"According to Hesiod, iron hardened not only our ploughs but also our souls. Under its influence, our spirit was hammered and forged in fire, our brand-new desires quenched like the hissing metal in the smith's cauldron. Virtues were tested and values destroyed just as our bounty burgeoned and our states expanded. Strength begat new joys but weariness and injustices too. Zeus would have no choice, Hesiod foretold, but to one day destroy a humanity incapable of restraining its own, technologically induced, power.
My father wanted to disagree with Hesiod. He wanted to believe that the humans could become the masters of our technology rather than enslave ourselves and one another with it. When Prometheus stole fire, symbolizing the white heat of technology, from Zeus on humanity's behalf, he did so in the hope that it would lighten

CORTE AIA ACCETTA CASO DI GENOCIDIO CONTRO ISRAELE:
«I Palestinesi hanno diritto di essere protetti da atti di genocidio. Israele prenda tutte le misure.»

RE: la Repubblica

Un fatto storico: la corte dell’Aia (Corte internazionale di Giustizia) accetta di seguire il caso di genocidio contro Israele!
Vedremo nei prossimi giorni se i governi che lo supportano - Stati uniti, Regno Unito, Germania e Francia - faranno un passo indietro, rispettando la Corte internazionale e unendosi alla volontà del cessate il fuoco.

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Blocking Threads/Meta :facebook: ​:nes_fire:​

With this week's news
about Meta starting to test Threads integration with ActivityPub (the protocol that makes the Fediverse interconnected): https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/13/meta-starts-testing-threads-integration-with-activitypub/

Many people, like myself,
might feel uneasy about this. There are many reasons to be:

Whether it is due to Meta's (mal)practices when it comes to moderation, disinformation, politics, or problematic privacy, to say the least, your discomfort with this is very valid :valid:​

On Mastodon,
know that you can pre-block a whole domain at the account level ⛔️

Now, this is not a complete solution and might not prevent all of your data from passing through, but it should prevent Threads accounts on these instances from following you and seeing most of your posts, and you theirs.

HOW TO ❓

  1. On desktop, go to "Preferences" > "Import and export"

  2. On your computer, create a text file and copy the 2 following lines in it:

threads.instagram.com
threads.net

  1. Change the ".txt" extension of this file to ".csv"

  2. Go back to Mastodon's Preferences and go to the "Import" section in the left side menu.

  3. There, for "Import type" select "Domain blocking list"

5.1. On the right, make sure to select "Merge" and not Overwrite in order to keep your previously blocked Domains, if you had any.

5.2. In "Data" on the left, click on "Browse" and select the ".csv" file you just wrote.

5.3. Click "UPLOAD" at the bottom.

  1. You will then see a message to confirm. Click "CONFIRM" :blocky_white_cursor:​

  2. Done! And good riddance! :blobcatrainbow:​​✨

At the very end of the book, Varoufakis calls for “a cloud rebellion to overthrow technofeudalism.” This section is very short – and short on details. That’s not a knock against the book: there are plenty of very good books that consist primarily or entirely of analysis of the problems with a system, without having to lay out a detailed program for solving those problems.

But for what it’s worth, I think there is a way to plan and execute a “cloud rebellion” – a way to use laws, technology, reverse-engineering and human rights frameworks to shatter the platforms and seize the means of computation. I lay out that program in The Internet Con: How the Seize the Means of Computation, a book I published with Verso Books a couple weeks ago:

As a former medical student, Malatesta was entrusted with a section of sick people; they had a particularly high recovery rate because he knew how to force the city of Naples to turn over food and medicine in abundance, which he distributed liberally. He was offered an official decoration, the order of good merit, which he refused. When the epidemic ended, the anarchists left Naples and published a manifesto explaining that “the true cause of cholera is poverty, and the true medicine to prevent its return can be nothing less than social revolution.”

-Luigi Fabbri’s “Life of Malatesta”

How artists are fighting back AI

This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI

> The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, , and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless...

“I don’t know why they shut us down. We’re not the problem,” said Ronald Demientieff, an elder in Holy Cross. “You have to regulate us because they killed them in the ocean? We’ve been regulating our fish way before Fish and Game came to this place.”

“Nothing can replace the fish,” said Tessiana Paul, an administrator at the tribal government in Holy Cross, Alaska.

"They said significant cuts would risk sinking Area M fisheries and jeopardize local tax revenue that funds schools and other essential services."
