Hab vor 'ner Weile im Laden "Ameisen-Buffet" gesehen und dachte, krass, hätte nicht gedacht, dass das schon im Mainstream angekommen ist, dass die Ameisen in Deutschland aktuell hart am Aussterben sind, so dass es genug Interesse an einem Produkt wie dem Bienenhotel nur eben für Ameisen gibt.
Ja, die meisten Ameisen verschwinden, weil ihr Lebensraum zerstört wird, unter anderem durch Pestizide oder weil z.B. weniger totes Holz in den Wäldern gelassen wird. Wenn man als Ameise nur 'ne bewässerte Wiese braucht, dann kann ich mir schon vorstellen, dass dein Garten Freude bereitet.
Kann gerade keine wirklich gute Statistik finden, aber hier sieht man zum Beispiel in Abb. 2, dass 60% der Ameisenarten in Deutschland rückläufig sind: bmuv.de/fileadmin/Daten_BMU/Do…
Das paßt einfach nur ins Bild eines ganz allgemeinen Kollaps der Biodiversität. Wir stecken im von den unschönen Nebenwirkungen des Industriezeitalters ausgelösten 6. Massenaussterben der Erdgeschichte, da geht die Biomasse von allen möglichen Spezies zurück, während die einiger weniger Arten rapide ansteigt -- nicht nur Menschen, ihre domestizierten Pflanzen- und Tierspezies und die davon abhängigen Spezies wie Parasiten und Schädlinge, sondern auch verschleppte invasive Spezies sowie solche Generalisten, für die der Niedergang komplexer Ökosysteme riesige ungenutzte Nischen eröffnet. Na ja, vermutlich ist das Industriezeitalter in 200-300 Jahren komplett vorbei, und der Kaputtalismus mit seinem bösartigen tumorhaften Wirtschaftswachstum kollabiert spätestens um 2050, wenn er überhaupt noch so lange durchhält. Interessant ist, wie schlimm die kumulativen Schäden an allen möglichen ökologischen Systemen dieses Planeten bis dahin noch werden. Wenn nur so 50-60% aller Spezies aussterben, stehen die Chancen sehr gut, daß hinreichend viele Menschen den Kollaps überleben, daß die Hominiden nicht aussterben. Wenn wir es so weit eskalieren lassen, daß 90% aller Spezies aussterben, dann verschwinden mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit alle ökologischen Nischen für große Landwirbeltiere, und das sind wir dummerweise halt auch. Egal wie es läuft, in 5-10 Millionen Jahren ist die Biosphäre wieder völlig normal, nur halt mit anderen Spezies, die aus den Überlebenden evolvieren. Um Ameisen würde ich mir keine Sorgen machen, die haben diverse ganz gewaltige Massensterben überlebt. Selbst wenn die meisten Spezies von denen verschwinden, ist das nicht allzu schlimm für die Ameisen insgesamt. Problematisch ist eher, daß die verschwindenden Ameisenspezies alle möglichen Tiere und Pflanzen beeinflussen, und daß sich dort, wo sie verschwinden, andere Spezies breitmachen, die andere Einflüsse auf das lokale Ökosystem haben.

The vast majority of submitted notes – more than 90% – never reach the public. In early 2025, over 17% of English notes and 15% of Spanish notes remained unevaluated. Some were rated “not helpful,” and dismissed. But many are simply never rated at all, leaving them stranded in the system without ever entering a decision pipeline. For a program marketed as fast, scalable, and transparent, these figures should raise serious concerns.
The Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA) examined how X’s Community Notes system functions across English and Spanish, drawing from over 1.76 million notes submitted globally between 2021 and 2025.

I run Firefox with uBlock Origin in my work as well as private device for > 2 years without any issues including tricky applications like Citrix, Virtual Desktops etc.
On my mobile, I use Fennec with uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes and PrivacyBadger and sometimes have some small issues, so I have to view the page in Desktop mode instead.
But compared to a web full of ads, it's a difference like day and night. Definitely won't go back any time soon!

