Kirche will genau so wenig wie alle anderen öffentlichen Organisationen eine Verantwortung für die gesellschaftlichen Folgen ihres digitalen Handelns erkennen.
Auch die Kirchen haben ihren Auftrag in Reichweite auf kommerziellen Plattformen umgedeutet.
Wer auf die Verantwortung des Einzelnen gegenüber Gott abstellt, müsste m.E. ein erklärter Gegner algorithmisch kuratierter Medien sein.
@GRN
Bezügl der Verantwortung sehe ich das auch so.
Allerdings lehne ich Algorithmen nicht generell ab.
Man könnte ja auch sinnvolle bauen und die Arbeitsweise transparent machen. 🙂
Und das ist für mich der Punkt. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass sich Kirchen, angesichts der nachgewiesenen problematischen Wirkung der jetzigen gängigen Systeme auf die Gesellschaft, entsprechend eingebracht hätten. Es sind meistens nur wenige kirchliche Einzelinitativen, die praktisch zeigen, dass es auch anders geht.
Wäre eine der Möglichkeiten der #digitaleKirche nicht, sich z.B. der Initiative #SaveSocial anzuschließen und dies auch in den Gemeinden zu thematisieren?
Rust coreutils v0.5.0, passes 87% of the gnu coreutils test.
It‘s an achievement for the project. Congrats. It does pose questions why Ubuntu thinks it good enough for everyone, though.
*reading on*: 566 tests are passing…
What? The complete gnu coreutils has only 650 tests? For 79 commands?🤪

"You will marry whoever you pick at the Royal Ball," the king told the princess.
"We'll hold another Ball," the king said. "Pick anyone of noble birth."
"We'll hold a third Ball," the king said. "Pick a man of noble birth."
"Wait," the queen said. "Maybe she doesn't even want to marry."
"What?"

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Globalisation 🌍 
On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm to restrict your reach to your own country or region when you post.
Additionally, many people post in English, even when it's not their native language.
If you post a comment or question
that is related to a specific region of the world, please specify which one, and don't assume people worldwide will know this acronym or reference.
You will have a better chance to
get the answers you seek, and more boosts from people living in different regions of the world.
Also consider adding a hashtag relevant to the country or region you are posting about.
Keep in mind the Fediverse is global! 🌏🌍🌎✨
Still exploring OpenStreetMap data with this map of sundials in Europe.
#openstreetmap
There are in fact many more sundials. If you know one around you, please mark it on on openstreetmap.org/
Well... is it a map of sundials or a map of OSM contributors?🤔 Anyway, congratulations to northern Italy!

I don't know the technology behind this BS, but screen readers see it as scrambled text, kind of encrypted or something like this. I guess it's some font juggling (ChatGPT supposed it's gliph scrambling, where random Unicode values are mapped to random letters — I'll trust her in this because I really don't care about the tech behind it), but if you have a tiny little grain of empathy, never ever ever do this, for goodness sake.

hm-m, that sounds familiar… ah. Yeah. I've heard of this trick before.
Russia's Central Election Commission (ЦИК) pulled the same stunt with its website during the election, when that website published intermediate results, under the pretense of "preventing the system from crashing from unprecedented attacks"; I had to look up the date when exactly, seems to be 2021, which feels about right:
forbes.ru/tekhnologii/440479-p…
How was this supposed prevent any attacks and what *kinds* of attacks even is beyond me to this day. LLMs did not exist back then. Or in the very least weren't anywhere near as capable.
Памфилова объяснила кодирование результатов выборов на сайте ЦИК
Центризбирком закодировал результаты выборов на своем сайте, чтобы «система не вылетела» из-за обрушившихся на нее «беспрецедентных атак», заявила Элла Памфилова. Ранее эксперты обратили внимание, что копировать данные с сайта ЦИК стало невозможно, пТимур Батыров (Forbes.ru)
In #Safari on an #iPhone going to the link I see... something that resembles a blog, but tapping the "reader view" I get the following, proving the point of the headline. If we can't read it, an #AI #Bot can't scrape it.

George Clooney is an actor.
Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.
Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.

