3D forest semantic segmentation using multispectral LiDAR and 3D deep learning
Conservation and decision-making regarding forest resources necessitate regular forest inventory. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in laser scanning systems has gained significant attention over the past two decades as a remote and non-destructive solution to streamline the labor-intensive and time-consuming procedure of forest inventory. Advanced multispectral (MS) LiDAR systems simultaneously acquire three-dimensional (3D) spatial and spectral information across multiple wavelengths of the…

Processing of synthetic data in AI development for healthcare and the definition of personal data in EU law
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform healthcare, but it requires access to health data. Synthetic data that is generated through machine learning models trained on real data, offers a way to share data while preserving privacy. However, uncertainties in the practical application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) create an administrative burden, limiting the benefits of synthetic data. Through a systematic analysis of relevant legal sources and an empirical …

@… that's exactly my point. While GDPR maybe doesn't apply to some "quote posts" feature, the spirit of the laws in EU go into giving control of how the user data is being used back to the user. Ergo, opt-in should be default choice when designing features like this.
EDIT: nevermind, now I read my original post again and I totally miss-wrote th…

German court rules Meta tracking technology violates European privacy laws
The court in Leipzig ruled that Meta must pay €5,000 ($5,900) to a German Facebook user who sued the platform for embedding tracking technology in third-party websites — a ruling that could open the door to other lawsuits.

Gadver, wat een morele verrotting. Iedereen kruipt voor de oranje idioot.

Having off-site backups of your data is a good idea, they said. There exist cloud storage providers with open (NextCloud) standards, they said. Some have the servers located within the jurisdiction of GDPR, they said. You can encrypt on client-side with rclone to maintain privacy, they said. They didn't mention transferring my data over my ADSL uplink would take two months and slow my interactive internet use to a crawl in the meantime.

Rädda Valhallabadet! I have spent so many enjoyable hours of my life in this lovely public swimhall from the 1950s. Goteborg would not be Goteborg without it. Please sign this petition to save it from unnecessary demolition:

Rädda Valhallabadet!
Valhallabadet är inte bara en byggnad med stora kulturhistoriska och arkitektoniska värden utan Göteborgs första och enda demokratiska centralbad med en halv miljon besökare varje år.  Att riva ett fullt fungerande badhus för att bygga ett nytt på samma ställe strider dessutom mot de klimatmål- och hållbarhetsmål som vi har förbundit oss att leva upp till nationellt såväl som lokalt.

Die Verarbeitung medizinischer Forschungsdaten ohne datenschutzrechtliche Einwilligung: Der Korridor zwischen Anonymisierung und der Forschungsausnahme in Österreich
Modern, data-driven medical research requires the processing of sensitive health data on a large scale. However, this data is subject to special protection under the GDPR, which is why processing regularly raises data protection concerns in practice. These concerns are particularly prevalent when sensitive personal data is processed without informed consent. This article analyses options for data processing in the field of medical research without consent and describes the legal framework for a…
