#Today 30

Good day!

I’ve lived in Montana for 11yrs & never saw a rabbit here. This summer, I’ve seen 4.

This one, who’d taken a wrong turn in Albuquerque, hopped onto the road, zigged & zagged for a ways, before finally crossing the road & disappearing to the left.

Be everwell.

wattlewong [grey currawong, ssp S. v. plumbea] (details)

there were so many grey currawongs that morning at the weir. i saw them and heard them calling from every direction the whole time i was there.

most recordings of grey currawong calls are for subspecies that are not found in western australia, and those other subspecies sound completely different to our “leaden crow-shrikes”. these two are the only recordings i’ve found for our subspecies, S. v. plumbea, and only the former was what i heard.

notice the clarity of each note as it falls off, and now imagine how eerie several concurrent currawongs would sound echoing through a valley.

Watching an ABC episode of Australian Story about Priya and Nades, and the girls.

Some lovely and wonderful people from the town of Biloela. Smart people at that. They achieved so much, against all the odds. Just beautiful people.

Also remembering what an absolute dirt bag Peter Dutton proved himself to be. So much needless pain and harm to this family, for year and years.

I know there's precious little difference between the ALP and LNP sometimes, but on this occasion there is a world of difference. The bar for decency is pretty low in Australia.

The image features a small, white kitten with brown and black patches on its head, sitting on a tree stump. The kitten is curiously sniffing a small white flower with green leaves. The background includes a brick wall with some greenery, including a large leafy plant. The tree stump is covered with soil and small pieces of wood, and the kitten's fur is fluffy and soft. The kitten's eyes are dark, and it appears to be in a natural outdoor setting.

Government Accountability Office (GAO) warns of privacy risks in using facial recognition in rental housing

Property technology broadly refers to the use of software, digital platforms, and other digital tools used in the housing market. Property owners and renters use these technologies for functions including advertising, touring, leasing, and financial management of rental housing. These tools may incorporate computer algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Selected Property Technology Tools Used in Rental Housing

Property technology tools used for advertising, tenant screening, rent-setting, and facial recognition have both benefits and risks. For example, facial recognition technology can enhance safety, according to three industry associations and all 10 of the public housing agencies in GAO's review. However, these tools also may pose risks related to transparency, discriminatory outcomes, and privacy. For instance, potential renters may struggle to understand, and owners to explain, the basis for screening decisions made by algorithms. Facial recognition systems also might misidentify individuals from certain demographic groups, and property owners might use surveillance information without renter consent, according to advocacy groups GAO interviewed.

The four federal agencies took several actions to address these risks. To combat alleged misleading and discriminatory advertising on rental platforms, agencies pursued legal action and obtained settlements requiring changes to advertising practices and improved compliance with the Fair Housing Act. They also took enforcement actions against tenant screening companies for using inaccurate or outdated data.

However, all 10 public housing agencies stated public housing agencies would benefit from additional direction on use of facial recognition technology. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) current guidance to these agencies is high-level and does not provide specific direction on key operational issues, such as managing privacy risks or sharing data with law enforcement. More detailed written direction could provide public housing agencies additional clarity on the use of facial recognition technology and better address tenant privacy concerns.

Next year marks ten years since the referendum that led to Brexit... while many warn that re-opening those debates will merely give the Brexiters more ammunition to stoke up their Far Right campaigns around other issues, there is a certain logic given that after ten years we are such more aware of the costs & benefits (so-called) of leaving, that a second referendum would allow a better judging of the best options now available?

Stati Uniti contro Europa: il caso del Digital Services Act

L’America non accetta che l’Europa stabilisca regole che possano ridurre i margini di profitto delle proprie aziende leader. E reagisce con strumenti che vanno oltre il dibattito giuridico: minacce di dazi, pressioni diplomatiche, ora addirittura restrizioni sui visti. È l’uso della leva politica e diplomatica per difendere interessi economici nazionali

Depressing to see reports not being acted on 😞

It seems to come down to shareholders wanting to see numbers on spreadsheets heading in certain directions.

