Haha, how fitting: After reading headlines about #Google users fleeing the AI slop summaries fed to them, I wanted to get a feeling of https://google.com how bad it is, but well... only to be presented with a CAPTCHA.

So glad I am able to afford to pay for great search results that just work @kagihq . However, great search shouldn't become a privilege.

Nun ist es offiziell: Der #Steinitzsteg, eine der wichtigsten Donauquerungen soll von #ASFINAG und der Wiener Landesregierung jahrelang für den Fuß- und Radverkehr gesperrt und dieser zunehmend in das Radwege-Flickwerk gezwungen werden. Hinter den üblichen Zahlenspielen versteckt die zuständige #SPÖ: Es ist wichtiger, dass Autofahrende nicht auf Öffis umsteigen müssen, als dass Fußgänger*innen und Radfahrer*innen ohne kilometerlange Umwege vorankommen. 1/x

Our incredible #Austrian #quantumcomputing spin-off from @uniinnsbruck, ParityQC, recently was able to demonstrate a 52-qubit Fourier transform using their ParityTwine method. This incredible work was now featured on the IBM Quantum blog: https://www.ibm.com/quantum/blog/qft-benchmark

For all who want to go straight to the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.12465

New demonstration of a 52-qubit quantum Fourier transform shows how ecosystem innovation improves algorithm performance on quantum hardware.

So Anthropic's Mythos was simply a PR stunt.

Surprise.

Die 🇦🇹 Datenschutzbehörde DSB wird von der Regierung weiter gelähmt: 2024 gab es bei 3.813 Beschwerden nur 62 Strafen. Jetzt drohen noch mehr Kürzungen. Gemeinsam mit @noybeu bringen wir Beschwerde bei der EU-Kommission ein – für echten #Datenschutz statt Rechte nur auf Papier.

#GitHub is sinking

Whatever #Microsoft acquires, turns bad over time.

My newest #FOSS projects all go to #codeberg.

I'm still uncertain if moving GitHub projects to Codeberg has more advantages than disadvantages such as broken links, ... 🤔
