Which Large Language Model do you prefer? The one that thinks trans people don’t exist or the one that doesn’t want to talk about Tianmen Square in 1989?

I’m not a big fan of Bluesky. I don’t see the point and all I want is already there on the Fediverse/Mastodon. But many people enjoy Bluesky. Some of those are really good and smart people. I agree with a lot of the points that Cory Doctorow makes in this piece. pluralistic.net/2025/01/14/c...

Es gab ja mal eine Zeit, in der Twitter Schlagzeilen gemacht und Themen gesetzt hat. Das mit der ttt-Moderation war wahrscheinlich die erste Bluesky-Schlagzeile.

Hodiaŭ mi eksciis pri lastatempe lanĉita novaĵejo retejo, kiu ilustras ĉion per teruraj bildoj kreitaj per artefarita intelekto, petas donacojn en kripta monero kaj puŝas Kremlan propagandon. Verkita tute en Esperanto.

When asked if Bluesky would always be free of advertisers like it is today, Graber said: “I don’t think that’s necessarily true.” “I think the ways we would explore advertising, if we did, would be much more user intent-driven,” said Graber (…) techcrunch.com/2024/12/05/b...

In 2007, I wrote a piece of #InteractiveFiction in the form of a classic text adventure. The story is about the Chaos Communication Camp 2007, an international, five-day open-air event for hackers and associated life-forms that took place from August 8th to 12th 2007 in Finowfurt near Berlin.

Together with Thiemo Kreuz I wrote a little #roguelike game with items generated from #Wikidata that lets you crawl through the Dungeon of Knowledge in a classic ASCII interface. The game is more than seven years old, but it’s still working and still fun! Play it here: www.johl.io/dungeonofkno...

According to folklore, butterflies steal the cream off milk pots, hence the name. Their German name "Schmetterling" has the same roots, but that’s obscure to most speakers nowadays, as "Schmetten" is an archaic or regional word for butter with a Slavic origin.
