Il ministro Crosetto e Palantir controversa società di software e analisi dei dati di proprietà di Thiel, simbolo del trumpismo più spietato. Lo certifica una «procedura negoziata» e «secretata» del 2024: una relazione iniziata alcuni anni fa. Intanto dal 18 Thiel è a Roma, ufficialmente per tenere seminari sull’Anticristo e altri temi di religione e Intelligenza artificiale. Platea selezionata, luogo segreto e blindatissimo.

Per chi usa la scrittura swipe, HeliBoard ha avviato un progetto per la raccolta delle tracce di swipe al fine di creare un modello open source per realizzare una libreria alternativa a quella (chiusa) di Google.
Se avete già HeliBoard, trovare nelle impostazioni le istruzioni per partecipare.
Se non l'avete, cosa aspettate ad installarla e contribuire?!!

@informapirata@mastodon.uno @informatica quanto cazzo odio i siti che hanno a che fare con la privacy, FOSS, ecc. che hanno cookie e anche solo un numerino sull'icona di uBlock Origin (l'unica eccezione che accetto è per web stat selfhostate). È pura ipocrisia.

Sta nascendo office.eu, una suite che si pone in diretta concorrenza con i big del settore.
Nasce come soluzione europea, tecnologicamente svincolata da paesi terzi e, in particolare, dagli united states.
Ragazzi... per favore, fate i bravi, prendetevi…

Reading https://thatshubham.com/blog/news-audit ( HT @pluralistic@mamot.fr ) and I'm astounded.
I had heard of web ad auctions.
I had heard of edge computing.
I did not realize they were pushing their ad auction calculations onto your device!
Knowing this, I think ad blockers are too polite a response. Are there any browser plugins that send them something like a decompression bomb? Or maybe that interferes in the ranking so the cheapest bid is returned as the winner? My device is the one deciding, after all!
