@doctormo @dalias @conservancy 👀 indeed.

The rest is not so bad tbf.

@dalias @conservancy kinda stopped reading after

“There are many intersecting ethical and moral issues regarding these systems, many of which are not currently fully understood.”

They are well understood and visible.

@thomasfuchs @gjmwoods How is that stuff so much nicer than what we have today?

@thomasfuchs Oxygene that old?!

And hell no.

@gjmwoods ^^ right up your alley

@Gargron you created something nice. This is the correct nice step. Good for the community, hopefully good for you. Way better than what other founders did, ultimately ending up so often in forks, feuds and anger.

Und der Ober-Masken-Dealer Spahn darf seine hässliche Visage in die Tagesschau halten und was zum Stadtbild schwatzen. Großartig. 🤮

> “Often times fewer lines of code is way better than more lines of code,” he observed. “So I'm never really sure why that's the exciting metric that people like to brag about.”

I think that person is onto something here…

#AI #TheSoundOfABubblePopping

Ob sich die Redakteur:innen der @tagesschau mittlerweile nicht dumm fühlen, Meldungen über #Trump zu veröffentlich und quasi nur seine Posts von #truthsocial zu übersetzen und dabei noch die Anzahl der Ausrufungszeichen zu übernehmen?

@armin @GreenSkyOverMe oh I mean why iOS doesn’t let me configure a custom url. Probably they didn’t find the right prompt or so to program it.

@GreenSkyOverMe you can pick predefined ones as required by law but you can’t configure them, like adding a custom argument to the search URL

Now, something I wanted to tackle for a while. I like #Apple #Safari a lot. Don’t want to switch browsers. However, they don’t let you customise search engines on #iOS. And I that #AI infested google is just terrible.

One way to turn it of is ?udm=14 as search arg or using -ki.

This extension https://apps.apple.com/de/app/customize-search-engine/id6445840140 is #OpenSource

https://github.com/Cizzuk/CSE

and does exactly what I want and has even the #Google #Konami code predefined

Ich werde auch dieses mal wieder #DieLinke wählen. Jetzt erst recht ohne diese schrille Person an der Spitze.

Was nutzt es, wenn die Grünen am Ende vom Tag rechtskonservative Politik als Juniorpartner mit der CDU machen?

Und nein, ich halte die Stimme nicht für verschwendet, ohne eine linke Partei im Bundestag wird es noch düsterer.

@glynmoody @wikipedia @LawmanLungis that idiot worked better on me than the freaking banner they have for years, I can tell you.

I have to say that my attitude changed from kinda forgiving that people still post to Twitter to "are they nuts?" no kinda of attention, regardless whether they perceive that as conversation between 'friends' or just as 'moar clicks' is worth keeping that shithole alive

@whitequark the best thing that popped out in a while.

The readme alone is much better than many commercial projects

Thanks to #OSS I discovered #Komoot|s #Python package for creating static map images https://github.com/komoot/staticmap (Cheers @moonglum ) by reading the sources of the fitness tracking app #FitTrackee https://github.com/SamR1/FitTrackee

@mutinyc Oh that's a great analogy as well…

I went with the over the top coffee today because I got angry over reading some generated stuff https://mastodon.social/@rotnroll666/111453441654331082
