Customs and Border Protection (CBP) bought data from the online advertising ecosystem to track peoples’ precise movements over time, in a process that often involves siphoning data from ordinary apps like video games, dating services, and fitness trackers, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document obtained by 404 Media.

The document shows in stark terms the power, and potential risk, of online advertising data and how it can be leveraged by government agencies for surveillance purposes. 404media.co/cbp-tapped-into-th

The fact that Iranian drones are striking targets across the Middle East and reaching even Cyprus (btw. Hallo, Fidias) while facing 8 countries with highly advanced Air Force’s and air defense assets underlines how skilled Ukrainian air defense has become. Ukrainians are dealing with this on a daily base with success rates way over 90%, for 4 years.

@dansup Going to have to respectfully disagree here. In my experience coding is something that you have to have a strong knowledge of what's going on if you're to maintain it, and even the use of code copied and pasted from other places gets in the way of that. What, then, about code that no human being explicitly wrote? I feel like these coders are being led into a trap that could damage their ability to learn the skills they'll need later on in their careers.

In Brussels 🇪🇺 today, Paul Sharratt is participating in the fourth meeting of the Expert Group, representing the in discussions on implementation.

Drawing on our experience in the open source ecosystem, we are contributing expertise to help ensure the CRA supports secure and sustainable digital infrastructure in Europe, particularly for maintainers of critical technologies.

Two things:
1. If we’re sinking Iranian ships in the open ocean using submarines, this is an offensive war, and the President needs to declare war and go to Congress.
2. If you sink a ship with a torpedo, and there are no other threats around, you are obligated to search for, and rescue, survivors. The US Navy needs to stop being complicit in Hegseth’s war crime spree.

@django

In a technical sense constituting a shift towards a fediverse of apps and services.

In a social sense as inter-connected spaces that are open for people to explore, collaborate, cocreate, and do all the things we do offline to the extent we can do them online too, plus all the extra's that remote connection by technological means have to offer.

But that is an exploratory design area. A vast space hardly explored. This is where Social experience design focuses. See the diagram at coding.social where SX broadens horizons by taking a more holistic approach (actually utterly holistic and boundless in scope, as SX scales from personal to societal levels).

What envisions is a peopleverse. A hypothetical place-to-be in the future where our online and offline worlds are seamlessly intertwined and in services of our day to day activities and human needs.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding..
> As for JSON-LD it must see to rewin hearts and minds, must inspire and convince people to take the bet of adopting

Agreed. But to do that requires explaining to people what it's for, and the potential benefits over vanilla JSON that make it worth the extra dev effort.

Reviving the Semantic Web vision - the *vision* not previous (failed) implementations - seem to me to be the most obvious way to do that.

But as always, I'm open to other suggestions : )

@gugurumbeVivien (toujours dans le déni)

@strypey @gugurumbeVivien (toujours dans le déni)

So what is the Semantic web actually, is the real question to ask. And what is semantic social networking if we apply it to that field. What does it bring in terms of value and benefits, new opportunities that didn't exist before. To LD proponents these may be very clear and obvious, but to many others hearing it is saying nothing to them. And also, when they are enticed to take a deeper look they find an every increasing amount of inter-related standards and skills to master around them. Aggregate linked data in data store, now what? How do I query it? Oh, XQuery you say, but I already do everything in SQL.

It is reported that an US Navy submarine sunk the Iranian frigate "IRIS Dena" off the coast of Sri Lanka. This has been confirmed by US officials. This ship had a displacement of 1,500 tonnes.

The Sri Lankan Navy has rescued so far 32 sailors, while over 100 are still missing.

Ok, das finde ich wirklich sehr, sehr lustig: Microsoft findet, dass man für seie AI-Agents (für die man Geld bezahlen soll) eine Lizenz braucht, wenn man sie Microsoft-Produkte nutzen lässt. Und die Lizenz soll wohl mehr kosten als eine Lizenz für Menschen. 😂

Our industry has always been a mess of contradictions, because people are a mess of contradictions.

The following sounds like open mic humour, but it's a real part of our history: There was a moment in time when recursion was considered an advanced thing to be avoided as "too complicated,' while we simultaneously required new hires to have a degree in Computer Science.

I used to ask, “Which is it? Are we educated professionals who know how to use our tools? Or not?”

TIL, there is a term for huge human job loss created by technology like AI or other such stuff.

In economics, deskilling is the process by which skilled labor within an industry or economy is eliminated by the introduction of technologies operated by semi- or unskilled workers. This results in cost savings due to lower investment in human capital, and reduces barriers to entry, weakening the bargaining power of the human capital.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deskilli

the term is older but I learned today
