Meer gemeenten steunen de oproep van de Amsterdamse burgemeester Femke Halsema. Zij wil dat het kabinet de Israëlische regering tot de orde roept en dat de verwoesting van Gaza en de uithongering van en moord op Palestijnen stopt. Haar oproep krijgt vandaag navolging.
Na een rondgang van Nieuwsuur blijkt dat deze steden zich achter Amsterdam scharen: Den Haag, Groningen, Tilburg, Apeldoorn, Arnhem, Amersfoort, Leiden en Utrecht. Hopelijk volgen er snel nog veel meer...

AI chatbot Grok can’t stop talking about 'white genocide', admits it's by design
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok has been frequently bringing up the concept of a “white genocide” in South Africa - even in unrelated conversations - and has said its creators instructed it to treat the concept as both real and racially driven.
When faced with unrelated questions on issues such as enterprise software and building scaffolding, Grok offered false and misleading answers.
As demonstrated by many on X, Grok has been consistently steering conversations towards the controversial topic of an alleged “white genocide” in South Africa, regardless of the original question, highlighting a growing tendency to shift focus to this narrative tied to Musk’s country of origin.

77 años de #Nakba continua, 77 años de #resistencia también 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Hoy, 15 de mayo, se cumplen 77 años de la #Nakba de 1948
Durante décadas, el régimen #israelí ha perpetuado la #Nakba en curso, basada en tres pilares principales: colonización, desplazamiento y traslado forzosos, y #apartheid.
Hoy, el #genocidio de #Gaza entra en su 19º mes, el régimen israelí ha avanzado brutalmente en su pilar de desplazamiento forzoso: impulsando la limpieza étnica de la Franja de #Gaza, intensificando su campaña de supresión en #Cisjordania (especialmente en los campos de refugiados) e imponiendo una campaña de eliminación total contra la #UNRWA.
Las acciones del régimen #israelí, que han sido facilitadas y financiadas por los Estados coloniales occidentales, han servido para ampliar aún más la brecha de protección a la que se enfrentan las personas #palestinas refugiadas. Sin embargo, ante la negación de sus derechos inalienables y el perpetuo desplazamiento forzoso, el pueblo #palestino se mantiene firme e inquebrantable en su #resistencia al #régimen colonial - #apartheid #israelí.

President Zelenskyy after meeting Erdoğan in Ankara: “A good and productive meeting about peace and security. Thank you to President Erdoğan and Turkey for supporting real steps toward a full ceasefire and true diplomacy.
Russia again showed it’s not serious about ending the war by sending a weak delegation — a sign of disrespect to the world. We expect a strong response from our partners.
We also discussed security guarantees, ceasefire monitoring, demining, Ukraine’s recovery, and strengthening our partnership.”

How would you make money on FREE software, without going down the horrid ad revenue patch companies today use?
Now, do I believe that source available Software could rise within a licensed/patented monetary model. Yes I do think there is a better chance there.
Interested in feedback on these thoughts 😀
Yes, I indeed thought of OSS, without the F. Regarding ads, I'm definitely very much against it and would strongly avoid it. The lower limit here would be non-intrusive contextual ads (since they work without tracking), but only so much that a project is financially viable and not more. Given our current economical system it might not be possible to always avoid something like that. However any kind of tracking or abuse (selling) of telemetry data is an absolute no-go.
But I hope stuff like you poll here can get more thinkers and ideas out to improve things for OSS or similar 😊

"When ChatGPT was released at the end of 2022, it caused a panic at all levels of education because it made cheating incredibly easy. Students who were asked to write a history paper or literary analysis could have the tool do it in mere seconds. Some schools banned it while others deployed A.I. detection services, despite concerns about their accuracy.
But, oh, how the tables have turned. Now students are complaining on sites like Rate My Professors about their instructors’ overreliance on A.I. and scrutinizing course materials for words ChatGPT tends to overuse, like “crucial” and “delve.” In addition to calling out hypocrisy, they make a financial argument: They are paying, often quite a lot, to be taught by humans, not an algorithm that they, too, could consult for free.
For their part, professors said they used A.I. chatbots as a tool to provide a better education. Instructors interviewed by The New York Times said chatbots saved time, helped them with overwhelming workloads and served as automated teaching assistants.
Their numbers are growing. In a national survey of more than 1,800 higher-education instructors last year, 18 percent described themselves as frequent users of generative A.I. tools; in a repeat survey this year, that percentage nearly doubled, according to Tyton Partners, the consulting group that conducted the research. The A.I. industry wants to help, and to profit: The start-ups OpenAI and Anthropic recently created enterprise versions of their chatbots designed for universities."
