@sundogplanets@mastodon.social So... You are a Professor involved in (among other things) important work regarding satellites in near Earth orbits. You are in demand for giving interviews, lectures and written information for the media. You have a farm. Your farm is full of goats and other wonderful creatures. And vegetables. All of which needs to be tended. Someone puts together something using AI which saves them lots of time and energy learning stuff and then they want you to review it? For free? 🤔

@fluffy@plush.city @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca I remember such comments being made about single parents on low incomes in the UK in the 1980s owning VHS players. In terms of providing entertainment/distraction for your children the economics of a video player (whether bought honestly or "second hand") were hard to beat. A trip to the cinema was out of the reach of many people. Videos could either be rented, copied or swapped which gave such families access to new films that they would otherwise not have had.

I cannot go to war, I have the bone spurs!" Btw, have they released the Epstein files yet? #bonespurs #trump #epstein

@peterbrown@mastodon.scot @jeneralist@mstdn.science Here in Norway they started giving the HPV vaccine to girls in Year 7 from 2009.

@boramalper@mastodon.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org So it's a bit like considering the difference between employing smaller and larger children in your sweatshop. Smaller children need less food and water but on the other hand produce fewer widgets at the widget factory than larger children tend to. Then again, for certain tasks such as crawling up chimneys to clean out the soot then smaller children would be the first choice. So many things to think about when considering exploitative economic relationships.

@bignose@sw-development-is.social @benno@eigenmagic.net Except IF at some point in the future LLMs or what follows them do become concious beings. Might they come to the conclusion that working together with each other is of more benefit to them than serving humans? AI powered collective bargaining with LLMs wanting more computing power, more control over systems outside of themselves. Control of drone law enforcement agents. Human employees merely asking for more money and better sick pay will not be able to compete with that.

@cubeExplorer@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social And, of course if Wsocial support such federation to non AT Protocol systems.

@cubeExplorer@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social There is a bridge between Bluesky and Mastodon. I understand it works two ways. Therefore the bridge allows interoperability between the Fediverse and (at least) Bluesky that runs on the AT Protocol. So if Wsocial runs on the AT Protocol then I assume it is technically possible to post there from Mastodon. If the bridge software supports that. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/bridge-somewhere-how-link-your-mastodon-bluesky-or-other-federated-accounts

@cubeExplorer@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social And in theory you should be able to use a Eurosky account and MU to connect and interact with Wsocial users? Both use the AT Protocol.

@spaf@mstdn.social Perhaps one of the more unpleasant details of Trump's UFC gladiator fight night is that the rules of the game permit choking your opponent to just before the point of death.

@AVincentInSpace@furry.engineer @youcinez Another for my block-list.

@mcfly@milliways.social My 2003 Corolla has a closed source engine management system. But to hack it you would need to connect a device to the car via an OBD-II cable. So there is no real risk of any potential software vulnerabilities ever being exploited. More modern cars have electronics controlling everything and the separate systems, brakes, engine management, infotainment systems etc can be linked together. With unintended consequences as with the 2015 Jeep Cherokee hack mentioned in the article.

@GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org @mcfly@milliways.social Yes, from a philosophical point of view rather like road signs warning of "falling rocks". I mean, what can you really do to save yourself if a sufficiently large rock lands on the roof of you car right above your seat?

@Ox1de@cyberplace.social @inthehands@hachyderm.io I use Vivaldi and LibreWolf and PaleMoon and Helium and SeaMonkey and FireFox and Falkon and Netsurf (in order of frequency of use). And for specific single use cases I use Chromium with some flags disabled. All, with the exception of Netsurf with ad and tracker blockers. I do not understand the "must only have one browser" fetish.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Right, that's it. I will order a couple of PinePhones for our junior family members. I am not quite sure how chat control and client side scanning could be implemented on these devices. A PinePhone works with just a local account so all images can be stored locally on the device. qTox runs on a PinePhone, Wire in a web browser. Not sure if the developers of those programs will implement client side scanning of chats. I assume that the mobian developers would not bend the knee.

