Svar: Nej.

Kristersson går till historien som en vindflöjel som egentligen inte gjorde någonting, som aldrig agerade utan i bästa fall bata reagerade.

Jag kan inte erinra mig om en statsminister som varit så handfallen, konflikträdd och rent ut sagt menlös.

This weekend I'm planning to make my self hosted #snac live and hopefully I don't unintentionally DDoS my own fibre connection. It's running in a #Bastille jail on my #FreeBSD server Beastie. I still have some customisation to do with CSS for the theme but I'm just interested to see how much load this'll put on my FTTP 1G / 110Mb connection. If all goes well I may well migrate permanently to my own hosted #ActivityPub server ? 🤔 #HomeLab

@tdforg #TDF will coordinate #DocumentFreedomDay2025 and we, @fps_gbg, will contribute with a #DocumentLiberation workshop. BTW In case you did not know #DocumentLiberationProject is a sister project of @libreoffice . Busy in Luxembourg preparing #LibOCon and #CommunityDay, so more will follow.

@mntmn @servo Great! I was searching for info on running #servo on a #Librem5. Did anybody manage to do this? How was the performance and experience?

hey i compiled @servo on the RK3588 MNT Reform (arm64) and it works! our website is usable, but missing the svg logo in the top bar :D

Finally 100 accounts following me on my #photography @pixelfed account https://pixel.kushaldas.photography/kushal @kushal@pixel.kushaldas.photography #streetphotography #fediverse

If possible please follow and share that account :)

Ännu en bra ledare om Chat Control

#ChatControl

@AliceStollmeyer Very good way of putting it. "too large a risk for our digital resilience" is a phrase that might actually be heard and understood by non-experts (like politicians) . Kudos to the dutch government-nerds! :)

@bert_hubert

Update: Netherlands' Intelligence agency advises:

#ChatControl is “too large a security risk for our digital resilience.”

Dumb question, but if Electron is basically Chrome, with I assume some stuff deleted…. How hard would it be take Electron and make a de-googled browser again?

6 October 1938 | An Italian Jewish boy, Carlo Polacco, was born in Genoa.

In December 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Blown away by the finalists in #WikiLovesEarth. Being a jury member is really just a treat. #WLE

Det här är ju extremt! Hur kan vi ha ett samhälle där ett sådant här förslag läggs fram utan att det blir ramaskri?

Att konstant massövervaka och skanna den breda allmänheten är helt absurt. Sluta kom med sådana här förslag!

It's not just that I think LLMs and so-called "generative" AI produce unreliable, erroneous, or even dangerous output. It's not just that it uses energy at rates that are screwing with decarbonization efforts and could ruin any chance we have at fighting climate change. It's not just that it is always based on uncompensated appropriation (i.e. "theft") of human creativity and is basically a plagiarism laundering machine.

It's that when someone uses AI, I assume they know these things, but don't care.

I understand that there are valid use cases for AI, but I don't believe the current LLM tech is good enough even without the big downsides. But there's a new Gold Rush and all the tech investors want to make some fortunes, so they will push this crap on everyone until we are all lost in a fog of bullshit explanations and creepy, homogenized art.

If I see a post that uses AI generated art, I won't read the post. If someone posts something "from ChatGPT" I will ignore it entirely. If it wasn't worth your time to write it, it's not worth my time to read it, and I won't willingly participate in the rise of such a dangerous, wasteful, and unethical technology.

Hello @EUCommission,

Can we get a #Mastodon share button at the ECI site?

I mean, the page you get after signing an European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), e.g. this one:
