Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time
In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, recently met for the first time. The historic encounter took place at a dinner hosted by Sysinternals' creator Mark Russinovich.
This rare moment brought together icons from Linux and Windows, with Microsoft’s Dave Cutler also meeting Torvalds for the first time. As Russinovich humorously noted in a LinkedIn post, “No major kernel decisions were made.” linkedin.com/posts/markrussino…

OpenSource Lizenzen und KI - wie passt das zusammen?

The image is a slide from a presentation, likely about the intersection of Open Source Licenses and AI. The slide is titled "OpenSource Lizenz und KI - wie passt das zusammen?" and is part of a series indicated by "Gulachprogrammiert 23." The main question on the slide is "Wie passt AI-Learning dazu?" with two bullet points: "Namensnennung" and "Share-Alike?" Both bullet points are crossed out with the word "NEIN" in large red letters, indicating a negative response. The slide features a logo in the bottom right corner, which appears to be a stylized fox head, and the name "agresser" is visible in the top left corner. The overall design is simple, with a white background and black text, emphasizing the red "NEIN" annotations.

It may not be apparent, but there is a bias in language to male things; there are more words to describe things from a male point of view.
For example, is there a male equivalent of bitch?
Men are rarely described as abrasive. Whereas women struggle to describe our worries and woes in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
We still live in an uneven society.
To the barricades, girls!

This headline by ABC News is one of the most biased bullshit headlines I've ever seen.
The article doesn't even start to mention the timber industry until halfway down and does a piss-poor job of explaining the tenuous connection. (It's that the timber industry was responsible for collecting seeds to use for reseeding after fires and, now that they're not doing that anymore, someone else has to and the scientist mentioned in the article says that the current contracts for seeds aren't enough)

in reply to Martin Wiesemann • • •Das Video zeigt eine Nistbox aus Holz, in der mehrere junge Vögel mit offenen Schnäbeln sitzen, die auf Nahrung warten. Die Vögel sind in verschiedenen Stadien der Entwicklung, mit flauschigem Gefieder und offenen Schnäbeln, die auf ihre Abhängigkeit von der Ernährung durch die Eltern hinweisen. Ein erwachsener Vogel, wahrscheinlich die Mutter, ist sichtbar und bringt Nahrung zu den Nestlingen. Sie legt die Nahrung in die Schnäbel der Vögel, was ein typisches Verhalten während der Brutzeit ist. Die Nistbox ist mit Gras und anderen Nistmaterialien ausgelegt, und das Licht scheint von außen herein, was die Szene beleuchtet. Der Text "blink" ist im oberen linken Bereich des Bildes sichtbar, was möglicherweise auf die Marke des Kamerasystems hinweist. Die Szene ist ruhig und fokussiert auf die Interaktion zwischen den Elternvögeln und ihren Nestlingen, die ein natürlicher und zärtlicher Moment der Brutzeit darstellt.
