»Piratenpartei präsentiert Konzept zur datensparsamen Altersprüfung:
Die Piratenpartei hat beim @w3c einen Vorschlag zur Altersverifikation im #Internet gemacht. Das Verfahren soll #Datenschutz freundlich sein und die Altersprüfung findet #dezentral und #lokal auf dem Gerät des #User's statt.«

Da bin ich mal gespannt ob es angenommen und dann aber auch weltweit populär umgesetzt wird, was die @ppsde nun entworfen hat.

Why artificial intelligence is not intelligent at all and is only called that for marketing reasons.

Admittedly, today's AI models not only consume a lot of electricity but also deliver results that surprised me, but also absurd errors that are trivialized as hallucinations. One fact that is often overlooked, partly due to good marketing, is that today's AI models are based on calculated probabilities. The AI does not really understand what it is doing, it only calculates probabilities. Admittedly, it often does this very well until a “hallucination” occurs. This means that AI can only reflect human knowledge, human perspective and human bias and racism. Everything is based on human training data and the AI calculates with which probability the human user would like to have which knowledge. Wouldn't you expect much more from real intelligence? I just wonder how people can attribute intelligence to this well-calculating machine? There are people who even fall in love with today's AI models or see them as real artificial life. Fueled by marketing that promises us a real super intelligence in the near future in order to get even more venture capital to maintain the whole hoax, which devours vast sums of money in data centers and electricity. Another more serious problem in my view is that today's AI models are destroying the jobs that we need to continue creating good training material for AIs. Today's AIs can easily replace graphic designers, translators, authors, musicians and poets. As a result, the internet is already flooded with AI-generated content. This will eventually become the new training data, which will further reduce so-called intelligence. How a superintelligence will ever emerge from this is a mystery to me.

I had a crash that took down Firefox, so when I restarted it it was the newest version (an update I'd installed, but hadn't restarted after).

I just went looking through the settings pages, which is a habit I've unfortunately had to get into because #Firefox and #Mozilla keep adding new anti-user fuckery in their continuing quest to drive users away from the only product they make that anyone gives two shits about.

And lo and behold, *this* is the new fuckery I found. Enabled by default. And it reinforces the need to go *check* for this bullshit every version update.

Firefox, if you had asked me how to cut my already diminishing trust in you to do the right thing by your users to near zero, I wouldn't have even dreamed this batshittery up. It's so much worse than I would have suggested. I have *all* the crap turned off - silently adding new crap and silently defaulting it to on is 1995-era Microsoft-screwing-the-users.

You feel you need to add this shit? Fine. But show me a dialog asking me whether I want it on or not when that version first starts. Don't turn it on behind my back and HOPE I DON'T NOTICE.

#qscamp25 #qscamp zum 9. Mal in #Hamburg bei oose. Die #Software #Testing #User #Group #HH hatte zum „Klassentreffen“ der #Tester.innen #Szene geladen. Es war #inspirierend, dass wir #qualitätsbewussten auch mal so nebenbei #Lösungen skizzieren können, anderen bei Herausforderungen unterstützen können, weil viele Wissensträger.innen zusammen in lockerer Atmosphäre eben viel Beitrag leisten können. Das 10. Barcamp 2026… es wird kommen und ich freue mich auf den Austausch schon heute! #community ist kein Buzzword! Wir leben sie!

Comment et pourquoi créer son #repo #ArchLinux personnel, en local ou sur son serveur personnel (vous devez disposer d’un nom de domaine personnel) , un peu comme pour #AUR - #ArchLinux #User #Repositorty.

En #français.. ( pour une fois..)

Tout Et Rien · Créer son propre dépôt de paquets ArchlinuxDepuis peu j'ai créé mon propre dépôt de paquets précompilés pour Archlinux. J'ai appris à le faire via des articles de blogs anglais, mais je n'ai pas trouvé grand-chose en français qui se fasse via un script pratique, ni qui prenne en compte la sécurité. Du coup voici mon petit article/tutoriel pour le faire. Pourquoi ? La première chose que me demandent les personnes à qui j'en parle c'est « à quoi ça sert ? ». Vous voyez, sous Archlinux il existe 2 grandes catégories de dépôts : Les dépôts de paquets officiels (core, extra, multilib et leurs versions -testing) : Ce sont des dépôts …

@MichalBryxi @SecurityWriter @MastodonEngineering I agree to an extent.

It's sad that #Xandros on the original #EeePC seems to be peak #Linux #Desktop when it comes to #TechIlliterates...

  • And that needs to be changed…
