Whelp. After successfully monopolizing many types of online chat, Discord has added "AI" to the basic chat feature. *Every* image attachment now has an "AI" button with features to "restyle" or "roast"(??) that image.

No user control exists:
- You can't remove it from your own UI.
- You can't remove it from posts you made.
- You can't ban it from a server you run.

Just mandatory ocean boiling for everyone. Bluesky link explains how to give Discord "feedback" about this

#Panoramax - das neue #StreetView!

Vor einigen Jahren wurde #Mapillary an #Meta verkauft. Und auch #Google StreetView möchte vielleicht nicht jeder nutzen.

Mit Panoramax gibt es nun eine #FOSS Alternative. Sie soll dezentral organisiert werden. Dies ist meines Wissens die erste Instanz:

panoramax.openstreetmap.fr
Kleiner Tipp:
Falls man das AdOn #ClearURLs verwendet, kommt man eventuell über die Animation wegen Blockierung von ETags nicht hinaus. Deshalb nutze ich Panoramax als #Firefox-PWA am Desktop.

#OSM #OpenStreetMap

The US Federal Department of Elon Musk run by Defense Contractor Elon Musk, after extensive expert analysis by totally non-biased expert Elon Musk, has determined that the FAA is severely lacking in sufficient Elon Musk and as a result has contracted with Elon Musk to provide more Elon Musk.

Elon Musk speaking for Elon Musk assures the public that in Elon Musk's opinion this is totally not a conflict of interest for Elon Musk.

It is now illegal to transmit personal information of EU citizens to cloud infrastructure in the #US as they won't be protected by the #GDPR.

Many European service providers will have to move quickly to avoid fines, but eventually #EU data will be held in the EU, benefiting companies in Europe, and supporting #DigitalSovereignty.

That means AWS, Azure, Google and iCloud can lose a sizeable chunk of their customer base if no moves are made. I am all for it.

That widget that shows the estimated reading time left in your posts? Yeah, you don’t need it. It was probably lying anyway.

Weird how often we over-engineer stuff that doesn’t really do anything.

And the trend of gaming layoffs and shutdowns continues as WB just closed Monnalyth Games, and cancelled the Wonder Woman game said Studio was working on. Monallyth was also the place where the person leading accessibility on God of War went to work after that game came out, so I was really curious to see how accessible that wonder woman game would be. Sadly we'll now never find out and more people lost their jobs. kotaku.com/monolith-production…
