Publicly funded software has to be #FreeSoftware. While there are plenty of good reasons for this, many politicians don’t know about them yet.

one of those TV shows where they have a judge hear small claims cases, but instead of an old person like Judge Judy or Judge Wapner, it's a zoomer with neopronouns. it's called "Tough but Faer."

🇩🇪Die von uns #Piraten unterstützte Recherche #FuckOffAI von Jan Böhmermann @janboehm zur EU-Überwachungsforschung ist da! Sie zeigt unsere Arbeit als #Piraten im EU-Parlament auf:
⚖️ Meine erfolgreiche EuGH-Transparenzklage auf Offenlegung der #iBorderCtrl-Überwachungsforschung zu unwissenschaftlichen KI-Video-Lügendetektoren hat diese Recherche ermöglicht https://www.patrick-breyer.de/beitraege/iborderctrl/
📄 Wir haben viele weitere #iBorderCtrl-Unterlagen herausgeklagt: https://nextcloud.pp-eu.eu/index.php/s/seyNjWKQgQtCSZY
❓Die im ZDF-Beitrag gezeigte Stellungnahme von EU-Kommissarin „Big Sister“ Johansson erfolgte auf meine Anfrage: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/beitraege/iborderctrl/#Anfragen
🤥🎦 Das KI-Gesetz der EU (#AIAct), gegen das wir #Piraten fast als einzige gestimmt haben, schließt den Einsatz von „Video-Lügendetektoren“ nicht aus, weil ein Änderungsantrag von mir und anderen Kollegen erfolglos blieb.
🗳️Der Digital-o-mat zur #Europawahl hat schnell reagiert und eine Frage dazu ergänzt – mach den Test: https://digitalomat24.de

Another large language model scraper blocked. This graph is from a site which runs a tool generating answers for people doing important research work. The AI scraper sent hundreds of thousands of lookup requests evading rate limits by using about a thousand IPs and pinned multiple webservers at 100% CPU (graph from one attached). This is a massive waste of electricity to train a hallucination machine.

Late-stage tech has sorted a basket of otherwise equally talented nerds by who could talk to people with money, not by who could talk to people that have problems that need solving.

So what do you call this level of hatred? This fanatical desire to annihilate an entire civilisation?

Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

#WordPress #accessibility - if you're blind and want to go back to 90s technology, use #gutenberg editor's "move block" upwards or downwards key combination. ctrl-alt-shift-t for up, ctrl-alt-shift-y for down, well, screen reader won't tell you the block has been moved and you'll relive the 90s experience when you had to count button pressures to learn a remote control or cd player's usage. Moving block from toolbar is correctly notified instead. Hope it's fixed soon! https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/61168

Has anyone written about how textual generative AI feels strangely close to toxic masculinity in some respects? The absolute confidence in everything stated, the lack of understanding of the consequences of getting that confidence wrong for important questions, the semi-gaslighty feeling when it “corrects” itself when you call it out on something. It so often feels like talking to someone one would despise and avoid in “real life.” I’m curious if anyone did some writing on this.

1980s: Personal computers! So you don't have to use a mainframe! Independence!

2000s: Web services! So you're dependent on a handful of mainframes! Annoying if one is offline, but you can still get stuff done.

2020s: AI! So you're dependent on a single mainframe that serves everyone world-wide! Too bad if it goes down.

You probably have seen already all the caps about google AI recommending to put a bit of glue in your pizza sauce. You may have seen also how someone digged up that it comes from a reddit shitpost from ten years ago.

This case illustrate perfectly something I've been saying for a while: chatbots are basically a cosmetic upgrade over the good old "I'm feeling lucky" Google button.

Or more exactly: a new version of the button that needs 600 million $ in Nvidia gear every month and wastes half a liter of water every time you click it

The word apartheid is Afrikaans for "separation."

The word hafrada is Hebrew for "separation," and this is what they call their policy of physical and legal separateness between Palestinian and Israeli civil society

They didn't even make the word mean a different thing

I'm so happy I added mass actions to the Curated Onboarding feature

You may be wondering why https://pixelfed.social closes registration so often, and the reason is we get ALOT of spam registrations

Our Autospam system prevents them from becoming a problem, but this eliminates potential spammers before they even get a chance

Take a look for yourself, and remember most growth on the fediverse is spam.

The dead internet theory is alive, and active if you pay attention.

Most fedi devs don't 😉

Released: PHP_CodeSniffer 3.10.1 🎉

This release contains a hotfix for a bug in the DNF syntax support layer, which could get confused over named parameters.

It also fixes a longer-standing bug which was plaguing match expressions containing nested arrays/closures or other nested structures.

Things should now be shiny again.

sometimes i become intractably stuck with a story or gameplay during development, and i have to give it a few weeks or months to breathe

a few years ago i imagined making games as if Cyan had failed with Myst, and went back to making 1-bit first person adventures for the macintosh instead

set on the distant pacific island of Shima no Shima, the adventure begins in a dreary abandoned basement.
