Sul gruppo di Telegram è stato segnalato questo tool, per ora gratuito anche se si vuole usare un proprio dominio personale, per la creazione e la gestione di siti web: soloist.ai/
Mozilla sembra parecchio interessata a entrare "nel mondo delle AI" e ci sta provando in diversi modi, anche questo infatti utilizza la cosiddetta intelligenza artificiale (anche se non ho capito quale) ma la privacy policy non sembra male a una prima occhiata.
La cosa che più mi preoccupa di questi tool generalmente è il rischio di "lock-in".
Why is there no label on the vertical axis. Are we talking days, seperate vacation periods (of different length) or percentage of days in a year? ~~Oh there's weeks in the title. Still a bad graph.~~
What does School_Vacations and Work_Vacations actually mean?
I was trying to have a working ai prompt to generate this via svg but they're still so stupid . Countries should have been colored according to the numbers in percentage

Few topics in cycling inspire as much controversy as helmets. Some people insist they’re essential, calling non-wearers reckless and invoking harsh and violent imagery: “enjoy your traumatic brain injury”. “You’ll regret it when you’re in a hospital with a feeding tube”. You hear suggestions of denying access to public healthcare. On the opposite end, helmet skeptics argue that they’re a distraction. I’ve actually heard people call them “magic hats” that “don’t offer significant protection (if any at all)”. Helmets dehumanize cyclists and send the wrong message. They’re dorky and uncool, rather than fashionable and European.
So what’s the truth about helmets?

And millions of Americans think the reason we don't have all the things we don't have that everybody else has, is cuz we have Freedom! and everybody else is oppressed. How did so many people get so brainwashed?
It sounds to me that lemmy is full of Canadians, right? 😎 What is the percentage, 50% from Canada (or Canada' fans at least), 30% from the US and 20% from Europe?
I’m slightly unsure whether the average U-lock is actually safer than a heavy-duty chain. If the chain is thick enough, you’d need massive bolt cutters or an angle grinder - and with a chain, cutting with angle grinder is trickier. You usually need someone holding the link with pliers while you cut, and you have to cut both sides to get through it.
With many U-locks, you only need to cut one side for it to fall off, and it’s much easier to keep steady while grinding.
I generally agree with you except nowadays there are "grinder resisting" u-locks that are very expensive, bit also effective. As usual it's not like they are indestructible, but its just just a matter of more time and effort to get throught them
Here in this video there is one example, but it's easy to find others:
Personally I use an heavy duty chain, I don't care much about weight (I already load my city bike with lot of stuff) and I can secure relatively quickly a around the frame. But if I had a more expensive bike I would probably use one of those fancy U-lock

This guy in Pisa, Italy, has planted 4 trees in a public space and by speaking to nearby people he agreed with some of them to provide water during summer time. Moreover he repaired a public drinking fountain that the administration closed (to avoid repairing), also to help provide water needed for nearby plants.

Ieri sera, in risposta al taglio di 2 giovani alberi (un melo e un melograno) da parte della manutenzione, abbiamo piantato 4 nuovi alberi (2 meli e 2 nespoli) in Piazzale degli Scali a #Pisa. Proprio quelli che sono stati salvati il #PrimoMaggio dai rifiuti del discount locale. 🌳
Interazioni molto positive con abitanti del quartiere, che si sono avvicinati curiosi e hanno promesso di dar da bere durante i mesi caldi. Qualcuno mi stava anche cercando «Tu sei quello che pianta gli alberi?» 😁
Thanks to a clear and defined strategy, the car number has decreased by 34% since 2017, and the number of cyclists has increased by 70%. In a city where the transit is really excellent.
These are the results that you get when you build quality infrastructure, as already seen in Paris
A Londra molte più persone in bici che in auto durante il giorno
Grazie ad un strategia chiara e definita, a #Londra, dal 2017 il numero auto è diminuito del 34%, e il numero di ciclisti è aumentato del 70%. In una città in cui il #trasportoPubblico è davvero eccellente.
Questi sono i risultati che si ottengono quando si realizza l'infrastruttura fatta bene, come già visto a #Parigi.
#BeppeSala, vuoi diminuire il numero di auto a #Milano? Ecco come fare
If so, I have to say I don't trust AI generated data. I've tried on and off since 2022 with different models to see how it does with questions and data specific to my field of expertise and it just makes up stuff and is often wrong, and can't produce evidence / references that hold any ground.
I'm just saying this to hopefully courage you to search for reliable and better sources for your data. I hope to see more maps from you then! 😀

Those who defend strategies, practices, and rituals in an identitarian way even if they don't lead to concrete impact are part of the problem, regardless of the seniority of the traditions and identities they embody. Losing for decades, martyring oneself for nothing, having moral superiority should not be a source of authority on how politics should be conducted, because it does not generate competence on how to achieve political victories.

[S]pontaneism must be fought in every way possible. First in its most obvious form, that is, the idea that if there is a widespread complaint in society, sooner or later this will lead to action which in turn will lead to change. Second, in its more insidious form, that is, the idea that understanding a political phenomenon, a problem, or an issue, is enough to achieve a solution.
-
Nothing is too “right-wing.” Nothing is “a thing for capitalists.” The end justifies the means. To be ineffective is a form of privilege. Being picky when choosing allies, being maximalists, and being purists is the luxury of those who engage in politics because of their beliefs rather than out of necessity.

Or they'll try to use AI only. But these things are not intelligent and won't be able to produce satisfying results but since everyone is following that hype rn they'll probably spend a billion before they figure that out...
Of course, if moderation gets worse than it already is, either way, the platforms will evtl. be banned from many other countries, notably the EU.
The pressure to review thousands of horrific videos each day – beheadings, child abuse, torture – takes a devastating toll on our mental health
What could be a solution for dealing with that? I wouldn't want to be exposed to that type of content even if I was paid to do so and had access to health support to deal with the aftermath every time.
On paper, it's one of the uses for AI image recognition. It could reduce the amount that needs human review drastically.
In reality, Youtube's partially automated system (to my knowledge the most robust one around) regularly flags highly stylized videogame violence as if it is real gore. It also has some very dumb workarounds like simply putting the violence more than 30 seconds into the video (which has concerning implications for its ability at filtering real gore).
Whilst automated tools can help on this, there is a heckton of human labour to be done in training those tools, or in reviewing moderation decisions that require a human's eye. I think that in a world where we can't eradicate that need, the least we can do is ensure that people are paid well, in non-exploitative conditions, with additional support to cope.
Actually securing these things in a way that's more than just lipservice is part of that battle— I remember a harrowing article a while back about content moderators in Kenya, working for Sama, which was contracted to work for Facebook. There were so many layers of exploitation in that situation that it made me sick. If the "mental health support" you have access to is an on-site therapist who guilt trips you into going back to work asap, and you're so hurried and stressed that you don't have time to even take a breather after seeing something rough — conditions like that are going to cause a disproportionate amount of preventable human harm.
Even if we can't solve this problem entirely, there's so much needless harm being done, and that's part of what this fight is about now.
employ people that aren't as bothered by it and pay them well. Presumably pedophiles would be more willing to moderate CSAM and people with psychopathy more willing to moderate torture and abuse. and as long as there is no paper trail of intentionally hiring these people I don't know that it would be illegal.
