Wir sollten bei jeder Gelegenheit die Vorteile von quelloffener Software und Diensten hervorheben. Die Deutungshoheit Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple und Co. zu überlassen, hat uns dorthin geführt, wo wir heute stehen: Ein datengetriebenes Web, das ohne Nutzerdaten nicht überlebt und uns mit Werbung bombardiert.
#Astronomy has another case of "#Bullshit circles the planet before the truth gets its shoes on" - A recent paper looked for #DysonSpheres by finding red stars which coincided with radio emission. The hype resulted in a thousand news articles... except a new paper shows they failed to check whether normal red M-dwarf stars might happen to be close to normal radio sources (radio-loud AGN) 🤦♂️ https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14921
Now we'll be lucky if this good science gets 10% the press that the original did.

And I see this kind of #antisemitic#bullshit from #leftists sooo regularly in the #fediverse that I accidentally used "regularly" twice here (and I can't edit it because #Misskey :P). Bloody hell. :chuckling_okuu:
Software, Dienste oder andere Abonnements, die zusätzlich zur Abogebühr Werbung anzeigen, werden von mir umgehend gekündigt. Werbung impliziert oft auch eine Form von Nutzer-Tracking, was für mich inakzeptabel ist. Unabhängig davon ist es einfach keine Option. Als Verbraucher müssen wir solchen Praktiken klar widersprechen.
I was very briefly in a discord group for writers that I’d been invited to join. Someone posted something which included the word “bullshit,” and the discord host said there was no room for such language as it was a “family-friendly” forum, something that was definitely not mentioned before I joined up. I quickly left the server, as I use words much more salty than that, and do not write “family-friendly” fiction. #WarningContainsLanguage#language#bullshit#WritingCommunity
