Last 3 German nuclear reactors are going offline this week.
Last German coal plant? 2038.

A lot of talk of NATO-Ukraine sec. guarantees. This makes sense until full @NATO@twitter.com membership is possible. The same should be put in place for #BosniaHerzegovina, so that talk of changing borders, threats to 🇧🇦 territorial integrity, is off the table once & for all. #StableBalkans

A little #GameReview for #Suzerain on Android.
Have been hooked on this story game the last few days. A must for the #histodon crew and after the compelling it was a no brainer that this was worth punting £4 on. It's quite beautiful.
You play a citizen of a country in the kid 20th Century, not unlike many Eastern European nations caught between superpowers and ancient regional emnities. Thrown into the position of President, your role is to negotiate with the various factions and lead the country.
What's astonishing is the level of detail the game has, the characters, events and cultures that draw on #geopolitics and #history from across the globe.
I don't know how scripted it is, but I was gutted when my first playthrough ended in tragedy, despite great successes.
Will try again, perhaps a little less trusting and idealistic before.
@TedUnderwood I would agree, only as long as students manage to overcome the temptation of lazy use. And it is so strong that they need facilitation to help

I think what scares me the most about the ”AI” tools that have been hyped over the past few months is that they all appear to emphasise the elimination of thinking.
All while manufacturers falsely claim that this is what is going on inside the machine.
As if the time and effort between information retrieval and making sense of it is inconsequential to the growth of the human mind and the validity of the end result.
As if thinking is a nuisance.

Unfortunately, two of #mastedon 's worst decisions were 1) Not allowing #QuoteToot s & 2) Not publicizing boost/like counts to others.
That's why likes serve almost no purpose. Also, no #QuoteToots suppresses sharing great ideas b/c you can neither add context to a boosted comment nor add your own commentary to another toot.
I've heard the arguments about those things amplifying trolls or creating pile-ons but the "fixes" squash way more good ideas, IMO.

I tried out SyntheticUsers, so you don't have to
Using AI as a replacement for interviewing actual users is a brilliant idea if you want to look like you made an effort, but are really looking to fill the page with superficial, stereotyped bullshit.

Study showing that ChatGPT can influence our moral judgments, and we underestimate how influenced we are. Highlights the need for education to help people better understand what these systems are doing.

I often wish to have the confidence of a journalist. Then I remember that it would mean convincing others of things that even I myself wouldn't want to be convinced in... especially if I have no way to know these are true

@alex @emilymbender would be really insightful if one could see some sort of topic indications (an ALT tag of a sort) of videos. Maybe titles assigned to recordings post-factum? I realise this is extra work, but would hugely improve accessibility

Not a good sign if you need to build a wall to keep people in. Twitter did it to last year, and they're doing it to #Substack now. They can get away with anything as long as they keep you locked in. The future of social media is open and decentralized.
