Thomas E. GladwinHaving started my most recent "maths I'm not smart enough for" book, I hypothesize that the proportion of words like "clearly", "obviously" or "evident" would be inversely related to any objective measure of the didactic quality of the book.

LizBoykott, Webseitenbetreiber anschreiben - Ich lese viele Gedanken zum dreist-monopolistischen QR Code #reCAPTCHA von #Google.
De facto verhindert Google damit den unabhängigen, uneingeschränkten Zugang zum freien Internet.
Mein Weg geht deshalb über die #Bundesnetzagentur als staatliche Aufsichtsbehörde.
Und ich kann alle nur dazu aufrufen, dort ebenfalls Druck zu machen:

Kein Google, kein Internet:
Das ist mir vor einigen Tagen auch passiert.
Ein #reCAPTCHA, das nur mit QR Code bestätigt werden kann.
Der Klopper ist:
der Code lässt sich ausschließlich mit einer #Google App aufrufen, die Play Dienste erfordert.
Hat man wie ich ein Custom Rom ohne Play Dienste, wirst Du komplett daran gehindert, die Webseite zu öffnen.
Was zur Hölle? Das ist Erpressung!

As someone who has been programming since being a young teenager, things like this make me enormously sad. If I was banned from being part of tech communities until the age of 16 or even 18 I would've never been able to learn all I did. I would've never been able to truly get into FOSS. I would've never had a chance to become who I now am. Age verification is literally killing the ability for kids and teens to excitedly participate and learn cool stuff and learn how to have digital agency.
N-gated Hacker News🤣 Oh, the #irony of a billion-token context article that can't even get past Cloudflare's formidable gatekeeping! 🚪✨ If only getting past "malformed data" was as easy as dreaming about infinite GPT horizons. 🌌🔍

AstraeaI’ve spent a month here, and it's time to be honest: a lot of the "anti-AI" movement uses the exact same playbook as the far-right. It's less about supporting human artists and more about gatekeeping and witch hunts. 
Wrote a full post about the hypocrisy of this crusade and how it hurts actual indie creators.

Gokul DasThis was what I got for an edutainment video. What's in it that can't be shown to more than a sixth of the world's population?
Let's be real. This isn't the creator. It's the #multimedia #cabal who decided it should be this way, and the #socialmedia platforms that enable it.
As a layperson, can you imagine the societal damage caused by this sort of deliberate content #gatekeeping by the #parasite class? Here's a clue - we're never the winners.
Choose better, people!
