Well, now also in English: As far as I know, @heiseonline is now the first media organization with it's own instance on #Peertube to share #videos directly in the #Fediverse. The first channel to look out for is @ct_3003, but there are more to come. I hope, we're only the beginning, so let's […]

"AI companies claim their tools couldn't exist without training on copyrighted material. It turns out, they could — it's just really hard. To prove it, AI researchers trained a new model that's less powerful but much more ethical. That's because the LLM's dataset uses only public domain and […]

It’s so exciting that the whole world now gets to experience instance admins repeatedly subtweeting each other on their respective shitty social media sites

[uspol, silly] Mump & Trusk

I wonder what the likelihood is of Trump nationalizing SpaceX now that Musk is apparently decommissioning dragon…. This episode has me on the edge of my seat

Let me thinkpad about this. #shitpost

The bike ride opened for 10 km turned into 6km, as after 3 or 4 km my knee started notifying me it exists. Which I guess is an improvement, and exercises are doing something, but not nearly "can go biking anywhere"

Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should care A growing number of incels are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). That should concern us all. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/05/why-incels-take-the-blackpill-and-why-we-should-care/

My son is looking to get into sewing machine repair as a business. There's demand for it up here. But search engines in 2025 are shite. Does anyone know any good resources? Things like old manuals, online communities, forums, wikis, YouTube channels. For example, he's got a 1928 Singer that's […]

Breaking: Putin vows retaliation for strikes in Russia, just not with their strategic bomber fleet.

Folks have taken exception in the past with my claim that SimpleX is "run by nazis". I base that on the fact that it presents popular/recommended "rooms" as part of the UX, and a bunch of those are nazi shit. No, "that's just algorithmic outside their control" is not an excuse. If you're […]

Early weekday mornings in New York, you’ll often see parents walking their children to school. These are usually kids from kindergarten through about sixth grade—by seventh grade, most get there on their own. One of my small joys is noticing how much the kids look like miniature versions of […]

I had very nice high grass as a view from my window, mixed kinds, just living off of what rained on it. All of that is currently getting a buzz cut. At least there's sporadic rain throughout this week, so they'll have it easier to survive such treatment...

#Ansible has #molecule for #testing. Is there something other than #TestKitchen for testing configuration management other than ansible? Or maybe a way to make molecule do it? #SysAdmin #DevOps #AskFedi

What are the best practices for running private (authentication required before you can download things) package repositories for Debian and RPM packages?

When old Soviet Union jokes are applicable to the US, you know something has gone terribly wrong.

On one hand, I seem to have the tools to mount the front bike rack. On the other, I'm not sure the front light cable will be long enough, and I'd like to have it go in a tube by the rack as it goes by the fork, and I certainly don't have the stuff for doing anything about those 😓

Holy, holy shit. This is why you don't use LLMs. For anything. Ever. #AI #LLM #ChatGPT https://amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-ex-machina

I woke up at 1am and the auroras were amaaaazing!! It was a bit smoky, but the auroras were so bright it didn't matter. I just stood there, soaking it up, while a barn cat purred and rubbed on my legs, and Starlink satellites drifted through the storm. Eat […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Petition to rename LLMs "ABMs". American Bullshit Machines

Operation Spiderweb idea may have been borrowed from a video game After the spectacular strikes on Russian strategic aviation, Internet users noticed that Operation Spider's Web resembles the plot of the game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which was released […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Dzięki pszczołom i praktykom związanym z ich przydomowym chowem czuję, że niewzruszalny konwenans panującej kultury reprodukcji bezwzględnej konkurencji, żądzy zysku i hiperproduktywności zostaje choć na krótko przerwany. Bezinteresowna energia pszczół odciąga moją uwagę od towarowego sposobu […]

The Ukrainian attack used RU telecom networks rather than Starlink. Hard to guess whether this will drive Putin or Elon nuts first. edition.cnn.com/2025/06/02/e...

Does anyone have access to the following article? My library does not have issues before the 1980s and the mighty librarians of the steppes are failing me. If necessary I can use ILL.

please don't pay attention to me screaming when the polish ruling coalition comes to all the wrong conclusions about their presidential campaign failure.

Pride month means I get to post the gay oscilloscope

I’d like to speak to the architect that said “oh let’s place a giant window next to the urinals”

Apparently my post on Sesame Street attracted the vilest scum in the fediverse. I thank them for crawling from their pits, so I could suspend each of these instances they came from. On the upside: this saves me gigabytes of storage and bandwidth.

General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you […]
