Hi there πŸ‘‹

I'm new around these parts.

I'm a mid 20s woman from Denmark πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

Mostly lurking but will be posting my random thoughts, #tech, #fashion, whenever I do any #travel, and whenever I do something around the web.

I'm also the (currently only blind) software engineer @bemyeyes

Looking forward to chat with you all around these parts

The UK Online Safety Act burdens small sites with duties and penalties that they can't shoulder. They'll shut down instead, stripping us of net plurality.

There’s a simple solution:

βœ… Exempt small, safely run blogs, forums and fedi instances
βœ… The government can do this now

The duties start TOMORROW – Write to your MP ⬇️

Content Warning

Under the UK Online Safety Act, small blogs, forums and fedi instances are faced with disproportionate requirements to:

⚫️ Check if they have UK users

⚫️ Do a risk assessment on whether kids might access the content, or if CSAM or terrorist material might be posted in the comments

⚫️ Put themselves at the risk of fines, and even prison sentences, if they fail to comply with Ofcom’s future directives

When it comes to blogs, Ofcom says one thing, the UK Online Safety Act says another.

This lack of clarity over whether blogs with comments are exempt will push small sites to shut down completely.

We need the UK government to tighten up the definitions and exemptions in the Act.

Generative AI isn’t delivering on its promises, but that hasn’t stopped governments from turning it into a geopolitical football.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @timnitGebru to discuss the state of AI in 2025 and how it continues to sustain the hype.

Tomorrow could be a great day for space robots.

Intuitive Machines' Athena lander is set to touch down on the Moon carrying the "Grace" Hopper robot, Yaoki 360Β° rover, and MAPP prospecting rover.

Plus a micro-rover, AstroAnt, that will ride around on top of the MAPP rover!

https://www.intuitivemachines.com/im-2 #space #science #nasa #tech

The AstroAnt robot will be operating on the top surface of the Lunar Outpost MAPP-1 rover, equipped with a thermopile on its bottom surface for contact-less temperature measurements of the MAPP-1 rover radiator. With mobility in the Lunar gravity environment, the robot can measure temperature from different positions on the radiator and help with monitoring the performance of the thermal system, which is one of the most crucial systems of the rover. Leveraging magnetic wheels, the robot can attach to and move along the top rover surface. The AstroAnt will be the first-ever miniature robotic mission on the Lunar surface.

Blue Ghost is on the Moon! Images are coming in now from what appears to be the first fully successful commercial lunar lander. Just look at that shadow.

Over the next 2 weeks, Firefly's Blue Ghost will drill, study lunar dust, and observe an eclipse of the Sun...by the Earth.

So you want to fight fascism and make a difference right now? Do this:

Join Codeberg e.V. – become part of the organisation; part of the resistance – and actively support this valuable and ethical EU-based anti-fascistΒΉ git hosting alternative that’s under attack by fascists as we speak:

https://join.codeberg.org

Seriously, do it now.Β²

Volunteer and/or donate if you can.

Let’s send Codeberg’s membership through the roof and show these fucking fascists that when they push we push back twice as hard.

When you do, please add your voice to this thread so others can see.

I rarely ask this but please repost this far and wide.

Not to worry, this campaign will continue. And if you notice it’s green, that’s the time to get in and sign up for membership.

A couple of people have already signed up as members (that I’m aware of) in the past half hour or so.

Does anyone have any info on the estimated collective investments on Fediverse technology currently?

The definition for Fediverse in this case may include Threads & Bluesky & possible others.

Any papers, hints, links etc are very welcome. Feel free to boost & share this question

A Winter Night in an AI Summer AI Discourse and The Disconnect from Reality On a slightly rainy winter night in 2023 in a small dutch city, I went for a post- β€œAI & Philosophy Workshop” dinner at an Eritrean restaurant with a group of philosophers and scientists. We sat around the table to share food, thoughts, and some β€œfood for thought”! Only two of the attendees, including me, were engineers from the industry and NOT from Europe/US or whatever the β€œWestern World” means. This aspect became more noticeable when the discussions started and it stirred up many thoughts in my mind! https://www.onceupondata.com/post/2025-01-05-philosophy-ai/

For Dot Social, @mike spoke with @kissane and @darius, two of the smartest people working on this, about the impact of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election on fediverse work, the "Xodus," what needs to be done next, and how to fund and sustain better networks for humans.

The coolest thing about mapping the universe in gravitational waves? You need a telescope the size of our galaxy to do it.

So...astronomers got to work & figured out how to make a telescope the size of our galaxy.
