It is once again time to give the entire world jetlag so that we can save [checks notes] candles? That can't be right, can it?

Non seulement le ministÚre de la Culture et des Communications ignore notre solution, mais il encourage les GAFAMs en mettant bien en évidence leurs logos sur le site officiel du Gouvernement du Québec et en incitant les québécois à utiliser leurs plateformes.

C’est de la promotion pure et simple. Le ministùre nourrit l’ogre qui appauvrit notre culture.

Quand je vois mon ministre de la #Culture dire que Radio-Canada sur Prime ne fait « Aucun sens. Est-ce le modĂšle d’accĂšs Ă  notre culture que nous dĂ©sirons? Passer par une plateforme amĂ©ricaine plutĂŽt que par une plateforme de chez nous? », et qu’il choisit de publier ce message sur X, ça me scie en deux. 😑

The stupidity and corruption of Pete Hegseth knows no bounds. In the latest instance, the AI company Anthropic says it doesn't want its products to have full autonomy to guide weapons since it doesn't think the software is reliable enough.

Hegseth is threatening to terminate Anthropic's contract because of this stance. He wants a product known to be unreliable to control weapons.

I just published a video of the new "end to end encryption" protocol for ActivityPub in #Emissary. The UX is rougher than I'd like, but you can see the client app is coming along nicely.

Today, it sends and receives messages using MLS, a widely used industry standard and successor to the Signal protocol.

By June 2026, it should be ready for you.

Among the many things Doctorow gets wrong in That Post is this:

"It's not 'unethical' to scrape the web in order to create and analyze data-sets. That's just 'a search engine.'"

Apart from the fact that AI companies are particularly malicious in the way they scrape the web, I'd say we accept search engine scraping mostly on the premise that it's done for the benefit of the scraped sites. There's no such principle of mutual benefit in AI scraping — the AI company gets the value of the data scraped and you get bupkis at best, and possibly DDoS'd
