Es gibt viel Reibung zwischen dem Schutz von Grundrechten, oder Freiheitsrechten, einerseits, und dem Schutz vor Gewalt im Netz andererseits. Viele Maßnahmen lehnen wir ab, aus guten Gründen (Uploadfilter, Chatkontrolle, Klarnamenpflicht, Internetsperren.. ). Sicherheitsbehörden greifen immer wieder Grundprinzipien des freien Netzes an.
Aber: Es gibt kaum gute Vorschläge, wie Betroffene von Gewalt im Netz geschützt werden könnten.

Totally normal situation:
Ruh 🐱 is eating from the bowl. Mr Ek 🐱 comes through the window. He walks up to the bowl. She notices him and stops eating to sniff his snout. Ek uses the opportunity to start eating the food. Ruh looks at me surprised.
After a minute, Ruh shouts at him. He answers with a hiss, and continues eating.

- Sayo Yamamoto ("Michiko & Hatchin"; "Yuri!!! On Ice")
- Mari Okada ("Ano Hana: The Flower we Saw That Day"; "Toradora!")
Game designers/programmers:
(Upon review I was pretty remiss in skipping over a few of these people, some of whom I wasn't aware of but most of whom I just didn't remember when writing my short list. Subconscious misogyny in action. Short & Thorson probably would have squeezed out some of the YA authors I included, although I have no real regrets.)
- Junko Kawano ("Suikoden")
- Elizabeth LaPensée ("When Rivers Were Trails")
- Momo Pixel ("Hair Nah")
- Zoë Quinn ("Depression Quest"; narrative designer on "Solar Ash")
- Kellee Santiago ("Cloud"; "Flower")
- Tanya X. Short ("Moon Hunters")
- Kim Swift ("Portal")
- Maddy Thorson ("Celeste")
- Andi McClure @… ("Jumpman")
Note: I haven't included composers or artists here, but there's a deep bench.
Games journalists/steamers:
- Tanya DePass @… (#/INeedDiverseGames; twitch streams)
- Anita Sarkeesian (Feminist Frequency)
Game/play scholars:
- Mary Flanagan ("Critical Play")
- Tracy Fullerton ("Game Design Workshop")
- Brenda Laurel ("Toward the Design of a Computer-Based Interactive Fantasy System")
- Janet Murray ("Hamlet on the Holodeck"l
- Susana Tosca ("A Pragmatics of Links")
- Jichen Zhu ("Agency Play: Dimensions of Agency for Interactive Narrative Design")
- Magy Seif El Nasr ("Design patterns to guide player movement in 3D games")
- Kate Compton ("Causal Creators"; also "Spore")
P.S. upon consideration I've decided not to include any authors who are men in this coda.
There are definitely others who probably deserve to be here that I'm forgetting...

ViReSkill: Vision-Grounded Replanning with Skill Memory for LLM-Based Planning in Lifelong Robot Learning
Robots trained via Reinforcement Learning (RL) or Imitation Learning (IL) often adapt slowly to new tasks, whereas recent Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) promise knowledge-rich planning from minimal data. Deploying LLMs/VLMs for motion planning, however, faces two key obstacles: (i) symbolic plans are rarely grounded in scene geometry and object physics, and (ii) model outputs can vary for identical prompts, undermining execution reliability. We propose ViReSkill,…

Geen idee hoe lang die batterij bescherming al als optie aanwezig was, maar het is natuurlijk een perfecte beveiliging tegen overladen.
😇😇
... Alleen dat taalgebruik. Batterijbescherming als één woord is heel netjes, maar de rest lijkt me zelfs geen goed Vlaams of Zuid Afrikaans. 😅

Por amplia mayoría, el fediverso se ha pronunciado a favor de las publicaciones cortas con enlances al texto completo, cuando se trata de entradas tipo blog. Es la opción que yo también prefiero.
Cuando vengo a mastodon es para leer "microbloggin", o sea, textos breves. Las entradas de blogs, noticias, artículos, reportajes, etc. me gusta verlas publicadas acš, pero con un resumen y un enlace, así voy directo al origen si me interesa leer el texto completo.
