Queridas personas, fíjense en lo que está pasando. Usar el "filtro #Ghibli" de #ChatGPT no es simpático ni inofensivo. Es darle publicidad gratis a una compañía que no respeta el trabajo creativo de nadie y que expresamente está robando la labor no sólo de Hayao #Miyazaki, sino de un estudio entero de #artistas. Es agregar todavía más basura a #internet.

Mirror, mirror on the wall - who is the worst #actress of them all? And if they haven't died, they're still rebooting today ...
On the one hand I'm always happy when the right-wingers are busy with something unimportant, on the other hand it's a children's movie (is there anything less important to get mad about in the current crisis situation).
Ultimately, this all is too woke mob will ensure that we get even more franchises and that #Hollywood risks even less with new ideas. This will give us an even more unpalatable mishmash and less entertainment. So let the kids have their movies and tone down your racism ...

@trending_bot Related, longer-term thought, in case it interests you: getting @letsencrypt to work with @opennic would put us on a path to set domain names free from the commercial system (after which we could try to get the EU to force browsers to support OpenNIC natively).

@zbrando@vivaldi.net @morrick@appdot.net @ueeu@vivaldi.net You’re not wrong. But, looking ahead, we can do so much better than the commercial domain name system. Commercial domain names are a gold standard example of artificial scarcity.Aral’s fediverse server

Oh really it was Ukraine that took down X on March 10? Not so fast.

It was on this day 36 years ago when @timbl submitted his proposal to CERN for an "information management system", precursor to the World Wide Web.
"In the proposal, Berners-Lee modestly spoke of wanting to use hypertext, a.k.a. links, to help CERN deal with information storage issues.

His boss’s response?
“Vague, but exciting.”"

Zu 1., #Medienethik, #Neurodiversität & #Fediversum:
„Die persönliche Freiheit kann mithilfe eines besseren Verständnisses von Neurodiversität gewahrt werden und den Wettbewerb um Ressourcen reduzieren.
Ebenso ermöglicht, wie auch schon zu Beginn des Internetzeitalters, das nicht-kommerzialisierte Netz (Fediversum) demokratisierten Austausch, insbesondere der Zivilgesellschaft.“
