Good morning. Time to share another machine from my collection. (Don't worry, my collection is kinda small so this won't last forever)
This ZX Spectrum +2 was sent to me by the awesome @GedgeHead including a genuine Sinclair joystick and the lightgun. I've made a few mods to clean up the video on it and it's my main Speccy I use for gaming and demos. The power supply shown here is just an empty case into which I put a modern switch-mode 110v US power supply - as well as a power switch like any civilized computer 😛😛🤣

Può essere comodo usare il computer per controllare lo smartphone. Lo si può fare con scrcpy un #softwarelibero che gira su tutti i sistemi operativi qui una guida https://wp.me/plgXU-f9 @scuola

Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!

Rendersi conto delle mediazioni occulte fa la differenza fra cultura e incultura: https://btfp.sp.unipi.it/dida/resp/ar01s35.xhtml#caverna Cosa che, a scuola da Google: https://gliasinirivista.org/a-scuola-da-google/ è diventata ancor più difficile.

"Consumatori critici nel digitale": bel laboratorio condotto da @gubi a Fa' LaCosa Giusta 2021. E siccome tenere la registrazione di questa cosa solo su yt è un po' un controsenso, eccola disponibile su peertube: https://video.resolutions.it/w/cL6RnZNTU8X8dV1z2YrA9o

mi è stato anche detto che sono stato definito "tossico"...
e ovviamente la cosa potrebbe ricadere nella diffamazione, ma non ho voglia di scomodare il mio avvocato per accertarmene
naturalmente Francesco, se non hai scritto queste parole che mi sono state riportate, mi scuso... sentiti libero di smentirle.

Che onore @informapirata! 🤣
Non mi state dando un po' troppa importanza?
You are welcome.

@Shamar Yes, Tay was actually what I was thinking of when I wrote the scenario. This morning I wrote this post on doing better going forward with how I use phrases from the industry… :)
The challenge is to describe these difference in layman’s terms. The issues with deceptive language I also need to write more about in the section on digital obfuscation.
So thank you for this! You are helping me improve my intentional communication in this area.
Progress has a political (and positive) connotation.
There is plenty of sample where such sort of bots' statistical programming included racist and sexist slur.
Do you remember #Microsoft Tay?

Did it "progress"?
The programmers (self appointed as "data scientist") didn't select each input tweet by themselves but selected the data source (#Twitter) and designed how such data were turned into vectors, how their dimensionality was reduced and so forth...
The exact same software, computing the exact same output for any given input, could be programmed by collecting the datasource before hand.
So why releasing a pre-alpha software and using "users" to provide its (data)source over time to statistically program it should clear "data scientist" responsibility?
Why it should allow company to waive their legal accauntability?
If you talk (and think) in term of statistical programming instead of #ArtificialIntelligence, a lot of grey areas suddenly becomes cristal clear, several ethical concerns becomes trivial and all accountability issues simply disappear.
So, no: there is no "progress" in a software programmed statistically over time, just irresponsible companies shipping unfinished software and math-washing their own accountability over the externality such software produce for the whole society.

Bravo, lavora.
"Il lavoro rende liberi!"
Dov'è che l'ho letta?
Un toot di @Confindustria, probabilmente... 🤣

(pensaci un attimo: siamo la prima classe di lavoratori che si porta i mezzi di produzione saldamente ancorati al collo... mica possono chiamarci "lavoratori" che se no vinciamo il conflitto di classe senza nemmeno fare la rivoluzione!)
@minimalprocedure@octodon.social
No, noi non siamo lavoratori: siamo "risorse umane".
Per chi fosse interessato è uscito l'ultimo numero della rivista Gli Asini, dedicato quasi interamente a #Scuola, #Lavoro e #tecnologia (si parla di #EdTech, #SoftwareLibero, #CapitalismoDellaSorveglianza, ma anche di criptomenate, #NTF etc...)
