Iedere dag één oud account verwijderen.

Van boven naar beneden ga ik door mijn wachtwoorden (keepassxc). Wanneer ik een oud account tegenkom log ik in, stel een random naam, adres, wachtwoord in en verwijder daarna het account.

Iedere dag 1 of 2.

Hiermee verklein ik de kans dat mijn persoonsgegevens gedeeld worden met commerciële partijen, of in een datalek terecht komen.

Deplatforming

Longread. Ik ga mijzelf #Deplatformen, dat wil zeggen, ik ga afscheid nemen van de diensten van Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, et al. In dit artikel leg ik uit waarom ik dat doe, welke alternatieven ik gevonden heb en ik hou een hitlist bij met diensten die ik opgeblazen heb. Let's go.

#AI #GenerativeAI #ChatGPT:"While everyone is looking for exciting new uses for generative AI, I personally can’t wait for it to become boring.

Amid early signs that people are starting to lose interest in the technology, companies might find that these sorts of tools are better suited for mundane, low-risk applications than solving humanity’s biggest problems.

Applying AI in, for example, productivity software such as Excel, email, or word processing might not be the sexiest idea, but compared to warfare it’s a relatively low-stakes application, and simple enough to have the potential to actually work as advertised. It could help us do the tedious bits of our jobs faster and better.

Boring AI is unlikely to break as easily and, most important, won’t kill anyone. Hopefully, soon we’ll forget we’re interacting with AI at all. (It wasn’t that long ago when machine translation was an exciting new thing in AI. Now most people don’t even think about its role in powering Google Translate.)

That’s why I’m more confident that organizations like the DoD will find success applying generative AI in administrative and business processes."

Friendly reminder from your local #coffee snob.

Great deal Booking... I can imaging why 80% has opted for this option as saving almost €40k on a rental is wild!

tbh If you paid €360k I would expect that you get a Ferrari (and can keep it after the 4-days rental period 😂 )

If your unintentionally created a profile you don't need/want in Edge (business) with the new profile switching function*.

Here is how you can get rid of it:

- Click the 3 dots (Settings) in the top right corner of Microsoft Edge.
- Click SETTINGS.
- Click PROFILES.
- Click SWITCH on the profile you want to delete.
- Click the three dots right side of the profile name banner.
- Click REMOVE.

* which I do like tbh

I certainly have some thoughts that I will share. Imagine if you could allow an AI agent to create copyrighted works at scale with no human involvement. It would allow for an incredible intellectual property land grab. #AI https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/29/23851126/us-copyright-office-ai-public-comments?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

Vuelta poule zo goed als klaar #Cycling #procycling #vuelta

New TPU inner tires arrived today, best possible timing as my rear tire on my race bike is starting to wear.

Had a nasty puncture on my last ride, so will be swapping the tires for a fresh pair with the new TPU inners.

Looking forward to learn if the new inner tubes will make a difference when riding.

An excellent piece on the dangers of astrology.

It really is the gateway drug to all sorts of unpleasant bullshit.

It's crazy that astrology is still a thing
