US citizens, this is how the Australian voting system works. It's not perfect but works better than a completely two-party system.

Trofim Lysenko died before I was born, but I get unreasonably angry whenever he comes up.

He was responsible for the deaths of millions.

Whee. Billions to be made off stupidity.

@BartV That is not a terrified cat. What are you judging on? The ears? This is normal if there's noise coming from behind him. A terrified cat would not sit still like that.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron yes: ears, eyes, thehunched posture. It all reads as scared to me, which makes sense if you dress it up - cats tend to hate that. I hope I’m mistaken!




How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at Bylines Network.

BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children”

We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of “send them out!”



Bad #journalists? Suspected: #AI replaced #editor.
Short #news about a rare bird find. But let's hallucinate with some 'ea', the sound of bird, and the author's name, hey, it must be a beaver! Photo without source: the blurry effects seem to come from a video still, the "download" was not erased, no source (probably the trail cam). No sense because no link to a beaver article.
In my times, no matter how drunk the final editor might have been at night, that never happened.

#FensterFreitag from Fort de Chartres, So. Illinois, last fall.

I've been trying to do a new-to-me horror film marathon, and a few of the films reminded me of some of my shots from this place...I'd like to go back and take some more sometime.

Me again: oh, this sounds cool and clever.

But wait, *scrolls down*

Ah dammit.

Me additionally: I wonder if they're being ethical about it, training it just on their own data or something.

Uh...oh 🙃

They're fully aware.

Steam for ChromeOS Chromebooks is being killed off gamingonlinux.com/2025/08/stea…

#Steam #ChromeOS #Chromebooks #Gaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Even if you break one open and install an actual Linux distro, Chromebooks are still next to useless for gaming. Was there really a significant user base using Steam on Chromebooks beyond experimentation?


Discussions about digital sovereignty are 🔥

Which countries lead the way?

@nextcloud created an Index ranking countries based on the relative presence of self-hosted tools across key application areas.

1. Finland 🇫🇮
2. Germany 🇩🇪
3. The Netherlands 🇳🇱

dsi.nextcloud.com/index.php

in reply to Claes de Vreese ☑️

hmm, i skimmed through the limitations and couldn't see any comment on the topic of if the services hosted in a country are aimed at the people living in that country or for people in other countries.

i mean, there are some very popular data centers in finland, for example, but many of the clients are from other european countries. so the score for finland gets artificially inflated.

in reply to Turpakosketus etsii soittajia

@Stoori

Thanks for your interest in the research!

We tried to point out that location ≠ ownership: A server’s IP may be in one country, while its users or data reside elsewhere. If a country outsources hosting, its index score may fall, while a country that hosts data from other countries sees its index rise – regardless of control or access.

Donde antes había tribunales especiales, hoy hay inteligencia artificial. Donde había leyes de excepción, hay software de predicción. El resultado preocupa: ¿es posible que se castiga más por el quién que por el qué? ¿Por el perfil, no por la acción?
