Okay, Update ist durch. Habe die "Entkoppelung" wieder aktiviert und das System einige Zeit beobachtet.
Die Fehlermeldungen bzgl. der Exception sind weg. Allerdings ist das System damit immer noch kaum nutzbar, da die gleichen Probleme immer noch existieren.

Sobald so eine Worker-Spitze auftritt, lädt die Oberfläche deutlich langsamer. Aber auch das Abschicken von Beiträgen oder Kommentaren sowie "Liken" in der Oberfläche dauert ewig.

‘I dropped Facebook, Gmail and WhatsApp, among others, in favour of Mastodon, Proton and Matrix. I still spend lots of time on the black mirror in my pocket. The difference now is that what I’m looking at feels honest, relevant, funny and informative. I built this feed myself. There are no sneaky codes with ads and algorithm-driven provocations. I can move or shut it down any time I want. This is the kind of internet I want my children to have.'

Experts have tested over 140,000 food samples across Europe to check for pesticide residues.

🔹Over 98% of tested foods met legal standards
🔹Most had no trace of pesticides at all
🔹The overall risk to our health is very low

Fruits, vegetables, and other everyday foods on our shelves are regularly checked. They continue to be safe to eat, share, and enjoy.

📊 The European Food Safety Authority have created an online tool so you can explore the results for yourself ➡️ europa.eu/!wx6Bfd

Illustration of a basket filled with various fruits and vegetables, including grapes, oranges, tomatoes, carrots, and leafy greens, placed above a painted European Union flag. The text reads: 'Grown with care, Safe to share.' A small EU emblem appears in the bottom right corner.

Pesticides residues in food: what’s the situation in the EU?

The risk from pesticide residues to human health remains low, in line with previous years, EFSA said in its latest annual report. EFSA analysed thousands of samples collected in 2023 from commonly consumed products.

Highly Selective Health Nuts MANY ON THE RIGHT ARE INTO "HEALTHY LIFESTYLES" - WITH SOME CONTRADICTIONS. Woman chopping vegetables: I ONLY EAT ORGANIC. AND I HATE ENVIRONMENTALISTS. Dude: I DON'T TRUST MAINSTREAM MEDICINE OR BIG PHARMA BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL ABOUT PROFITS. Surrounded by products: NAD ZAPPER 9000 ALPHA BOAR PLUS UNLIKE THESE PRODUCTS, WHICH EXIST SOLELY FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY. Weightlifting dude: I LIFT TO MAKE MY BODY STRONG SO I CAN DEFEND MYSELF. I ALSO OPPOSE MASKS, SEAT BELTS, HELMETS, GUN CONTROL, SPEED LIMITS, HEALTHCARE REFORM, AND SCHOOL NUTRITION PROGRAMS FOR KIDS. Woman with smokestacks in background: IT'S ALL ABOUT INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY! I DON'T WORRY ABOUT POLLUTION SINCE I’M DOING A KOLA NUT CLEANSE.

Es ist ja eine positive Rubrik. Und natürlich muss ein Journalist sich bzw. seinen Artikel irgendwie „interessant“ machen. Ob Provokation das richtige Mittel ist, sei dahingestellt.

I figured out earlier, the day it started was the day our webhost had an emergency issue and we were down for about an hour.

Probably related, but wow, Bing seriously destroys showing sites if they go down at all it seems. I assume this is still an error, because that's silly otherwise to penalise for so long after such a small issue.

might have just been down during the time bing tried to index. Might be able to request re-indexing through their search console. I had to do this with Google after I accidentally had some pages require auth when they shouldn't. Still took over a week after requesting for Google to finally index them again.

If your industry (AI) can only exist by ripping the work of others without credit, then it shouldn't exist.

The big companies are just steamrolling over the rights of everyone because they're getting away with it. Governments have been cowardly to act on this.

so copyright law will disrupt the AI industry? Move fast and break things? Cut the green tape? Empower creators?

Funny how actual work never gets described that way, but when the 1% are grifting us, dying industries are suddenly an inevitable consequence of their genius. Nick Clegg needs bricks thrown at everything he owns, starting with his head, fuck these parasites and their mouthpieces .

NEW SQUAT IN TOWN

BuurToren is a Rotterdam-based collective that stands for a city built on solidarity: a city where everyone has a place to live. We make use of vacant buildings to provide shelter for people without a home and give these properties a social, community-/ neighbourhood-focused purpose.

Together, we fight for more connection instead of seperation. Will you help bridge the gap between Rotterdammers with a home and those who are homeless or unhoused?

and we could use your help!

Come by our building day this sunday (25/05) from 11.00 and/or join the open assembly at 18.00

New research reveals Australian authors say no to AI using their work – even if money is on the table


For many authors, their work is more than just intellectual property. It represents their voice, their identity and years of creative labour, often undertaken with little financial return.

The idea that a machine could replicate that work without consent, credit or payment is not only unsettling; for many, it feels like a fundamental violation of creative ownership.

This is not simply a case of authors being hesitant to engage with emerging technologies. Our findings suggest a more informed and considered stance. Most respondents had a moderate or strong understanding of how generative AI models are trained. They also made clear distinctions between tools that support creativity and those designed to replace it entirely.

New research reveals Australian authors say no to AI using their work – even if money is on the table

Writers’ concerns about AI are not only about payment; they are about consent, trust and the future of their profession.

the same picture as Eugen linked in his post but colorgraded a bit differently. the sky is more of a cyanish blue now, Amelia's hair looks a dark brown instead of pure black. contrast is generally lower, and it also has a warmer color overall.

Nusretiye Mosque.
Thomas Allom, from "Constantinople: and the Scenery of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor," London, Paris: [1839?] #illustration #art oldbookillustrations.com/illus…
View of the Nusretiye Mosque, with the Bosphorus in the foreground and a man boarding a ship from a rowboat. The author describes the mosque as follows: "This beautiful but small imperial mosque of the reigning sultan, is situated not on a conspicuous eminence like those of his predecessors, but in the low alluvial ground on the shores of the Bosphorus, and on the water’s edge; but the beauty and finish of the edifice compensate for the defects of its site. All the skill of Oriental ornament is expended upon it. Rich lattice-work and taper spires of minarets highly gilded, glitter in the sun with a brilliancy and recency, as if they had been left just finished by the hands of the artisans."
