@Em0nM4stodon In the US, we need to fight against KOSA, which is advancing in our legislature.

The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone

This bill won’t bother big tech. Large companies will be able to manage this regulation, which is why Apple and X have agreed to support it. In fact, X helped negotiate the text of the last version of this bill we saw. Meanwhile, those companies’ smaller competitors will be left scrambling to comply. Under KOSA, a small platform hosting mental health discussion boards will be just as vulnerable as Meta or TikTok—but much less able to defend itself.

The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone

Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online. KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.

How Google Maps is shaping where we eat.
Josh Toussaint-Strauss discovers that great restaurants are disappearing on Google Maps, despite having lots of reviews and high ratings, so he sets out to get to the bottom of it and finds out that what Google Maps shows us isn't necessarily what we want to see

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

just had to fire my psychiatrist before we even really got started.

found out he misgendered me during a call with my psychologist. when she corrected him, he didn't apologize. he got defensive and said he "never talked about pronouns" with me, like that somehow makes it ok?? also, I clearly stated to him during our first appointment that I am a trans woman, and have gender dysphoria.

that's not a miscommunication. thats a provider who isn't safe for trans patients. and im not gonna spend my limited energy educating someone who should already know better.

finding affirming mental healthcare is hard enough. we shouldn't also have to fight just to be seen correctly by the people that are supposed to help us.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?

server is running! that extra ram certainly gave it a lot of room to breathe and be comfortable.

after enabling hardware transcoding in jellyfin, I am finally able to stream 4k content and omg, it is day and night difference. the transcoding in the new GPU is blazing fast!

this upgrade was totally worth it!

alright. since I am using my home server more seriously, it desperately needed a ram upgrade. the original 8GB (2x4) are falling short...

also, I originally got the computer with a gtx560ti GPU, which linux kernel 6.5x (or so) no longer supports. given that I am running jellyfin, that means i haven't been able to use hardware transcoding.

that ends today.

i just finished installing 32GB (4x8) RAM, and a RTX4060 GPU. bear in mind that the mobo is Sandy Bridge based, so there's a limit on which hardware I am able to use, yet for a home server it should get the job done.

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/
Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester

A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI.
