TIL BBC used to have an "Ethics" portal where they tried to cover moral issues from different angles. It includes pages that claim, among others, that "Contraception is inherently wrong", and this lovely passage on hunting:

• hunting provides human employment
• hunting preserves Britain's cultural traditions
• hunting provides sport and pleasure to many people

The portal is "archived and no longer being updated", but the pages are still up. I kind of see why one would want to have a list of all sorts of arguments, but... Idk, this "we're being centrist in the debates" might be a bit too much for me.

The "There are people who say that Contraception is inherently wrong" page: bbc.co.uk/ethics/contraception

Hey, Fediverse … Fedi advice needed.

I’m looking for an instance to host an account for my book. I really like .art, but it has defederated a lot of instances so I’m concerned about reach.
I considered bookstodon, but don’t want to CW violence (my book is gothic horror). People like beige, but it feels off brand (see: gothic horror).

So, suggestions?

High number of replies - please be patient 😅

I’ve been offline all afternoon, as there is no pre-school in France on Wednesdays.

The red badge you see in my screenshot indicates the number of new replies / mentions I have had in the past 9 hours: 173!

Please be patient, I will try to reply to everyone as soon as my little one is asleep 😅

Oh and thank you for all your superb recommendations in response to my morning toot, I really appreciate!

Would love to see much better behavior in Xcode when the underlying directory disappears. Right now it prompts you 3 times in a row and bounces your dock. This is happening more and more as I spin up parallel agents in worktrees and is quite annoying.

Rechtsextreme Tech-Oligarchie und zerstörerischer KI-Bullshit

Macht kaputt, was euch kaputt macht – Warum ChatGPT mit den ‚sozialen‘ Medien als Resonanzraum Rechtsextremismus befördert, Ungleichheit vergrößert und Gemeinschaft zersetzt

‚Die derzeitige Stärke autoritärer und rechtsextremer Strömungen weltweit fällt zusammen mit einer wachsenden Verunsicherung durch multiple Krisen (Klimazerstörung, Kriege, ökonomische Krise, unaufgearbeitete Pandemie, …) und einem massiven Bedeutungszuwachs ‚sozialer‘ Medien innerhalb der letzten fünf Jahre.

Algorithmisch verstärkte Polarisierung über Hass, Hetze und Falschinformation zerstört dabei weit mehr als ‚nur‘ eine gemeinsame Debattenkultur.

Eine Flut von postfaktischem Unsinn (sogenannter Bullshit) zersetzt die Grundlage für politische Willensbildung und eben auch widerständige Organisierung. Das ist leider kein unschöner Nebeneffekt einer ‚neutralen‘ technologischen Entwicklung, sondern vielmehr Teil eines technologischen Angriffs auf ‚das Politische‘ an sich, angetrieben von einer patriarchalen und ideologisch immer offener rechtsextrem auftretenden Tech-Oligarchie.….‘

KI macht kaputt

‚Ein Dutzend Beispiele dafür, wie der KI-Hype alles erstickt.

Wir erleben gerade die größte technologische Disruption aller Zeiten – und wenn nicht die größte, dann sicherlich die schnellste. Enorme Produktivitätssteigerungen, wissenschaftliche Durchbrüche. Sie kennen das Narrativ.

Die Kehrseite der Medaille: massive Arbeitsplatzverluste, geistiger Verfall, raffiniertere Cyberangriffe und mehr….‘

"GrapheneOS doesn’t see Unified Attestation as a solution, but just adds another new gatekeeper, replacing Google controls with a vendor-managed list.

The main argument made is that companies that sell phones should not be deciding which operating systems are allowed to run apps."

Warum fühle Ich mich von KI bedroht? Weil es ausschließlich um das Produkt geht anstelle das der Prozess dahinter verstanden und gewertschätzt wird. Langfristig wird KI keine Jobs wegnehmen, jetzt gerade aber glauben Arbeitgeber:innen darin eine Lösung zu sehen dessen Problem „kreativer Prozess“ heißt.
