FYI Whatsapp was based on XMPP but with no federation

This is exactly what I hoped distro did with Plasma System Settings instead of introducing inconsistent and poorly maintained tools like OpenSUSE's Yast.

Also, in my opinion the user should just be made aware of the "system", not the implementation details like which DE, WM, distro and so on, those should be hidden behind some "About" page and not leading to different configuration tools.

Drivers and PRIME Profiles are now placed inside GNOME Settings!

This means that you will no longer find them in the Vanilla Control Center.

A recent toot by @L_howes (I am unable to quote-toot) did let me rethink how important it is when using pure ML/AI protocols (particular generative ones) to always remember that they are intriguingly build on correlation only. Causation comes with the builder or user.
Thus generative AI like #ChatBotGPT does not do science, it mimics it. It does not create art, it copies and mimics it. And when we claim a language model makes things up, it really only does what it is trained for

@L_howes

The UI of these tools must make clear that it's a simulation, such as a movie is not reality no matter how plausible.

Here's a first... I just got an email because ChatGPT suggested an article I wrote to somebody. Could I send them a copy? Except, I never wrote the article, it doesn't exist. PLEASE realize right now that this tool isn't pulling out cool references for you. It's making plausible titles and matching them to authors names.

Copyleft is copyright. Moreover, it's the progressive brunch of copyright development.

My problem with that “Bing told me it loves me” article is that the author waited until the last paragraphs to explain why, leading to misunderstanding about what’s messed up about it. (tldr: by mentioning jungian psychology and dark fantasies he primed the statistical model to cobble together dark, existential, and manipulative strings of words)

There is no concern that Bing is secretly alive or sentient.

There is concern this software could be harmful to people who don’t understand that.

Now Cory talking about the GPT3 mergers with search engines , especially Google with their 'huge secretive apparatus', says @pluralistic ... It's an 'incredibly weird pathological decision' to put this 'habitual liar' into their search engine, when it's already struggling with so much shitty SEO spam - this is so true 😬

The Swedish government advises against using Zoom in a recent report.

Read more about why they’re pushing instead for more open-source solutions like Nextcloud Hub! 👏

Dear retards: bitcoin can't fix anything if'n ya just hoard it. It only works for society if you spend it. Nobody believes anything you say about it fixing the world when we know you're just trying to hype the price of your stash in USD.
