Took a quick read of that Computing Manifesto and sheesh does it drip with a tone of determinism and inevitability. On one hand, it's great that tech people are thinking about the societal impact of tech; on the other hand, they're still missing that tech solutions for societal problems hardly work.

Everyone always laughs nervously when I show this slide, but - seriously - don't make things that are creepy and weird. Don't purchase tools that are creepy and weird. Don't get free licenses to see how they work, just in case. Don't take meetings with the people who make them.

Don't let anyone tell you that the Commission's DSA enforcement against X is about speech or censorship.
That would, indeed, be interesting. But this is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring laws that would get bipartisan support in the U.S. (I bet similar bills *have* had that support.) 1/

Binged Breaking Bad again after finally getting around to watch Better Call Saul recently, and it feels insane that there are people on this earth that hated Skyler.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

Hopefully I am going to finish my project readme wiritng thingy today and then my gif coding era is comming to a close. Maybe gonna do something else related to it in the future, but probably not this year.

An archival version of the code used for my gif project is now on @tangled.org after I figured out how to configure my ssh stuff, one of those things I do every x years and always do something wrong.
Now you can roast me for not following any standards, or copy&paste the code for your own projects.

Es gibt zigtausend Überwachungsmaßnahmen die mit dem Grund "Kindesschutz" daherkommen, aber wenn es eine einfache und offensichtlich gute Sache gibt, welche man in bestehende Prozesse integrieren könnte, dann wird die einfach nicht gemacht, weil sich niemand wirklich zuständig sieht.
Sexualisierte Gewalt - Illegale Aufnahmen sollen im Netz bleiben
Betroffene von Kindesmissbrauch wollen, dass die Polizei illegale Bilder und Videos löschen lässt. Vier Jahre rangen Innenminister in Bund und Ländern um eine Lösung. Doch nun steht offenbar fest: Die...

One of the first gifs you can find online that uses the "new" specs is BOB_89A.GIF
It makes use of user input and plain text to introduce the new features. However that means if you open it in an image viewer, most likely you just see Bob himself and no text.
Kinda sad if you think about it.

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

It is important to understand that the right uses its political power to create and upflit these kind of ghouls whenever they can. If you know a bit about how grade complaints would be handled and escalated you should have smelt the bs already, and for everyone else this pretty much proof of an op
The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

Slowly but surely my gif editor gets closer to completion. With today's update you can add and modify plain text extensions, a feature nearly no gif viewer supports 👍
Because the compact look works pretty neat I am not going to implement any "set this value for all elements" menue just yet.

For business' AI is responsibility gaps as a service.
Robots only ever do things a human told them to do. Billionaires are having their robots break the law.
Having a computer do something shouldn’t make it legal.

There's impatient and there's robot (~10-30 ms) impatient:
Stockton turning onto Jackson, Chinatown, San Francisco
Prob didn't make eye contact first.
<2 blocks from where a Waymo robot was burned on Jackson during New Years celebration.
Did Waymo crank their aggro to 11?

Meine Studierenden hatten übrigens zum Teil zum ersten Mal von Clickworkern gehört. Ich denke, wir sprechen zu wenig mit ihnen darüber, was "KI" mit sich bringt - für Mensch und Umwelt. Statt nur die Vor- und Nachteile für Studium & Lehre zu diskutieren, sollte das mMn ebenso Beachtung finden.

Ich will mal was erzählen, was mit dem Sprechen über Rechts zu tun hat. Beschäftigt mich viel.
Ich hab neulich einen Workshop zu Digitalfaschismus gegeben.
Vor mir war ein Redner der über völkische Siedlerbewegungen informiert.

While I am writing about media, I have a little story from way back which I never wrote down anywhere. It is about how two different news outlets reported on a big german TV event, and their respective focus.
Templating and backfilling in media stories over the years (or plug&play like Daub later writes) is imho a thing from campaign journalism. When you look at how outlets like Bild you will see it constantly. They use similar argumentative templates for a lot of stories, like a fill-in-the-blanks.
It's fascinating to me: media discourses in Germany (elsewhere too, but I see it most clearly in Germany) have a tendency to retain a structure, but to slowly substitute the specific elements connected by that structure. It's like a discursive Ship of Theseus... (1/4)

Der Bundespräsident hat kürzlich die Zivilgesellschaft aufgerufen, sich den Rechtsextremen entgegenzustellen. Heute haben Tausende Menschen genau das gemacht, und diese Menschen sind nun also für den Bundeskanzler alle "ganz links". Puh.

Quick question for a friend. How do you call it when a government just wholeheartedly attacks the free press? Whatever fears of a ministry of truth under any Dem you might have had, clearly this would be a good point to write those hard hitting Op-eds defending free speech and freedom of the press.
