By this post of @w0bb1t (thx!) I realised that the #39C3 #fahrplan is out

Come and join my to discuss #fascism #cybernetics #society #tech #sustainability #resistance and #humanrights

Life tastes too good to leave it to #fascists

Can't wait to finish work to browse the Fahrplan :)

Like most talks this will be streamed and later available on www.media.ccc.de and @c3voc often provides #subtitles - and you can help them, if you like!

Admin: AI is here to stay
Me: so is herpes, but they shouldn’t get it in the classroom

Not using ChatGPT has made a huge difference to my workflow and efficiency. I'm a power unuser.

Cada vez que eu vejo esse meme ele só melhora!

FAVOR to ASK: I'm working on a new version of TV-B-Gone kit. Please let me know which TVs your TV-B-Gone (any type) does not turn off ! I'll fix that. :)

Hola #Fediverso.

Comparto más noticias astronómicas.

Este fin de semana vamos a ser testigos de una de las lluvias de meteoros más famosa que se da cada año, las Leónidas. Se llaman así porque se observan en dirección de la constelación de Leo.

En México, los días pico serán del 16 al 17 de noviembre, alrededor de las 18:00 hrs GMT.

Sin embargo, será visible casi todo el mes de noviembre aunque con una menor intensidad.

Esta lluvia de meteoros puede verse como tormenta, es decir, con hasta unos mil eventos por minuto.

Su origen se debe a los restos de un cometa llamado 55P/Tempel-Tuttle que tiene un ciclo de 33 años alrededor del Sol.

@transicorn @keith @homegrown Well, Bluesky stats also show it to be a dying or stagnant network at best (decline in active users for most of this year) and the probability of dying for Bluesky is predicated on its lack of growth unlike Mastodon which has not made a pact with the venture capitalists.

It is great to see increasing momentum to get off US BigTech and onto alternatives. It is however important to zoom out a bit and check where the alternative is actually hosted - and I don't just mean geographically.

Many BigTech alternatives, even if non-US owned, run atop Amazon AWS or MS Azure datacenters anyway. So you're leaving the room but staying in the building.

To disempower the deep capture US corporations have over tech globally, we're going to need to be rigorous, & act on it.

I'm surprised to learn this week that French and British museums consider theft wrong

Way too many bytes in one basket makes for one very big single point of failure. This is the cost of an absurdly hyper-centralised fast-food-like data center culture.

Signal++ down, sucks, but it's seeing fundamentals like banks & public sector services break that stings most.

But hey, maybe this is what it tales to push more govs to actual #datasovereignty, investing in locally owned data centers or building out their team & hosting on-prem