RE: mastodon.social/@AwetTesfaiesu…
Habe eine tolle DM bekommen, die ich natürlich nicht teilen werde. Aber ich möchte dazu noch etwas sagen. Als Anwältin, die in ihrem Berufsleben reichlich (!) #Sozialrecht gemacht hat, halte ich mich für qualifiziert, zu sagen: Die Diskussion um #Sanktionen und Sozialleistungen wäre eine andere, wenn mehr Menschen eine Ahnung hätten, wie sich #Hartz4 ganz konkret anfühlt; zuhause in den Familien, an prekären Arbeitsplätzen, in den Schulen, in der Psyche der Betroffenen und deren Familien

I clicked on a link and started reading. It read like a thoughtful interview from years passed...
And then I read this question: "You passed away on your eighty-eighth birthday – 4th August 2020. Do you reflect on mortality?"
What the fuck?
At the end of the article:
"Editorial note: This interview transcript is a work of dramatised historical reconstruction. Frances Allen died on 4th August 2020, and cannot speak. The words, reflections, and responses attributed to her in this document are constructed from historical records, published interviews, biographical materials, technical papers, and documented accounts of her life and work – but they are not her actual words, spoken in real time."
Tell me you used AI without telling me you used AI.
ALSO, this was "written" by a MAN dramatizing the perspective of a woman pioneer in computer science. He's got a whole series on dead woman.
FUCK RIGHT THE FUCK OFF.
That feeling of shame and waste when you bake a cherry pie and notice "sucralose" in the ingredients list for the filling you bought as a time saver.
It was just as gross as you could imagine. I've got no idea why a store would sell such an abomination.

For Pluribus fans, the song from the most recent episode is "Esperanza" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez."

You're welcome.
This show is so well written and made. Levels.👍🏿
A US character upgrades from a cop car to a Rolls, while a South American one downgrades from a convertible to walking the Darién gap?

(Rare work post, you know what I do)
Yes I'm a fan of the creative team that produces Pluribus. Yes, it's an Apple TV show. Because yes, Android users can get the Apple TV App on Google Play, subscribe to it, and watch the show.
Yes I still ask the interview question "Do you like creative people?"
The X-Files producers had a problem: Season 1 was a big hit, but where would they get ideas for another 24 episodes for season 2?
A sci-fi nerd / Twilight zone fan from Virginia went to film school, saw season 1 of the X-Files, and thought it was the coolest show ever. He wrote a fan script for it.
The X-Files producers saw his fan script, and said "This is really good!" So they hired him to be a writer for X-Files season two.
He worked on the X-Files for 7 years.
Then he had a weird idea for a disturbed show about a high school chemistry teacher that becomes a meth dealing drug kingpin.
Great Movies and TV, are made by great Movie and TV makers. Creative people, working together, to produce something new.
Human beings love stories. Some of us go so far as to say that human beings need stories.
Sometimes I think that people forget that our role is to support creative people.
I've never met Vince Gilligan. I don't know him personally. I don't know if he's a nice person.
I only know his work.
Or more accurately, the output of his work. The tiny bit that makes it through all the rough drafts and bad takes, and didn't get cut in editing, and that studios released.
And I know that he didn't produce his shows by himself. He was part of a team, that is in turn part of an entire ecosystem of people and companies and organizations that support the production of creative work that we all enjoy.
I like creative people, and the ecosystem that supports them.
No Twilight Zone? No X-Files.
No X-Files? No Breaking Bad.
No Breaking Bad? No Pluribus.
It's easy to see how the world would be missing something if those never happened.
What's harder to see, is that there are other stories that didn't happen because we didn't support Black producers in 1959.
Visited Winchester Christmas Market this afternoon. It was very busy and crowded but mostly nice to just see the pretty lights and have a massively overpriced but very tasty sausage roll.
However, it was pretty disappointing to see that I couldn’t get to 90% of the stalls.
I get that it’s on historic ground and there are limits to what they can do but I feel like they could’ve done a bit more to make it accessible.
Most of the stalls were up a large step. I could see what they had from a distance but I couldn’t get to most of them to view things up close.
