Decentralization means a media outlet can run their own social media server and nobody can stop them from going viral. No matter what inconvenient news they publish. The only barrier to this is the people you know staying on the other platforms. Until that changes, shitty govts and big tech/media assholes and advertisers will dominate what most of us know about and focus on. And that will determine elections and so much of what happens IRL. #SocialWeb #DemocracyOfReach

D'accordo?

detto da uno così è tutto dire. Come si dice? Predicare bene ma razzolare male, anzi, da schifo. Tranquilli, la facciata basta e avanza visto questo genere di articoli.

#meta is not alone in facing delays, however. OpenAI’s next major model, GPT-5, has also been postponed, with the company instead rolling out an intermediate version called GPT-4.5. Anthropic has likewise delayed the release of Claude 3.5 Opus, a larger and more powerful #ai model, though it said the release is imminent.

Die europäische Bürger*inneninitiative für ein Verbot von Konversionsmaßnahmen in der Europäischen Union kann nur noch ein paar Stunden mitgezeichnet werden.

Ich fand die Authentifizierung easy-peasy mit freigeschaltetem Online-Ausweis-Chip beim Perso und der AusweisApp auf dem Mobiltelefon. Geht aber auch old school ohne App und Chip. Hauptsache bitte unterschreiben! ✍️

Und danke an @scy
für die Erinnerung!

@scy


Die EU-Bürgeriniative gegen #Konversionstherapie (also "Heilverfahren" gegen LGBTQs) endet heute, 16.5., nacht, um 23:59:59 Uhr MESZ. Sie hat schon das Länderquorum erfüllt, braucht aber noch genug Unterstützende insgesamt. Egal aus welchem (EU-)Land.

Mainstream-abweichende Gender-Identitäten sind keine Krankheit und brauchen keine "Heilung".

we wake up on time in this house (no)
in reply to Jesse

The image displays a digital alarm clock interface with a dark theme. At the top, there are navigation options labeled "World," "Alarms," "Stopwatch," and "Timer." Below these options, a list of alarms is shown, each with a "wake up" label followed by a time in 24-hour format. The times range from 06:20 to 06:30, with each alarm set for weekdays. Each alarm has a red toggle switch, indicating it is active, and an "X" button for deletion. The alarm for 06:26 is highlighted with a red box, drawing attention to it. The background is dark, and the text and icons are white, providing a high contrast for readability.
