Taylor, Trump und Russland: Fakes und Desinformation im US-Wahlkampf

Der US-Wahlkampf geht in die heiße Endphase - und mit ihm die Fake-News- und Desinformationskampagnen. Selten sei die Bedrohung so groß gewesen, sagen Experten. Sie warnen besonders von der Gefahr durch KI. Von Sarah Schmidt.

Have you ever wondered why #ActivityPub/AS2 has two media types? Here's a historical discussion about the tradeoffs between activity+json and ld+json. Does anybody know why they decided to use *both* media types?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip #Erdogan reiterated Wednesday Türkiye’s steadfast #support for #Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while emphasizing ongoing support for #Crimean #Tatar rights.

"Our support for Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence is unwavering.
The return of Crimea to Ukraine is a requirement of international law," Erdogan declared in a video message to the Fourth Crimea Platform Leaders Summit.

He highlighted Türkiye’s stance on Crimea, stressing that its return to Ukraine aligns with international legal standards, pointing out the enduring pain experienced by Crimean Tatar Turks, whose suffering has persisted for eight decades.

Erdogan also expressed confidence in further actions to support the Crimean Tatar Turks, saying: "I believe that additional steps will continue to be taken to strengthen the rights of the Crimean Tatar Turks in the upcoming period."

Upside-down world. In all my pictures of power lines, they always appear black. It never occurred to me to think about their actual color. Until this first image. The sun lights them up so that they shine brightly, almost silver, while the barbed wire, which is normally silver, appears black. Only then did I realize that power lines have no insulation and you can actually see the bare metal. They likely appear black in my photos because, on one hand, they are exposed against a brighter background, and on the other, they reflect the darker ground. Fascinating!

For fediversers interested in #science and the rigor of scientific #research, this #nakedcapitalism article is a weekend #mustread 🙏 #PubPeer #RetractionWatch

I knew of the problems with plagiarism & zealous dissemination of pre/non peer-reviewed research papers, much thru electronic socialization of respected journal platforms, which had contributed to rising pseudo-research, but was flabbergasted by the actual depth & breadth of it.🧐🫨🔬

With Russian and Chinese presence in the Arctic growing, Tokyo aims to bolster the area's rule of law by redoubling diplomatic ties with Nordic countries. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/… #japan #arctic #chinajapanrelations #russiajapanrelations #defense


Good news, France!
I just noticed that Battlestar Galactica (2003-2009) is back on Prime Video. Miniseries + 4 seasons. TV movies are missing.

Don't waste time, because last year it was only on Prime for a few weeks.

So sieht die Hölle auf Erden von weit oben aus: Jeder orange Punkt auf dieser Karte zeigt eine "thermische Anomalie" an, mutmaßlich ein brennendes Feuer, das in den letzten 24 Stunden via Satellitendaten der NASA in Südamerika entdeckt wurde.
Quelle: @wwf_deutschland, das leider ebenfalls der Meinung ist, hier nicht mehr posten zu müssen. Wer die Quelle also sehen will, muss in die andere Hölle auf Erden, also zu Elon.


Ah super... maintenant les boutiques en ligne (y compris Amazon) sont remplies de livres générés par I.A., avec bien sûr du contenu foireux.
Ça pourrait être insignifiant si une famille n'avait pas risqué sa vie en mangeant des champignons toxique indiqué comme comestibles par certains de ces livres.

ouaip, je crois qu'on peut qualifier ça de fascinant.
Je vois un serial éditeur qui en sort toutes les semaines sur des sujets sans rapports les uns avec les autres.
Le texte est généré, la couverture est générée et l' "auteur" se croit malin. (Et s'en vante sur LinkedIn 😁)

J’ai envie de dire que le bullshit a toujours tué, alors si on industrialise et automatise la production du bullshit, ça ne peut rien donner de bon.



Just discovered a new comic on postcolonial critique: "Episodes From a Colonial Present"

"This collective comic project illuminates the coloniality of everyday life as well as the decolonising potential of everyday struggles in the spaces, discourses and practices of so-called global development."

@rvedotrc Haha, no. Those hills are a bit steeper than the terrible uphill bike lane on Randersvej. I took it in Norway a few years ago, to the north of Bergen.

@rvedotrc Bergen is wonderful. And the train trip there from Oslo is awesome, in every sense of the word.
