Can't get over the fact that several hierarchy levels within Google working on their primary product used to display geopolitical reality have approved adding a disinformation generator and then took extra care making it easy to use. From idea to shipping, they must have spent hundreds of man hours on this generative AI feature in Google Earth and noone in charge even considered the obvious possibility that this will harm the reputation of their product when it results in misinformation campaigns and world political turmoil?

@europeanspodcast@mastodon.social I'm halfway into the episode and am jumping up and down to respond: While it is true that air conditioning means pumping heat outside of the home, it doesn't necessarily have to be pumped into the neighborhood air. My own home's geothermal heat pump is doubling as a passive cooling system in summer, pumping the heat underground to be stored and partially used again later in autumn. It's pretty nifty, we're not blowing our heat towards the neighbours and it's also totally silent with no AC split unit outside. It's also possible to do this in larger scale and have municipal cold water circulation to city apartment blocks, making it then possible to capture and reuse the heat from the homes for later use. See the link for a large scale example in Paris. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/26/underground-revolution-seine-cooling-network-paris-buildings-heat I do admit that this is way more complicated than just putting up an AC, and passive cold water solutions like mine also have far less cooling capacity compared to the real deal: My cooling system is able to cool down the roof floor to <= 27° on a heatwave day where an actual AC would most likely be able to go down to <= 23°.

@isotopp@infosec.exchange mMn kannst Du eine generative KI nur dann wirklich sinnvoll nutzen, wenn Du als Anwender bereits Experte auf dem Thema bist, für das die generative KI für Dich Output produziert. Generative KI wird aber aktiv als Werkzeug vermarktet mit dem Versprechen, dass Du ohne vorherige eigene Expertise Aufgaben erfüllen kannst. A PhD in your pocket. Bzw dass Du keine Experten mehr einstellen musst, weil ungelernte Mitarbeiter diese Arbeit jetzt erledigen können. Dieses Versprechen hat die Mehrheit der Öffentlichkeit auch so geglaubt, wenn ich mir die Art ansehe, wie vom Lehrer über die Teamleitung bis hin zum CEO jetzt generative KI einsetzen. Das ist das Problem, das ich hier sehe. Nicht, dass generative KI jetzt "da ist" und "nicht wieder weg" geht. Sondern dass ein sehr sehr großer Teil ihrer Anwender fest daran glaubt, dass deren Ergebnisse gut genug sind für das, wo sie Chatbots einsetzen.

There is a sign in the Prora Museum that mentions briefly how the planners and engineers of the Prora Nazi Holiday Resort knew that contemporary infrastructure technology was incapable to serve the planned massive building complex with the required services (fresh water, sewage, food, waste disposal, heating) if it were ever completed as depicted by Kraft durch Freude propaganda. They knew the project will fail the moment actual people were to use it. But the mere fact of building and showing off a construction site was a propaganda success for leadership demonstrating will power. Nothing to learn from that for current events, I guess.

Another fun thing is remembering how the people who complained about EVs and heat pumps being an unreasonable burden on the grid's infrastructure are now the very same people betting on an obviously unrealistic goal of data center buildout FOMO that overwhelms both the local grid and the local water supply and will leave us with stranded assets of never completed or abandoned data center ruins.

So I bought a 25 inch e-ink colour digital signage display to play with. The product is EOL and has been replaced by a newer hardware generation, so one can now find this older device at somewhat bargain prices on eBay etc. It's a georgous piece of hardware, beautifully engineered and really nice to look at. But it's shocking to look closer at the firmware installed on it. The device is controlled by a bare bones Android OS and the pre-installed default application running on it is a piece of crap. Of course, the manufacturer Philips Professional Display Systems wants me to sign an NDA to get developer information. Luckily most of the required info can be found freely on the web. But it's amazing how the manufacturer makes enthusiasts' software development for their product unnecessarily difficult. I'm also pretty sure that an open source version of their default app would quickly result in a much better product package. NDAs for basic programming API documents are such a silly thing in 2026. /cc @Atc1441@mastodon.social

@sam@solent.social however, the absolute easiest solution if you want to avoid having to hassle with this is to just buy an external DVD drive and connect it via USB to the target computer. It seems like you can get a new one for < 30€ and used ones even less than that.

@sam@solent.social I do not understand the problem here. It is fairly easy to mount a CD/DVD on the first computer, share the folder via the network and then mount the shared folder over the network on the second computer. You can use sftp, smb or nfs, it shouldn't matter. All of this should be possible through GUI tools with no line of code, but you can also automate some of it using batch scripts.

@jollyorc@social.5f9.de thanks! Are you using Unifi with Sonos and can you directly compare the experience? Do you happen to know how long Unifi supports their hardware? While Fritz offers pretty long hardware support, I'm still unhappy about vendor-mandated obsolescence for devices when using the vendor's proprietary mesh setup. My naive hope is that OpenWRT lets me keep working old hardware longer while still getting current bugfixes.

