El impacto ecosocial de una imagen generada por #IA estilo Ghibli.
Por @tunubesecamirio
utilizar una imagen “ghiblificada” tiene unos impactos ecosociales en todo el planeta y solo contribuye a concentrar el poder en las manos de las #BigTech de EEUU. Y esta acumulación de poder en manos de unos pocos tecnobros, que apoyan claramente la necropolítica de Trump.

160 years ago today, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union forces in Richmond Virginia.
There are a lot of reasons the Confederates lost. Among them, its leaders didn't know how to run a functional economy.
Crippled by hyperinflation, trade deficits, & inability to industrialize, the Confederacy tore itself to shreds in just four years.
I would like to pull some content from Ukraine to my Friendica instance and found the following relay that has all hte relevent Ukrainien Mastodon instances:

However, `console relay add relay.social.net.ua/actor` gives me a `couldn't be added`. The reason might be that this is not a yukicmochi relay but based on some other code. Would you be so kind to have a look whether this can be fixed on my end or on theirs and how?
