Drew KadelMy daughter, who has had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this observation about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen:
Landeshauptstadt MainzLiebe Community, ihr habt uns überzeugt: Die Stadt Mainz bleibt auf Mastodon. Für die vielen, konstruktiven Reaktionen vielen Dank! Offen gesagt: Wir haben nicht damit gerechnet. Denn wir hatten in den letzten Jahren hier wenig Resonanz erfahren. Daher wollten wir uns auf die Plattformen konzentrieren, auf denen wir zigmal mehr Follower und Reaktionen haben. Ihr macht uns jetzt Mut, dass Mastodon lebt. Lasst uns hier geMAINZam austauschen: lebendig, vielfältig, solidarisch. 🙂
Tom ForsythRecent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
Aurin (ki, ki, kis)Tech people talk about tech too much.
I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to.
And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers.
It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense.
For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry.
I am so lost, every single time.
I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does.
I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps.
My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things. (examples in thread)
Frau NoraEs ist doch einigermaßen erstaunlich, wie ein komplett haltloser Vorwurf eines angeblichen Plagiats den Ruf und die Karriere einer Richterin bedroht, während ein ehemaliger Gesundheitsminister, der Milliarden versenkt, völlig unbeschädigt weitermacht, obwohl es Belege und heftigen Widerstand gibt.

Dave RahardjaAre you still on #Spotify?
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.
And don’t forget:
• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).
And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.
Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

“Spotify’s CEO invests $1 billion into an AI military start-up — and musicians are fuming”

Wolfgang LuchtImagine a publishing house with the mission of making knowledge and insights available to everybody for free, while ensuring high standards.
Well, the three universities of Berlin and the Charité have now joined forces to do just that.
They founded "Berlin Universities Publishing". Neither authors not readers pay. The pdf of books are freely available under a Creative Commons licence.
It's called "Diamond Open Access". They're just starting up. Much more to come.
