TIL that the pedagoge Hilbert Meyer (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_Meyer) passed away this past December. He produced an enormous body of really great books about didaktics.

Since my niece wants to obtain a master's degree in the States in order to become a teacher, I thought I would […]

talking to a virtual support thing. I say I'm trying to use the fedex import tool but it's not showing any of my shipments and it's complaining my sentence is too long???

I'm glad we're turning every square foot of available land into data centers for this

So sorry to hear this, he was such an inspiring person. I count myself lucky to have been able to meet him in person a number of times, the research group I was with in Kiel collaborated with Oxford. Rest in Peace, Tony, and thanks for […]

Diese Infografik wurde von den European Pirates im Europäischen Parlament erstellt und trägt den Titel „4 bessere Alternativen zur Chatkontrolle“. Sie ist in drei Hauptbereiche gegliedert: Oben: „Security by Design“ – sichere Apps, die junge Menschen stärken statt überwachen. Eine Person hält ein Smartphone. Mitte: „Verhinderung der Verbreitung von Material“ – mit dem Hinweis auf vier Alternativen zur Chatkontrolle. Unten: „Das Netz säubern“ – mit drei illustrierten Vorschlägen: Automatisches Crawlen von Online-Inhalten Anbieter verpflichten, eindeutig illegale Inhalte zu entfernen Strafverfolgungsbehörden melden illegale Inhalte an Anbieter Die Grafik setzt sich für digitale Sicherheit und Privatsphäre ein und verweist auf www.chatcontrol.eu für weitere Informationen.

6/7 ✅ Konzentrieren wir uns auf das, was funktioniert: Sicherheit durch Design. Das Netz säubern. Verpflichtende Löschungen. Systeme zu überfluten funktioniert nicht. Unterstützen wir die Parlamentsposition von 2023, die Kinder ohne Massenscans schützt.

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

So Grammarly foisted advice from AI-generated impersonations of real people on its users, without bothering to ask the people it's impersonating whether they had any issue with this rancid fakery.

Publisher demands $500 from impersonated author to retract paper Last year, we wrote about a Walsh Medical Media journal that refused to withdraw an author’s paper unless he paid a fee — even though he didn’t write or submit the article. For one reader, some details of that story were familiar. Laertis Ikonomou, an associate professor at the University of Buffalo in New York, … Continue reading Publisher demands $500 from impersonated author to retract paper

PS: Here's hoping that publicity about this shakedown costs the publisher -- Walsh Medical Media -- more than $500.

Said request for free interviews with multiple zoom calls.

***Begging *** universities to stop forcing your cybersecurity students beg for strangers’ free time on the internet to do pointless interviews instead of even practical mentorship or projects.

We’re exhausted, understaffed and the market is hell. None of us have time.

Whether it was caused by US-Israeli bombing or a stray Iranian missile (or whatever), the death of dozens of pupils and teachers in a primary school in #Minab should be top news on one level with the death of #Khamenei. We live in extremely brutalised times that this is not the case.

Screenie of the letter

Lawyer Melanie #Schweizer has written to the state prosecutors to ask whether #Netanyahu was onboard the Israeli state airplane that has recently landed in #Berlin and how prosecutors have responded.

Oh you can tell your bot to dim the lights via WhatsApp chat? Welcome to 2015!

I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do.

So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired […]

Dear media writing about tech: Sam Altman shitting on "data centers in space" is not the story. Nobody thought that that narrative makes any sense.

You failed as reporters when you pretended it did just cause rich dude claimed it would be the future.

People need to look at what Massachusetts did back in 2023, they raised taxes by 2 percent on people making 1 million dollars or more. And the residents of the state voted on it. They have been reaping 3 billion dollars a year ever since just from this alone. And guess what? There wasn't this […]

Not just Norway! Many European countries also have free healthcare, free college, parental leave, and more. It’s necessary to have a well-educated, healthy population that doesn’t fall for fascists…

screenshot of a post by chrislundartist: It's hilarious when Americans pity my Norwegian tax rate. And yes. We pay more to the state. In return we get free healthcare, free college, and 49 weeks of fully paid parental leave. We do not have to crowd-fund our cancer treatments. Your 'low taxes' just mean you pay private corporations a premium for the privilege of still going broke when you get sick. Our system is an investment in human dignity. Yours is a GoFundMe waiting to happen. The math is really not that complicated
