How do I report a ban evader?


It otherwise could be said to not concern me, but there is one who has been banned before who keeps coming back in different incarnations for the sole purpose of targeting/smearing me (I should emphasize the word "smear" considering the admins from other places who saw the pointers saying it was smear but then right after saw the smear and thought "oh look, it's trying to tell us something" like there's not only an issue with due process but also focus).

Part of the AI con is that we're all paying to make the tech bro billionaires richer. Particularly the poorest parts of society are paying the most. And our beautiful environment, being destroyed for bottomless tech bro greed.

'It is not AI that scares me, it is us': Psychologist Charan Ranganath

"What are we sacrificing at the altar of convenience? Expression? Originality? Thoughtfulness? If our minds begin to mirror the predictive models of autocomplete or become passive consumers of pre-packaged prompts, what happens to creativity, empathy, and critical thinking?"

So sad to be alive today and watch so many humans behave in such a base, cruel and devouring way, addicted to convenience.

The image features a cat nestled comfortably in a cozy, beige-colored cat tree. The cat has a distinctive coat pattern with a mix of black, brown, and white fur. Its face is predominantly white with a black patch over one eye and brown patches around the other. The cat's eyes are a striking green, and it has a pink nose. Its whiskers are long and white, adding to its expressive features. The cat's front paw is visible, resting on the soft, textured surface of the cat tree. The cat appears relaxed and is looking directly at the camera, creating a sense of connection with the viewer. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the cat as the main subject of the image.

When mike@flipboard.social interviewed @chrismessina on the Dot Social podcast;

dot-social.simplecast.com/epis…

... they briefly criticised "hashtag stuffing". OK, guilty as charged.

But on the fediverse, hashtags are what we use for discovery instead of serendipity generators ("The Algorithms"). Along with community timelines, and now keyword searches, they are ways to browse the pool of posts your server has from everyone someone follows.

in reply to Strypey

You can "hashtag stuff" a post in a non-twattish way as long as you donate brain cells when considering which ones to add.

The crime is when people just add tags to try to game the system or garner unearned attention. They create the collective action problem.

The tech industry bends over backwards to apologize for AI's absolutely massive failings. You simply can't trust AI. It is a super dodgy liar with that sickly tech bro positive toxicity fake it till you make it way. In essence, AI is what the tech industry sees when it looks in the mirror.

West Losing Propaganda War.

How #US \ #NATO in the era of neoliberalism, sold war as a consumer product.
From the bombing of #Yugoslavia and the invasion of #Iraq, to ​​#Syria and the heroization of the Nazis of #Kiev, Western society swallows without judgment every lie that the corrupt media peddles to it.
Their narrative is full of cracks, and the elites know it. And they are scared. Scared of the change that will come once they can't control the truth anymore.

Animated Widgets On Apple Devices via a Neat Backdoor


If you’ve ever looked at widgets on your iPhone, you’ve probably noticed they’re largely static, save for a few first-party apps. By and large, third party developers are not supposed to be able to animate them. However, [Bryce Bostwick] found a workaround.

You might be confused as to the idea of animated widgets, but it’s quite simple. For example, think of a clock app with a widget in which the hands always display the current time, or a calendar app with an icon that shows the current date. Apple’s own apps have long been able to do this, but the functionality has mostly been locked out for third parties.

One way to get around this limitation is by using a timer feature baked into the widget functionality. The timer tool is one of the few ways that third-party apps are allowed to do animation. By running a timer with a custom font, you can display various graphical elements instead of numbers counting down to create a hacky animation that updates every second.

However, there are even more advanced techniques that can get you faster, smoother animations. [Bryce] breaks down the private techniques used to rotate the clock hands on Apple’s own widget, and how to use those tools for your own purposes. It takes some sneaky Xcode tricks and a bit of math to make it fully flexible for doing arbitrary animations, but it works surprisingly well.

Will this backdoor last ? Well, Apple is always updating and changing iOS and its associated software, so don’t expect it to work forever.

"I was watching a movie the other week and this guy really looked like Lin-Manuel Miranda (creator of the musical Hamilton), so I Googled whether he had any brothers. The AI overview informed me that "Yes, Lin-Manuel Miranda has two younger brothers named Sebastián and Francisco." For a few minutes I thought I was a genius at recognising people… until a little bit of further research showed that Sebastián and Francisco are actually Miranda’s two children."

First of all, everybody should had ditched google as search engine too long ago, yet, despite the clamorous evidence that google had abandon search engineering in favor of ad serving it is still the main search option for a vast mayority, and part of the problem with AI is that you can't fight it without fighting all those tech giants, and part of that battle is to stop using their services.
