@magitian @darkling now that I think about it. This has quite a bit of a learning curve and if I had to teach my mom to use vim keybindings just to use Facebook or whatever I'd shoot myself.

Is your mom comfy with nerdy stuff like vim and memorizing keybindings? Are we going to have to think of something simpler?

@CoMaps are there any plans to import Polish public transit data like bus schedules?

@darkling well web browsing is fairly easy. Personally I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tridactyl-vim/
But I might switch to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/

Thunderbird and open office should have keybindongs for nearly everything tho. Right?

@darkling what type of stuff does she have to do? Web stuff?

🎉 The first year of real Open Source collaboration in the railway sector - let's look back!

OK, actually it's been more than a year already, but we've finished our first actual report which was exciting for us. We had high hopes when we started #OpenRail, but onboarding 5 projects and enlarging the membership to 8 organisations from 2 continents has been nothing but a blast 💥

The hardest part is yet to come: establishing collaboration by #OpenSource as the default in the #railway industry 💪

As the government takes extreme measures to crack down on immigrants' and protestors' rights, “you can easily see how ALPRs, which is an extremely invasive technology, could be weaponized against that community,” EFF’s Jennifer Pinsof told @404mediaco. https://www.404media.co/california-cops-investigate-immigration-protest-with-ai-camera-system/

Right at the last minute the UK government have added a power to access to your devices and extract information from any online account, on the say so of a senior police officer, in the #crimeandpolicingbill #cpbill

Really incredibly extreme stuff. No judicial oversight, just hand over your device.

Question for fedi-followers and ErosBlog readers/fans: what could I do/offer that would tempt you to chip in with Patreon support?

I've always used Patreon mostly as a donation button, not a marketing or goodie delivery channel. If I wanted to change that -- and SOMETHING obviously needs to change -- what would you want?

Suggestions welcome in replies. Boosts appreciated.

Still.looking forward to mastodon poisoning images, so that mastodon is more than an AI training system for images.

In the meantime be creative in screwing over AI tech Bros with readable fun alt texts that poison AI

GitHub is Leaking Trump’s Plans to 'Accelerate' #AI Across Government
Jason Koebler

A new website and API called AI.gov is set to launch on the Fourth of July.

https://www.404media.co/github-is-leaking-trumps-plans-to-accelerate-ai-across-government/

#AI will be pushed down through your throat and it's usage will be measured. You will be scored and promoted according to your usage.

Everything is wrong with #AI.

This is a religion and you can measure how much you believe.

Want to start a company that specializes in acquiring the audiobook rights of out-of-print 70s and 80s horror paperback novels and hooking them up with a killer narrator for a new generation.
