La nuova Wikipedia di Musk è terribile

@eticadigitale

dalla newsletter Edamame: maranga9000.substack.com/p/la-…

Elon Musk ha deciso che “la verità” aveva bisogno di un rebranding.

Fin dalle prime ore, molti articoli sono risultati copiati quasi integralmente da Wikipedia, ma privi di quell’ecosistema di revisione comunitaria che permette di correggere errori e bias nel tempo.

Nella voce dedicata a George Floyd, il primo paragrafo non racconta che Floyd è stato ucciso da un agente di polizia, ma si concentra sul suo passato penale, sulle droghe, sui referti tossicologici. Solo dopo, in fondo, viene menzionato l’omicidio.

È un’inversione narrativa potente: sposta l’attenzione dal crimine subito al profilo morale della vittima. Non nega i fatti, ma ne modifica la cornice, suggerendo che forse “non era proprio un innocente”.

It turns out that before running for #NYC Mayor, Andrew Cuomo signed a deal with Quake Media to host his own podcast for $40,000 a month. All podcasts were hidden behind a paywall which users paid money to access. But it all fell apart and Mr. Cuomo was stiffed. (NYT)

I don't feel bad for Cuomo not getting paid. It is not like he was actually working anyway.

Here's an alt-text description for the image:

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a body of water reflecting the surrounding trees and sky. A forest of tall trees lines the water's edge, with their reflections clearly visible in the calm surface. The sky above is a mix of blue and grey clouds, creating a dynamic backdrop. A fallen log lies partially submerged in the water, adding a natural element to the scene. The overall impression is one of tranquility and natural beauty, with the reflection emphasizing the symmetry and balance of the composition. There is no visible text in the image.

I like the two leaning trees, and how the foliage on them is visible in the reflection. Looks so quiet.

As we navigate the digital world around us, it helps to remain curious and question the narratives our “common sense” paths serve, if we are to push change, challenge we need to recognize the responsibility that comes with the digital power. #dotcons push consumerism as propaganda hamishcampbell.com/dotcons-sel…

This bell once formed part of a large set attached to a wooden frame by their dragon handles. Two separate tones could be produced by striking the bell in two different places – in the middle and at an angle on the side. The knobs are decorated with a beast restraining a bird. The meaning of this motif is not clear.

I think Hartmann may be onto something here: hartmannreport.com/p/is-the-al…

When you combine the "algorithm" with the fact that once-trusted news outlets (like CBS) look fair as ever but are rotten behind the facade, it goes a long way toward explaining the anger and polarization that's going on.

Dead Rivers and Vanishing Villages: China’s Rush for Serbia’s Minerals


cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44906060

Archived

[...]

In 2018, Serbia chose the Chinese Zijin Mining Group as its strategic partner, and the mining giant took over 63 per cent of RTB [a Serbian mining company that was formerly 100% state-owned].

[...]

Since 2018, Zijin has taken over the Bor [a city in Serbia] mining complex and invested 2.3 billion euros to expand operations. This enlargement is not just industrial – it is reshaping the landscape and the lives of local communities. Entire families are witnessing their homes, land, and memories vanish as the mine swallows settlements. Meanwhile, the Serbian government has offered no real options for resettlement.

[...]

The environmental consequences of the mining rush are also severe: forests, rivers, and wildlife have been devastated, and residents breathe some of the most polluted air in Europe.

[...]

The Borska Reka River is one of the most polluted waterways in Europe. [...] Sediment analysis has shown high concentrations of copper, arsenic, and nickel, exceeding remediation thresholds, particularly near mining areas. As a result, the Borska Reka is considered a “dead river,” devoid of aquatic life, with severe environmental impacts that extend to the Danube via the Timok.

[...]

The fact that Chinese contractors were responsible for renovating the canopy in Novi Sad’s rail station – which later collapsed, killing 16 people and sparking the largest protests in Serbia’s history – only adds to the complexity of China’s presence in Serbia. In [the cities of] Bor and Majdanpek, this engagement is at the same time both significant and invisible. Thousands of workers brought from China live in isolated camps, rarely interacting with the local population.

[...]

Although Chinese presence is barely visible in the city –Chinese workers live in camps inside the mining complexes, which are inaccessible to the local population – several Chinese-operated betting shops have opened in recent years. These venues signage in Chinese and are intended to attract company managers and senior staff, who are allowed to leave the camps, unlike the regular workers from China.

