When excerpting news articles, I sometimes encounter invisible Word Joiner characters, randomly inserted. Symptomatic of LLM-generated text. Even seen blog posts with broken links because such chars were lurking in urls. I found a site that identifies & cleans em from pasted text.

This site offers a similar service & says OpenAI called em a quirk not watermark.

RE: @WomenArchys@mastodon.social

"Section 106, as part of the law itself, only says that a federal entity has to take into account its impact on historic resources. It doesn’t necessarily say how[. Trump goons are trying] to rewrite [the] implementing regulations to the exclusion of substantial public input, public participation, tribal input, and consultation with lower & local government … and turns it into agency discretion. This is a real concentration of federal power in determining what history matters and what doesn't."

@reynir@social.data.coop @sarahtaber@mastodon.online "video goes up tomorrow 9am Eastern time!" I missed that sentence at first. Although I thought scheduled videos usually have a thumbnail and countdown instead of being private.

@Nonilex@masto.ai John Abernathy on bsky: "I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye." https://bsky.app/profile/anotherjon.bsky.social/post/3mcmzzjrjyc2u In WW2, the company famously "transferred" Jewish employees to their offices outside of Germany, gave them a camera & a new job.

@twilliability@genart.social Cool! Another project, MastoFeeder, didn't handle ATOM or query strings (?this=that&the=other). Folks directly requested new feeds by hand-editing usernames, so MastoFeeder never got to see unmangled urls. https://github.com/jehna/mastofeeder Example CGPGrey YT ATOM feed: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC2C_jShtL725hvbm1arSV9w OpenRSS is a service that generates RSS for arbitrary sites. Mitigated the shortcomings. Parrot doesn't have those limitations but may benefit for sites lacking feeds. https://openrss.org/
