I try to be thorough and as generous as I can manage, particularly in my long-form AI-critic writing, but this video articulates something a bit less diplomatic: ultimately using it strikes me as somewhat shameful and embarrassing. But Dr. Collier puts it better than I can.

Based on my reading of the original Nature blog post, it seems to me that the ChatGPT UI was less than clear about what turning off the data consent flag would do to *existing* data. So I blame OpenAI, not the professor. I think it's misleading to state, as Dr. Collier does here, that he clicked a "delete" button without realizing what it would do, and especially to take that as evidence of brain rot. We need to be careful not to succumb to confirmation bias.
For anyone using Fenrir stable version, version 2026.01.28 has just been released. In this version you will need to recreate your settings file, sorry about that, it was part of a huge refactor/cleanup. On the bright side, settings names are all uniform now without mixed case.

I'll never not be angry about how labor proved to the world that remote work is basically as good as in person work 6 years ago, and allows the corp to recruit from anywhere, and yet so many places have just said "actually, no, we want everyone back in the office 3-5 days per week because it makes management and extroverts and people who don't have to be the primary caregiver for a dependant sad".
In FastSM, Tweesecake, and other blindness-specific clients, there's an odd problem. If I open a URL, there's a very good chance that NVDA will simply say "unknown". The URL opens, and Firefox gets focus, but I have to alt-tab away and back before NVDA will see that Firefox and my webpage exist. Sometimes, this doesn't happen at all. I don't know if it's the Python library used to open URLs, or something with NVDA, or a problem in Firefox, or a combination, or something else entirely.
Fortinet would like you to know that they've released a patch to fix a problem that let any forticloud account access any other fortinet device that used forticloud for authentication. You may express thanks now.
The bing behaviour described by neocities i.e. exclusion of site + surfacing unofficial / malicious clone sites is the exact same issue we saw a few years back.
We eventually resolved it after signing up to bings' webmaster tools and manually requesting crawls - and I marked it up as a fluke.
Seeing that it wasn't a one off, I have to conclude that Bing is a terrible search engine that will sometimes just censor sites while sending you to possibly-malicious clones.

Heading home today after an epic week and a half of aerial image capture - lots, and lots, and lots of photos (maybe 80TB delivered this week alone!); managing to access some very hard to reach airspace.
We've run the aircraft down to it's 100 hour service, so I have some time over the next N=? days for projects!
- cartography design - open geospatial coaching / training with a QGIS/Python/bash focus - field research ops planning and support - drone mapping / photography

Reach out. I'm very very happy to help.
I'm focused on Australia/ Oceania, I can point you to others if you're in Europe / Scandinavia / east Asia / Americas

Langer Post, #Sharkey -Erfahrungen eines Mastodonten

Das hier ist Teil 2 meiner Erfahrungssammlung mit Sharkey. - Man kann Leute zu Listen hinzufügen, ohne ihnen zu folgen. - Statt nur schnöder Bookmarks gibt es hier: Favoriten und Clips. Clips sind sowas wie Lesezeichen-Sammlungen, man kann also seine Lesezeichen thematisch sortieren. Und falls gewünscht, diese auch öffentlich teilen. - Ich kann hier definieren, wie mein "Standard-Emoji" aussieht, mit dem ich auf eure Posts reagiere. Also statt des Sterns reagiere ich so: , ausser, ich will spezifisch anders reagieren. Dann kann ich mit jedem Emoji, dass mir hier so zur Vergügung steht, reagieren. Aber das hab ich ja schon im Teil 1 erwähnt. Ist halt einfach zu schade, dass ihr das nicht seht. Stellt euch das bitte künftig einfach irgendwas mit Kühen vor, wenn ich was von euch Fave (Weil ja, @monkee hat extra Kühe für mich hinzugefügt ) - Antennen: Das ist sowas ähnliches wie Hashtags folgen, bloss ausgeklügelter. Ich kann eine Liste von Stichworten und/oder Hashtags erstellen, und in eine Antenne packen. Also z.B. alles, was mir so an Kuh-Stichworten einfällt in eine Kuh-Antenne. Entsprechend hab ich in meinem Deck jetzt ne Spalte mit Kuh-Content. - App fürs Smartphone: Nutze ich derzeit nicht, Browser (resp. diesen auf den Startbildschirm "installieren") funktioniert für mich ganz gut, und bietet naturgemäss alle Funktionen, die Sharkey so bietet. Was bei mir nicht funktioniert, theoretisch aber wohl funktionieren könnte, sind Benachrichtgungen (Pushs). Kann an Vanadium liegen (nutze GrapheneOS). Oder an meiner Unfähigkeit. Ob es Apps gäbe? Nun, gefunden habe ich keine, die Dokumentation gab mir darauf auch keine Hinweise, oder ich hab die Hinweise überlesen. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass jene Apps, die mit Misskey funktionieren, auch für Sharkey funktionieren. Wenn man sich die aber anschauen will, stösst man vor allem mal auf viele japanische Zeichen. Also hab ich aufgegeben, und bin mit der Variante über den Browser happy genug. Die alten Haie und Haiinnen dürfen gerne korrigieren und/oder ergänzen. Ich erhebe keinerlei Anspruch auf Allwissen und Vollständigkeit. Für alle, die Teil 1 verpasst haben, hier nochmals zum Nachlesen: other.li/notes/ahssjgz8xe

Mir gefällt an Sharkey besonders gut, dass Antworten auf Posts oder fortgeführte Threads nicht so zusammenhanglos in die Timeline geworfen werden, sondern immer der vorige Post gleich mit angezeigt wird. So erschließt sich der Zusammenhang besser und man hat weniger Klickerei oder Sucherei.
Apropos Suche, die ist nicht so doll. Da muss ich oft auf meinen Mastodon-Account ausweichen.

Google Status: unchanged. We're still being blamed for an allegedly malicious file that doesn't even exist on the server. Reevaluation requests still failing (taking more than 24h each).
Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repository and turn off that allegedly Safe Browsing in your browsers, if you can. Seems to be fake.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
So yeah, USB ports in Windows have a memory of what you jammed in them and the list can become extensive. I just ran this nifty little utility called Device Cleaner and it found 166 non-present USB devices. I deleted them all with this utility and now my computer seems happier. It's sort of like cutting your hair I guess. You can download this from Major Geeks right here: majorgeeks.com/files/details/d…
Almost every single programming project I touch, for work or otherwise, eventually either turns into an adventure in web scraping or an adventure in dealing with arbitrary and user-defined data schemas.

Elektroautos gelten als sauberste Alternative zum Verbrenner. Dabei wird ein noch klimafreundlicheres Fahrzeug oft vergessen: das E-Bike. Studien zeigen: E-Bikes sparen mehr Ressourcen, verursachen deutlich geringere CO2-Emissionen und beschleunigen die Verkehrswende stärker als die Elektrifizierung des Autoverkehrs.
