In line with the Amsterdam bike store with an empty showcase selling “pre-stolen bicycles”, future AI for vibe-coding will be creating pre-enshittified code.
How long will it take before vibe-coding can only generate software that traces its users and generates advertising-revenue not for the creator but for the owner of the AI company? #ai #autonomy #enshittification
Software freedom is important. If I have to pay to develop software, or use a service owned by someone else, my freedom is limited.

This is the web we're fighting for.

Een nieuw rapport van het KNMI laat de waarde van satellietmetingen zien voor het stikstofdebat. Satellieten meten onafhankelijk van modellen en grondwaarnemingen. En ze bevestigen dat de stikstofuitstoot enorm is. NO2 door verkeer en industrie. Ammoniak (NH3) door de landbouw - in het linkerplaatje zie je de invloed van de vee-industrie oplichten rond de gebieden waar de meeste dieren gehouden worden.

Stikstof is een ecologisch probleem, geen juridisch probleem!

How long will it take before the first companies who have #fired employees to replace them with cheaper #AI will go bankrupt because the prices are doubled annually for those who can no longer do without nor switch providers because they’re dug in too deeply? #autonomy #sovereignty #dependent #monopoly
I think the main reason why Europeans no longer want to travel to the USA is the big time difference. For me, it's now 7pm. In the USA it's now 1933.
Zojuist een bericht gezien dat op de Universiteit Utrecht een kwartiermaker digitale autonomie is gestart. En zij heeft net Linux op haar werklaptop geïnstalleerd gekregen. Mooi!

Yes. This. But further…

We should all stop *believing* in anything!

If you 'believe' something, even if it's true, you can just as easily un-believe and believe something else.

I don't believe in democracy. Churchill said it's the worst form of government except for all the others. I accept that analysis, therefore I am 'in favour' of democracy

The scientific evidence points to climate change. I accept the #science, therefore I 'acknowledge' climate change