Do the shareholders care how meaningful those numbers are? Or do they just want the numbers to keep heading that way regardless of how accurate they are?

The current system of corporations pandering to shareholders seems to be ever more disconnected from the real world.

Das Video zeigt eine nächtliche Szene in Berlin, Deutschland, bei der eine Gruppe von Radfahrern an einem Critical Mass-Event teilnimmt. Es beginnt mit einer Ansicht von zwei Radfahrern, einer von ihnen in einem auffälligen roten Reflektorenweste, die auf einem beleuchteten Kreuzungsweg warten. Die Textüberlagerung "Critical Mass Berlin 29.8.2025" gibt den Namen und das Datum des Events an. Die Umgebung ist dunkel, mit Straßenlaternen und Autoscheinwerfern, die die Szene beleuchten. Die Radfahrer warten auf den grünen Ampel, und als sie sich in Bewegung setzen, fahren sie in einer dichten Gruppe durch die Straßen, umgeben von anderen Radfahrern und Fahrzeugen. Die Szene ist belebt und dynamisch, mit vielen Radfahrern, die ihre Lichter anhaben, um die Sichtbarkeit zu erhöhen. Polizeifahrzeuge mit blauen Lichtern sind ebenfalls zu sehen, was auf eine gut organisierte Veranstaltung hinweist. Die Gruppe fährt durch die Straßen, und die Lichter der Radfahrer und der Autos schaffen ein lebhaftes und energiegeladenes Bild. Die Szene zeigt die Radfahrer in verschiedenen Positionen, einige im Vordergrund, andere im Hintergrund, und die Gruppe bewegt sich in einer organisierten Formation.

The video features a serene and heartwarming interaction between a light gray and white cat and a small, light brown hamster. The scene is set on a gray surface, possibly a table or countertop, with a dark-colored elevator door in the background, suggesting an indoor setting. The cat is lying down, attentively observing the hamster, which is nibbling on a piece of green lettuce. The cat's posture is relaxed, with its front paws gently resting on the surface, and it maintains a calm demeanor throughout the video.

As the video progresses, the cat's behavior becomes more affectionate. It begins to nuzzle and gently paw at the hamster, displaying a tender and caring interaction. The hamster remains calm and undisturbed by the cat's actions, continuing to nibble on the lettuce. The video captures the gentle and peaceful moment between the two animals, highlighting their bond and the cat's nurturing behavior.

The video concludes with the cat still lying down, gently nuzzling and pawing at the hamster, which remains calm and content. The piece of lettuce is still present on the surface, and the background remains consistent with the dark-colored elevator door. The overall atmosphere of the video is calm and affectionate, showcasing a touching moment of interspecies friendship.

TechCrunch: Mastodon says it doesn’t ‘have the means’ to comply with age verification laws. “Decentralized social network Mastodon says it can’t comply with Mississippi’s age verification law — the same law that saw rival Bluesky pull out of the state — because it doesn’t have the means to do so.”

There is a trend of lawlessness in the Netherlands where good laws are created, but the organizations enforcing them lack funds, manpower and the will to be effective... on purpose.

The story below is one of many: a piece of forest is illegally cleared and the enforcing organizations are condoning it, even when citizens ask for enforcement. Similarly many companies dump toxic waste with expired permits, polluting the environment.

Was haltet ihr von folgendem Titel für einen 30 Min Workshop mit Priestern, Pastoral- und Gemeindereferenten?

"Digitalisierung & christlicher Glaube – Wir nutzen und gestalten digitale Räume mit Nächstenliebe und Verantwortung"

Inhaltliche soll es um Hintergründe zu digitaler Nachhaltigkeit, - Souveränität und Datenschutz gehen, die dann mit praktischen Nutzungsbeispielen verbunden werden, wie bspw. OpenDocument-Formate, Nextcloud, HumHub und natürlich Mastodon.
