Perfect! In Wyoming, the legislature has decided, that you cannot require others to address you by your preferred pronouns — thinking that this will only hurt trans people, Trump wants to persecute. So citizen Britt Boril calls in to a committee meeting […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Trove API users beware! I had a meeting with the NLA on Friday about my cancelled API keys and was shocked by changes in their policy towards API use that could have a big impact of HASS research using #Trove data. More details […]

Ylen vaalikoneessa kysytään ehdokkaan sometilejä. Listassa on tarjolla X. Ei BlueSky, ei Mastodon, ei edes Threads. Voisiko suomalainen media lopettaa Muskin alustan nostamisen jalustalle, jota se ei todellakaan ansaitse?

Jos osaisin piirtää pilakuvia, piirtäisin keisari Trumpin johdattamassa sotajoukkojaan, kenraalit Vance ja Musk kannoillaan, kohti syvän kuilun reunaa huutaen "America First!". Ehkä sitten joitain eurooppalaisia pyörittelemässä silmiään sivummalla ja Putinin ja Xin hihittelemässä.

So I've had a meeting with the NLA and I'm still in shock. Apparently under the current interpretation of the #Trove API terms of use, you cannot access 'content', only 'metadata'. This means, for example, it is a breach of the terms of use to download the text of a newspaper article using the […]

Vuonna 2024 julkisella sektorilla hankittiin yli miljardilla eurolla Microsoft-käyttöoikeuksia. Näihin käytettiin rahaa enemmän kuin mihinkään muuhun. Rahaa pois Euroopasta, kriittisiin järjestelmiin, joilla Trump voi painostaa meitä huonoihin diileihinsä. Tämä suunta täytyy nyt kääntää, nopeasti.

Voi että pitikin lukea aamusta heti herättyäni tämä pitkä juttu. Jaan sen toistamiseen. Tämä todella laittaa nyt ajattelemaan entistä syvemmin irtautumista näistä Amerikan BigTech "palveluista" ja sitä miten saada takaisin se oikea Internet. Jotain teen jo, vielä voin tehdä enemmän. Lukekaa […]

Minu arvates on kogu see asi läbimõtlemata ja kiirustades tehtud, pole kaasatud teadlasi ja teaduspõhist lähenemist ning meenutab lihtsalt hurraa müügitööd. Selle asemel, et arendada vabatarkvaralisi või vähemalt Euroopa firmade loodud teenuseid võetakse (praegusel ajal!) suured ameerika firmad […]

FediOnFire was a hobby project designed to showcase a firehose of public statuses across the Fediverse. Developed by Roni Laukkarinen (@rolle), it aimed to highlight the diversity of the network. Unfortunately, some community members misinterpreted and discredited the project, which led to ugly […]

📖 “Bringing Quote Posts to Mastodon” https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/ The implementation strategy looks good. Keeps the control in the hands of the person who wrote the post being quoted rather than the other way round.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website. This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions. https://floor796.com I don't […]

OK. This is kind of scary. I uploaded my profile pic to https://theyseeyourphotos.com/ This is a site, setup by a former Google employee to show you, how Google would interpret a picture of you. The result is not 100 % accurate (e.g. that I could be targeted with alcohol ads, but I hardly […]

You might think working a phone repair kiosk is a waste of my skills. Yeah nah. Today, this kid came in with an iPhone that was more than cracked, it was banana-fied. “What happened?” I asked, turning the wreckage over in my hands. I don’t think there was a single salvageable part. “And have […]
