I've been in the fediverse since 2017 already, however with the recent growth in users and the switch to my own instance, I figured it is time for an #introduction.
I am a #Statistician and #DataScientist from Germany. I am also passionate about Free and #OpenSource #Software and am deeply involved in hosting, developing and advocacy of privacy friendly FOSS tools.
Besides above two topics, I share posts & ramble myself about #politics in Germany and the EU, #feminism, #veganism, #selfhosting, #rstats, #linux and whatever is currently happening. Posts are typically in English, shares are often in German as well.
If you have further questions, you are free to ask any time. You can find further contact info (incl. PGP) on my website https://www.jayvii.de
Well, TIL that you can pipe tar directly into ssh. Need to play around with that a little. Maybe it overcomes the requirement to have enough space for a giant tar file on the host?
âOn The Enshittification of Audre Lorde: "The Master's Tools" in Tech Discourseâ
https://tarakiyee.com/on-the-enshittification-of-audre-lorde-the-masters-tools-in-tech-discourse/
> Read against the speech itself, Lorde's argument seems less concerned with whether antitrust law can break up monopolies and more with whose knowledge counts, who gets to define the problem, and what gets systematically erased when liberation movements reproduce the exclusions of the systems they are opposing.
LLMs do not "democratize programming". A 4-year-old can learn to program. LLMs throw up stupid barriers by convincing you that you can't learn to program and you have to rely on whatever shit the bobot spits out. Every asshole that says that AI "democratizes" fucking anything is trying to scam you.
In an attempt to use my smartphone a lot less, I am currently trying Newsboat's Podcast integration and a slim script I hacked together this morning. It automatically fetches podcast episodes, downloads and pushes them to the MP3-Player I bought a few months ago for taking to the gym.
It is of course a little bit more clunky than simply using Antennapod on my smartphone, but honestly, it is a quite smooth and pleasant experience nonetheless. Let's see how this goes for a few weeks.
For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege â it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.
~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.
This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.
Perfekter Zeitpunkt, um die Miniserie "Adolescence" zu empfehlen.
Im Zentrum steht ein 13-jĂ€hriger, der verdĂ€chtigt wird, eine MitschĂŒlerin getötet zu haben.
Es geht um die Auswirkungen von Patriarchat & Frauenfeindlichkeit, um Online-Radikalisierung, toxische MĂ€nnlichkeit, die Incel-Bewegung & die Konsequenzen, die all das fĂŒr Jungen & MĂ€dchen hat.
Die schauspielerischen Leistungen sind legendĂ€r, der One-Shot-Dreh pro Folge ebenso, die IntensitĂ€t kaum aushaltbar & erschĂŒtternd.
AI, mental health
if you're using AI regularly to generate text/presentations that you intend to use persuasively i don't think i can trust a single thing you say. Where does the AI end and the human begin?
I think this is why im so against AI generated commit messages especially if the code was written by a human, you wrote the code so you should be able to demonstrate that you understand what the change does and why.
If you're deferring that to an AI and you made a subtle logic error that it decides to justify for you suddenly we have obfuscated our own fucking zero days. Good luck finding the bug if the commit message describes the error as if it was intentional.
For general text, if you start with the conclusion and let the AI write the justification then there is no justification!!! Details matter, having a paper trail for decision making matters.
I wonder how many executives will escape the consequences of their white collar crimes by blaming AI.
AI zombification is coming and it's going to create a distinct difference in communication styles between those who do and don't use it, honestly that point is already here.
And we're gonna find out yet again that marx was right when it becomes clear that AI usage correlates with class lines.
Die Informationssuche verÀndert sich, TikTok wird immer hÀufiger als Suchmaschine genutzt, insbesondere von GenZ & GenAlpha.
Erinnern wir uns an die Zeiten, als schon die Internetsuche negativ beurteilt wurde, weil die schnelle hÀppchenweise Bereitstellung von Information als Problem gesehen wurde. Inzwischen kann man froh sein, wenn die Gruppe der sehr jungen Nutzer die klassische Suche noch medienkompetent beherrschen und Infos nicht nur von Influencern beziehen.

Mojeek und Kagi im Test!
Wer MetaGer als #Suchmaschine nutzt, erhĂ€lt ĂŒbrigens auch Mojeek-Ergebnisse. Es ist ganz aufschlussreich, mal zu schauen, von welchen Anbietern ein Ergebnis bei uns kommt. Manchmal z.B. kommt es nur von Mojeek. Das macht dann wieder deutlich, dass eine Metasuchmaschine gewisse Vorteile in der Ergebnisvielfalt haben kann.
