There is something clearly missing here

I suggest a Fugazzeta ( double mozarella and lots of onions pizza) which is very popular in Argentina.
I'm bringing back greeting people in the streets. I have thus far good-morning'd 6 unsuspecting folk of my local community and have achieved a 100% hit rate. I cannot be stopped. I am the friendly neighbourhood....Goodmorning-Man. Goodmorning-Man, Goodmorning-Man. Does whatever a goodmorning can.
@TheBreadmonkey Here in the Deep South US, you’re weird if you *don’t* greet someone. We even wave to each other when we pass in our cars.
#MastoAdmin question: does anyone know how to contact anyone responsible for pelago.1sland.social?
A user of our instance that I know personally has been flagged as dav1d there. The only way to contest it seems to be granting full admin read and write permissions to the instance, which is such an absolutely unconscionable request and staggeringly risky that I can't help but assume it's a scam.
@mawr I'll do a full retraction, and I'm sorry for the false positive. Full admin read and write should not be required at all to contest anything. We already know if you're an admin of the instance from profile permissions alone.
Hey, @EUCommission, fuck you too.

On Wednesday, EU Member States approved a change to the GDPR that would put the profit-making interests of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX over European's fundamental right to data protection. According to the approved text, processing personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under the agreed text, the profits of AI companies would typically trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.”

@aral @EUCommission this is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard of
@Omega_Scribet @vosje62 @NRC @marleenstikker @rolle Dank. Die vraag bewaar ik even voor een andere keer.
@MarloesdeKoning @Omega_Scribet @vosje62 @NRC @marleenstikker Ja, het is in Finland in alle gevallen verboden om in het openbaar om geld te vragen, zelfs voor kanker. We hebben hier geen cultuur van geven, en dat is jammer. Ik heb hier een uitgebreid artikel over de Finse wetgeving inzake fondsenwerving (opmerking: dit bericht is automatisch vertaald met mijn krachtige tools; ik ben meertalig en spreek drie+ talen als moedertaal, maar ik spreek nog geen Nederlands, lol): https://mementomori.social/@rolle/115521485700533252
@varjolintu En tiedä mitä kikkoja Tino Siekkinen käyttää, mutta hänellä olen käynyt yli 15v, hän on myös Kimi Räikkösen kiropraktikko. Niksautuksia ja naksautuksia, "hieronta-manipulaatiokäsittely" -nimellä kulkee. On toiminut. Kävin kahdesti hiljattain, joten siksi tämä tuntuu vähän jännältä, että iski silti. Kai se voi iskeä siitäkin huolimatta, että on hoidattanut rankaansa. Maanantaina fyssari ja katsotaan mikä on tilanne.
@rolle Manipulaatio ja niksauttelu on ihan eri hommaa. Voi olla myös vaarallista, etenkin jos rangassa onkin jotain vikaa.

My prediction is that something will appear and then rapidly disappear again ;)

Incredible if predictable betrayal of public trust: you have industry lobbyists become appointees, exploit unitary executive theory to undermine environmental laws and ride roughshod over staff.

I'm reading this and my main takeaway is "emacs is the new premier livecoding tool" https://www.monadicsheep.org/blog/an-introduction-to-canvas-in-emacs.html
@cwebber psst @mhoye 👀↑↑ you gotta read that post, https://www.monadicsheep.org/blog/an-introduction-to-canvas-in-emacs.html , or at least load it in your browser and take one look at the hero image at the top of the article.
Emacs just took over where Smalltalk Squeak and Hypercard left off.

Short update on my M-VAVE FM-1: Ordered a second one. The one I have is now running the JIANT [1] Firmware. It's a generative groove box/synthesizer combo that sometimes creates surprisingly good results 😊 The second one is needed to do some droning :)
NICE!
I love my FM-1 and still haven't had the time to fully experiment with it yet. I think I have a list of at least 12 interesting firmwares I want to check.
Also a second one is about to arrive here this week. 🙃

genAI training is the thing you're thinking of after reading those two words, but it's also the thing that happens to anyone who attempts to convince a text autocomplete algorithm of something
if you look at arguments in favor of genAI you won't find any
but you will find a lot of assertions in favor of genAI
because that's how you have to talk to an autocomplete algorithm in order to try to make it give you the words you want
you can't convince an autocomplete algorithm that something is good for a reason because autocomplete algorithms don't think
they just guess the most likely next word using (frankly less complicated than what you've probably already done today, just on a ridiculous amount of numbers) math
so if you put more stuff in the document that's being autocompleted about how the thing is good, then the guessed words will reflect that

In Low German, this is a funny play on words that only recently came to light in the wake of the PHP issues 😉
