Wer heute für Palantir arbeitet oder mit diesem Unternehmen kooperiert, kann sich nicht mehr damit herausreden, »von nichts gewusst« zu haben. Der Chef sagt offen, dass Palantir Kriegsführung unterstützt und stolz darauf ist. Parallel wird dieselbe Plattform als Heilsbringer für Krankenhäuser, Behörden und Industrie verkauft. Das ist keine neutrale Softwarefirma, sondern ein Machtapparat für Militär, Überwachung und Kontrolle. Wer mit Palantir paktiert, legitimiert genau das.

RE: chaos.social/@bitsoffreedom/11

🥳 Court victory against Meta 🎉

Today, a Dutch judge ruled in favour of EDRi member @bitsoffreedom of Freedom in the appeal vs. Meta.

Facebook and Instagram users will be free to choose how information appears in their feed - and not be forced into algorithmic timelines - will remain intact.

But the fight isn’t over as Meta is still ignoring these rules in other European countries.

💪 We will keep pushing to make sure the law is respected everywhere.

And then EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson presented the legislative proposal called Chat Control, which aimed to scan everything on all EU citizens' phones and computers (including conversations in end-to-end-encrypted messaging services). The message from the Commission was: we will only search for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

And then?

And then experts from all over the world explained to her that the kind of scanning she was talking about (as Ylva described it: a drug-sniffing dog that can detect illegal content in a message without reading the message) simply cannot be done safely, and that Chat Control would mean the end of privacy and pose a security threat to all Europeans. Ylva responded with: “what about the children?”

And then?

RE: chaos.social/@joergi/113953474

tl;dr: following an instance

I wrote here how to follow a complete instance timeline via @appsFedilab Apps , which is for me an absolute killer feature.

Has any other app like @Tusky @IceCubesApp or @ivory this feature?
If yes please add it to the original thread, thank you.

On the official @Mastodon app I haven't seen this feature.

Do you have any tips for this @FediTips please link it too,thx

Update: we've decided to go ahead and submit the CFP to @COSCUP 2026. The track will be called Fediverse & Social Web—think FOSDEM's Social Web devroom, but in Taipei. is free to attend, like FOSDEM.

If the track is accepted, would you be interested in coming to Taipei (Aug 8–9) to give a talk?

(Boosts appreciated!)

(1/5) I want to share a personal story today. This will be a thread, so please bear with me.

I’m pursuing a master’s degree in digital society alongside my work. Yesterday, I started to attend a course on research methods in the social sciences. The lecturer told us that our assignment would be to perform a research task using a slop machine.
I protested, of course, making my case why I considered using slop machines in research and educational highly unethical. (...)

All the "AI" products they developed would have been impossible without exploiting the creations and personal information of millions of people without their consent.

This is happening without any compensation for the hard work and data of the people without whom their technology would be impossible.

They are making billions from this exploitation.

Is this something you support?

*Edit*: here at least, I am clearly not isolated!

Perhaps I am increasingly isolated in holding this position, but I have no interest in reading "AI"-generated slop.

I love reading.

I read people's blogs and toots and whatever *because people wrote them* and I want to read their own thoughts and opinions.

I buy books, and read numerous different authors. I like finding new authors, bringing new ideas, styles etc.

Same with "AI" images. I'd prefer no image at all.

If you’re Nix-curious and want to talk to other people about it (no matter your skill level), coming to a meetup is a great opportunity!

The next Nix events in Switzerland are:

Nix Bern Meetup (@ Puzzle)
Wednesday, Apr 22, starting 18:00

meetup.com/nix-bern/events/313

…and then, one month later:

Nix Zürich ZHF meetup (@ OST Rapperswil-Jona)
May 16th-17th

zurich.nix.ug/

I have attended both meetups personally and can strongly recommend them! 😊

收到 Kodak Charmera 相機的 GR 造型保護殼了!

設計的挺不錯的,一開始沒看說明影片,裝相機時差點直接弄壞......😂

裝了之後,感覺有比較好拿,只是快門釋放時間感覺有點微妙啊~~~

這兩天都沒出門,照片效果還是只能過兩天再試了。 :0540:

삼성전자가 자회사 편입을 위해 로봇 전문기업 레인보우로보틱스 지분을 사들일 당시 삼성전자 기획팀 소속 직원이 관련 주식을 1억3천만원어치 매입한 정황을 검찰이 포착하고 수사 중인 것으로 15일 확인됐습니다. 검찰은 이 직원이 가족들에게 호재성 정보를 흘려 9억여원의 부당 이득을 챙기게 한 혐의도 살펴보고 있습니다.
