Mastodon, a decentralized, open source social media platform and alternative to centralized social media apps like X and Threads, announced on Wednesday its plans to make its platform more approachable for newcomers while also targeting creators with the launch of new features. The changes […]

RE: https://phpc.social/@preinheimer/116081169786071628 It's gonna be super fun to see the "market" react to AI companies introducing "surge pricing" for compute: Oh, you need to get this project done till Friday and all your staff is just vibecoding? Token price is now 5 times the normal amount.

At this point, the level of stupidity and recklessness in the Hungarian government is just mind-blowing.

Esto es lo que @Mastodon dice qué van a hacer próximamente: - Ampliar la gobernanza. Están acabando un modelo para que todes nos sintamos consultades e informades sobre el desarrollo. - Asegurar que cumplen regulación europea (esto es aburrido y quizá conlleve decisiones polémicas, pero parece […]

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@SocketSecurity/116081626227956573 Again: it should be illegal for an LLM automaton to refer to to itself as "I" and not reveal its owner. It should also be illegal for one to act without supervision on the Internet, never mind anywhere else in the wild.

Hoy he visto una publicación de una campaña de WWF donde se mostraban un puñado de imágenes generadas por inteligencia artificial con un mensaje: "The hidden cost", el coste oculto. En las imágenes se ve un puñado de cacao en polvo del que emerge la cara de un gorila; un café con leche cuya […]

Estudiando historia contemporánea se me ocurre que idealizar el futuro es tan importante para la izquierda como idealizar el pasado lo es para la derecha. Y que la capacidad movilizadora de izquierda o derecha dependen de mucho qué sea posible idealizar en cada momento. Actualmente vivimos en […]

Las autoridades rusas están redoblando las restricciones al uso de Telegram en el país (me pregunto si Durov ha mandado un indignado mensaje al móvil de Vladímir Vladimiróvich). El problema, claro, es que la plataforma es la base de muchas comunicaciones en el frente de la guerra de Ucrania […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/116045913018556966 I understand where they are coming from but that is way too much of a technological framing. Even an encrypted open source Internet can be super unsafe to exist in. Safety comes from social and political structures and decisions that […]

"Qué hemos hecho mal con esta generación?" (leo en un foro de mi uni) ¿Pero quien eres tú para arrogarte la culpa por todo lo que pasa? ¿Es responsabilidad de unos pocos universitarios de pueblo que el mundo se haga muy facha? Hay que actuar, claro que sí, pero no desde esa soberbia.

¿El presidente del gobierno se ha salido ya de esas redes tóxicas que quiere prohibir a los menores de 16 o va a seguir por allí para que quien quiera estar al día de sus comunicados tenga que regalarle sus datos personales a la corporación de turno?

Una take que quiero expresar sobre una posible prohibición de las redes sociales privativas a los menores de 16 años es que eso hace mucho daño en las cuentas de resultados de las empresas, y eso está bien. Pensemos con más ambición: ¿prohibir las redes sociales privativas para mayores de 16 años?

Most people are worried about climate change - but most don't hear or talk about regularly. That's why I started my free newsletter Talking Climate. Every week I share good news, not so good news, and what people can do. If you aren't a reader yet, see below. I have 6 different ways to subscribe!

I like to think that my main contribution to comics will be the idea that you can come up with an excellent premise for a sci fi series, and then completely throw it away for a stupid punchline.

"In 2025 alone, EU-based software projects on GitHub received millions of contributions from abroad. So what makes Open Source European is not a passport or a border, what makes it European is that it is used in Europe and trusted in Europe." "Open Source is not a fortress, it is a bridge, and […]

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com
