#metalvsukni den 27 - Básnířka Chaosu a Revoluce: Otep Shamaya

Otep Shamaya není jen zpěvačka, je to živelná pohroma a jedna z nejprovokativnějších postav amerického nu-metalu.

Gut beobachtet. Allerdings nur ein ganz kleiner exemplarischer Ausschnitt des Gesamtbildes der Entwicklung.

Man wäre gut beraten, auf allen Ebenen der Politik auf die Ränder zu schauen. Sie sind mitunter die Vorboten dessen, was sich Jahre später in den Zentren zeigt:

#Osten #Politik #Strukturentwicklung #fehlendeBildungsangebote #Abwanderung #ÖPNV #Kultur uvm.

Ausschnitte der Wirklichkeit - eine Kolumne aus Saalfeld-Rudolstadt

Ein blauer Trabant 500, besetzt mit zwei Uniformierten, pendelte zum Jahrestag der Grenzöffnung zwischen Grenze und Kulturhaus in Lehesten. Nostalgie ersetzt Geschichte.

^{Thomas Spanier (Ostthüringer Zeitung)}

I try not to involve myself with politics, but I just can't say something to this.

Seems I will not be visiting the USA any time soon if this revision to the ESTA system or Form I-94 is actually inacted.

This is the information they will be asking for, if this comes to pass. In particular point I is the most scary:

a. Telephone numbers used in the last five years;
b. Email addresses used in the last ten years;
c. IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos;
d. Family member names (parents, spouse, siblings, children);
e. Family number telephone numbers used in the last five years;
f. Family member dates of birth;
g. Family member places of birth;
h. Family member residencies;
i. Biometrics—face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris;
j. Business telephone numbers used in the last five years;
k. Business email addresses used in the last ten years.

Still using nvi on Slackware.

No plugins. No syntax highlighting. Just speed, predictability, and classic vi behavior, even with multi-GB files.

I wrote a short guide explaining why nvi still matters and how its architecture enables fast, low-memory editing.

With this week floor crossing and the Beaverton, what I wrote 2 weeks ago checks out.

I get the feeling that the band Terra Glitch is actually AI generated music. It's really well done, so I'm not sure, but the fact that all of their albums were released in the last 18 months makes the idea that it is not AI less plausible to me...

They are my new favorite band... I'm just not sure. Maybe very prolific?

If I were on #spotify, I’d cancel my subscription/account immediately.

King Gizzard pulled their music from the platform so Spotify has replaced it with #AI knockoffs of their music. As if paying almost nothing for streaming wasn’t evil enough, they’re now using LLMs trained on stolen content to pay artists nothing at all.

King Gizzard Pulled Their Music From Spotify in Protest, and Now Spotify Is Hosting AI Knockoffs of Their Songs

An impersonator appears to be using generative AI to poorly clone rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's iconic sound on Spotify.

I did something exciting this week! I relaunched my company website: futureethics.ai

It says, boldly, that we want to build ethical and sustainable pro-labor businesses that are pro people and the earth. It's scary to put that out in words because I feel like such an optimistic or naive person. But I don't know how else I can be.

I also started a Mastodon server just for work: @index

Over there, I will talk more about work, ideas, ethics, provide updates.

This post should give you an idea of how I'm structuring this: futureethics.ai/our-2026-busin…
