Labyrint-spelet fyller 80 i år. Jäklar vad många timmar av min barndom jag la på detta ändå.

För tolv år sedan byggde jag en sajt på engelska om hur man röstar i Sverige. Skulle behöva faktakolla den för att se om något väsentligt ändrats. OM du gillar sån't här och har koll på alla regelverk är du välkommen att ta en titt.

Fresh LinkedIn hell. Apparently now people can invite you to follow(!!!) - so they're not asking to be a contact. When you click Accept, you follow them but they don't follow you.
At first glance these don't look different from regular LinkedIn contact requests.
@jon @Vivaldi @brucelawson Love the video, but the message would of course be more on point by not using big tech for publishing a "Big Tech? Big NO" sentiment.
Now that Eurosky can hold all my Bluesky data, and there are more and more services that are part of the Atmosphere (the AT Protocol counterpart to the Fediverse), I'm again excited about the potential for more people to break away from big tech social media.
I do feel even new apps on the Atmosphere have more appealing (more user-friendly?) user interfaces than apps generally do in the Fediverse. Not sure why that is.
I moved my Bluesky account to Eurosky just the other day. Still takes some new thinking around instances that many will feel are confusing - but I keep followers, follows and posts across the board, which I feel is a step up from migrations in the Fediverse.

Sometimes I'm struck by how deeply dehumanizing it is to liken machine function with the wonder of personhood.
@JoWa Touché! 🙌

@laura So good to hear Laura. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Even the pubs are fed up.
Thomas House in Dublin is saying no to flyers and posters with AI art, and connecting local artists with bands and promoters.
”We’re right next to Ireland’s biggest art college, lads. It’s not a good look.”

⚠️ Animal abuse / children in prison
This was an immensely distressing story to read. Human treatment of children and animals spiralling out of control.
Pet ferret therapy animals in a children's prison overrun by rats, used by staff for killing said rats, resulting in a bloody, traumatic incident and risks for contamination.
Traumatized children is what the pet ferrets were brought in for as part of a therapeutic programme. 😰

Madonna: "Because we think if we look at Instagram for two hours, we’ve actually been with somebody. It’s a deeply disturbing activity."

Ever eloquent on the topic of ‘just use the technology in a good way’… L.M. Sacasas:
Your AI Is Not a Tool
«I confess that I am astounded by how blithely some insist that it is all as simple as learning to use AI well, as if we had not just undergone a nearly 20-year, society-wide experiment showing that a so-called “tool,” say a smartphone or a social media platform, will (mal)form even the most vigilant and virtuous user into its own image and shape. This is the blindness at the heart of modern technological hubris. It is the firm but misguided conviction that our “tools” exist entirely outside of us and thus, if taken up with requisite skill, can be “safely” deployed.
But AI is not a tool in this sense, it is an environment which envelops the user and works on us from the inside out while we naively think that we remain unchanged by our use so long as we are using it carefully and intentionally. The care and intentionality is beside the point, and our confidence in such vigilance probably works against us in the long run.»
