Precisazione importante: Threads e Bluesky usano una federazione parziale ed entrambi i social non federano i loro utenti di default, solo una piccola minoranza è federata, nel caso di threads addirittura nessun utente europeo può federarsi.

Gli utenti federati per entrambi i social sono meno di 5000, per fare un confronto, solo su mastodon.social vediamo ben 180mila utenti!

Quindi si tratta al momento di un evento marginale al #fediverso che potete seguire o bloccare come volete

I've been coming back to this and find it ever more difficult to trace it back, so now I repost.

Reproducible examples, from a friend's feed, of what Copilot spits out when you ask it calculate women's salaries in python and ruby respectively.

It's important to note: these are not "errors" or "hallucinations". These are "correct", at least in the sense that they're giving you accurate data about the status quo reality of tech salaries, justice and fairness be damned.

But ask yourself what else they're repeating back to you that's not so easy to spot.

L'autodipendenza è stata una folle parentesi nella storia dell'uomo. Chiudiamola.

Per decenni le industrie automobilistiche hanno fatto profitti enormi facendo credere che l'#auto fosse la soluzione alla #mobilità

Abbiamo distrutto le città per fare spazio a quelle pericolose ed inefficienti scatole di metallo e solo adesso stiamo cercando di riparare i danni

Nelle 3 foto corso Vittorio Emanuele II a #Milano prima, durante, e dopo l'auto (da Lemmy se ne vede una)

Wir nehmen den aktuellen #eXit in Richtung #Bluesky zum Anlass, nochmals auf unseren Fokus auf das #Fediverse hinzuweisen:

Die Beiträge hier werden via https://fed.brid.gy auf Bluesky gespiegelt.

In 1945, the US War Department realized that its soldiers stationed in Europe fighting the Nazis probably needed a good pamphlet explaining what fascism was, and how it occurs ...

... so they wrote one

and in it, they noted that America was not at all immune to this

So they explained how fascism would come to the US

Heather Cox Richardson writes about it in the latest edition of her newsletter: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-26-2024

HI @Fanua, this account is actually the account to which the Guardian's press.coop followers have been migrated after Flipboard took over press.coop's accounts (read more here). https://about.flipboard.com/fediverse/flipboard-takes-over-press-coop-accounts/.

Unfortunately since The Guardian has stopped updating its account on Flipboard, we are no longer able to post its content. The account you're replying to here has been created to "house" The Guardian's followers in case they wish to build their own presence in the fediverse. We can move those followers to any server, any time, and will of course do that if The Guardian joins Mastodon.

The disinformation machine that is right wing/corporate-owned media, centralized social media owned by the likes of Zuck and Musk, and Russia is a huge reason why we’re where we are. We will get nowhere until and unless something is done to counter it.
