I am now on BLUESKY!

I am not leaving Mastodon, but will be posting on both sites now. I have a lot of archives that I can post on Bluesky that I have already posted here, but there will surely be a lot of redundancy.

If you are on Bluesky and wish to follow me there, too, please do so.

I'm on the fence about BlueSky. What tipped the balance for you?
@dedicto It's just gaining in popularity.

One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B.J. Novak is on sale today for $2 from your preferred ebook store. I read it about a decade ago, and just realized I recall very little of it. This happens to me with short story collections because they tend to run together in my head.

Regardless, I do remember enjoying most of the stories. Maybe I'll give it a re-read. #Bookstodon #Fiction #ShortStories @bookstodon

While it is impossible to say with certainty if this photo is Ai or not,
I have circled some subtle clues that may help you make your decision.

@Wen Can you help visually impaired people understand the joke? I’ve run a few scans on the photo and it says there are feet on the tray. OK, that’s weird, but my AI says that other highlighted areas are light fittings and a person sitting in the background. It claims there is nothing unusual about any of them. Given the oddity of the feet, I’m curious about the other aspects. Thanks.

@RabBrucesSpider1 I think the point is that for many visually able people, their attention is diverted, momentarily by the marks highlighting normal things and miss the feet for a while
Rab Bruce’s Spider mastodon (AP)
@Wen Ah, thanks. I get that, and it’s a clever distraction. In my case, though, my scan picked up the feet first, then confused me by mentioning all the other things in the background. It makes a nice change for the AI to be less easily fooled than the human eye.

@RabBrucesSpider1 It worked for me for 60 seconds or so - my eye was as drawn to the ‘hints’

@Wen @RabBrucesSpider1
Exactly so. Took me several seconds to actually look!

@Fragarach @RabBrucesSpider1 I have seen that before - it is very good!
Rab Bruce’s Spider mastodon (AP)
@Wen @Fragarach A bit wasted on me, although I do recall hearing something about it some time ago.
Wen mastodon (AP)
@RabBrucesSpider1 @Fragarach It is a great example of how the senses can be fooled. Most people I know who have looked at it have ended up rewatching because they did not believe they could have been fooled.

L’OTAN à Montréal : émeute anti-imperieliste


#Vidéo, #Manif : https://contre-attaque.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/can-2.mp4

Vendredi 22 novembre, la colère a embrasé les rues de Montréal, au Canada. Lors de la venue d’une délégation de l’OTAN dans la ville, une manifestation pour la Palestine et contre l’impérialisme a défilé en fin d’après-midi....

In the early years of Christianity, popes were personally chosen by St Peter.


That stopped when he got confused in his announcement and made a jar of preserved aubergine pope.

What? Peter poper picked a pack of purpled pickle? A pack of purpled pickle Peter poper picked.

Die Debatte um die Kanzlerkandidatur will die SPD-Führung hinter sich lassen. Doch auf ihrem Bundeskongress rechnen die Jusos noch mal mit der Parteispitze ab.

It's not fair...

Solene'% : Why I stopped using OpenBSD

steeznson lemmy (AP)
I find the authors concerns about security to be at odds with their enthusiasm for flatpak and systemd. Personally I don't think containerised applications get as much attention from package maintainers or security audits. Systemd is also expanding into every area of the OS including recently offering a sudo alternative which is basically creating one massive attack surface.

Even if you're rightfully concerned, they become non-issues in the author's platform of choice: Qubes OS.

The reason (I think) they mentioned all of those explicitly Linux things, is because they've also stopped using OpenBSD VMs in Qubes OS.

I've been expecting something like this since the XZ hack, but still ... frustrated/annoyed/sad to see Microsoft and 13 (!) partners jointly announcing that their answer is to “educate” open source maintainers.

It's nice that they're compensating maintainers for the time spent on that training, but ... compliance with corporate security policies is still a whole lot of ongoing, unpaid work after that? Sigh.

tante hometown (AP)

This is a good PR thing for Microsoft/GitHub on first glance but the more you look at the details the more it becomes clear that this is a simple solution that doesn't fit the issues that dominate the domain. Sure you can give Open Source maintainers access to GitHub people and GitHub Copilot but who are you helping? Worst case is more open source projects having to deal with the extra work of double checking and fixing the generated code.

I moved all my projects off of GitHub when the "AI" craze started.

I'm not alone.



In this searing investigative report on #Bluesky, @davetroy asks how are the users flocking there safe from EXACTLY THE SAME THING that happened at Twitter/X?

https://america2.news/without-sky-social-media-and-the-end-of-reality/

"Notably, Musk has not made any mention of Bluesky and the exodus of some 20 million people from X. In the past, he has railed against Threads and Substack. This time... crickets. It's as if he has a plan in mind to use Bluesky to his advantage. Perhaps he intends to buy it. We don't know. Plan accordingly."

Yeah I signed up for BS, but notroot.online ain't going nowhere. I run it on a server I already had.

I wonder how long before there's another migration to the Fediverse... this time from Bluesky.
