This is interesting, but it doesn’t represent the reality for one simple reason : 3 months in social media is a snapshot in a much more complicated issue. Second, the elephant in the room is the fact most of the societal harm done by big tech platforms (and their ever changing algorithms) has been done progressively in the last 15 years. The drill has been done already. A lost of the most impacted people are not even using Facebook daily anymore. Continue reading →

Context : someone in a survivors support group was asking this question and this was my reply, I’m archiving it on my blog in the hope people stop looking for guru’s, stop losing their discernment in their spiritual journey. What makes a good History teacher? What makes a good social science teacher? Why should we abandon the requirements and expectations we expect and demand from mentors, teachers and give the guru so much power over ourselves, over our lives, over what defines the quest for a spiritual journey?

So today, with the assistance of #openAI ChatGPT I built a python script to monitor my servers for errors, tasks that do not finish well, containers that become unresponsive etc.. It use python to monitor logs in the filesystem of the Host, when some error match the defined events it triggers a #n8n webhook that relay the JSON payload to ntfy.sh I have then ntfy.sh mobile app with me or on the desktop and I’m subscribed to Topics that allow me to categorize the event errors and from a glance on my phone, have a pretty neat idea of what’s happening in 2 seconds, allowing me to react quickly and adapt to the situation.

Chiffres erronés, partage de vidéos sorties de leur contexte, d’images tirées de films ou de fausses lettres… la mort du jeune Nahel M. et les émeutes qu’elle a déclenchées ont une nouvelle fois mis au jour l’usage des réseaux sociaux en matière de désinformation. www.lessurligneurs.eu/emeutes-a… Continue reading →

The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power “under the guise of ‘super-patriotism’ and ‘super-Americanism.'” And they would use three techniques: kottke.org/23/05/fig… Continue reading →

And now the veteran Tweetdeck is going behind Blue “Verified” jail in less than 30 days.. It’s really great how Musk keeps destroying #Twitter More people for the fediverse, like it or not, but this has been the best catalyzer to move people away from big tech. Yes Meta will retain some of the bleeding, it’s unavoidable! Better than Musk anyway. At this stage, everything should be done to empty Twitter. Continue reading →

Je crache ce texte en mode un peu coup de gueule sur ce qui tourne en loop sur quelques médias, quelques chaînes de TV et quelques “personnalités politiques” qui se la joue “bon père de famille”, sans parler d’un certain syndicats neofasciste près à partir en guerre pour instrumentaliser la séquence à des fins politiques, bref, à gerber. Moi ça me fait bien sarcasmer cette histoire qui se raconte en France dans les médias depuis quelques jours… que les émeutes c’est la faute des parents qui ne savent pas tenir leurs ados.

Mémoire Ils peuvent essayer de nous décrédibiliser, commander des “preuves” forgées sur commande par d’ancien adeptes mais Ils n’auront pas nos esprits, nos vies, nos vécus et même si à la fin ils gardent nos photos, nos lettres, nos commentaires Facebook, ça ne sera que pour mieux contempler leur défaite. Demain, une k7 áudio monologue de Robert Spatz de 1h au Palais de Justice de Liège, suivi d’un audio de 17 minutes pour se justifier de la débilité de son monologue. Continue reading →

Thinking about Hacker News but sprinkled with #activitypub imagine being able to reply and participate in any #HN post from the #fediverse and with #webmentions have fediverse comments mingled with native HN activity. Nodebb Discourse + Lemmy #kbin and we shift the balance back in the open web. Continue reading →

so much emotions while watching this movie, scenes of of violence that triggers very bad memories and harsh realities of parenting that I never knew but in my own way suffered for their radical absence. It’s really awkward for me to think about my own education environment (born inside a toxic cult ) with elemtary teachers that were average, some were very bad, It was a very closed environment like only coercive communities can be, it’s a paradox that we were at the same time neglected but also sparred from our own parents only to be violented by strangers that were to be considered “the family”.

Quand une démocratie dégénérative se retrouve à faire des Listes pour dissoudre un ensemble d’associations de faits en utilisant la loi #separatisme, conçue exprès pour démembrer la contestation social en utilisant le terrorisme pour criminaliser des mouvements sociaux, c’est la fin des haricots. Ça ne peut que partir en dérive sectaire politique. La France des Lumières se mue chaque jour un peu plus en France des ténèbres tout en organisant un théâtre sécuritaire et répressif pour manipuler “l’opinion publique”, elle même otage d’une concentration de média jamais autant monopolisée, histoire de faire le même coup qui s’est fait sur #NDDL depuis 50 ans : stigmatiser et jeter le discrédit sur des luttes dont la forme nous divise (ou pas) mais des luttes et des actions nécessaires face à la paralysie organisée et intentionelle qui caractérise les actions des gouvernements depuis… Au mois 28 ans #COP28 Continue reading →

Twitter’s recent decision under new owner Elon Musk to charge more than $500,000 annually for a once-free tool to analyze posts on the platform is hampering disinformation and war crimes research, and could slow rescue efforts during natural disasters, according to experts and nonprofit groups. archive.is/202306201… Continue reading →

La première fois que j’ai lu “un étranger en terre étrange” ça m’a fasciné, je devais avoir 17 ou 18 ans, j’étais encore dans la secte et mon passe temps favoris, avant d’acquérir un ordinateur, c’était dévorer des bibliothèques, j’étais tombé sur un tas de bouquin de SF, il y avait du Azimov, Heinlein et d’autres auteurs américains et français, tous traduit en portugais, j’ai ouvert la porte de la SF et je savais plus m’arrêter de lire.

According to Casey Newton, “It seems also notable that Reddit is moving to centralize control of its ecosystem at the precise time that the rest of industry has begun to explore more federated models. When even Meta is preparing to launch a decentralized social network, it’s fair to ask whether Reddit has misread the moment.” www.platformer.news/p/reddit-… Continue reading →

Well well well, #Spoutible launch its #android app play.google.com/store/app… The one thing I like about all this?

Retrouvé un artefact d’un autre temps en vidant un panier de linge sale (étrange n’est il pas ?) mis de côté pour le brûler avec d’autres éléments intoxiqués pour après le procès en appel. Contexte : ce cordon, plus généralement sans la partie tressée était “donné” a tout les nouveaux nés avec leur “nom tibétain” attribué par Robert Spatz en fonction de son humeur et souvent de son invention, ce cordon accompagnait l’enfant, puis l’adolescent toute sa vie, encore une déformation de l’utilisation du cordon de refuge bouddhiste au profit d’une féodalité et une adoration de la personne de Robert Spatz alias Lama Kunzang.
