The problems with Big Tech AI data collection: privacy concerns and how to protect your data - Nextcloud
AI privacy concerns are growing as Big Tech keeps collecting data. Learn the risks and how privacy-first AI solutions help protect your data.Katrin Goethals (Nextcloud)
Hi there!
Is your question about AI tools in Nextcloud? If yes: we are not an AI provider, and everything depends on the model or service you are using with Assistant.
On our end, we let people choose, and rank supported models exactly by those parameters: training data availability, open source code, ability to host locally. And you can avoid setting up AI at all, if you don't want it in your platform.

Opera GX is now available for Linux
The "gaming browser" Opera GX is now available for Linux, although I'm still not sure why you would want to actually use it.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
yeah, Opera isn't exactly what a privacy-conscious person would use, but Linux is freedom and freedom mean options.
And also, privacy is a spectrum, if Opera GX being available on Linux means more people will jump ship, then that's a big win.

Counter-Strike 2 gets a major update with reload changes, custom game modes
Possibly one of the most controversial updates for the Counter-Strike series as a whole, the latest Counter-Strike 2 update brings major changes from Valve.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Nice to see CS2 still getting big updates, especially with reload changes and custom modes. It really shows how the game keeps evolving over time.
I’ve noticed that updates can also affect how skins look, especially with lighting and animations. I once tried to скачать bloodycase.com/blog/best-purpl… just to see which purple skins stand out the most, and it gave a better idea of current trends.

And so the information diaspora continues.
Outpost Moved its Servers to the E.U.
A few weeks ago, Outpost migrated its servers, including our databases, to Amsterdam, away from servers in the U.S. So now all member publishers' data, servers and CTA infrastructure are hosted there...
We made the move because well, ((WAVES HANDS WILDLY AROUND)), it seems like a prudent step. Prudent being the word of the day here.
Just to be clear, Outpost has never had a data request, subpoena or National Security Letter dropped on us for our data or any member publisher's data.
But we still thought this was a prudent step given the current political environment...

Our possums are a problem. Could Selena Gomez be the solution?
Last year, American pop star, actor and beauty mogul Selena Gomez launched a surprising new expansion of her empire: Oreos. The chocolate and cinnamon limited-edition creme cookies, described as “flavour-forward and horchata-inspired”, popped up in hypnotic displays in supermarkets across the country in July, complete with a giant rotating cookie that simply read “Oreo Selena Gomez”. The promotional material claimed the cookies were “great for movie night, and make wonderful birthday treats and music awards watch party snacks”.
What neither Selena Gomez nor Big Oreo could ever have anticipated is that these cookies, which feature music-themed designs including “Selena in the Studio” and “Play Your Heart Out”, would become a crucial weapon in the war against one of Aotearoa’s most infamous pests.
Our possums are a problem. Could Selena Gomez be the solution?

Just read. This is great, @LaurensHof!
In my forthcoming protocol book, I explicitly define protocols as *not meaning*, which is consistent with the pattern you identify. Meaning begins where protocols end.
This also extends the notion of power vacuums that I develop a bit in ch. 1 of Governable Spaces. And I think in ch. 4 I make clear that the fediverse does not address these but replicates implicit feudalism (which is not quite a vacuum but a specific theory of governance embedded in software like Mastodon).
Thank you for further making the case for why we need real governance design for a truly decentralized social.
Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-…

Check out those whiskers! This little harbour seal was picked up by my team in October. Found on a beach with a life threatening condition (mouth rot), he was uplifted and taken to a sanctuary for rehabilitation.
He has a special place in my heart as this was my first rescue. 10/10 perfect gentleman, didn't fight/bite me!
He was recently released into the wild, and is out there somewhere living his best life 🦭
