the son of profit

A new tool has scraped YouTube comments, lets harassers or anyone else search for a specific user, use AI to approximate where the person might be from based on their comments. Developer says it's for cops, but there are no checks. We signed up and used it https://www.404media.co/developer-builds-tool-that-scrapes-youtube-comments-uses-ai-to-predict-where-users-live/

The latest invite-spam-blocking technologies, Matrix Community Summit 2025 announced, and the custom emotes MSC has been proposed for final comment period – this and more happened This Week in Matrix! https://matrix.org/blog/2025/05/30/this-week-in-matrix-2025-05-30/

Here's another #animation I made with @friction@floss.social today.

This floating AI turd button in Excel has been genuinely infuriating. It's distracting, laggy and only turns off temporarily.

What are the best / worst AI product integrations you've seen? I'm making a list for a future video.

Dear restaurant owners, do not link to Facebook. Otherwise, your customers see:

- Error message: Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.

- A big login prompt, that cannot be dismissed.

What your customers don’t see:

- Your menu

- Your location

- Your opening hours

Wolfgang Messner, writing in @TheConversationUS@newsie.social on how generative AI could homogenize culture:

"The danger is not that AI will fail us, but that people will accept the mediocrity of its outputs as the norm. When everything is fast, frictionless and “good enough,” there’s the risk of losing the depth, nuance and intellectual richness that define exceptional human work."

This is my PhD thesis

I did not ask for this

I did not consent to this

I did not approve of this

I was not compensated for this

I would not have advised this

I do not like this

And worst of all, the number of people who've read my thesis has still not increased.

KDE for Windows 10 Exiles – Upgrade your software, not your computer

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

#HackerNews #KDE #Windows10 #Upgrade #Software #Exiles #OpenSource

KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10@floss.social campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

@nuxttux@mastodon.social made a very cool video showing off some highlights of the 25.04 release. Check it out!

Oh we're gonna do this again YouTube?

Self-hosting your own media content on a Raspberry Pi is not "dangerous or harmful".

I'm appealing of course; they're saying installing LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi circumvents copyright?!

Look at this and tell me Linux isn't the future.



And I don't care how much you know about computers. This is unusable.

No, Von der Leyen. Healthcare won't be improved by #AI.

On the contrary, AI is destroying the future of healthcare. Its engines are stealing researcher's work and atrophying the brains of future health professionals.

Medicine is a social science that needs critical thinking, empathy and compassion. All very distant concepts from those powerful shortsighted technocrats ruling the European Commission, the only beneficiaries of those €200 billion.
