IIRC the thing is, you first present the key to the structure in some simple form, and then the rest of the data can be more complex.

Sincerely, great work there! Let’s all become leftists that do something.

I am also concerned of AI-slop, so thanks for sharing. However, I do not think the headline here does justice to the article. There is a more interesting message in there. First of all, the study concerned new content, not all of the internet. Second, and more important, the researchers seemed to have found some kind of a saturation point for AI slop, where it’s share of new content was not rising anymore. I think it would be crucial to understand the mechanisms behind this current limitation of AI slop, and whether they could be utilized to combat AI slop in the future.

Added another wordpress instance to our server (all docker-compose). The craziest thing happened where the second site was kind of working but broken in very strange ways. Well, turns out that for the second site Caddy was pointed to the files of the first instance while passing php_fastcgi to the new one 🤯 😵‍💫 What’s more, having different relative paths for the Caddy container and the wordpress container was not as simple as I thought it was. The devil (the hours of debugging) is always in the details. Managed to solve it in the end!

I love to cheer for linux (Fedora user here 😎) but the math and logic in the blog post is off. Firstly, the linux desktop-share for US government websites is much higher, because to calculate it, you have to exclude iOS and Android. But then again, the data may be skewed and linux-users may just be much more prominent visitors of US government websites. I think this sounds credible as many linux users are technically apt and active citizens.

Nevertheless, if the trend is true it is encouraging! Cannot verify because analytics.usa.gov only provides data a calendar year into the past by default and I can’t be bothered to get an api key to see if more can be fetched.

The real desktop linux share for the last 30 days can be calculated:

windows = 33.2

macos = 11.6

linux = 6.9

linux / (windows + macos + linux) = 0.13346228

Joplin is an awesome FOSS note app and alternative to Obsidian. Love it, I use WebDAV to link between devices. Lots of plugins for extra functionality as well.

I’d love to like Tuta but man was using their service a constant pain. The search is incredibly slow for any messages not downloaded and keyword matching is somehow weird, the spam filter fails terribly (my spam folder was always full of legitimate messages), assigning rules is clumsy, and you can’t even bulk export mail to switch services:((

The tweet that seemed to be bootlicking Trump was worrying and troubling in my opinion as well. However, reading this deeper analysis alleviated at least some of my fears https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e

Also the foundation model decisively limits the influence of the founder. There seems to be no other European email service that’s quite on par with Proton. Therefore I still think they are the top alternative.

I hope so. Although I’m not sure whether it is solarpunk or some other term under which the ideas will be popularized (eg. degrowth, eco-socialism, minor paradise, doughnut economy, ecological civilization). But I find it likely that solarpunk will be packaged together with communism, as communism, by the right. And demonized.

Just adopted Joplin (FOSS all the way) for notes on desktop and mobile, using my own Seafile instance as the cloud service through webdav. Very happy with it so far, be it short and quick or long and complex notes.

Also using Zotero for bibliography management and related notes, also backing up to Seafile webdav. Joplin and Zotero also play together, but haven’t tried that out yet.