Has anybody reading this replaced their Fritz Mesh + DECT setup in recent years, and how did it go? I'm somewhat unhappy with the Fritz! Mesh setup as it doesn't properly work with Sonos in my Switch topology. And am considering to move to an OpenWRT solution instead. Also, a single DECT base doesn't reach all parts of the building, so I'm currently using two Fritz!Boxes as independent DECT bases. There is no DECT handover with this solution. I'm wondering if a multicell DECT setup or a WiFi VOIP handset might be the better solution here. And if anyone out there is using something like that. Just asking into the void, thanks for responses.

@synRRg@social.cologne das Mesh-Setup *funktioniert* ja grundsätzlich hier mit einem Switch zwischen der Fritz!Box und den Fritz!Repeatern. Aber sobald ich Sonos-Lautsprecher in mehreren Räumen gruppiere, stürzen hier einzelne Fritz!Repeater ab und das Mesh-Netz bricht zusammen. Und diesen Vorfall beabeitet der Fritz-Support nicht, weil mein Setup mit Ethernet-Switch für sie nicht "erlaubt" ist.

Krass: Sobald ich einen Ethernet-Switch zwischen Mesh-Knoten im LAN habe, unterstützt Fritz das Setup nicht mehr. Problem: Ich brauche mehr Access-Points zu Hause, als meine Fritz!Box freie LAN-Buchsen hat. Lösung: Offiziell keine. Der Fritz-Support teilt mir mit, dass sie nur ein Mesh-Setup unterstützen, wo die Fritz!Repeater direkt mit der Fritz!Box verbunden sind. Sobald Du einen Switch im LAN zwischen Box und Repeater/Access-Point hast? -> "Wird nicht unterstützt." Ob es denn ein konkretes Switch-Modell gibt, mit dem es erlaubt ist? -> "Nein." Was ich jetzt machen soll? -> "Verbinden Sie die Fritz!Repeater nur direkt mit der Fritz!Box." Aber ich habe keine Buchse mehr frei? -> "Dann nehmen Sie halt WLAN."

RE: https://chaos.social/@Lilith/116848646278160084 Für den Wahlkampf 1998 schrieb ich einst - als Witz - ein kleines Perl-Skript, das die Wahlprogramme der Parteien per Markov-Kette remixen konnte. Der "Phrasendrescher" lief - klar als harmloser Gag markiert - auf politik-digital und führte zu durchaus freundlicher Berichterstattung von Politikjournalisten über den "digitalen Politiker", der hohle Phrasen auf Knopfdruck produzierte. Damals kontaktierte mich dann ein professioneller politischer Ghostwriter. Er war überzeugt, dass das Tool erstaunlich intelligent sei und mit nur wenig Weiterentwicklung das Zeug dazu hätte, ihm die Arbeit zu erleichtern. Das Tool, dem er Intelligenz zuwies, war eine gottverdammte Markov-Kette kombiniert mit einem Zufallszahlengenerator. Seitdem generative KI den öffentlichen Diskurs betreten hat, denke ich oft an dieses Erlebnis. Aus dem Artikel von @correctiv_org@correctiv.social: "Dort liegt, vier Monate alt, ein weiteres Projekt: 'PolitikText', mit Beispiel-Texten für CDU, Grüne, SPD – eine ähnliche Mechanik, KI-Wahlkampf am Fließband. Der Mann, der die Hetz-Maschine der AfD vertreibt, hat offenbar parallel geplant, ein ähnliches Werkzeug der Konkurrenz zu verkaufen."

@emilymbender Oh, TIL that there is an AI-related use of the term Clever Hans effect, unrelated to what I meant here. My reason to refer to Clever Hans is how the intelligence (or consciousness?) attributed to the chatbot isn't in the chatbot, but only in the mind of the observer.

@emilymbender When I explain my qualms about GenAI chatbots to others, I usually refer to Clever Hans as a historic example of a situation where an observer falsely attributes "intelligence" to a non-intelligent process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans

Lernmaterial für behinderte Schüler per generativer KI. Denn wenn es nur darum geht, *dass* man für gesetzliche Compliance Inklusion macht, aber nicht *wie*, ist Slop natürlich gut genug für Kinder, von denen niemand erwartet, dass sie sich beschweren. Die Haltung ist offenbar, dass die behinderten Störfaktoren doch froh sein sollen, dass sie überhaupt in die Schule dürfen.

@ZachWeinersmith Multiple classic horror monster archetypes and jump scares have been repurposed for childrens' books and TV. child story characters. Can't count the number of friendly vampires, wolves or T-Rexes who happen to be vegetarians in media aimed at kids. The classic zombie walk and other horror tropes are recurring visual gags in childrens' TV such as Shaun the Sheep and others. There's Hotel Transylvania and Monster High, aimed at primary school age viewers, where all the horror monsters are nice people.

Filmtipp für Eltern: "Die Schatzsuche im Blaumeisental"

...ist ein sehr schöner kleiner Film für neugierige Kinder bis Grundschulalter. Wir saßen heute mit insgesamt 7 Zuschauern in einem sonst leeren Kinosaal, das hat dieser tolle Film wirklich nicht verdient.

Apocalyptic: Over the past decades, the German rail system was made so dysfunctional by incompetent management that *even* the autistic folks in my social circle don't like riding the train anymore. (Endlessly talking about trains is so typical for autistic kids, it's listed as an example in the medical diagnostic assessment criteria.)
