moving toward a nationwide age-verification mandate, but instead of verifying age on every website or app, lawmakers want to make app stores do it.

Wow, looked up Miami and couldn't stop scrolling to see all of the surveillance tools that are used here. :(

This is a fantastic resource!

Hi everyone 👋 I struggle with RSI (Ripetitive Strain Injury) on my wrist, so I built Navifut, a foot-controlled mouse for work, gaming & productivity. Also called a foot "Rat", since bigger than regular mouse!
Allows you to click and drag the cursor with your foot, with or without shoes.

Launched on Kickstarter, any boost or support means the world 💚

Just read @pluralistic 's article on the Eurostack, and de-Americanization.

Here's a brief piece on the topic I wrote 12 years ago, that has aged well.

IMPORTANT: are we really going to let this campaign fail at 90 percent of its goal? @bonfire needs our support. Rather than buying useless stuff for these holidays, I'd better suggest to give something to these folks working for community's good. We can't let it go at 27.12 euro let's do 30.000!!! #fediverse #community #tech #mutualaid #crowdfunding #help #FollowerPower
