The libxml2 maintainer is basically shrugging his shoulders and saying "deal with your own fucking security issues; libxml was never meant to be used in your projects" to google and the rest of the giant corporations that are using his labor without contributing back. I'm totally on board with […]

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill? It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid […]

Dear #GitHub, when I click on a link to an English language documentation page, I don't want to be automatically redirected to a machine generated German translation. Yes, I have both enabled in my browser. Multi-lingual people are a thing. If I want a translation, I'll explicitly ask for it […]

"AI bots that scrape the internet for training data are hammering the servers of libraries, archives, museums, and galleries, and are in some cases knocking their collections offline" #AI is ruining our digital world (Original title: AI Scraping Bots Are Breaking Open Libraries, Archives, and […]

Im #Ressourcenfluch - Staat #SaudiArabien, unserem treuen Verbündeten & #Erdöl - Lieferanten, wurde gerade wieder 1 #Journalist & #Blogger hingerichtet. Ich bleibe dabei: Öl & #Erdgas sind fossile #Gewaltenergien, der #Solarpunk und die #Energiewende die besten Wege zu #Freiheit, Menschenrecht […]

Sag mir dass du ein Diktator bist ohne es zu sagen... MILITÄRPARADE zu deinem GEBURTSTAG

@RikerGoogling Dear Riker, my mastodon decided to show captain Sulu with your toots. Is there some temporal anomaly going on? The phenomen was only very short. All timelines have realigned again. @georgetakei

thinking about why AI slop has such a ... "characteristic" feeling to it, and coming to the conclusion that the aggressively-synthetic _average_ is something that falls into the uncanny valley

40 Jahre Schengen - aber nicht mehr in Deutschland, dem sterbenden Land im Zentrum des Schengenraums, das an seinem dieselmotorischen bürgerlichen Wohlstandsnazimief und dessen arischem Abgrenzungsbedürfnis schön langsam zugrunde geht. Wer Schengen feiern will, muss auf die andere Seite der […]

The biggest scandal in AI energy usage right now deserves to be the xAI data center running on 35 methane gas turbines that don't need air permits because they are "temporary" and don't have catalytic reduction pollution controls installed because... they just didn't bother? […]

Updating talk slides so you all get to be horrified along with me at the current Starlink numbers. There are now 7,652 Starlink satellites in orbit (>500 more than there were in February, when I last updated these particular slides). 2-3 Starlinks per day are burning up in the atmosphere […]
