The automated migration notification is interesting, I assume it’s everyone that was subscribed to the old one. How does it work?

People will scroll up and see the can anyway 😄

Facebook/Meta made itself to be the de facto method for accessing the internet in the region, and then refused to regulate its engagement-based algorithm as it fueled violence and unrest in the region

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/09/myanmar-facebooks-systems-promoted-violence-against-rohingya-meta-owes-reparations-new-report/

Facebook owner Meta’s dangerous algorithms and reckless pursuit of profit substantially contributed to the atrocities perpetrated by the Myanmar military against the Rohingya people in 2017, Amnesty International said in a new report published today.

The Social Atrocity: Meta and the right to remedy for the Rohingya, details how Meta knew or should have known that Facebook’s algorithmic systems were supercharging the spread of harmful anti-Rohingya content in Myanmar, but the company still failed to act.

“In 2017, the Rohingya were killed, tortured, raped, and displaced in the thousands as part of the Myanmar security forces’ campaign of ethnic cleansing. In the months and years leading up to the atrocities, Facebook’s algorithms were intensifying a storm of hatred against the Rohingya which contributed to real-world violence,” said Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.

Also beautiful places

If you have a moment, do you have any foods from Burma that you would recommend we try someday?

IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it’s running again

The description sounds more like an AI receptionist than an AI nurse. It would be helpful if patients could ask follow-up questions to the automated phone call before an appointment. Some clinics don’t have the manpower for that, and especially not in all the languages that the local population might speak.

I’d be interested in seeing how good the model actually is, and how it determines when to pass it along to a human

The concern is with making sure the AI model is only used where it makes sense. Those who are looking to cut costs will try and use it everywhere, and that needs to be kept in check

[no major spoilers in this comment]

I asked two separate friends in the medical field for what they thought of the show, and both of them started with saying that the character is annoying 😄

I think that’s the goal, since there ARE people like that in the field that are difficult to work with. It also gives her room to grow and be ‘humbled’ through the course of the show.

If you had a pet dinosaur, what’s the first thing you would do?

Also what would you name it?

The key is that you need to subscribe to the type of content you want to see. There’s no company here deciding what your feed is going to be.

@BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world, what kind of stuff are you interested in? I’m happy to help you find related communities :)

I can also see some people being opposed to them spending the donation money on ads, since they’d be giving money to companies that may be in opposition to what we’re doing here (or ideological reasons around the advertising industry in general).

Maybe if there was a separate pool of donations specifically for advertising, then people who want to support that can donate to it? Those who don’t can still donate to the projects themselves

Thanks!

I think it’s still helpful for people that primarily use the subscribed feed, in case they are subscribed to !linux@lemmy.ml, but not !privacy@lemmy.ml

😬

Could be worth sharing this around so more people are aware of it. !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !opensource@programming.dev maybe? I can cross post it myself, but I’m not as familiar with the topic to respond to comments/questions

only proprietary, ad-infested client

There are a handful of them, Sync and Boost have ads / ad-free versions and Connect was closed but without ads from what I remember. I’m not familiar with the rest of the closed source ones

I keep Voyager installed as the FOSS alternative, and then the rest I add and remove every now and then to try out.

Boost and Sync are popular because people coming from Reddit have used them for years, and are familiar with the interface / dev. If it helps them get familiar with the fediverse then I’m all for it

Depending on what restrictions you have, you could try VSCode? That’s what students were told to do at my university for remote C / C++ development off the school’s servers

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh

I’m not familiar with the others, but for vscode

• click the symbol that looks like >< in the bottom left
• potentially install the remote SSH add-on if it asks for it
• log in
• open the left sidebar and tell it to open the folder you are developing in

I imagine it’s because that is the source that the person saw the article on and/or they don’t notice the issue because of adblock/pi-hole.

I’ve done that a few times where I link a site that’s broken without adblockers, or it has a paywall that only shows up part of the time.

Gentle reminders help! It might be cool to have a bot that checks a resource like ground news and links to the same article on a few alternate sources

If someone wants to read an interesting (but complex) explanation of how it works

Oh that’s cool, does your device have hardware keys then?

It could be some AB testing

The second link has some history on where this idea came from

Something feels off with the UI, maybe the rounding or padding?
