NASA Observes Day of Remembrance Ahead of Columbia 20th Anniversary
The agency will honor members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, including the crews of Apollo 1 and space shuttles Challenger and Columbia, leading up to, and during, the agency's annual …Roxana Bardan (NASA)
CNET and no doubt others to follow turning into AI content farming sites.

Just one in the list of reasons why I get bumped lower repeatedly in search engines, on top of content scrapers and others just ripping me off. It’s a growing problem, the AI side is especially concerning and one day sites like mine simply won’t exist I fear.
Inside CNET’s AI-powered SEO money machine
CNET’s AI-generated stories shocked readers when they were brought to light last week. But Red Ventures, the private equity-backed marketing-turned-media-company, has a plan for the automated content.Mia Sato (The Verge)
When Twitter started burning a bunch of folks were tossing links to their newsletters and my first thought was "It feels like giving myself homework to sign up for an inbox clogging amount of newsletters. What if I just want to casually interact with you in a shared space, not get a broadcast-only concentrated form of you once a month or whatever."
It’s been a good year for right to repair advocates. Colorado passed an important law to allow wheelchair users access to resources they need to fix their own chairs. The Federal Trade Commission has stepped up enforcement of companies that limit the right to repair. And New York made history by passing the first broad consumer right to repair legislation at the end of 2022, requiring some digital electronics manufacturers to provide access to parts, tools, and information necessary for repairing their products.

The first pic is from my iPad which are the number of notifications that appeared overnight. The second pic from my iPhone are the notifications that have appeared since Thursday morning just before all the stuff went down.
Don't worry, I'm going to open the app on my iPhone soon so it resets the count and I stop obsessing about this. lol

Never done a proper #introduction since opening my #Mastodon account in early October so here we go
I'm an ecologist based in Berlin and I currently work on #lightpollution & its effects on #insects. I have also worked on a range of other topics in #ecology like #foodwebs & #invasivespecies
I'm also an editorial board member at the journal Oikos & a working group speaker for science communication at the Leibniz Postdoc Network
Looking forward to expand my #Mastodon community in 2023
“The #fediverse is like #email.”
Yes.
Now read this and understand it:
“I have been self-hosting my email since I got my first broadband connection at home in 1999 … But my emails are just not delivered anymore. I might as well not have an email server.
Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality … I lost. We lost. One cannot reliably deploy independent email servers.“
cfenollosa.com/blog/after-self…
Via @cancel
After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel. The oligopoly has won.
Many companies have been trying to disrupt email by making it proprietary. So far, they have failed. Email keeps being an open protocol. Hurray? No hurray. Email is not distributed anymore. You just cannot create another first-class node of this necfenollosa.com
