A Civilian Plane Crashed in New Mexico. Was the Military’s Tech to Blame?
Drone warfare is making the skies more dangerous, even for airplanes far from the battlefield.

Nice!
"Mastodon is currently considered *the* alternative to Twitter. SURF [the IT cooperative of Dutch education and research] and Universities of the Netherlands are therefore jointly exploring how a Mastodon environment for education and research in the Netherlands can take shape."

I was a 911 dispatcher for a decade.
To really understand how absolutely terrible an idea it is to have AI answer 911 calls, I'll present you with a single real-life call:
Upon answer, the caller calmly began ordering a pizza. Large, pepperoni. Side order of chicken wings. To be delivered promptly.
The only sign the caller gave that things were amiss? She rather ignored the first few questions from the calltaker.
Because she was being physically abused, had already been beaten, and her abuser was *IN THE ROOM* listening to her order pizza.
Tell me how your AI is going to read between those lines.
BMW: Belästigt Mit Werbung
Unmut macht sich breit unter BMW-Fahrern. Beim Anlassen ihres Fahrzeuges werden sie mit Reklame für einen Sommerfilm bedacht. Kein Bug.
Wichtig zu wissen:
Wie Russland gegen uns Krieg führt ohne Panzer und Raketen, und trotzdem unsere Gesellschaft ins Mark trifft!
Es ist so wichtig, dass wir dagegen immun werden können!
Kleine Konflikte befeuern: Wenn wir uns auseinanderdividieren lassen, haben wir verloren.

Als twee XR mensen alleen al denken om iets te doen, staat de politie al voor de deur.
Social media, desinformatie, 10-tallen bot-accounts uit buitenland en je start zoiets in een paar uur.

Toch was er wel een venijnige sneer van de EU chef (Uit <checks notes> Oostenrijk) die over migratie gaat.
(En vroeg ik me af : gaat Italie nu hun overhaaste besluit over Schengen en Spanje terug draaien ?)
"EU chief criticises Spain’s migrant plan after Ceuta crisis meeting
Migration commissioner says scheme regularising undocumented people ‘not a good signal’ for Europe"

Horrifying footage from Kherson:
A Russian drone hunting down Mr. Yurii, a vegetable seller, as he set out produce at 6:30am. His wife fled. He stayed by his van, pointing at his goods, showing he was unarmed — the operator kept attacking anyway. He was hit while running, badly injured, but survived. His van, his family's livelihood, destroyed.
This is deliberate targeting of a civilian. Every link in that chain — order-givers, operators, button-pushers — must answer for it. #AureFreePress

New from Andrew Joseph Pegoda: In an attempt to overcomply with #Texas law, the University of #Houston will eliminate over 100 women's studies, gender and sexuality courses from the core curriculum.
It won't be enough to appease extremist Republicans. https://www.texasobserver.org/university-of-houston-ends-gender-sexuality-courses-op-ed/

Accede to a bully and he will demand more.
@alterelefant de belangrijkste les is misschien wel dat de mood gelijk omslaat op moment dat de zeepbel klapte.
Dat zo'n hoax kan ontstaan is lang niet altijd te voorkomen.
Nu nog de regeringen nog... 🙈

Zullen we nu eindelijk stoppen met dat verhullende en onjuiste voorvoegsel “sociale”
? #Digitaleplatformen #Nieuwemedia
Zoals we al eerder hebben gezien proberen de Russen EU-lidstaten uit elkaar te spelen. Rusland onderneemt dergelijke pogingen vaker. Ondertussen zouden we hier toch immuun voor moeten zijn zou je denken?
