Pessoal nas mesas de voto, atenção à falsa informação sobre os boletins de voto: na segunda volta haverá novos boletins, os da primeira não vão ser reaproveitados

(na minha mesa achavam que era assim)

Então, todos os jornais simplesmente reproduziram as palavras do Musk, ou houve algum jornalista que se tenha dignado a verificar?

X claims it has stopped Grok from undressing people, but of course it hasn’t
It’s still easy to get Grok to edit photographs of real people into sexualized poses, despite X’s updated restrictions.

The New School was founded by Columbia University professors who wanted a university run by the faculty with minimal administration. For over 100 years it has been a unique institution with progressive values and incredible students and faculty from Ai Weiwei to Hannah Arendt. We are devastated.

Last week, the New School issued voluntary separation & early retirement offers to 40% of the full-time faculty & the majority of non-union staff. These cuts to the bone are an ideological attempt to decimate historic spaces of critical inquiry & social justice. Share our statement tr.ee/qQBIDCpIuj

It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads.

They're fucking right too. Tech has just become rent seeking bloatware.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

EUA: Lançou-se um produto que seria um "amigo" movido a IA. Criou polémica entre a opinião pública. Assim espalharam outdoors provocadores com muito espaço branco para ser fácil insultá-los com grafitti. Transformaram assim o ódio numa campanha de marketing que milhões não pagariam. Lembra alguém?

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Contra esto luchamos:

@corporateeurope.org‬ ha publicado un estudio que revela el poder sin precedentes del lobby de las BigTech en la UE.
-151 millones anuales en influir sobre las instituciones europeas (un 55,6% más en 4 años)
-900 lobistas a tiempo completo (más que eurodiputados)

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.
There are signs that Morgan is becoming a cause célèbre for neo-Nazis in the United States. The white supremacist Paul Miller, who gained notoriety for making hate-filled videos while wearing Nazi garb, said on social media that he was working to secure Morgan’s release and directed followers to a crowdfunding campaign that he said was from Morgan directly. “I am in contact with @GasChambers_,” Miller tweeted on Sunday, referring to an X account that says it has raised money for Morgan. “We are going to pay the bail for Kenneth in the next few days he will be free. Gaschamber was very kind and gracious. We just spoke on the phone. We are going to get kenneth out very soon.”