[...]

While [Serbian] president Aleksandar Vučić’s authoritarian government claims lithium extraction would respect strict environmental norms, the experience of local communities in [the cities of] Bor and Majdanpek tells a different story.

[...]

A report published in January 2024 revealed frequent spikes of sulphur dioxide (SO2) in the Bor area, responsible for both acute and chronic respiratory problems as well as acid rain. The study also detected PM10 fine particles containing heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, nickel, and arsenic. Despite the proven adverse effects of mining, no systematic assessment of public health has been carried out since Zijin took over operations. However, the Batut Institute of Public Health has published a study showing an increased mortality risk for both men and women in Bor across all age groups.

Here's a detailed description of the image:

The image shows a person standing in what appears to be a rustic, possibly outdoor, setting. The person is wearing a patterned, possibly floral, long-sleeved shirt and dark pants. They are positioned near a large, dark cooking pot on a fire. Several stone and wooden objects are scattered around, including some small bowls or cups, and a number of cooking utensils are visible near the pot. The ground is dirt or stone, and the background is partially obscured, suggesting a simple and basic environment. The overall impression is one of a person engaged in cooking or food preparation in a humble setting.

Here's an alt-text description of the image:

The image shows a person sitting on a stacked bed in what appears to be a tent. The person is wearing a long-sleeved blue dress with white detailing on the sleeves and neckline. They are barefoot and holding a small, yellow object in their hand. Several mattresses are stacked behind the person, covered with various patterned blankets and quilts. The backdrop is a cream-colored tent wall.

U.S. agencies back banning top-selling home routers on security grounds


The Commerce Department has proposed barring sales of TP-Link products, citing a national security risk from ties to China, people familiar with the matter said.

I think that, TP-Link aside, consumer broadband routers in general have been a security problem.

  • They are, unlike most devices, directly Internet-connected. That means that they really do need to be maintained more stringently than a lot of devices, because everyone has some level of access to them.
  • People buying them are very value-conscious. Your typical consumer does not want to pay much for their broadband router. Businesses are going to be a lot more willing to put money into their firewall and/or pay for ongoing support. I think that you are going to have a hard time finding a market with consumers willing to pay for ongoing support for their consumer broadband router.
  • Partly because home users are very value-conscious, any such provider of router updates might try to make money by data-mining activity. If users are wary of this, they are going to be even more unlikely to want to accept updates.
  • Home users probably don't have any sort of computer inventory management system, tracking support for and replacing devices that fall out of support.
  • People buying them often are not incredibly able to assess or aware of security implications.
  • They can trivially see all Internet traffic in-and-out. They don't need to ARP-poison caches or anything to try to see what devices on the network are doing.

My impression is that there has been some movement from ISPs away from bring-your-own-device service, just because those ISPs don't want to deal with compromised devices on their network.

in reply to tal

Yes, this really is a situation where ISP managed devices could really be the right option for most -if they weren't such terrible companies.
in reply to Jason2357

That last part says it all, though.

The ISPs are horrible companies, mostly, and that alone warrants that users should be able to have their own router

I need a better router than my ISP wants to give me, then just give me the modem, I'll do the rest

in reply to Phoenixz

I agree, but for the reasons above, it's a terrible outcome for everyone on the internet. The number of people who will keep their router up to date with security patches are abysmal. Fix the ISPs and it would work, but you can't fix the situation where the majority of residential humans suck at managing routers.
in reply to tal

A long time ago, for whatever reason, I decided to do a port scan on my entire WAN subnet. That's how I discovered that a certain brand of DSL modem (I don't recall which) made the admin portal accessible from the WAN. And of course the credentials were admin/admin.

I think most hardware providers do better now but it was just mind boggling to me that it even happened in the first place.

in reply to jubilationtcornpone

Honestly, even limiting it to, say, the WiFi network, having a default admin login is not great.

Like, Android isolates apps from the rest of your Android system, but not from touching the rest of the network. If any random app I install on my phone can reflash my WAP's firmware or something like that, that's not great.

My husband bought an antenna for our TV and he warned me that it kind of looks like a little suction cup dildo and then I finally saw it and was like "Holy shit! You're right! That does look like a little suction cup dildo" and he said "Oh, that? That IS a little suction cup dildo. The antenna is behind the TV."
