from what I could find, Bluesky, Steam Groups' announcements and here all have RSS feeds too.




In ihrer Sonderausgabe „Die besten Einfälle des 21. Jahrhunderts“ beschreibt die #zeit auch #mastodon .
Das ist dann die Rubrik „Die besten digitalen Begleiter […]“.

Zitat:
„[…] bis heute versprüht Mastodon den spröden Charme der Informatik-AG eines kleinstädtischen Gymnasiums. Und trotzdem ist das Netzwerk eine Hoffnungsmaschine für alle, die an ein anderes, besseres Internet glauben […]“

Kann man so stehenlassen, denke ich. Mich freut die Erwähnung.

@Gargron zur Info.

Wäre es nicht viel schlimmer, nicht erwähnt zu werden?

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.

Ich glaube, es ist ein positives Zeichen hier erwähnt zu werden.
Technisch kann das die Zeit ja eh nicht bewerten.

in reply to David

Ist eine Erwähnung es wert, wenn man nicht ernst genommen wird? Wie viel Zeit, Fachwissen und Arbeit auf das Niveau eines kleinstädtisches Gymnasiums hinuntergebracht werden. Nicht mal ein großstädtisches Gymnasium!


No idea why, but Bing search for GOL took a solid nosedive, means we don't show up in Bing News or DuckDuckGo or any other that use Bing <_<

I went back 16 months in Bing stats, never seen a drop like it.

Google on the other hand has been absolutely fine. Frustrating.

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.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

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.


Here's another one. Croatia.

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.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

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 .

(hypothetical bricks of harmless internet words, of course, a thought experiment).

BuurToren

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

Natural Fibers Pros and Cons



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.

Últimamente encontramos que muchas organizaciones trabajando en la defensa de los #derechosdigitales, la libertad de expresión y la autonomía tecnológica utilizamos las plataformas de redes sociales privativas y comerciales como una de las principales herramientas para nuestro activismo y acciones de comunicación, mientras que las redes sociales libres, descentralizadas y federadas son poco o nada utilizadas.
Esta es una realidad que nos genera múltiples interrogantes:

Have you seen the comparatively low ranking of Britain in this list? Well, their universities were much more popular 5 years ago, but Brexit and a surge in right-wing isolationism in post-Brexit Britain made a considerable dent.

Well, Trump 2.0 is actually one Brexit per day combined with a Stalinist personality cult - hence, it's even more disastrous than the already quite straining Brexit.

Your picture reminds me of pictures we took during our holidays in Yugoslavia in the 1970s. Not just the colours and the appearance of the image itself but also the scenery - It reminds me of the coast near the Istrian penninsula.

Most of those family pictures were taken on a Praktica SLR.

Maybe I should dig out my old B100 and start using it again.
