This paper is really important, presenting empirical evidence of the imbrication bet. AI & the surveillance biz model. This is notable particularly given that most production surveillance tech is proprietary, its existence and use hidden from the public.

@Mer__edith The only winning move is to refuse to contribute, buy and use #SurveillanceTech and to demand #FLOSS & #FLOSH as well as #decentralization!

Discord "servers" have nothing to do with servers, and calling them that is silly.

Ironically, Discord's own internal name for them ("Guilds") is actually pretty good, so sad they didn't use it in the UI.

Wordpress advertises that you can customize the look of email newsletters, but I couldn’t find settings for that — so I wrote support. They replied and said actually, no, there are no settings for that.

But first, their AI Support Bot took a crack at an answer — and absolutely, confidently hallucinated two settings that don’t actually exist. I thought I was losing my mind because they just weren’t there.

That feels worse than just not replying at all, right?

Support tells me, “Wordpress does not provide direct settings” to change these options.

Today, 15 years ago the person or group with the fictive name of “Satoshi Nakamoto” created the first cryptocurrency named Bitcoin with the thought of it becoming a secure and fast alternative to fiat currency.

Now it's known as the most wasteful use of electricity, inefficient and limiting capability/functionality, as well as being among the most insecure and de-anonymizing ways to transfer money.

However, what Satoshi Nakamoto probably hasn't expected is how many scam-currencies would come after theirs, and how their invention would create a new breed of the most annoying people known to our species: crypto-bros.

The only non- is :monero: because unlike Bitcoin the people behind that actually work towards making it an actually working payment system, resulting in payment fees being lower than on "traditional " by a magnitude of 10 even in the worst conditions...

@dsfgs @jonas @ErikUden :bitcoin: is just bad and there is no legitimate reason to use it instead if :monero: when Bitcoin has no redeeming qualities and is so slow and expensive that taking a cab to an ATM, widthdraw cash, taking a cab back and paying this way is not only cheaper but faster.

Meanehile Monero doesn't need Sidechain-BS & Hacks like "Lightning Network" because it's meant to be used as payment system and not a tax & sanctions abvoidance scheme for oligarchs.

You can see that :bitcoin: doesn't scale by the sheer fact that it's glacial transaction times make it utterly useless as a means of payment.

That's why noone except and committing and use it.

Bitcoin's liquidity is nonexistant and it's value is solely based upon rich assholes hoarding it and buying it for more than it's worth, which should be 0!

Das trifft genau meine Gemütslage:

"Ich habe das erste Mal richtig Angst vor demokratischen Wahlen (...) Der Kulturbereich ist der erste Bereich, der richtig bedrängt wird und wo gesagt wird: Da müssen wir sofort aufräumen." In Polen wurden beispielsweise Theaterintendanten ersetzt durch künstlerische Leiter, die der rechtspopulistischen PiS-Partei nahestehen.

I will gladly work with people of a variety of ideological leanings if they understand the vital and immediate need for antifascism and a broad application of justice across society.

But I will reserve my right to be critical of bad takes and keep healthy boundaries on what I'm willing to do and who I'm willing to support. And I'm not going to get along well with someone who doesn't know the difference between laws and justice.

@osric @threetails OFC it is necessary.

Without "kicking down" and scaring people shit wouldn't work.

The affluent wageworkers get scared of those that barely make ends meet, and those get scared if getting unemployed and those get scared of the homeless...

We don't need forced labour or slavery when the need to do wagework is a matter of survival by deprivation of human rights if one isn't exploitable or rejects said system.

Capitalism is just "Neofeudalism light"...

🤬 "Die A1 soll massiv verbreitert werden, viel Grün muss dafür weichen"

"Allein sieben Hektar Waldflächen und streng geschützter Biotope müssen gerodet werden, darunter teils alter Baumbestand"

Würde die Regierung den gesetzlich gebotenen Klima- und Umweltschutz ernst nehmen, würden mehr Fahrstreifen allein zulasten derer Breite und der maximal zulässigen Höchstgeschwindigkeit gehen. Also ein mal neu markieren und 80 Schilder aufstellen, mehr Kapazität ohne Ausbau.
