I’ve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, it’s fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.

He used to be a #monk who "...spent 14 years in silence and prayer during his training." & went on to become a #documentarian 🎥

#Germany (& others) should get a .gov #domain for their governmental websites e.g. ".gov.de"

Would help:

1. #Authentication as #government both nationally & internationally
2. Unification of domains & easier discoverability of #gov institutions (especially for foreigners)
3. Ranking on search results

From 100 people I try to talk to about #privacy, maybe 1 wants to 😅

Many know or suspect the issues with the #corporations collecting their #data but they try their best not to think about it, because they seem to feel helpless against it anyway.

Best way to change minds seems to be - living with privacy and answering questions when people notice your behavior & promoting / supporting alternative #software & #hardware.

#Mastodon has a big #userbase that cares about privacy, glad to be here!

Why doesn't #Tor use an #opensource #searchengine such as #searx by default?

Does a pretty good job & has 80+ instances available at:

https://searx.space/ 😀

That should ensure a better uptime & reliability than #duckduckgo & of course - way better everything - than #bing 👍

“WSJ: The AI industry spent 17x more on Nvidia chips than it brought in in revenue”

Linking to a reddit thread just for the headline quote they found in a paywalled WSJ article feels a bit weird but…

This 17x number is just for chips so the actual cost x revenue multiplier is much higher in reality https://old.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1bs1ebl/wsj_the_ai_industry_spent_17x_more_on_nvidia/

I got my first AI generated voicemail last night. It used my name and everything, pretending to be my dad. (He did not accept my transition back in the day, so it was immediately obvious)

Map 🗺️ of the area around the #Tesla #Gigafactory #Berlin #Grünheide 🏭. It shows where everything is happening now and what kind of places are bordering the Tesla factory and the area where the expansion is planned. To the north are the train tracks and train station. To the south is the industrial zone. To the east are pine tree and spruce monoculture plantations 🌲🌲🌲, inside of those is the #protestor #treehouse camp. To the west is the #A10 highway Berliner Ring 🚗
