Lemme get this straight: the man who led the Liberals—#Australia's more conservative major party, natch—to the worst defeat in its 60 year history wants to legally suppress the internal inquiry into its risible electoral performance because… it may suggest he was in some part responsible?
And not, say, the mythical Communist fifth column the snowflake Right routinely blames for its poor s…

Vom Metaverse zur KI-Offensive: Mark Zuckerberg will Feeds, die nicht nur zeigen, sondern erzeugen. Du tippst einen Prompt, bekommst eine Welt – am besten gleich durch die Brille betrachtet. Social Media wird zur Bühne, auf der die KI Regie führt. Eintritt künftig wohl mit Abo. Meta bleibt sich treu: Visionär im Geschäftsmodell, blind für Verantwortung.

Fed up with not being able to visit the "Live Feeds" tab without instantly encountering explicit pornography.
It's because of the porn that many people didn't stay on Masto after leaving X, but went to BlueSky instead.
It must say something about me that my social media feeds are chock full of stuff about tonight’s concert but almost nothing about the sporting event surrounding it.
Related: I went to Trader Joe’s and it was overrun with snack wanters for tonight’s viewing.
Israel hacked Tehran's traffic cameras and used the surveillance feeds to plan an assassination. That makes me feel just great about all the Flock cameras, Ring cameras, and Waymo cameras on SF streets.

@… I also think that as a stop gap it would help if both proects offered some official API to query what the latest version is and perhaps offered RSS/ATOM feeds of updates so that knowledgeable users could subscribe to that and be notified right away, direct from the source.
If you’re rich, I don’t like you. If you’re rich and help the poor, I still don’t like you. If you’re rich and wish you weren’t, I can understand that, but it doesn’t change anything.

It’s charity dressed up as justice, and it only makes you look generous while the structure that feeds your power stays firm.
