Speaking only one language has nothing to do with this, there have always been subtitles.

YouTube does this so that one way or another they can say that more people use AI translations, and that shows investors there's value in AI and Google gets more investments.

Figlio del famoso musicista nigeriano Fela Kuti, in venticinque anni di produzione discografica Femi non ha mai tradito la rivoluzione afrobeat, un'identità culturale che resta viva nonostante la realtà sottostante abbia perso quei connotati di urgenza e rabbia che infiammò la stagione d’oro della musica africana. Polistrumentista abile sia con i fiati che con le tastiere, Femi si è dimostrato acuto nel contaminare gli elementi base dell’orchestra Egypt 80 con tracce di Motown sound e elementi dance, mentre il fingerpicking ossessivo delle chitarre, i fiati in coppia e gli incessanti fluidi ritmici di basso e percussioni si sono incontrati con suoni latini e world che hanno ampliato la capacità comunicativa della sua proposta... ondarock.it/recensioni/2013_fe…

Storia e disinformazione. I miti fondativi


Quella che oggi definiamo disinformazione è stata presente fin dai tempi antichi, talvolta celata dietro il velo della mitologia e della leggenda.

Gli albori delle civiltà, spesso, affondano le proprie radici in racconti di fantasia, dichiaratamente falsi o privi di solide basi storiche. E se consideriamo che le società attuali conservano caratteristiche di quelle civiltà che sono sopravvissute ai millenni (si pensi a cosa rappresenta il diritto romano per il diritto moderno, ad esempio) si può dire che a livello culturale la narrazione sull’origine delle nostre stesse società e di molti loro tratti essenziali potrebbe derivare da millenarie e mirabili menzogne.




A ticketing board

How would you see it work? IMO such boards are mostly for personal/organisation use, not a social space

And why not join it with your fediverse account just like you can access Trello with your GAMMA* account?
in reply to suoko

Ah, you mean for fediverse to work as an LDAP?

My point is
Let's imagine we have a board on some instance. You use your account on another instance to ask the owner of the board to give you access to the board.
The contents of the board are, IMO in most cases of such boards, "members only". So any changes happening inside should not be sent out to federating instances. Otherwise, privacy of such boards would be at the mercy of privacy of other instances. If restricted changes were sent out, technically speaking, any server it federates to can choose to show that content to everyone.
Which means you won't be able to access the contents via any other instance. Apart from the logging in part, you will still need to go to the instance hosting the board.
Unless it would be for publicly accessible boards only, like codeberg issues. That use-case could work



What is the best way to learn investing, portfolios, stocks, options, futures, etc.?

I need to make my money work but I don't have enough knowledge about the topic to do smart things with it, but I love studying and learning new things.

What would you recommend to learn how to administer money in the best way possible?

I found a 2008 edition of the Finance Theory I [1] course on MIT OpenCourseWare , would it make sense to learn from there?

For context I studied computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science.

Also context, I am in the EU (Italy).

Having knowledge of a field and knowing what is and what isn't BS can be very useful. For example when AMD released their Ryzen architecture their stock didn't rise much, but their product performance improvement was massive. Though keep in mind that in the end it's mostly sales which determine stock price. Having a great product doesn't do anything for a company if they fail to sell it.


Pay or Okay report: how companies make you pay for privacy


So-called ‘Pay or Okay’ systems are on the rise in Europe. First introduced by newspapers in Austria and Germany, Meta adopted the approach for Instagram and Facebook in 2023. By now, many websites across Europe are using similar systems. Instead of giving users a genuine choice whether to accept or reject ad tracking, ‘Pay or Okay’ systems ask for a payment if you want to refuse “consent”. This leads to “North Korean consent rates” of 99.9%. Many news companies claim that the approach is necessary to finance quality media. In reality, digital advertising makes up at best 10% of the revenue of European press. Given the upcoming guidelines by the EDPB on this topic, this report analyses the industry’s arguments and the actual economic impact of ‘Pay or Okay’.


CBS cancels The Late Show with Stephen Colbert


Colbert’s show cost over $100 million annually and reportedly lost $40–50 million each year. But this alone does not explain its termination. Television history is filled with unprofitable yet high-profile productions that networks sustained for strategic reasons.

The political atmosphere surrounding the decision and the mounting evidence of behind-the-scenes coercion offer further insight into Colbert’s firing. Paramount Global, CBS’s parent company, is in the midst of an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which would create a $28 billion behemoth called Paramount Skydance Corporation. Skydance CEO is David Ellison, son of Oracle’s Larry Ellison, a multibillionaire. Both Ellisons are Trump supporters.

The merger is undergoing regulatory scrutiny—particularly by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), now under the direct control of the Trump administration. The deal’s approval has been delayed until at least October 2025, and its fate clearly hangs on Paramount’s ability to placate the White House.

This is the same Trump administration that has made a specialty of waging legal and financial war on the media. Most recently, Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal ($10 billion). Previously, he settled a defamation lawsuit with ABC News ($15 million) and, most relevantly, with Paramount itself—$16 million paid to settle a suit related to a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.

Colbert publicly denounced the latter settlement, calling it a “big fat bribe.” Days later, CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show.

AIPAC-Backed Lawmakers Are Pushing AI Funding for Israel


A wish list of legislative items prioritized by the pro-Israel lobbying powerhouse American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) earlier this year has been nearly entirely fulfilled by the new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), including tens of millions of dollars a year for the Israeli military to develop artificial intelligence technologies.

