Are there any admins on social.tchncs.de.? Is anonymously spreading lies about over 30 families in Gaza allowed on this instance?
This anonymous coward has been chased off of every server he’s been on and yet he’s still here, still attacking people suffering from genocide and famine.
(And yes, some folks copy posts from others. We’ve asked them not to. But they’re trying to survive genocide, not win social media awards.)
Also (see his second post) we’re not attempting to r…

Linux Is Best (@Linux@social.tchncs.de)
Attached: 2 images 1 of 2 First, let me say: what’s happening in Gaza is absolutely awful. But what’s also awful is that there are dishonest people taking advantage of others during a crisis. In one photo, from Facebook (my job, where I work), we had a woman claiming to be a 36-year-old mother of two children, ages 4 and 7. She spaced out the URL in her post, hoping it wouldn’t get flagged by spam filters (it did). The very next day, someone on the Fediverse posted the exact same messa…

Kann mir jemand mal 'Anonyme Umfrage' erklären?
Meine Tochter bekam vor ca. 4 Wochen ein Schreiben eines Frankfurter Amtes. Sie sei 1 von 5000 zufällig ausgewählten Bürger_innen und solle doch bitte
1. freiwillig und
2. anonym
an einer Umfrage teilnehmen.
Heute bekommt sie ein weiteres Schreiben. Inhalt: "Leider haben sie noch nicht an unserer Umfrage teilgenommen". Natürlich folgt dann sofort der Hinweis auf Freiwilligkeit und Anonymität. Alles D…

Protecting participants or population? Comparison of k-anonymous Origin-Destination matrices
Origin-Destination (OD) matrices are a core component of research on users' mobility and summarize how individuals move between geographical regions. These regions should be small enough to be representative of user mobility, without incurring substantial privacy risks. There are two added values of the NetMob2025 challenge dataset. Firstly, the data is extensive and contains a lot of socio-demographic information that can be used to create multiple OD matrices, based on the segments of the pop…

Why Data Anonymization Has Not Taken Off
Companies are looking to data anonymization research $\unicode{x2013}$ including differential private and synthetic data methods $\unicode{x2013}$ for simple and straightforward compliance solutions. But data anonymization has not taken off in practice because it is anything but simple to implement. For one, it requires making complex choices which are case dependent, such as the domain of the dataset to anonymize; the units to protect; the scope where the data protection should extend to; and …

Artificial Intelligence in Breast Cancer Care: Transforming Preoperative Planning and Patient Education with 3D Reconstruction
Effective preoperative planning requires accurate algorithms for segmenting anatomical structures across diverse datasets, but traditional models struggle with generalization. This study presents a novel machine learning methodology to improve algorithm generalization for 3D anatomical reconstruction beyond breast cancer applications. We processed 120 retrospective breast MRIs (January 2018-June 2023) through three phases: anonymization and manual segmentation of T1-weighted and dynamic contras…

South Sudan and Israel
are discussing a deal
to resettle Palestinians
from war-torn Gaza
in the troubled African nation,
three sources told Reuters
- a plan quickly dismissed as unacceptable by Palestinian leaders.
The sources, who have knowledge of the matter but spoke on condition of anonymity,
said no agreement had been reached but talks between South Sudan and Israel were ongoing.
The plan, if carried further,
would envisage pe…
