What the fuck was facebook spending $70,000,000,000 on for metaverse? SEVENTY BILLION! For some absolutely shit N64 era graphics.

That's more than every PS2 game combined (including marketing).

Just what where they spending all that money on?

        Suomen Akateemisten Naisten Liitto kertoi tänään sähköpostitse, että Meta on estänyt liiton tiedotustilit.

        "Meta ei ole kertonut syytä estolle eikä ole antanut mahdollisuutta korjata mahdollista erhettä. Traficomin mukaan Meta rikkoo toiminnallaan EU:n digipalveluasetusta. Valitettavasti on kuitenkin vähän, mitä Traficomin mukaan voimme yhdysvaltalaiselle digijätille. Tiedämme jo, että Meta ei salli nykyään sellaisia maksullisia mainoksia, joissa mainitaan esimerkiksi sana "tasa-arvo". Tällainen mainos Liitolta hylättiin eston alla."

          In light of Bluesky’s myriad concerning decisions, I’m finding myself spending increasing amounts of time on Mastodon. I wonder if others feel the same.

          Similarly, I’m enjoying the discovery of new voices, and feel my interest in those pledging continued loyalty to Meta and/or Musk is beginning to feel strained. Which I also feel might not be so uncommon.

            :doctorow: Ao ler essa matéria é que acabo de ficar sabendo que também parecem estar para liberar nomes de usuário como (cujos servidores foram aproveitados pelo serviço privativo) sempre suportou, como se fosse novidade. Nesse caso, acho que será mais um passo da merdificação, dessa vez contra as telefônicas que estimularam esse monopólio ao não contabilizarem dados transmitidos para ele. Quando a geral que praticamente só tem adquirido é mal mantido números para esse fim se vir livre dessa obrigação, vamos ver se haverá reação dessas empresas. Tarde demais: Big Tech wins. :enshittification:

                        Eines Morgens in aller Frühe… es muss vor dem trockenen Müsli gewesen sein, etwa um das Jahr 2026, als ich so dachte, vor mich her, ganz leise:

                        Das ist der Algorithmus, zu dem Jan nicht mehr mit muss. Auf der Meta‑Ebene konzertierte ich zu konzentrierte Konzern‑concerns.

                                Mehr KI – oder besser nicht?

                                Wieder haben sich einige Meldungen zum Thema Ki angesammelt, von denen ich drei hier gemeinsam aufgreife. Fangen wir mit Microsoft (MS) an. MS betreibt zwei Strategien: Erstens alles in Cloud-Computing ("always online") drücken; zweitens überall KI. Mit jedem Upgrade werden Windows und MS-Office mit mehr KI-Funktionen "angereichert". Nicht alle Anwender/innen finden KI eine Bereicherung, vorsichtig ausgedrückt. Aber es ist gar nicht einfach, der Vergewohltätigung durch KI zu entkommen. Deswegen hat ein Entwickler (mit Beiträgen von anderen) ein Script geschrieben, mit dem man - Stand heute - sämtliche KI aus Windows herausoperieren