The “Manifesto” articulates a systematically structured sequence of ten distinct propositions, enumerated from 0 to 9, each delineating the underlying principles, strategic approaches, and aesthetic manifestations that shape the critical concept of “algorithmic sabotage” within the expansive and intricately interwoven frameworks of digital culture and information technology.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” is a figure of techno-disobedience for the militancy that’s absent from technology critique.
Rather than an atavistic aversion to technology, “Algorithmic Sabotage” can be read as a form of counter-power that emerges from the strength of the community that wields it.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” cuts through the capitalist ideological framework that thrives on misery by performing a labour of subversion in the present, dismantling contemporary forms of algorithmic domination and reclaiming spaces for ethical action from generalized thoughtlessness and automaticity.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” is an action-oriented commitment to solidarity that precedes any system of social, legal or algorithmic classification.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” is a part of a structural renewal of a wider movement for social autonomy that opposes the predations of hegemonic technology through wildcat direct action, consciously aligned itself with ideals of social justice and egalitarianism.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” radically reworks our technopolitical arrangements away from the structural injustices, supremacist perspectives and necropolitical authoritarian power layered into the “algorithmic empire”, highlighting its materiality and consequences in terms of both carbon emissions and the centralisation of control.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” refuses algorithmic humiliation for power and profit maximisation, focusing on activities of mutual aid and solidarity.
The first step of techno-politics is not technological but political. Radical feminist, anti-fascist and decolonial perspectives are a political challenge to “Algorithmic Sabotage”, placing matters of interdependence and collective care against reductive optimisations of the “algorithmic empire”.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” struggles against algorithmic violence and fascist techno-solutionism, focusing on artistic-activist resistances that can express a different mentality, a collective “counter-intelligence”.
“Algorithmic Sabotage” is an emancipatory defence of the need for communal constraint of harmful technology, a struggle against the abstract segregation “above” and “below” the algorithm.
The “Manifesto” articulates a systematically structured sequence of ten distinct propositions, enumerated from 0 to 9, each delineating the underlying principles, strategic approaches, and aesthetic manifestations that shape the critical concept of “…
As a central component of the Algorithmic Sabotage Research Group (ASRG) research initiative, the text titled Theorizing “Algorithmic Sabotage” serves as the introductory section of a collaborative, multi-authored endeavor that seeks to critically an…
An MIT-led study of three major global cities examines millions of restaurant menu items and concludes that having fewer and less nutritional eating options nearby correlates with obesity and other health outcomes.
Our analysis revealed a significant decline in the quality of information shared on Twitter/X following the platform’s ownership transition. Before the acquisition, both the Twitter panel and Decahose datasets exhibited slight improvements in information quality before the acquisition on October 27, 2022, but after the transition, this trend reversed, leading to a measurable decline in the credibility of shared sources. This pattern is evident across different measures of credibility and was confirmed by an interrupted time series (ITS) analysis, which detects a sharp decline immediately after the acquisition, followed by a sustained downward trend. These findings suggest that changes in platform governance and user behavior correspond with a deterioration in the quality of shared content.
Following the leadership transition on October 27, 2022, Twitter/X underwent a notable change in platform governance. This study investigates how these changes influenced information quality for registered U.S. voters and the platform more broadly.

Hundreds of activists staged a protest outside the UN's “AI for Good” summit in Geneva demanding: No AI for genocide and war crimes.
The UN’s partnership with tech companies enabling Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza is: UNethical UNlawful UNacceptable
By providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli military, UN tech partners Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Oracle, Palantir and IBM are deeply complicit in Israel’s regime of apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians.
Israel’s is the first AI powered genocide.
We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to take the below actions.
AI’s impact on human rights is not limited to Palestinians. But as the “test subjects” for militarized technologies exported globally and as survivors of Israel’s ongoing, AI-assisted genocide, Palestinians are a canary in the coal mine warning the world of the catastrophic future of weaponized AI.
New research, co-authored by academics from the University of Manchester and the University of Groningen, adds nuance to the idea that journalists have hyped AI technologies.
