#52wochenfotochallenge mit dem Thema #Haustier

Wer meine Timeline verfolgt, erinnert sich vielleicht an das Amselweibchen, das im Sommer gerne mal ins Wohnzimmer spaziert um den akuten Rosinennotstand zu verkünden. Diese Amseldame herrscht jetzt draußen über ihr Rosinenterrassenreich und vertreibt nach Möglichkeit alle Artgenossen. Dazu thront sie würdevoll auf unserem Dekoschlitten 👑😊 Also quasi ein am-Haus-Tier..

Když propadám zoufalství, vzpomínám si, že v celé historii vždy zvítězila cesta pravdy a lásky. Byli tu tyrani a vrazi a na čas se mohli zdát neporazitelní, ale nakonec vždy padli. Přemýšlejte o tom – vždy.
– Mahátma Gándhí

Ich halte den #ÖRR grundsätzlich für eine sehr große Errungenschaft 👍

Um so mehr empört es mich, dass unter JEDEM Beitrag auf tagesschau.de UNBEZAHLTE (!) WERBUNG (!) für Apps des Meta-Konzerns platziert wird, die schon für unzählige Skandale verantwortlich waren und offenkundig eine Gefahr für die Freiheitlich demokratischen Grundordnung darstellen. Das ist das Gegenteil von digitaler Souveränität!

Müssen wir uns das als Gebührenzahler:innen eigentlich gefallen lassen? Ich sage: Nein! Wenn sich genügend Menschen finden, die das kritisieren, wird @tagesschau handeln.

Erster Schritt: Gib diesem Post hier einen ⭐ (und gerne auch einen ). Viele Sterne stärken das Argument.

Weitere Schritte erfolgen dann durch die #DiDaySupportCommunity.

Lieber Spiegel, Ihr habt es wahrscheinlich nicht so gemeint, aber: Wenn eine Regierungschefin auf Annexionsdrohungen einer Supermacht reagiert, "empört" sie sich nicht. Sie weist zurück, sie widerspricht, sie stellt klar. Das eine klingt nach Kontrollverlust, das andere nach Staatsräson.

The Crapture

Remember, ‘agentic’ means ‘designed to remove agency from the user’.

always remember:

the #devil has far too many #advocates already.

AIがほんとうに人間より知能が高くなって、人間がソフトウェア生産労働から解放されるっていうのなら話は別だけど、どう見てもそんなものではない。というか、結局生産されたコードが現実に適合するかという評価をAIができない(やる手段あるの？)のは、記号接地問題そのまんまだから、人間の認知機能を代替できない。

Is it too much to ask for there to be a reverse Rapture, where portals to Hell open all over the world and all the most evil people are dragged down into the flames by cackling bat-eared demons?

Holy S* … 👀

🚨New horrifying footage from Gaza: Israeli demolition units continue to level schools, homes, and what remains of the Strip’s infrastructure , all under a “ceasefire” that exists in name only.

After many years, I've just started testing #MooseFS again.
I used it in the past and it was great. It supports #FreeBSD and the performance was quite decent.

I can definitely see some use cases for it as MooseFS is fully POSIX-compliant

Art is under attack, with more than one artisitc medium nearly gone from mainstream life. AI makes that worse.

Open source as a political movement has almost entirely been subverted and subsumbed. AI makes that worse.

The climate emergency is fucking bad. AI makes it worse.

Fascist disinformation is bad. AI makes it worse.
