I love how the #FSF unerringly comes out in support against anyone trying to reduce the harm software is used for and maybe not hand it to murderers.
"It's only free if you don't try to stop anyone else from using it to kill people via the license terms" is the most US take *ever*.
(Not that OSI is different.)
That's how you end up with #Palantir as a major FOSS sponsor, I guess.

It really yucks my ick when people describe the #fediverse as "algorithm free".
Sorting your (filtered) feed in reverse chronological order is VERY MUCH an algorithm. (Supported by thousands more under the hood.)
Algorithm is a GOOD word. Algorithms help us process and make sense of vast amounts of data. If anything I want more sophisticated ones.
The problem with those on other platforms is that they're optimized to exploit and predate on us and not under our control.

Of all the apps & (cloud) services - unless your life is extremely boring - the highest ROI is taking ownership of your photos and videos.
Some legislations mandate scanning & many providers do it anyway: you risk awkwardness, loss of data or even all associated accounts with uncertain appeal process outcomes, plus potentially legal action.
Even if all your data *is* boring, false positives are highly likely.

The idea of first-movers is not to be confused with trying to secure an advantage sustainable for the long-term, though.
That's only engineers who're overly excited over technology and/or have greatly misunderstood the reality of capitalism.
The *business* reasoning to be a first-mover is to extract profits by exploiting "external costs" before regulation catches up.
If those are still around when the bubble bursts, they only want to extract the gov subsidies too.

And, to be clear, me harping on about the weird #Covid19 denial society has decided on isn't implying other crises - climate, war, the rise of right-wing reactionary fascism, the cistematic patriarchy, tech billionaires or billionaires in general, religious extremism, exploitative capitalism, AI hype, and all the ways how these lovelies interact to maximize their shite - aren't also terrible crises.
We're alas perfectly capable of experiencing several debilitating crises at the same time.

It is rather difficult not to sound alarmist when reality *is* alarming.

LongCovid found to affect 6-7% of adults globally (400 million human beings), impacting the global economy by 1% (~$1 trillion), not to mention quality of life.
"Addressing the challenge of long COVID requires an ambitious and coordinated—but so far absent—global research and policy response strategy."
"… because most people around the globe had mild #Covid19, they constitute more than 90% of people with #LongCovid …" #BaseRate

I don't understand the point of spammers on the #Fediverse.
As in, is anyone here going to click on that? Instead of an instant block & report?
I know there's always some fool, but, if the conversion rate is too low, surely at some point the spammers's costs must outweigh the benefits?

"Dialogpost" ist persönlich addressiert und der Aufkleber reicht nicht (sagt selbst die Verbraucherzentrale).
(Robinson Liste, direkte Aufforderung an die Versender, etc schon eher.)

We've definitely not made that decision, but I've seen for-rent flats that expected bathroom furniture to be provided by the tenants (including the mirror(s)).

Es ist doch absurd.
Das Problem ist doch nicht, dass sich Menschen krankschreiben lassen (welcher Anteil davon war überhaupt "böse" telefonisch?), sondern dass sie - MYSTERIÖS - seit Beginn der #SARSCoV2 Pandemie häufiger und stärker krank sind, sowohl wegen #Covid19 als auch anderem.
Verstehen die (inkl Medien) Konzepte wie Korrelation/Kausalität nicht, oder sind es schlechte Menschen?

Fundamentaler als die Software mit der unsere Wahlen laufen wird es in einer Demokratie kaum.
Da müsste es ein FLOSS Gebot geben.

Deutscher Nazi mit Sturmgewehr in Polen.
Man kann sich das alles nicht ausdenken.

Once you correctly configure your own SPF/DKIM setup and switch on reject/quarantine, you get to debug *everyone else's* misconfigured email forwarding or mailing list setup 🥰
Yay?

I'm occasionally pondering that while a *smart* home might have a lot of automations and tech, a *wise* home might ... not.

It pilfered all libraries and this is the best we got from it.

Oh, I wasn't actually aware that someone else had found this before! Nice. I had actually stumbled across it independently.
But it is very funny to me that this is the level of technology that certain people want to ram into everything and are burning 100+ Terawatt hours per year by now.
Sure, GPTs, LLMs, ML in general, very cool stuff. But also, as ready as a wet noodle.

I can also see this going great for coding, programming languages and computers are known to be very forgiving and tolerant
