Nu rapporterar även SVT om forskningen om att socmed kan göras mindre splittrande. Mastodon och Bluesky nämns som alternativ

"För första gången har forskare lyckats visa att bara ordningen på flödet i våra sociala medier räcker för att öka den politiska splittringen i samhället. Men det finns en ljusglimt.

– Det är ingen naturlag att sociala medier måste splittra oss – och det finns alternativ, säger digitala experten Carl Heath på Rise."

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is.

The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.

@GrapheneOS it's interesting to see in this discussion how wildly different meanings different people assign to the words "security" and "privacy".

When you say that an iPhone is good for security and privacy, that sounds completely crazy to me. Let me explain why.

An iPhone user is completely owned by Apple. An iPhone user therefore has no privacy, and also no security. An iPhone user does not even attempt to achieve privacy or security.

Do you see what I mean?

I Godmorgon världen i morse kritiserade jag och Henrik Jalalian hårt de marknadsmisslyckanden - nittiotalets avregleringar - som orsakar vanvettet både på elmarknaden och skolmarknaden.

@hund embrace the darkness!

I think it's nice to stay still in the dark, turn off all your flashlights or whetever you have and just let it be dark, then stand there for a while and observe your surroundings. Just be in it.

I think "expansionism" is kind of a weak word for it. Better call it fascism.

I did not really know @panoramax before today.

"Panoramax is a digital resource for sharing and using field photos. Anyone can take photographs of places visible from public roads and contribute them to the Panoramax database. This data is then freely accessible and reusable by all."

#OnThisDay, 28 Nov 1967, Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovers the existence of pulsars.

Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

@eighthave so that's what it's about! I always wondered what it is that everyone is so thankful for. It makes sense.

All is not lost. Today I had a class of master students in human geography that readily accepted and appreciated they cannot use genAI and that realized the value of topical encyclopedias hitherto unknown to them with positive surprise and thankfulness.

I just noticed: after starting my little link "blog" or collection back on June 1st, as of today it has now grown to 150+ links! 🔗

My reason for starting it was two-fold: I thought some folks could be interested in following along with what I read (that's why you can also subscribe via #rss). But, it's also a really useful archive for myself!

Humanity really needed librarians to own Internet Search, not venture capitalists.

@okias I guess the CoC thing puts power into somebody's hands, and that power can be used in good ways but it can also be abused. Having a CoC and trying to enforce it can be good, but it can also be bad, depending on how it's done.

Anyway, I guess part of this had to do with that when we say something, what really matters is not what we meant but how it lands on the receiving side. Like with the pronnounds thing, you may not care but it could matter much more to the person you talk to.
