There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance. These contents are narrated aloud, likely by an AI, in several languages, and are based on articles that appear online. Today this happened with an article I shared from my blog.

The problem is that there is no attribution to the original author and or the original source site. On the contrary, it gives the impression that the content was produced directly by whoever runs that site or instance.

This is completely detached from the idea of properly sharing information. Taking inspiration is a wonderful thing. Claiming someone else’s work as your own is not.

I contacted the account in question this morning. I have not received any reply, even though other content has been published in the meantime. A short while ago I also contacted the instance administrator.

I will wait until tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will publicly disclose the instance and the related content and block the entire domain. There are additional details that I prefer not to reveal at this time which further worsen the situation.

This is not how we act in the Fediverse.

In the Fediverse we respect one another.
Let us avoid bringing improper practices here. You are free to use my posts as you wish. You can even make money by applying my advice.
Just do not take away my attribution.

Yesterday was quite the day! My replacement battery arrived. Opened the , swapped the battery, powered it on. It booted up but failed to recognize my SSD and thus I couldn't boot into the OS. Strange.

showed there wasn't a battery connected. Also strange. As per Dell's documentation, I needed to completely clear the power. Did that.

Still no disk recognized. BIOS still showed I can only boot from the NIC. Great. I found the BIOS version was severely out of date by 5-6 years. Downloaded the new firmware and flashed it successfully. The laptop *still* doesn't recognize the SSD....but does recognize I have a new battery. I guess that's an improvement.

Interestingly, while using the BIOS flash tool, the laptop can see part of the SSD as I was able to see part of Debian's /boot partition.

Never in my life did I ever expect replacing a laptop battery would cause me this much pain.

Dell Latitude 5400.

How do I get the BIOS to recognize my SSD?

겨울올림픽에서 트랜스젠더 선수가 처음으로 설원에 섰습니다. 스웨덴 프리스타일 스키 국가대표 엘리스 룬드홀름은 여성으로 태어나 남성으로 정체성을 밝힌 트랜스젠더 선수로, 이번 대회에서는 여자부 경기에 출전했습니다. 여름올림픽 종목을 중심으로 이뤄진 성별 논쟁이 겨울 무대까지 확장되면서 IOC가 준비 중인 새 규정에 관심이 쏠립니다.

Someone has to explain to me slowly why, if satellites are a 70-year old technology, companies have only decided to heavily invest on them (e.g. Starlink, Amazon LEO...) in the last decade. Is there a scientific, regulatory, economic or political development that has made this easier, cheaper or profitable now?

トランプが無能で自分が信用するべき情報を取捨選択できないので陰謀論の再生産を続けているのは置いておいても、2期目のトランプ当選の原動力になったのは2ちゃんねるから4 chan(だっけ?)とかDiscordに移動しつつ続いてきた、ふざけて投稿されたしょーもない陰謀論を信じ込んだ人たちだろうと僕は思ってます。そういうしょーもない陰謀論を信じた人たちを科学で説得するのはむっちゃ困難。

1期目のトランプ当選のときはアメリカでの2ちゃん後継ユーザーはそれほど多くなかったので、Cambridge Analyticaとかぷーちんとかの影響も効いてたきのする。

“이런 에너지를 가져다줘서 감사하다.” 지난해 10월 26일 텍사스주 포트워스에서 출발해 108일 동안 약 3700㎞를 걸어서 워싱턴에 도착한 불교 승려들의 ‘평화를 위한 순례’에 미국 사회가 열광하고 있습니다. ‘미국인들이 순례단에 왜 이토록 뜨겁게 반응하느냐’는 질문에 한 참가자는 “많은 사람에게 평화의 메시지가 절실해서”라고 답했습니다.

科学でニヒリズムを克服するのは不可能です。
事実命題からは当為命題は引き出せないのは、ヒュームが指摘済み(Is–ought problem)。

科学で陰謀論やトランプに立ち向かうのは不可能だと考えている。嘲笑されて終わりだろう。
