I played with @datasette datasette.io/ in the last weeks and it's a really good tool to explore datasets, it reminds me Simile Exhibit simile-widgets.org/ a little bit.
Great job @simon!

Look, I went over the Snowden documents as a journalist, but I never saw anything that shocked me quite like this story of Meta buying a VPN company for "security" but then spying on users of competitive apps by decrypting the traffic.

This is a real SSL added and removed here :) moment.

There are vendors selling generative AI to create RFPs. There are vendors selling generative AI to write proposals in response to RFPs. There are vendors selling AI to review those proposals.

This will end terribly. People will die.

"The residue from crypto is a lot of bad digital art and worse Austrian economics."

@pluralistic is quotable as always. I recommend his whole analysis of the AI bubble, it's well worth it.

@fromjason@lemmy.world l’ho spiega bene in un suo recente toot.

Conversely, if a #Mastodon user switched to #threads, all they would need to do is switch on Fediverse for themselves and they gain access to all their Mastodon friends. No convincing required. Federation on mastodon is opt-out.

Therefore, the cost to switch from Mastodon to Threads is lower than the reverse.

So, how is interpolation with Threads good for the #fediverse again? Or did we get bamboozled?

Per questo dicevo che quando sarà completamente bilaterale ne riparliamo.

Il parlamento europeo ha approvato la direttiva per le performance energetica degli edifici.

Tra le altre cose prevede un numero minimo di #parcheggi per #bici negli edifici residenziali e non, di nuova costruzione o in ristrutturazione.

È una novità magari piccola, ma importante, che va nella direzione giusta.

Cybersecurity engineer Adan Álvarez has open-sourced a tool named TrailDiscover, a collection of AWS CloudTrail events that usually trigger and are linked to security incidents or actions.

#Wikidata Query Service has a new feature: a button to cancel a running query - what a useful tool in testing large and time consuming #SPARQL queries.

as this toot got some attention these days - a clarification by @ainali: this button doesn't stop the query on server side, it is only abandoning it in the browser.

For almost any file format you can think of (PDFs, xlsx, shapefiles, etc) there are robust, high quality JavaScript libraries for handling them on npm - and the chances are that your user's laptop has more available RAM and CPU than your server does, so provided you trust your users, having their browser do that initial processing work actually makes a lot of sense

If you live in the European Union, I would ask, as a personal favour, that you consider signing this petition for a tax on great wealth. It is reasonable; it would have major impact if put into place; it is very feasible (no revision of the Treaties needed). It is the brainchild of French economist Thomas Piketty, a leading scholar of inequality. tax-the-rich.eu #economics #ClimateCrisis

"The future hinges on our ability to both reform the current system and create a new one that genuinely serves the best interests of humanity. To achieve this, we must break down data silos to encourage collaboration, create market conditions in which a diversity of options thrive to fuel creativity, and shift away from polarising content to an environment shaped by a diversity of voices and perspectives that nurture empathy and understanding."

I giornalisti e la tutela delle fonti: il caso Domani
Fa scalpore la vicenda che in questi giorni vede i giornalisti del giornale Domani indagati per rivelazione di segreto. Al di là della vicenda specifica, che sarà oggetto di valutazione della magistratura, appare utile ripercorrere il quadro relativo alle prerogative dei giornalisti, in special modo con riferimento alla tutela dell'anonimato delle fonti.

I've been working over the past few weeks in documenting the systemic impact that AI systems and #machinelearning models are having on the Web:
w3c.social/@w3c/11209049294655

This led to the publication of the following report by the @w3c team yesterday:
"AI & the Web: Understanding and managing the impact of Machine Learning models on the Web"
w3.org/reports/ai-web-impact/

Looking forward to input on feedback on the associated github repo!

At 35, the web is broken, but its inventor hasn't given up hope of fixing it yet zdnet.com/home-and-office/netw by @sjvn

I've used the #web since it had two—count them, two—web servers. It's more powerful today, but it's also uglier than ever; Sir Tim hopes to fix it.

Le auto moderne, dotate di connessione Internet, raccolgono dati di guida che finiscono nelle mani delle assicurazioni, spesso senza il chiaro consenso dei proprietari. Questa pratica, che coinvolge case automobilistiche e broker di dati, solleva preoccupazioni significative sulla privacy e il controllo delle proprie informazioni, spingendo a riflessioni sull'etica e la trasparenza nell'uso dei dati personali.