Congressional Republicans have, as usual, turned the must-pass annual defense policy legislation into a defense industry bonanza. The latest version of the NDAA that advanced in the House last week authorizes $848 billion in spending for the US military, much of which will be funneled (with additional revenue from Donald Trump’s megabill) straight to private defense contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Israel, unsurprisingly, is another major winner, thanks in part to the lobbying forces of AIPAC in Washington, DC. The group spent more than $100 million on the 2024 federal elections, setting a campaign spending record. Nearly two-thirds of Congress have accepted AIPAC money, ensuring a united bipartisan front in support of Israel even as the country wages what many experts have definitively concluded is a genocide in Gaza.

NYC leaders call for inspection after video shows poor conditions at Federal Plaza detention center


MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- There are growing questions surrounding video showing crowded conditions inside a federal immigration center in Manhattan, and now New York City leaders are calling for a full inspection.

If video tells the story, then the New York Immigration Coalition hopes images from inside 26 Federal Plaza bring about a much-needed change.

The organization released footage recorded on the 10th floor of the center, which shows men sleeping on the floor in crowded and unsanitary conditions.

Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US


The proposed update to Switzerland’s Ordinance on the Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic (VÜPF: Verordnung über die Überwachung des Post- und Fernmeldeverkehrs) represents a significant expansion of state surveillance powers, worse than the surveillance powers of the USA. If enacted, it would have serious consequences for encrypted services such as Threema, an encrypted WhatsApp alternative and Proton Mail as well as VPN providers based in Switzerland.

switzerland was never a utopia for anybody except corporations, billionaires, and nazis. their "neutrality" was nothing more than an excuse for unregulated capitalism.
in reply to underline960

Switzerland never had solid privacy laws - and is known for intelligence service overreach for decades.

They had a Stasi like system of "who to imprison" when "the time comes".

They listen to all IP traffic in and out the country - which is concerning in times of traffic pattern analysis.
And they are known for their close cooperation with US intelligence services.

Protons (and Threemas) claim of "soo good swiss privacy laws" is nothing more than swiss-washing. And they know it.

Proton has already given away data of its customers (climate activists) to the swiss authorities. And only talked about it when the press got onto it.

Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.

WordPress-ActivityPub v 7.1.0 Introduces Following Capabilities


The latest release of the ActivityPub WordPress plugin introduces new functionality for performing remote follows directly from WordPress. Here's why that's important for the future of WordPress on the Fediverse.


WordPress-ActivityPub v 7.1.0 Introduces Following Capabilities


The ActivityPub plugin team at Automattic has been doing some amazing work. Over the past few years, this single-person project has shifted from a single-person effort to a team of full-time developers. With the release of the 7.x branch of the ActvityPub integration plugin, project devs announced that they would be working on bringing remote following capabilities to the plugin itself.

Today, version 7.1.0 was released with a very early sneak peak at this new feature. While it’s currently hidden behind an “Advanced Options” toggle, it’s now possible to use the ActivityPub plugin to directly follow other Actors on the network.

Screenshot courtesy of ActivityPub for WordPress

This is still a relatively new feature, and the plumbing hasn’t been completely fleshed out yet. Team member Konstantin Obenland explains further in the announcement:

There’s really no functionality around it yet, beyond following accounts from other instances, as we have yet to start processing incoming posts and adding the ability to interact with them. But if you just can’t wait to show your appreciation for other accounts by following them, go wild!


Why is this Important?


The connection from WordPress to the rest of the Fediverse has always kind of been in a weird place. While the main ActivityPub integration for WordPress generally works great for sending articles to subscribers, following people directly from the WordPress dashboard has been messy. Right now, if you wanted to use your WordPress blog as an actual Fediverse account, you would need the following things:

  • Friends – a social dashboard for WordPress, still in the early stages. This piece is primarily used for following other people in the Fediverse.
  • Enable Mastodon Apps – This implements a substantial amount of the Mastodon API, so that you can post microblog updates directly to your WordPress site.
  • Event Bridge for ActivityPub – This technically adds support for federated Events, by converting your site’s events calendar into something people on the network can subscribe to and indicate their attendance.

With these three pieces, it’s possible to cobble together something that comes close to being a complete Fediverse user experience. Still, this process takes time to set up, can be prone to configuration issues, and sometimes has missing features. Having different plugins that all touch the ActivityPub integration can also be harder to test code and report issues.
We use Tusky with our site for social purposes. It’s pretty good, but definitely could be better.
By introducing remote following functionality directly into the ActivityPub plugin, the project team will effectively provide standard mechanisms for other plugins to directly rely on. In the near future, this might mean that you won’t have to rely on Friends to be the broker of your social connections. Instead, Friends can just use what’s already put in place by the core plugin, and focus on ways to just work as a social dashboard.

Also, Starter Packs!


One other thing worth mentioning involves preliminary support for the Fediverse Starter Kits, a proposed recreation of Bluesky’s Starter Pack functionality. While there have been a number of attempts to make something similar for the Fediverse in the past, there has yet to be a Fediverse standard for lists filled with recommended users to follow. However, the WordPress team has put in the effort to support Pixelfed‘s Starter Kit Data Schema as a point of reference.

In all, this release iterates on the current ActivityPub stack for WordPress, and could provide a stable foundation for a lot of future functionality that we’ve all come to expect from platforms such as Mastodon, Misskey, or even Bonfire.
