"The common cold" is a name we've given to hundreds of different viruses where the common denominator is "less severe than the flu".

ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it ( noyb.eu )

It’s clear that companies are currently unable to make chatbots like ChatGPT comply with EU law, when processing data about individuals. If a system cannot produce accurate and transparent results, it cannot be used to generate data about individuals. The technology has to follow the legal requirements, not the other way...

Just don't make a new install with Dendrite - it's not really supported anymore. And no automated automation for us who do have Dendrite servers ...

Synapse if you plan to go large, otherwise Conduit, would be my recommendation.

Alonso should know by now that you're only allowed to drive according to strict FIA guidelines. There's no "racing" in F1, only passing cars that behave predictably at all times on the approved DRS straits.

The EU has made it very clear for a while now that European organizations cannot rely on American clouds or SaaS-providers. It's perfectly possible to go without - it just means a lot of IT-orgs who have relied on having a career "in Microsoft" need to update their skillset.

Linux market share passes 4% for first time ( arstechnica.com )

We see the nearly 33-year-old OS’s market share growing 31.3 percent from June 2023, when we last reported on Linux market share, to February. Since June, Linux usage has mostly increased gradually. Overall, there's been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of...

If Mercedes believe they can make a championship winning car in 2025 they should offer a one-year contract to Alonso. No one will work harder than him to win the WDC one more time.

Ukrainians who have moved to the UK have highlighted the lack of dentists as among the most astonishing aspects of British life ( www.theguardian.com )

One woman in her 30s, Boyka, told the researchers: “We don’t have a dentist. It’s crazy. For us, it’s, like, impossible! In Ukraine the dentist industry is huge, you know, everywhere, and because it’s everywhere you just go and it’s like £10, £8, and you can clean it, whiten it like [a] Hollywood smile!...

It's not just ukrainians. The rest of Europe can instantly spot who's from the UK by just looking at their teeth too.

I saw a clip where a car was plugged in but hadn't charged "for three hours". If this was one specific charging station then obviously it was having issues - not the cars.

What would be a good name for a federated Wikipedia?

Musk, as usual, has no idea on how this works in Sweden (and, subsequently, in Europe). I actually hope this will end up with Tesla leaving Europe completely.

A lot, likely most, of the trolling we seem to take as a necesserary consquence of social media seems to be influence operations from Russia and China (as the largest players, of course there are others).

That's what strikes people the most when they go from X to Mastodon. 90% less followers, but more actual engagement and practically none of the harassment.

It seems most people simply don't troll.

Sweden’s schools minister declares charter school ‘system failure’ ( www.theguardian.com )

It has been a disaster from the start, but it got worse and worse with time. I remember reading that the schools would give the children iPads and other things just so they would sign up for that school. Basically they would bribe the children to get the parents to send them so that they could make more money. And that’s only...

They're as bad as any other school in Sweden. Stuck in the 1800s. They're just wasting the kids time with stuff that once was important but won't be in the future they'll live and work in.

Rote learning - anything. That's 50% of the time currently - which can then be used to shorten school days with the same. We're living in a world where information is available at our finger tips - and that won't suddenly become less so.

Every generation suffers from the same faulty thinking. "Because this is the way it was for me it must be the right way also for my children".
