Sehr kreative Übersetzung, vielleicht geistert es bald überall herum hier ;-) 👻

As @onion@feddit.de already said, I cross-posted the article from an Italian-speaking community and didn’t change the link as I noticed that the petition is in English anyway. But it’s perfectly right that there should be correct language setting. I changed the link now. My apologies for the irritation.

I don’t speak this language and have no idea of this culture, but as always we must be careful as any literal translation from one language into another often conveys a different meaning, even when the words are the same.

Among others, the Tourism New Zealand website says about the haka and its origin:

Today, haka is used as a sign of respect and is performed on important occasions, such as sporting events, weddings, funerals, and powhiri (a traditional welcome).

Lorde performs one of her songs also in Maori (the song’s OV is in English, the song is called ‘Solar Power’). You may also be in interested in Olivia Foa’i, a singer who also performs in Gagana Tokelau, the indigenous language of Tokelau, a collection of atolls between Australia and Hawaii, and in this story.

Unfortunately, this is not only your country which is wasting time on meaningless (and sometimes harmful) things. If big (!) business is involved, there is no such thing as a “country” imho. It’s just big corporations and the rest.

Italian Blocking Demands: Following a Bad Example

While [Quad9’s] case in Germany has been found in favor of Quad9, we have been served with another demand from commercial interests in an EU nation to block domain names, again based on alleged copyright violations. Italian legal representatives have presented us with a list of domains and a demand for blocking those domains. Now we must again determine the path to take forward fighting this legal battle, in another nation in which we are neither headquartered nor have any offices or corporate presence.

It doesn’t appear to be limited to racism.

Humans inherit artificial intelligence biases

Artificial intelligence recommendations are sometimes erroneous and biased. In our research, we hypothesized that people who perform a (simulated) medical diagnostic task assisted by a biased AI system will reproduce the model’s bias in their own decisions, even when they move to a context without AI support. In three experiments, participants completed a medical-themed classification task with or without the help of a biased AI system. The biased recommendations by the AI influenced participants’ decisions. Moreover, when those participants, assisted by the AI, moved on to perform the task without assistance, they made the same errors as the AI had made during the previous phase. Thus, participants’ responses mimicked AI bias even when the AI was no longer making suggestions. These results provide evidence of human inheritance of AI bias.

If they can get any non-bluesky-the-company folk to create instances then that’s just scaling they don’t have to pay for and a convenient legal scapegoat for the inevitable consequences of their lax moderation.

Yes. This exactly is their whole business model. There has been a very good article about bluesky around for some time about that fyi.

Just a question: Are the tech managers in Silicon Valley also idiots? I posted the article already, but here’s it again as the thread has become long: https://www.theguardian.com/teacher-network/2015/dec/02/schools-that-ban-tablets-traditional-education-silicon-valley-london

It is doable, but the parents must contribute to that.

Tablets out, imagination in: the schools that shun technology (2015)

In the heart of Silicon Valley is a nine-classroom school where employees of tech giants Google, Apple and Yahoo send their children. But despite its location in America’s digital centre, there is not an iPad, smartphone or screen in sight.

There is a lot of information by the Index of Censorship on the Chinese Communist Party’s subversion of freedom in Europe if interested.

Edit: The person in the link is not me, just to be clear about that.

It works great, but it’s probably not the app for everyday use. It syncs via Tor, and if the internet is down, it syncs via WiFi or Bluetooth which means you can communicate even when natural disasters destroyed the infrastructure or in war-torn areas. For these special use cases of journalists, activists or humanitarian aid workers it is perfect.

"There was no party-politics in this, we all believed that it was unacceptable and that ultimately taxpayers should not have to pay for it. We managed to get the plenary to see the problems. But we never managed to force the leadership of the parliament to listen,” says Bart Staes, a Belgian ex-MEP [who for 20 years was a member of the budget control committee, who says that the risks were known early on.]

This is a gross over-simplification imho. Inflation occurs when the aggregate demand of goods/services at a given price level increases faster than the aggregate supply of goods/services at that given price level. There are a some factors to consider about inflation.

One major issue especially in the UK is the austerity policies we have seen in the last 40 or so years (that goes back to Thatcher). The problem is the distribution of wealth imo.

That’s particularly important as it has nothing to do with a ‘free market economy’ or any other form of economic policy. For example, we see the same unequal wealth distribution (and capitalist excesses) in centrally-planned economies across various forms of communism.

Is this good or bad? 😊

I guess this depends how you define privacy. One solution may be Particl, but I haven’t tried it so far.

I just stumbled upon that, too, and am wondering how this compares to Librewolf (+VPN) …