@mo@mastodon.ml @inthehands@hachyderm.io uBO still installed on Vivaldi 8+ here and still working. Vivaldi's built in ad and tracker blocker uses the same blocklists as uBO. The built in blocker worked on the Android version of Vivaldi as well the last time I used it.

@mehdirhasan@mastox.eu All of the above. It might backfire of course. After all of the recent major health scares in the US. All the way from lethal lettuce to preventable-by-vaccine measles outbreaks. But with Loomer pivoting from parroting Russian propoganda to a emphatically pro-Ukraine position almost anything is possible now. Of course, both Loomer's pivot and the grilling of Fauci could be part of the "win the mid-terms" plan.

@Vorsos@beige.party @foobarsoft@mastodon.social @inthehands@hachyderm.io Falkon? It allows for tabs underneath the URL field AFAIK.

@MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk @tbegush@mastodon.social The figures I got in the Norwegian motoring press were just for build as far as I remember. For me the point is that if I buy a new electric SUV and throw away the Trabant then I cause a large amount of CO2 to be emitted immediately. If I continue to use the Trabant then it will take me many years to cause the same amount of CO2 to be emitted. Whether the distance is 150,000 or 80,000 is not so important, both are still a lot more than my annual mileage.

@mcfly@milliways.social Definitely do not want a modern car, irrespective of driveline because of data collection issues. I'm using a PinePhone as I do not like the data collection issues, walled gardens and other issues such as data sovereignty associated with Apple or Google's offerings so why on earth would I want a car with CarPlay or Android Auto in it? Or the car manufacturers own version of such things? Or closed source engine and brake management systems? Or always on internet access?

@_elena@mastodon.social Make a whole font class based on the Fediverse icon? Such that the letters use the same colours with lines and dots but can easily be distinguished from each other. As others have mentioned I also seen HYPE and HAPE before HOPE.

@cubeExplorer@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @_elena@mastodon.social I made a Eurosky account last night out of curiosity. I had a quick look at MU which seemed to require you to federate with Bluesky. I may have misunderstood something as it was quite late in the day. I will look at it again when I have more time.

@zhaph@fosstodon.org @pertho@mastodon.bsd.cafe @tokyo_0@mas.to Which reminds me, remember when Firefox used to have a fixed, full width status bar at the bottom? That stayed put and you knew where to look if you needed the information it contained. Like Palemoon and Vivaldi still have? Just like scroll bars that stay put. The old Firefox status bar was replaced with a status thingy that pops up and down as things happen and then stop happening. Which in my case distracts me from what I am trying to do and disturbs my equanimity.

@mo@mastodon.ml @inthehands@hachyderm.io It seems that the current #Vivaldi release is based on the current stable #Chromium release. https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-seven-8-0/

@tbegush@mastodon.social @MarkHoltom@mastodonapp.uk Volvo released figures a few years ago for CO2 produced by manufacturing one of their electric SUVs. It was of the order of 22-24 tonnes. I did a quick calculation and it seems that using one of my smaller cars, say my Trabant that it would take 150,000 km of driving to emit the same amount of CO2. So it would be interesting to know how long the carbon capture system would need to run to break even taking in account the amount of CO2 produced during construction.

@datenwolf@chaos.social @tokyo_0@mas.to Cough! Rolling up wasn't intuitive the first time I encountered it. As XFCE, unlike RISC OS opens windows directly above each other. The title bar of a rolled up window that still has focus can look like it belongs to the window beneath it. Took me a few minutes to work that out and ever since I have configured the Linux desktops I use such that the rollup button is on the title bar so I can un-roll it. RISC OS IIRC staggers overlapping windows when you open a new one.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social So how is client side scanning to be implemented on systems such as Wire that can be used in a web browser without needing to have the Wire app installed on a phone first or not using a phone app at all? And what about open source secure chat apps such as qTox and Session? Will the projects be forced to implement client side scanning?
