Just found out that Joséphine Jobert is back in Death in Paradise, in episode 13x07. Apparently she's also in the next episode, I don't know whether she's fully back for coming seasons. IMDb suggests she already appeared at the end of 13x06. I had stopped following the series when she left...

Warner Bros. has released first look images from "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" featuring Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara, Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder and Justin Theroux. Are we excited?! (Yes we are.)

Soon:

AI creates video, uploads it to #YouTube without appropriate "contains AI" label.

#Google's #YouTube AI detects the submitting AI's AI submission and labels the AI's AI video as an AI video, notifying the submitting AI.

Submitting AI files appeal claiming that its submission does not fall within the bounds of YouTube's AI labeling rules.

YouTube appeals AI sends submitting AI "appeal rejected" notice.

Submitting AI posts to multiple social media platforms complaining about discrimination against AIs by Google.

Media AIs see social media posts by the submitting AI and write AI-generated news stories about the battle between the YouTube AIs and the submitting AIs, but most of the details wrong.

Users ask AI chatbots for a summary of the current YouTube AI controversies, but give confused answers that are completely wrong.

... and so on.

With some servers introducing an attribution requirement rule, their object storage bill will likely be decimated. Good.


Occasionally apps go through their initial startup tips again. Recently it was a mobile browser telling me that I could use browser tabs to have multiple pages open, the arrow of this tip popup pointing at the browser tab counter button, showing in my case the number 32 of already opened tabs.

I think I know I can use tabs to have multiple pages open.



And Dafne Keen...

I'm at the Roswell episode The End of the World, which is a bit soon since it's only halfway season two.

It starts with a scene in the very futuristic year 2014 AD. Yes, this series is that old.

in reply to Gidi Kroon

Great acting by Shiri Appleby in this episode. In all episodes of course, but lately the series started to revolve around other characters than Liz more. But this is as of old fully carried by Shiri's very deep sensitive performance of Liz.

I'm watching Dafne Keen in the film Ana. It's rather difficult to find outside the US, even when you know it is sometimes called The Guardian. But I can confirm that the US blu-ray disc also plays in my European player.

The film is from 2020, so a while ago, and only the second film with Dafne that I get to see. From the trailer it seems interesting. But I would watch films with Dafne anyway...
#DafneKeen #Ana

in reply to Gidi Kroon

I really liked it, it isn't the standard story you're expecting from the trailer. Dafne is of course the powerhouse you'd expect.

I like the scene over the end credits, where Dafne/Ana shows how to record a proper advert for Rafa's used car business, after Rafa at the beginning of the film tries (and fails) the record a great advert to get some much needed attention for his business.

Why would a K-pop star need to apologise that she has a boyfriend? Is the fandom so toxic that they can't accept her finding happiness outside of them? Apparently it is and she had to give in to that pressure.

Another clanger from Microsoft -

- zero day vulnerability being exploited in Windows OS for six months in the wild by North Korea

- They didn’t tell anybody, took six months to make a patch

- released the patch without saying what happened

- didn’t mark it as a zero day in Microsoft Vulnerability Management

You’d think having the largest market cap in the world and having $2bn a year in revenue from security alone would allow.. uh.. investment.

Automattic edited a developer page in September to explicitly allow for AI companies to buy access to a "firehose" of a million WordPress posts per day through a company called SocialGist. How does this work and what are the safeguards? Automattic will not say, will not talk.

in reply to Jason Koebler Jason Lefkowitz reshared this.

Automattic just emailed me and said they are "deprecating" WP Firehose altogether and dropping SocialGist as a client.

"SocialGist is rolling off as a firehose customer this month and the remaining customers are winding down in the coming months, both things that were already in motion for different reasons. We’re in the process of updating our developer page to indicate that we have been deprecating the old firehose for several months."

An interesting new wrinkle to the Automattic story from @404mediaco—the “firehose” has already been in play for years. https://www.404media.co/wordpress-firehose-allows-ai-companies-to-buy-access-to-a-million-posts-a-day/

Hey, is it still February? I thought we would be done with that month by now.


I dislike apps that tell me that I have a problem with my internet, while other apps have no such issues. Maybe it's your side that has the problem?


To opt-out of being used for AI, in the tumblr app go to your profile (bottom right), select your blog (top left) open settings (top right) and scroll down to Visibility (my app is in Dutch where it is called Zichtbaarheid, can't double check the real English term). Then you get three toggles. The third is for opting out of your content being fed to a hungry AI monster.

Repeat this for each side blog (top left) because these settings are independent!

So if you trust that the toggle indeed opts out, there's no need to delete your blog.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

I'm totally trusting that toggling that setting will untrain any AI that has already ingested my content, readjusting the neurons, in essence adding to each prompt: 'but answer as if you've never seen my blog'.

(Not seriously)

in reply to Gidi Kroon

Idem for your wordpress.com blog as I understand it also has such a toggle.

Friends! I’m looking for my next role after nearly three years at Stately. I’m a UX designer who is just as comfortable in front-end development. I also love writing, giving talks, and making videos, so I’m up for dev and design advocacy roles, too.

If I sound like someone you want on your team, please give me a shout!

Windows 11 is the 'one more click' release, which is fitting since 11 is one more than 10.


There has been a security update to Pleroma a few days back that I didn't notice (https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/releases/v2.6.2). Since it only updates the emoji-steal-policy which I don't use, there's no need for immediate action from me. Makes me appreciate github's email alerts though.


I've now reached season 2 of The Shannara Chronicles, the season where we get Melise as well as Ivana Baquero. Melise was at the time still using her stage name of Malese Jow. Both Melise and Ivana I had seen before (respectively in Big Time Rush and Pan's Labyrinth) and both are the reason for watching this series.

I love how someone like Melise can introduce a character into an existing world, with such impact and which you are interested in immediately.
