Criterion has announced their disc releases for March. The headline piece here is a physical media release of Martin Scorsese's KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (2023).
I don't think there is anything shady going on here. Every Fediverse instance has a page for all users they know. If I click on your profile, I'm also not redirected to beige.party, but can view your profile on climatejustice.social. On Pleroma it just looks a bit different than on Mastodon, but it's the same.
Yup. It is a curious fact of modern life that when you get the "we've got your parcel" message from DPD it's reassuring, but the same message when received from Evri sounds like a hostage demand.
How many of you picked out your cat? How many of you had the cat pick you? Or was there some mutual Velcro attachment that occurred while you were out and about just living your life? #cat

I ask because almost all of my cats throughout my life have come from cats just showing up at my door or from people who couldn't care for their cats and needed someone else to care for them. #cat
My #AOTY2025 list is done. There were 21 albums/EPs released this year that I liked enough to buy.
Kicking things off at number 21 is The Mechanics of Mysticism by Ether Diver. This is a really interesting (and quite fun) electronic/ambient/experimental album from fellow fedi-denizen @etherdiver

Tiens, parmi les signes qui ne trompent pas : les articles qui me demandent systématiquement le plus de boulot sont ceux d'un journaliste dont la plume est apparemment saluée outre-Manche. Mais continuons bien de niveler la langue par le bas, histoire de pouvoir recourir à l'IA (je l'ai déjà dit ici et ailleurs, la possibilité de son avènement est déjà un effet, une preuve d'une uniformisation vers la médiocrité réussie, bien avant d'être une cause).
Et je rappelle à toutes fins utiles qu'en parlant de médiocrité, j'ai dans le viseur les écoles de comm… pardon, les business schools et le "tout-communication".
Ton peut-être est follement optimiste… je l'évoquais samedi (je crois), c'était tout à fait sensible avec l'e-learning : pour automatiser, il faut standardiser, et c'est en effet de l'industrialisation. Et oui aussi pour ta seconde remarque (cf. justement l'article pour lequel je mentionnais l'e-learning). Disons qu'il faut lire "l'IA telle qu'elle existe, développée en fonction des intérêts d'un logique économique extractiviste", mais c'est long.
Entre enthousiasme et rejet, nous oublions que l'IA n'a pas d'essence. Déclarer qu'elle est intrinsèquement bénéfique ou destructrice naturalise la domination qu'on prétend combattre. L'IA n'existe que dans nos rapports à elle.
