They're not LLMs. They're trained on open data.
Should translation be disabled if the AI 'kill switch' is active?

We went to check on Odin while the mold exterminators work. He is so incredibly relieved we still exist after not seeing us for almost 24 hours. He’ll spend another night with my in-laws before he’s cleared to come back after the cleaning. #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

This piece explores why accessibility and design fail when we measure scores instead of real use and what works better.
Longer read, but hopefully helpful:

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

積ん読ホルダー、あっ、いいな、って私も反射的に思ったんですけど、同時に「いや、でもなにか騙されている気がする」となぜか思ってしまいましたわ
私は結局その薄い板を挟んでも抜けなくなりそうなくらいぎっしり本を詰めてしまうし、読み終わったからと言ってそこにある本を本棚にしまったりもできないでしょう。そして溢れた本をそのホルダーの外側にも積んでしまうでしょう。その時それはきっと、ただ本の間に挟まって本を固定しているだけの謎の板になりませんか？(この間2秒)

本来Instagramにおけるフォローとは，特定の人物の視点や思想を，時間の流れとともに受け取る行為であった。時系列表示は表現の文脈を保持し，「誰が，どのような連続性の中で語ったか」を可視化していた。しかしMosseriの主導でアルゴリズミックタイムラインが導入され，表現者の人格や思想よりも，エンゲージメントを生む定型的な表現形式が優先されるようになった。その結果，「本物らしさ」は希少なものではなくなり，インスタ映えする視覚語彙の固定化が進み，そうした成功フォーマットは模倣・量産可能な演出へと変質した。これは自然発生的な文化変化というより，プラットフォーム設計によって加速された現象であるにもかかわらず彼はそれを「世界の変化」として語ることで，設計判断の責任を外部化している。Mosseriの言う "authenticity is reproducible" という洞察そのものが，アルゴリズム最適化されたもっともらしい自己批評として再生産されているように見える。

My ZTE USB -> LTE randomly died recently after about 5 years of being pretty reliable. Anyone have a link to one currently available that works with pfSense (and hopefully pretty cheap)?
Welcome to #TextModeTuesday! For the next few weeks I'll be posting some projects & experiments related to this just spontaneously made up hashtag. If you've got something related to interesting text-based art/experiments, patterns, ASCII-art, ANSI-art etc. please share — the more, the merrier...
To start with, here's an experiment from a few years ago to demonstrate some capabilities of https://thi.ng/text-canvas and https://thi.ng/shader-ast to create a raymarching renderer outputting images in text mode (with customizable character sets to represent luminance).
Demo:
https://demo.thi.ng/umbrella/ascii-raymarch/
Commented source code:
https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/blob/develop/examples/ascii-raymarch/
Hotkeys:
- c = toggle color on/off
- t = toggle theme switch
- space = toggle update
WebGL version of the same scene (using an almost identical TypeScript shader source, only here transpiled to GLSL and using slightly different colors):

Open Rights Group has called on MPs to implement a digital sovereignty strategy to reduce the UK’s reliance on US tech companies, such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Palantir, for its digital infrastructure. The digital rights campaigners have urged parliamentarians to make the strategy a requirement in the Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill. https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/cybersecurity-bill-org-calls-on-mps-to-reduce-uk-reliance-on-us-tech-companies/
