not that I want to defend bluesky, far from it, but this draconian bullshit is because of the UK government - not bluesky. the online safety act means this isnt going away. vpns are a thing.
Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.
I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

Tens of thousands of people in the Hague protesting the Dutch government’s failure to respond meaningfully to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Dressed in red to mark the ‘red line’ that has been crossed.

What is going on, is that Israel is killing the journalists with targeted hits. There are less journalists sharing information about Gaza. Many because they are dead. Meanwhile, social media companies like Bluesky, are suppressing the information coming from regular people.

Elon Musk changing AI to do Holocaust Denialism is 100% what everyone was warning about. And it's only being caught because Elon Musk is a ham handed loser with no real talent. A competent person behind the scenes using AI to spread propaganda will be absolutely armageddon for truth as a whole.

I struggle with the reporting on ChatGPT in education because it often confirms society’s negative bias against young people—oh no, this generation is unsaveable!—when it’s possible to just educate people to be less credulous about it. which is why I wrote this: so teachers could print and assign it
ChatGPT Is Everywhere — Why Aren't We Talking About Its Environmental Costs?
One estimate found that a single ChatGPT search uses 10 times the energy of a normal Google search.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"
