Bots just officially outnumbered humans on the internet for the first time ever. Cloudflare’s latest report shows AI and agentic traffic has grown so fast its now the majority of online traffic. We crossed a line and most people didn’t even notice 😳 https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic#bot-vs-human

Dead internet theory is now becoming a reality

< “Wikipedia non esisterà più. Si deteriorerà rapidamente”, ha riferito un portavoce dei lavoratori, “se anche solo una massa critica di volontari smetterà di lavorare sarà un disastro”. Nei mesi precedenti, lo staff di Wikimedia aveva annunciato l'intenzione di sindacalizzarsi, alcuni hanno ipotizzato che la fondazione stesse licenziando il personale coinvolto nell’attività sindacale. > @opensource

Europe removes 603 river barriers, setting a record for the fifth year running. Sweden led with 173 removals, while Iceland and North Macedonia joined the movement for the first time. Overall, Europe reconnected more than 3,740 km of rivers last year, but with 1.2 million barriers still fragmenting Europe’s waters, there’s still so much more to be done.

The enclosure of the FOSS commons may seem like a programmer-specific problem, but it really affects everyone. Privacy-preserving apps like Signal, for example, serve a purpose precisely because they're open and can be audited. Take away that ability to verify the developer's claims by parsing the code, and all guarantees are lost. The more that AI vendors succeed in locking in the FOSS commons, the less transparency we'll have into what our software actually does.

@broadwaybabyto "B-b-b-but what if someone who doesn't deserve it gets it??"

Okay, wanna talk about things being taken by people who don't deserve it? Got a big list, you'll definitely know some of them and every one of them are wealthy.

"Oh but they earned it, these welfare cheats are scamming us all and living better than I do with my money!"

No, they didn't earn it, you just chose to give them the benefit of the doubt because you don't question that amount of money. They are the real cheats, the biggest recipients of government money, pay the least in and the real reason you live so poorly.

Maybe the rich people with their decadence on your dime are simply people you envy while the poor are people you'd loathe to be given how you treat them.

They literally want to kill personal computing forever.

And replace it with “agents” that they run and make you addicted to and you have to rent from them.

They’re spelling it out what their plans are.

The amount of propaganda bots trying to sign up lately is bonkers. The fediverse feels like it’s becoming a battleground for information warfare. Be safe out there
