Guten Morgen ☀️
France's National Assembly has voted in favour of a new "internet tax" that would charge companies for every gigabyte of data they send to users in France. It may get messier than GDPR.
https://itsfoss.com/news/vlc-outrage-at-french-internet-tax/
Is that true that France wants to introduce a tax per gigabyte used in internet connections?
@selea it's true but I can't give much détails as I don't know much about this.

The rot of Couchsurfing is mainstreaming decay in #openweb paths

On Thursday, Elon Musk said saving money for the future is pointless because superintelligent AI will bring abundance.

@seldo The OSCE comparison is where I'd push. A standardized patient is trained to answer the same way for every student, and that's what makes the checklist fair. An LLM customer drifts: the same model can volunteer a hidden requirement to one candidate and hold it back from another who asked nearly the same thing. I'd log which requirements the customer revealed in each session, and score candidates on the questions they asked rather than on what the customer happened to give away.

A family member brought a beloved x230 back from the brink with salvaged hardware from a pile of other Ye Olde Thinkpads in various states of disarray. This machine has been around the world a few times, a lot of gigs.
Thought we'd slide #FreeBSD on it, and that turned out to be a good idea. It really is quite lovely.
Quick install, no fiddle really I put my A+ fav window manager on it, DWM (URL in the pic).

Hi @JulianOliver
how cute, another #Beastie Box! With a german keyboard?
I run an #x250 with i3. https://mro.name/FreeBSD-XFCE #FreeBSD
Now, what do I call this tool... inconceivable sounds like a good name, because it converts an old format to a new one, and providing such upgrade help in 20267 is inconceivable.
Oh, fuck. Forgejo 17.0.1 still throws an HTTP 500 when trying to open a PR. I guess I will have to report that.

Shocked. Absolutely shocked.

See, if all our computing is done on someone else's hardware, they can have complete control over what we can do.
Trying to organize your union or protest? Against the TOS. Your telehealth appointment? Right into the AI training data. Want to make porn? Nope, TOS. Criticism of Israel? TOS violation and reported to the government.
Sam Altman dreams of a future where he has control of your entire digital life.
