Oh, interesting. I bought a copy for my Kobo reader.

Agree. I sort of try to emphasise this under the heading âFearmongering sentience claimsâ in the post, but I do suffer from trying to make too many points at the same time. đ
âThe claims have the effects of:
- Pulling attention away from the real harms that are happening
- Boosting trust in the validity of system output because they are framed as âall-powerful beingsâ
- Supporting the idea of accountability outsourcing (to the machines)
- Giving more power to the doomsayers because they are the only ones who can save us, and thus also the ones who can tell lawmakers how to regulateâ
If the only way to make a good deal is for someone else to lose a disproportionate amount of money, self-respect or quality of life⊠then it was never a good deal.
Det gÄr vÀldigt snabbt nu... temporÀra tvÄngsmedel permanentas. Egentligen inte alls nÄgra överraskningar. Ordet "prövotid" anvÀnds som regel för att tysta kritiker. Efter fem Är, nÀr ingen tittar, drar man ett streck över det.
För 15 Är sedan var det vanligt att kritisera övervakningen i Kina. Det gör vÀldigt fÄ av vÄra politiker idag. De skyndar sig att kopiera. Skyndar sig att komma ikapp.
Notera att detta drivits av bÄde sittande och föregÄende regering.
Jag tycker det Àr svÄrt att ta Ät sig av hur snabbt vÀrderingar förÀndras.

ApropĂ„ hĂ„rdare straffâŠ
«HÄrda straff Àr inget botemedel mot brott, menar amerikanen och advokaten Bryan Stevenson. "Vi har extrema straff, vi avrÀttar mÀnniskor, men har fortfarande rekordnivÄer av vÄld i vÄrt samhÀlle."»
"â FörlĂ„t, men jag tycker att det Ă€r rent nonsens. Sverige Ă€r inte ett farligt och vĂ„ldsamt land. Det Ă€r ett tryggt, civiliserat land som har sĂ€rskilda problem, som alla lĂ€nder har. Politiker utnyttjar vad de ser som en möjlig valvinnare och piskar upp en rĂ€dsla."

Itâs hard to tell if youâre asking or not, butâŠ
The Fediverse software Iâm using is named Akkoma.
Itâs magic.
@ben I am not using Mastodon. Is it still a toot? đ
@ben 1. All podcasts have RSS feeds.
2. I have an RSS feed.
3. Therefore, I have a podcast.
This is a great example of a logical fallacy. đ

@zip
Yes, Apple Podcasts requires an RSS feed to register your podcast, and this is the platform for most podcasts to then propagate throughout the "podiverse". And Spotify's new hosting platform creates an RSS feed (but doesn't immediately make it public, that's up to the podcast owner - Spotify would much rather you didn't host your podcast anywhere else).
But Spotify and others also offer exclusive shows (i.e. not podcasts). At least they did. And some podcasts don't disclose their feed so other services can pick it up. Some shows I've seen only publish an audio file on a web page or exclusively on Soundcloud for example.
@x_cli
Definitely. A feed can also be styled to be the website itself. See for example: https://axbom.com/carefully/rss/
The content will be rendered to fit whatever client decides to use the feed.
Personally it is rare that I visit the website of a podcast, even my own. đ
If you don't have an RSS feed you don't have a podcast.
And that is a hill I will die on.
Each book I read teaches me something new. I naturally reflect on how insights and learnings fit within my personal, current context. I can read a book again years later and take away something completely different from it, because I am in a different place.
A book summary by AI teaches me nothing.
The reading process is about my thinking blending with the author's thinking. When my own thinking isn't involved, and I'm not participating, the value gets lost.
SÄ jÀkla jobbigt för polisen nÀr den egna utvÀrderingen visar att ÄtgÀrderna de sjÀlva gillar inte funkar för att minska brottsligheten. BÀst att gömma undan den redan diarieförda rapporten.
ApropÄ visitationszoner.

@LeoR1010 Tack Leo! Ja det kÀnns lite overkligt pÄ mÄnga sÀtt. GÀller nu bara att inte ta i för mycket.
I started working again today. Went well, feels good, but wow I feel like the huge project Iâm in is going to be quite intense. Definitely fun, but intense.

@steveportigal Wow this was so fun to read and made me think of how much manual creativity we've lost. The closest I came was all the school magazines I was involved in making in the early 90s.
As great as computers can be, we often end up using them for the "wrong" things, and they impose more boundaries than people tend to realise.

A helpful tip by Alastair here: adding friction to help people consider they might be subject to a scam. In this example his mumâs credit card wrapped in a card holder that urges her to think âIs this a scam?â and to call him.
Makes me want to brainstorm more friction ideas to combat fraud.

Politiskt motiverad kartlÀggning av invandrares vÀrderingar Àr sÄ galet att jag inte finner ord.
Men Persson missar ocksÄ helt att det redan utförts en sÄdan studie som publicerades för bara tre Är sedan. Vad Àr det han tÀnker ska ha hÀnt sedan dess?
"I den politiska debatten hörs allt oftare en oro för att svenska normer och vÀrderingar hotas av invandring. SÄ tycks dock inte vara fallet. Medan forskning visar att ett lands kultur Àr förhÄllandevis seglivad, tycks personer som migrerar frÄn ett land till ett annat anpassa sig till det nya landets kultur relativt snabbt.
I dag lanseras en ny SNS-rapport, âMigranters attityder och vĂ€rderingarâ. I den presenterar jag forskningsÂresultat som visar att migranter som kommer till ett nytt land förĂ€ndrar sina vĂ€rderingar i linje med det nya landets rĂ„dande normer förhĂ„llandevis snabbt. Detta gĂ€ller Ă€ven i Sverige. Ny statistik visar att migranters attityder och vĂ€rderingar inom mĂ„nga omrĂ„den konvergerar med genomÂsnittsÂsvenskens redan under de första tio Ă„ren i landet."

I've noticed it's very hard for me to watch a movie at home without simultaneously tending to distractions on my phone and especially if I watch on my iPad I'm always multitasking.
I hate that it's come to this and I intend to build myself a noisebox to protect myself from myself.
