"Wir sind niemals unabhängig. Aber das heißt nicht, dass wir bestimmte Abhängigkeiten akzeptieren sollten. Ein gutes Leben ist ein Leben in guten sozialen Verbindungen. Guten Abhängigkeiten halt." (zum DI.day)

Digitaler-Einbettungs-Tag
Diverse deutsche NGOs und Unternehmen haben im Dezember den “Digital Independence Day” ausgerufen. Am DI.Day, wie es gerne abgekürzt wird, sollen Menschen nicht nur motiviert werden, die digitalen Aspekte ihrer Existenz von vor allem US-basierten Plattformen und Anbietern hin zu anderen Plattformen (z.B. in der EU) zu verschieben sondern es werden auch konkrete Hinweise und […]

Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.
The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉
We did it, Joe! 
@fontawesome is now officially on Mastodon 🏆
I want to address something that happened here recently. I wasn't involved, though I did know the people who were. The bristly situation was not an isolated occurrence on this platform.
My main takeaway from that kerfuffle is that no one here owes anyone else a conversation. "But why can't we have a discussion; isn't that the point of this place?" has real "Debate me, Bro" vibes. It's not a discussion without mutual agreement.
This has nothing to do with the point(s) being made. If, at any time, you have been asked to leave by the person who started the thread, you have to leave the thread. You don't have the right to keep engaging after someone tells you to stop. Full stop. If you feel like you were possibly misunderstood, and want to clarify, you'll have to do that in a separate post of your own: "I was part of a discussion today, and here's the point I was trying to make . . ." That's fine, because it's your space, not someone else's. It's a bit like being in your own home instead of at someone else's front door.
The rules of discourse apply in this online space just like they do in any physical space. If someone doesn't want to argue with you, they don't have to, most especially in their own home.
Max & Molly relaxing on the balcony
Max, the black cat, just about tolerates Molly. But he's never affectionate with her, likes personal space, gets annoyed if she comes too close
Molly, on the other hand, adores Max. She thinks the sun shines out of his butt. Which is why she's always looking for it up there
This picture shows a rare occasion when he let her sit next to him. You can see in her eyes she knows it won't be long before he gets up and leaves in a huff
#NoICE #AbolishICE Open AI，也就是ChatGPT背后的公司，帮助ICE搭建了筛选工具，同时，Open AI的president给川普捐了两千五百万，这也使得Open AI成为给川普第二个任期几乎捐钱最多的科技公司(高层)。其他科技公司寡头也通过捐钱表达忠心，但数字都是一百万美金（没有说这样就好的意思）。
比起引起大家关注的、引发抗议的ICE暴行，更多迫使人们生活支离破碎的ICE暴行是通过各种监控协助，悄无声息发生的。
有一百个理由不用Generative AI生成文字，但如果一定要用，如果你也反对川普和ICE，请至少考虑换到其他Gen AI.
以及，Open AI也是帮助了以色列搭建了筛选和轰炸平民的系统。

I'm just so tired of the expectation that developers need AI to help code, both by people in the industry and outside of it. The worst part of it is that while I think the rest of the AI bubble will burst and mostly go away, I don't know if that will happen with programming or not.

Sorry for taking Signal down. I plugged it back in when I was done vacuuming the server room. 😅

テキサスの大学で哲学を教える教授が、デモで「今年から哲学でプラトンについて教えてはならないと言われた。理由はプラトンが饗宴の中で性は男女だけでなく少なくとも3つある、同性同士の関係は異常ではないと言ってるからだ。哲学史で最も偉大な人物について教えてはならないとは何事だ」とスピーチする動画を見た。
アカデミアの頭脳流出は今政権で目立つようになったかもしれないけど、STEMを推進する一方、そもそも米国で哲学は軽視され続けてきたし、学問することの意味というか、批判的思考そのものを特に赤い州ではずーっと教育されてこなかったことの結果が今じゃないかという気もする。

This 30/01 we're leaving Spotify, join the #boicotspotify #BoycottSpotify
Why? 1. Spotify owner investing in the military and the biz of genocide, 2. Spotify hardly pays anything to the artists (only to the famous ones), 3. Spotify uses AI generated music to avoid paying artists
On Sunday we join La Instrumental, to imagine musical futures that are more free and collective. For musical production and use that is + ethical, responsible, solidary https://www.lainstrumental.org/
So there’s a new Guardian interview with Jimmy Wales out (to promote his new book, with an affiliate link for the Guardian in it) titled “‘People thought I was a communist doing this as a non-profit’: is Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales the last decent tech baron?”* that’s making the rounds here.
For those who only read the headlines, here’s a TL;DR: No. There is no such thing as decent tech baron, that’s an oxymoron.
From the article itself:
“‘I’m actually quite in favour of business and capitalism and all that.’ (He’s currently president of Fandom, an ad-funded entertainment site that hosts user-edited pages, owned by private equity firm TPG Capital).”
And:
“Does he still regard Musk, the world’s richest man, as a friend? ‘Friends is probably a little strong. I mean, not, not that –‘ he sputters, editing himself in real time. ‘I want to be careful how I say that, only because I’ve met him maybe five or six times, so that I would be overstating to say friends. We’ve been friendly, and even now he’s much nicer to me in private than you might think. I mean, he’s got a big public persona, and that’s a little bit different from the private Elon, who I think is more thoughtful.’”
Also, some more background:

From what I gather, most of the big wikis on Fandom are trying to leave because it's so filled with ads. Apparently the process is difficult, and compounded by the fact that Fandom refuses to delete content after a wiki has moved somewhere else. Which means they keep the higher SEO rating to keep driving clicks to ad-riddled pages that are out of date or full of vandalised garbage.
