A few absolute shockers in the list of websites the Washington Post has revealed are used to train Google's generative AI tools. Apparently including the likes of 4Chan, Breitbart, and RT.

From WaPo:

"Meanwhile, we found several media outlets that rank low on NewsGuard’s independent scale for trustworthiness: RT.com No. 65, the Russian state-backed propaganda site; breitbart.com No. 159, a well-known source for far-right news and opinion; and vdare.com No. 993, an anti-immigration site that has been associated with white supremacy.

"The top Christian site, Grace to You (gty.org No. 164), belongs to Grace Community Church, an evangelical megachurch in California. Christianity Today recently reported that the church counseled women to 'continue to submit' to abusive fathers and husbands and to avoid reporting them to authorities."

Opt-out: I just stuck my ice cream cone in your mouth, you can remove it if you don’t like it.

Opt-in: Would you like some ice cream?

This is apparently the tweet that led to my suspension from Twitter. Right as I was reinstated they announced a new policy that they apparently found me to have retroactively violated

Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s Twitter takeover and is now also backing Post.news, Twitter’s main competitor outside Mastodon. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take!

Elon Musk plans to reinstate nearly ALL previously banned Twitter accounts — to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts. The decision will have dangerous consequences, particularly for vulnerable communities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/24/twitter-musk-reverses-suspensions/ #twitter #twittermigration #tech #technology #elon #TwitterMigrate


“Helping other people use technology requires humility: you have to want to help them realize their goals, which may be totally unlike your own. You have to listen carefully and take care not to make assumptions about how they ‘should’ use tech. You may be a tech expert, but they are experts on themselves.” - @pluralistic

For all the talk of Mastodon being better about harassment it doesn’t seem like it has any features ppl who deal w/ tons of harassment have been asking Twitter for:
* Mass blocking capabilities
* Ability to block/limit anyone who likes a specific post or follows a specific person
* Ability to see only notifications from mutuals, etc.

Can you even limit ur replies to mutuals only on here? Doesn’t seem like you can?

By way of #introductions: I am 57-year-old Australian father living in #Berlin.

I have a doctorate in psychology, and have worked both inside and outside academia over the last 20 years (in Los Angeles, Boson, London, Berlin).

Nowadays, I am mostly involved in looking after my two children—Lucy 7.5, and Valentin 1.7.

I am interested in #green #progressive #politics, #science, #technology, #books (#scifi #non-fiction), #photography.

I look forward to meeting some like-minded people here.


I wrote an article on #css layers. It's as condensed as possible as all the other guides I saw were over 6000 words. I have #ADHD, that's not gonna work.

So, less than 800 words on this new "feature". What, how and why.

There is a nice infographic in this article explaining how the global COVID-19 tracking app could work but they missed a few things. Here is revised and improved variant 😀


Coronavirus: Call for single EU tracking app with data protection | BBC News


Europe's data protection watchdog has called for a single coronavirus app to be used across the EU, instead of every country making its own.
Several countries are developing tracking apps, but privacy advocates warn of the dangers they might pose.
The European Data Protection Supervisor says a single EU app with strong data protection built in is the best solution to the coronavirus pandemic.
