How cool would it be if PGP Signed message headers would be recognised from within the HTML code of web pages.

All of Microsoft's rush in shoving AI down our lives is making me want to break ties with them completely as soon as possible.

Watching the A.I. Dilemma presentation by the Center for Humane Technology with awe. https://vimeo.com/809258916/92b420d98a

Just had a terrible experience with an "emotional agent", an AI powered assistant application which represents a virtual person which is supposed to assist patients that are suffering from stress. The experience with the system was anything but relaxing. Mostly because of the assumptions made by the developers of the application: not everyone has the latest powerful macbook, not everyone connects to the internet through a high-speed connection, not everyone is actually using a laptop, some people still use a PC where a camera and a microphone setup is a bit more complicated to set up. Also the scripting of the session was really bad. If this was a benchmark for these kind of systems, then there is still a lot of work to be done.

I don't really fear AI, I do worry about the businesses controlling access to powerful AI and are monetizing the services it is supposed to render to humanity. I fear Cyberdyne Systems, not Skynet itself.

Can't remember when I had a full night's sleep lastly.

We're renovating our house and the dust is everywhere. Every time I clean it up, I am grateful that we even have a house to love, live and clean in.

So, the weekend can start now.

Had a great time with my son this afternoon - he's getting really fast on his little bike - becoming harder to keep up with him! Should tell him soon how the gear-shifter works. Want to wait because it'll only make him faster when he figures it out.

Giving up on IPFS - at least for a while - having too many issues lately with the software and nobody is pinning my stuff anyway.

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein!

Getting to know and learning to play Go (or Baduk or Weiqi) while on the train to München is not a bad way to spend ones time. Can't believe I am 43 years already and never had really tried it before.

I would really like to ditch Windows, but my scanner needs are not allowing me to do this yet just yet.

Is there a solution for a real world problem we could build today using Earthstar Project that would help people in need?

Only a mere 1000 kms away from where I am sitting people are killing each other with battle tanks - while I am looking at smashing bugs in software - and I don't know how to really feel about this.

I don't think anybody would miss my personal "homepage" site but myself. Having one of those pessimistic moments where I am thinking - is having an online "presence" even and at all worth it for me? What is it really contributing to the Internet? I have some visitors, which I see through good old AwStats, but am I making their day or providing them with an answer to a longing question? Probably not...

Supported #Keyoxide with a small contribution through their Ko-fi page. Since I have been using it as a way to confirm my online identities, and it is entirely donation funded, I figured it was time for me to chip in as well.

One of the aspects I love about the #Mastodon servers or instances is that every server's content and all the author's public posts can be visited, read and seen online in any web browser without "register to see more nags" - it's open Web as it should be!
