How many times do we have to remind people: the chatbot *cannot* admit to *anything*. It *doesn't know*. When you ask it about itself, it generates its answer the same way it generates your request that it write an email. It takes what you tell it and responds in way to sound plausible.

"Being able to put a name to something abstract allows you to more easily build an argument about it [...] Don’t let inevitabilism frame the argument and take away your choice."

Denmark to tackle deepfakes by giving people copyright to their own features Amendment to law will strengthen protection against digital imitations of people’s identities, government says

“The Danish government is to clamp down on the creation and dissemination of AI-generated deepfakes by changing copyright law to ensure that everybody has the right to their own body, facial features and voice”

I am once again asking for some equivalent to a pop-up blocker that blocks the "would you like AI with that" messages sprouting up like spots of mold in every application

The superintelligent AI is smoke and mirrors. Big corps and states with do atrocious things to humans and blame the AI god. So many will go towards religious psychosis and be radicalized towards fascism. Instead of AI, it's the billionaires benefiting from all this we should be looking at.

Il decreto sicurezza del Governo Meloni e la deriva autoritaria dell'Italia - Valigia Blu Il 29 maggio 2025 la Camera dei Deputati ha approvato con 163 sì, 91 no e un astenuto il cosiddetto “decreto sicurezza”, sul quale il governo Meloni aveva posto la questione di fiducia. Il provvedimen...

Il “decreto sicurezza” è l’ennesimo tassello dell’orbanizzazione dell’Italia.

Norme ad hoc contro i nemici politici, crudeltà verso i più deboli e repressione del dissenso.

La deriva democratica meloniana prosegue sempre più veloce e inesorabile.

Dear @bsky.app devs - I am continually confused by the "Share" button that looks like an "Upload" button.

Please consider using the icon that looks like interconnected nodes, or the swoopy arrow thing.

Thank you!

The Kremlin just now: “Russia has no territorial claims against the Baltic countries.

“Russia does not intend to attack anyone.”

The Kremlin 2014: “Russia has no territorial claims against Ukraine.

“Russia does not intend to attack anyone.”

BTW, most people think they don't need to understand whether or Bluesky is decentralized, a claim they make.

Here's why you should care.

If Bluesky gets a govt order to shut down your account, they can.

That's it. That's how you know it's centralized and why you should care.

Il video satirico di Luca Bottura e la storia dell'Ucraina secondo Alessandro Barbero Il deepfake satirico di Luca Bottura ha evidenziato le distorsioni che Barbero attua da almeno tre anni quando parla dell'invasione dell'Ucraina.

"There is a tendency in media to paint a very symmetrical picture, when the reality is asymmetrical. And I think it's our job to represent the power imbalance in our writing and also to check the facts. And this is not often done when it comes to Israeli actions in Gaza". Yuval Abraham

Knowing CSS is mastery to Frontend Development — Anselm Hannemann

"Nowadays people can write great React and TypeScript code. Most of the time a component library like MUI, Tailwind and others are used for styling. However, nearly no one is able to judge whether the CSS in the codebase is good or far from optimal."

This sounds utterly good!

indeed (I had this aliases for a long time ago, nowadays you could use npkill - although I don't like to have many packages installed as global with npm; wonderful if used temporarily with `npx`)

Unrequested but useful tip here :)

🔎 Search and Show node_modules recursively:
```
find . -name "node_modules" -type d -prune | xargs du -chs
```
🧹 Delete them:
```
find . -name "node_modules" -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '\''{}'\'' +
```

Set them as alias on zsh:

B) Este gobierno nunca tuvo escrúpulos en usar lo que ellos mismos llaman "la guillotina", lo hicieron con gente muy cercana a Milei, echaron como si nada a decenas de funcionarios a la primera (hasta echaron a Marra) ¿Por qué ahora no echan a nadie? Adorni hasta se ofendió cuándo se lo preguntaron.

El creador de Libra afirmó que Karina Milei cobró una coima:

Hay dos cosas muy ciertas al margen de esta noticia:

A) en el pasado, en más de una ocasión, mucha gente dijo que para acceder a Milei tenés que pasar por su hermana

“The reason we face the worst is because it helps us imagine the best.” What a fantastic, hopeful read. Treat yourself to this, and then spread it around.

🧵 This thread sintetize the real timeline of what happened with Milei's scam with #libra memecoin.

(Argentinian goverment is trying to manipulate this timeline through media by reporting screenshots captured on different timezones)

Esto se pone cada vez mejor
