Practice-based research in arts and design. Interested in sociotechnical systems, DIY, self-organization and alternative technological trajectories. Sometimes I boost things multiple times because of time zones and chronological feeds.

Last Notes npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 Incredible result for the German Left party in Berlin. Votes are still being counted but it seems to echo what has happened in several large cities in Sweden last election: big jumps for the left based on grass-roots campaigns mobilizing those who would otherwise not vote. npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 Due to unfortunate life choices I have become one of the main yamlwranglers for the #Peertube @nprofile…ezcn recipe. Thanks to the help of @nprofile…63wc we finally managed to update the recipe to the latest version. Please update your Peertube co-opcloud installs ASAP because doing so fixes a critical security vulnerability: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v8.1.8 npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 @nprofile…el49 glad we're not doubling down on social media age limits everywhere npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 https://post.lurk.org/system/media_attachments/files/116/656/825/495/028/409/original/8cf59eadd4f4001f.jpeg npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 Action Guide: Moving Away from Big Tech npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 Crypto currency scammers are targeting ships stuck in the Persian Gulf by pretending to be the IRGC and offering safe passage in exchange for crypto payment. npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 "What was normalized in Gaza will not stay in Gaza. This is perhaps the most important thing to understand, and the thing that the framing of the current conflict as a local, bounded military operation most dangerously obscures. Every targeting algorithm stress-tested over Gaza’s densely populated streets, every AI system whose performance data is being collected in real time, represents intellectual property and operational knowledge that will flow, via export and emulation, through the global defense technology market into other conflicts, other theaters, other cities." npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 "I would wager, in fact, that the most common left-liberal position is not that generative AI is just a stochastic parrot, but a product built by powerful profit-seeking firms that’s capable of serious harms. It’s not a semantic or philosophical critique the AI industry should be worried about, in other words, but a material one. AI is viewed, correctly, as a threat to jobs, education, mental wellbeing, the arts, child safety, the information ecosystem, and as possessing little upside for few others then corporate managers and AI companies." npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 Yearly experiment to see how bad long distance trains by DB have become off to a good start: brand new train but to destination unknown. npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 @nprofile…wjyk form follows funding npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 @nprofile…f3zv Yeah agreed!

However, research by the Israeli disinformation watchdog FakeReporter has found that the bot, which was built to push out a pro-Israel narrative, actually did the opposite: Due to its use of #AI, at times the content it generated undermined Israeli talking points, even pushing out October 7 denialism, amplifying pro-Palestinian accounts and, more recently, false information regarding hostages. npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 South #Sweden still has not had meteorological winter this year. npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 Wow this struck a chord, it seems I was not the only one who was not aware of this story! npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 @nprofile…xzw4 have a look at the archive of The Rest Is History! npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 "Community servers for interdependent #feminist trans*feminist free/libre self-hosted #federated autonomous collective #cooperative community and #art servers " npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 The idea of starter packs and introductions are nice and all, but then this happens: npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 TLSv1.3 (OUT), TLS handshake, Client hello npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 If you want to discover fediverse accounts through your browsing serendipity I can not recommend Street Pass by @npub1n3l…gzey enough! npub15lyx8egaa5z6m8mr0uqsvsacjun53qhpvnjmf4v8ylk53nh9mq0s85cx5l 𝓻𝓻𝓪 "On the hottest and coldest days, when demand for electricity peaks and the price soars, the bitcoin miners either sell power back to providers at a profit or stop mining for a fee, paid by ERCOT.
