It seems like I landed on some kind of starterkit-list, so maybe it’s
time for an introduction;

I’m a researcher and concepter for journalistic tech @ Deutsche Welle. My focus is on social media and especially verification/OSINT and also GenerativeAI.

I’m part of @quiztime and also do trainings.

'Where commercial tech isolates, public service must use technology to "build bridges to get people to meet each other, to have a conversation with each other”.'

I love this approach. Would love it even more to see this implemented beyond "the Nordics".

In response to Musk calling to “abolish” the European Union, the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski, wrote in Musk’s replies on X: “Go to Mars. There’s no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

Dobrindt würde für seinen Abschiebewahn nicht nur sprichwörtlich über Leichen gehen, mit seinen Terrorfreunden tut er es faktisch: Er holt die Taliban nach Deutschland, gibt ihnen Zugriff auf die Daten ihrer Opfer, die er dann nach Afghanistan abschiebt. Und nun also auch Frauen. Was für ein Mensch!
Illustration von Dobrindt mit seiner Frau. Diese trägt die unter den Taliban für Frauen vorgeschriebene Burka, eine sackartige Vollverschleierung. Textzeile: Dobrindt besucht Mit seiner Frau Kabul, um zu zeigen, dass Afghanistan ein sicheres Land für Frauen ist.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

If you can bear to listen to Musk, here is him agreeing with the fine he just received.

By the way, @daphnek.bsky.social reminded me that back in the ancient times of May 2022, shortly after he made his bid for Twitter, Elon Musk actually appeared to nonchalantly endorse the Digital Services Act after meeting with former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton in Austin, Texas.

Don't let anyone — not even the US Secretary of State — tell you that the European Commission's €120 million enforcement against Elon Musk’s X under the Digital Service Act is about censorship, writes Daphne Keller. It’s just the EU enforcing some normal, boring requirements of its law, she says.

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha.

Merz nennt das Denkmal für Lübcke „vollkommen geschmacklos“. Vollkommen geschmacklos ist dabei jedoch nur eines: der Umgang der Union mit Lübckes Hinrichtung durch einen AfD Anhänger, weil diese beständig der geistigen und praktischen Kollaboration mit der AfD im unbequem im Wege steht.

Eine Statue terrorisiert die CDU: Für den Bundeskanzler ist das hier „vollkommen geschmacklos“. Die CDU spricht von “Provokation” und “Spaltung” – wegen einer Gedenkstätte für Walter Lübcke! Es sei “würde- und pietätlos“. Die Partei ist auf einen Baum geklettert und kommt nicht mehr runter.
Bürgerkriegsartige Szenen – zumindest für die CDU: ein Schlachtfeld aus Blumen und Liebe. Menschen legen Blumen nieder Musikerinnen spielen vor Walter Lübcke Der Sohn eines Gründers der CDU Deutschland vor dem Denkmal in Berlin.

"Sie steht dort für einen aufrechten Konservativen, der Widerstand gegen rassistischen Hass leistete. Und damit für die Hoffnung, dass die Union nicht nur ein Unvereinbarkeitsbeschluss von der AfD trennt."

If you still don’t want to leave Spotify (despite the fact you can transfer your playlists to other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE), we ask you not to share your Spotify Wrapped this year.
