I now have confirmation from 12 different organizations (+2 pending) that will send representatives to the #Hamburg #H5P Happening. Looking forward to meeting all of them!

How I hate those pesky IT tool providers that harvest email addresses from github and spam you - and then, when asked about it, pretend they had looked at my profile (I explicitly state I don't want such crap mails) and ensure they handle personal information with care and only have best […]

Who knows? Maybe next year, we'll see a "Hamburg H5P Happening" in the form of a BarCamp with an international audience - and maybe you'll be there, too!

I'd like to let you know that I (SNORDIAN) am hosting a local #H5P event in October, although it won't be public this time.
Representatives of German companies, universities, and organizations that have funded H5P-related open-source development in the past will discuss what they think H5P […]

Trying to contribute a plugin to the #WordPress repository ... Three weeks of back and forth and changes later they tell me I can't. Thanks for wasting my time. My motivation to do anything related to WordPress in the future is slim.

Orange cat with long white whiskers and huge black eyes stares up from the inside of her cat condo.
Meet Crookshanks aka Crookers aka Crookleberry…. an orange tabby who showed up on our acreage last Fall. I built her an insulated, heated enclosure inside our large shed so she could survive the -40° winter— including adding a maze like front entrance with three […]

And with one motion you made the commons richer and prettier! Never too late to share openly, it’s less effort than locking things up.

iNaturalist is a website that crowdsources pictures of plants and animals to help identify species. Its tagline is “A Community for Naturalists.”
iNaturalist is administered by its own small charity, but the work is done by a huge number of volunteer contributors — a bit like Wikipedia.
Sometimes a charity where volunteers do all the work forgets who does all the work and that these are volunteers, not minions. If someone waves a bit of money at them.
Every year, Google tries to launder its reputation by sending a bit of blood money to charities to greenwash its AI. This year’s round included $1.5 million to iNaturalist, who excitedly announced this on Twitter (and nowhere else). [_Google_; _Twitter_]
The volunteers — the ones who do all the work — were less than delighted. [_iNat forum_]
Two days later, iNaturalist explained the grant: [_blog post_]
> By using generative AI (GenAI), we hope to synthesize information about how to distinguish different species and accurately convey that to iNaturalist users.
iNaturalist plans to use a Google chatbot to make up some hallucinations about data that had been uploaded by the volunteers. So how was this AI slop going to be fact-checked?
> We will incorporate a feedback process for the AI-generated identification tips so that we can maintain high standards of accuracy.
That is, the volunteers would work for free to improve Google’s bot. This plan didn’t go down so well.
It turns out people do free work for knowledge because they hold principles and stuff. Many deleted their accounts — which also deletes their observations from iNaturalist — because they didn’t volunteer to feed a lying slop machine that’s an environmental disaster. And they no longer wanted anything to do with a charity so lost it didn’t see why this was not a good idea. [_Scientific American_]
iNaturalist has tried very hard to backpedal without backpedaling. Executive director Scott Loarie posted on the forum: [_iNat forum_]
> I can assure you that I and the entire iNat team hates the AI slop that’s taking over the internet as much as you do.
>
> … there’s no way we’re going to unleash AI generated slop onto the site.
Those are nice words, but AI-generated slop is still explicitly the plan. iNaturalist’s grant deliverable is “to have an initial demo available for select user testing by the end of 2025.”
You can tell what happened — Google promised iNaturalist free money if they would just do something, anything, that had some generative AI in it. iNaturalist forgot why people contribute at all, and took the cash.
The iNaturalist charity is currently “working on a response that should answer most of the major questions people have and provide more clarity.” [_Twitter_]
They’re sure the people who do the work for free hate this whole plan only because there’s not enough “clarity” — and not because it’s a terrible idea.

Dear fellow developers at #GLS: If your tracking system claims that a parcel shipped internationally should be delivered in a 2.5 hours time window from X to Y, but you have not even registered arrival in the destination country by X, don't you think, very conservatively speaking, that's a good […]

Long queue of cars trying to park at Hamburg's Westfield Mall
Der allsamstägliche Wahnsinn in der #HafenCity in #Hamburg. Für Ortskundige: Die Schlange zieht sich bis runter zum Sandtorkai. Hey, ihr Autonarren: Busse und U-Bahn halten direkt am #Westfield, und Drahtesel könnt ihr auch gut unterbringen.

Illustration mit symbolischem Charakter: Zwei stilisierte Personen stehen links und rechts neben einem brennenden Licht in einer Flamme, das aus einer Schachfigur hervorgeht. Über ihnen kreuzen sich drei Pfeile, die nach oben zeigen – eine dritte Person balanciert auf dem mittleren Pfeil. Um sie herum schweben verschiedene Symbole wie ein Bleistift in einer Zielscheibe, ein Rucksack, ein Turnschuh, ein Zahnrad, Wolken und Pfeile, die Bewegung und Entwicklung andeuten. Die Farbpalette ist leuchtend und kontrastreich mit Türkis, Pink und Gelb. Die Szene vermittelt den Eindruck von Entscheidungsfindung, Selbstfindung und Bildungswegen.
Jugendliche in der #Ausbildungsvorbereitung stehen oft vor Entscheidungen, die alles andere als eindeutig sind. Komplexität gehört zu ihrem Alltag – und genau darauf muss Schule reagieren.
Der #H5P -Inhaltstyp Choice Explorer, entwickelt von @otacke bietet […]
