An amazing talk by #DrConstanzeKurz about the proliferation of mass state #surveillance at the #nextcloud Hub 9 conference.
Definitely worth a watch, and if you actually care about #privacy watch it on #peertube here:

What an incredible use of our limited resources, an AI bot that writes completely useless descriptions to printer driver software updates. All of this could have been done with an RSS feed or a crawler for the printer driver websites.
Instead, we're draining the waters so that a stupid ChatGPT bot can write the same shit, but in a different expression every time. Moreso with a name that recalls the atrocities and the regime of one of history's most brutal dictators.

More than a thousand people in Lebanon have been injured after hundreds of personal communication devices exploded simultaneously.
It's believed most of the pagers were being carried by members of Hezbollah. Hezbollah has called it one of the biggest security breaches since the group was formed.
Local media report says the pagers simultaneously exploded across the country after being hacked by Israel.

Hezbollah in an official announcement:
"After the tests we conducted, we place the responsibility for what happened on the Israeli enemy.
The criminal enemy will pay an adequate recompense for this aggression."
More than 3,000 Hezbollah members were injured or killed in an instant when their pagers all blew up simultaneously this morning.
Reports that Israel's Mossad are in hospitals seeking Hamas military leaders wounded in the attack.

"Hezbolá en un comunicado oficial:
"Tras las pruebas que hemos realizado, responsabilizamos de lo ocurrido al enemigo israelí.
El enemigo criminal pagará una compensación adecuada por esta agresión".
Más de 3.000 miembros de Hezbolá resultaron heridos o muertos en un instante cuando sus buscapersonas explotaron simultáneamente esta mañana.
Se informa de que el Mossad de Israel está en hospitales buscando a los líderes militares de Hamás heridos en el ataque.

Age-gating is not an effective way to keep kids safe online because one election could change the definition of “harmful content” to information disliked by puritanical communities.

Given KOSA’s current bi-partisan support in the US, I hope conservatives saying the quiet part out loud will change Democrats’ position to strong opposition.

Million-mile battery.
For BUSES.
"The new #Tianxing #battery is designed specifically for buses and can last up to 1.5 million km (932,000 miles) and 15 years. CATL also said it has an “ultra-long warranty” of ten years or 1 million km (621,400 miles).
#CATL said it improved the energy density by 22% compared to the previous generation. With 175 Wh/kg, CATL claims its new Tianxing Bus battery leads the industry."

Lots of manga published today. I had some early review copies that I liked. Starting with Soseki Natsume's Botchan: The Manga Edition. It's a Japanese classic from a century ago in a newly accessible form for those who don't want to read the novel:

#Pixi pack: una opción para resolver el problema de distribución de paquetes multiplataforma y de lenguaje agnóstico.
Pixi es un proyecto de @prefix que moderniza la gestión de dependencias basado en paquetes #conda, que por defecto uso el canal de #condaforge (luego, no es susceptible a los cambios de licencia de #anaconda).
I’m diving fully into XMPP with ejabberd and will be closing my Matrix (Conduwuit) server by tomorrow. Excitingly, ejabberd supports Matrix federation, though it needs a separate domain. Everything's been smooth so far, but I’m missing some chat partners. 😐
Let's chat folks, you can reach me at ml@buddyverse.one.

I heard! This may in the end simplify operations. OpenTelemetry can be scraped directly by Prometheus, so we may not need the statsd exporter / rewriter in the future.
Stay tuned :)
Nick Mourtoupalas & Bonnie Berkowitz: Are you still registered to vote? How to make sure you’re up to date. Here’s how to check before your state’s deadline.
"Almost half of U.S. states and D.C. offer same-day voter registration for the Nov. 5 general election. Other states require registration before Election Day, with some deadlines as early as Oct. 6 and others as late as Nov. 2.
If you want to vote in the presidential election, it’s time to check your voter registration.
Even if you voted in a previous election, you’re not necessarily registered for this one, and the window to register closes early next month in some states.
States periodically purge their voter rolls of people who haven’t voted recently or have died, moved or become ineligible by, say, being convicted of a felony. And sometimes eligible voters are mistakenly removed."

Thanks for sharing!
