Die BW möchte wissen über wie viel Kanonfutter, Panzerfutter verfügt. Also brav abmelden beim Verlassen des Landes.

I don't understand why people feel the need to say you should separate the scientist or artist or creator's work from their opinions, like, even if you believe that, does it make sense to defend a racist or transphobe right now, in this moment? What will you gain here?

Has anyone ever been like, "yeah totally. I was just pointing out that they're transphobic, but it's ok, because I like wizard books anyway too. Thanks for educating me on the concept of nuance. I'm a simple minded thing and hadn't considered that I can just ignore morality if it makes me feel good."

Heavy drama in the open-source world of...

...Office Document Software.

Nextcloud, originally a fork of ownCloud, has launched Euro-Office, a fork of OnlyOffice (pissing off OnlyOffice). Collabora is weighing in and issuing comments against both OnlyOffice and Euro-Office while, itself, forking Collabora Office Desktop from the Document Foundation's LibreOffice. Document Foundation has now resumed LibreOffice Online which competes against Euro-Office and OnlyOffice.

(I think I've got all that right 😅 Correct me if I haven't! 😂)

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I unironically love this!!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Document software may appear boring on its face, but Microsoft Office is a big reason why folks still stay with Microsoft OS and don't (can't...) move to Linux. MS Office 365 is often used as a bridge to allow folks to move to Linux while still using Microsoft products in the browser but that solution still keeps them tied to closed source solutions.

Development of Free and Open Sourced Software (FOSS) office products, both desktop apps and online web apps, is a core and key element to allowing FOSS solutions to thrive - both for individuals and organizations.

This level of drama and fighting is indicative of a lot of effort and attention being thrown into this arena. I'm confident over time it'll settle and different projects will merge back together or at the very least borrow and build upon each's efforts.

Using AI is giving the means of production to the rich another time. And if you now want to argue, if it helps you in any way, it's giving the means of production to the rich; if it's not helping you, you shouldn't use it in the first place.

Don't be a strikebreaker! Don't help the rich! Show solidarity with your fellows! You don't need to be “more productive”! Especially if this doesn't mean you have to work much less for the same money.

Rise up! 💪 

Die Situation hinter mir und vor mir.

Your reminder that sex work is work. There are many reasons someone may do sex work, and all sex workers deserve safety and respect. Yes this account is pro sex work. No, there won't be any debate about it.

What so-called "AI" is not and will never be:
- ethical
- explainable
- safe
- democratic
- good
- in the public interest
- transformative
- emancipatory

edit: + feminist + sustainable + reasoning + sentient + open-source + accountable + for the people + liberatory

Please add to the list, I am sure I have forgotten some of the "feel-good" labels.

I am so fed up with people who insist on their illusions, who insist on [fill in] "AI" while refusing to talk about how "AI" works and its impact.
