@_elena
isn't running their own instance at https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/about kind of launching/funding a social media platform 😉
(i know, an instance doesn't make a whole platform...)
Have fun at #FOSDEM

Fact check: Is the EU launching a social media platform called #WSocial?
"A spokesperson for the European Commission told The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking team, that the EU is not launching or funding any social media platform, and that there is currently no EU-backed project called "W"
[...] W is a privately owned social media start-up incorporated in Sweden, backed by private investors mainly from the Nordic region."

☀️ This looks like more dishonest messaging by big tech & venture capital:
"According to its CEO, Anna Zeiter, W is a privately owned social media start-up incorporated in Sweden, backed by private investors mainly from the Nordic region."

☀️ CEO of W, Anna Zeiter, was #eBay Chief Privacy Officer and VP #AI and Data Responsibility:
"... [eBay's AI] policies have recently come under regulatory scrutiny, particularly in Europe where privacy authorities in Germany have raised concerns about [eBay training AI with user data after users complained]."
"Sellers have also raised transparency concerns around ways that eBay may be using AI to alter their listing information without their explicit permission and without clear disclosure to them or to consumers..."

Ouch! Also involved with Flo? Such a terrible, distasteful invasion of health privacy. Who would trust those involved with user data?
Thanks for sharing this Elena!

@sunnythesheep @UlrikeHahn @pink @_elena @euronews That's a good one, but the initial comment likely referenced the "EU is not launching or funding any social media platform" part :)

@_elena @euronews This is quite strange, since the EU seems to host a mastodon instance for the officials https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/explore

@informapirata @signorina37 @eticadigitale ottima analisi: un concentrato di verità assoluta, senza se e senza ma.
Io spesso mi soffermo sugli aspetti della tecnologia dove eri praticamente costretto a leggere il manuale per saperla usare, e avere una dose di pazienza non indifferente, tipo regolare l'azimuth di un lettore di cassette, ma c'era anche il discorso giochi, decisamente più incisivo e comune, che avevo "rimosso".
Con le Crystal Ball e il DAS ci sono cresciuto 😃

Slug Algorithm for On-GPU Rendering of Fonts with Bézier Curves now in Public Domain
The Slug Algorithm has been around for a decade now, mostly quietly rendering fonts and later entire GUIs using Bézier curves directly on the GPU for games and other types of software, but due to its proprietary nature it didn’t see much adoption outside of commercial settings. This has now changed with its author, [Eric Lengyel], releasing it to the public domain without any limitations.
Originally [Eric] had received a software patent in 2019 for the algorithm that would have prevented anyone else from implementing it until the patent’s expiration in 2038. Since 2016 [Eric] and his business have however had in his eyes sufficient benefit from the patent, making it unnecessary to hold on to it any longer and retain such exclusivity.
To help anyone with implementing their own version of the algorithm, there is a GitHub repository containing reference shader implementations with plenty of inline comments that should help anyone with some shader experience get started.
Although pretty niche in the eyes of the average person, the benefits of using on-GPU rendering of elements like fonts are obvious in terms of rendering optimization. With this change open source rendering engines for games and more can finally also use it as well.
Thanks to [Footleg] for the tip.

@Moosader it's really good too

We report during the half hour in the evening when birds cannot help but sing. Recently, a few more species have joined the sparrows that kept on chirping through winter. We can only really pick out the blackbirds in the mix. It gets late, and dark, and the birds do not quiet.
