Oh we have the same wish @EUCommission

I think it'd be a powerful move if you deleted your X account (a platform that has become a vector of misinformation and a cesspool of hate).

By the way, your homepage states: "Follow us on" followed by the icons of Facebook, X and LinkedIn. I always found it odd, since those are algorithm-based U.S. companies and you are the EUROPEAN Commission. How about putting your Mastodon icon on your homepage?

Thank you for your consideration

Is Google news using Grok? How else do you go from the tragic gun death of a student at Brown University to the "Removal of Uzbekistanis from the United States"? Is this really their removal strategy???

🐙 We just published the 8th version of #PeerTube !

New video player, collaborative channel management, improved import system…
With each update, PeerTube improves to better meet your needs!

In a new blog post, we review these new features, as well as the past year and our plans for the future.

Check it out on Framablog!

YouTube is now using AI to alter people's videos without permission. (There are threads about this at https://mastodon.content.town/@operationpuppet/115640694705318541 & https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/115598837629003478 etc)

This is really disturbing and dangerous. It's more insidious than censorship because viewers cannot tell a video has been altered.

If you post to YouTube, I'd strongly recommend you start ALSO posting to PeerTube, either on your own server or a public server. There's a complete guide here:

Nature confirms what I have suspected for a long time: their obscene article processing fees are not used to hire qualified editors or copyeditors. They all but admit that this paper was not even peer reviewed !

Boom! New planetary science JOURNAL just dropped!

@VeroniqueB99 @DavidM_yeg @csolisr You will be happy to know that only 0.000001% of Parisian streets have been transformed. It is still a car city. They really should have started with the neighborhood around Opera first.
