A glimpse into our future when packs of #sheeple guided by #AI gone wrong to stupid things en masse: "Google Maps misleads Californians into the desert during dust storm"

Danke #Falter, alle soll wissen dass die Nazis Autos Vorrang in die Stadt gegeben haben:

Doch der technologische Fortschritt und die nationalsozialistische Ideologie gaben den Autos Vorrang. Die Straßenverkehrsordnung von 1938 machte das „Kraftfahrzeug“ zum „Volksfahrzeug“, „der Langsame“ habe auf „den Schnelleren“ Rücksicht zu nehmen: „Im Straßenverkehr gehen die Bedürfnisse des motorisierten Schnellverkehrs den Bedürfnissen der Fußgänger vor.“

@jcaleitao thanks, great to know it is still supported! Thanks for running it.

@jcaleitao #FDroid has been trying to use your #IPFS gateway, but it does not seem to be working. https://ipfs.joaoleitao.org/ipfs/bafybeifx7yeb55armcsxwwitkymga5xf53dxiarykms3ygqic223w5sk3m returns "502 Bad Gateway" but that CID works on other gateways. Are you still maintaining your gateway? Are there restrictions on what it will host? f-droid.org is all free open source software apps, so should be uncontroversial.

@calyxos @LineageOS I can get these Motorola devices in Austria for 120€-150€, that is really affordable for a trusted phone!

@xoagray@meow.social @eff @avon_deer There are more and more options, some are even easy to switch to:

* #Jitsi hosted by an org you trust beats all the other video calls
* #Nextcloud #Syncthing etc for cloud services
* #NewPipe #ViMusic #RadioDroid for music and media
* #LineageOS #CalyxOS etc with #MicroG and #FDroid
* #Signal for messaging

I have a teapot made by a ceramics company called Emma Bridgewater, so I searched if it was dishwasher safe. No 2 on the list is this #AI #LLM generated piece of trash: https://dishwashermanuals.com/is-emma-bridgewater-dishwasher-safe/

It includes this heading that only an LLM would generate: "Are Emma Bridgewater mugs, dishwashers, and microwaves safe?" Oops, it mixed up who is doing what to who. I think it is pretty clear that this AI wave is a repeat of #cryptocurrency: 99% of use cases make our world much worse.

@Bubu @uniqx The key rotation is the hack to provide something like Perfect Forward Secrecy. It is not a requirement though, a web server could run with a static #ECH key and all would work just fine.

It seems like the #EU #DigitalMarketsAct is already having an effect on #GooglePlay: now that they might actually have some real competition, they seem to be ramping up efforts to clean up their app store:

I've been getting a flood of #spam from #UK companies, but the kind where they are actual companies, not weird phishing things. They seem to provide proper unsubscribe links. Did the UK changes it laws recently to hold spamming companies less accountable? What happened?
