The platform will have stricter privacy and data protection standards than other social media platforms. When it opens to the general public, they'll need to provide photo ID to post on the platform

Launching their new social network, W, a group in the EU posted a map of where other social networks are hosted. It showed nothing in Europe.

But their map is wrong.

Here's what Mastodon actually looks like, and what the Fediverse as a whole actually looks like.

@vkc@linuxmom.net a point in favour of the association between the sparkle emoji and generative AI: gnome's new icon set contains a sparkle icon called ai-slop, which is also tagged with generative and bullshit

Looks like a very motivated developer made a patch for #kwin and turned #KDE into a fully featured #VR desktop 👉 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8671

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:

Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.

Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.

Remember, we are causing the AI boom to falter because we keep using the term "slop":
