When telling big national news stories, can we deliver local digital versions to every town in the UK? What about to every ward? Read more about our latest experiment in semi-automated content generation here https://bbcnewslabs.co.uk/news/2023/salco-2023/
Don't forget to stream Good Omens (Seasons 1 and 2), give them good ratings, keep sharing it across social media and support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to help make Season 3 happen! The writers and actors deserve a livable income and reasonable work hours/conditions, as well as the opportunity to make the high-quality art they want to share with the world 💚
"In the waning days of the Cold War, Rainer Sonntag helped fuel a neo-Nazi movement that still plagues Germany today. He was also a Communist spy—and worked for Vladimir Putin."
Nope we have a big Nazi problem and most of us learn that the only right way to go about it is to be very self critical with our history and to call those racist dipshits out whenever we can

Half of Germany where commie spys
That’s a hell of a statement. I wish I could show you how wrong you are. Just look at the origin of our past terrorist attacks and you will see a trend and a priority list for us.
If you look close enough to all the bullshit destabilising western countries, there’s always Russian influence at the end of the string.
Even Trump election was made with Russian influence, which caused a huge division in the west. That’s the type of strategy they used in countries like Ukraine (worked until they launched a full invasion).
@elonjet people has to take cars for emission control every once in a while. Might be a good time to do the same for private jets, and charge an environmental tax. This is beyond any civilized environmental standard

Magic Earth is an alternative to Waze and Google Maps with crowdsourced traffic and road hazard information
As part of a #BigTechDiet, I've been hoping to find an alternative to #Waze and #Google Maps - a navigation app that can tell me about slowdowns, hazards, and speed traps based on reports from other users. Today, I learned about Magic Earth.
It's proprietary, but not from FAANG or a company subject to the government of China, Russia, or Five Eyes countries. It collects minimal user data and has a good privacy policy. There are versions for both Android and iOS, and the Android version works without Google services.
I would say just buy TomTom Go, only 20 euros a year and no Google BS. Or if you really don’t want to pay use Amigo, it’s also from TomTom with the same life traffic etc.
Getting old sucks, not just because some things are physically more difficult, but because sometimes our favorite hobbies follow a diverging track that makes partaking in them increasingly difficult, mentally.
@scopique I've thought about this as a post-50 gamer. Not much appeals to me anymore. The genres I'm interested in have changed but more than anything AAA games have little appeal to me any longer. Indy games have replaced the hardcore shooter, strategy, and even RPG for me.
At the same time, games with a "hardcore" or ironman-type mode are more appealing. Maybe something to do with growing up on 80s games with no saves.
tl;dr Books, most likely generated by an LLM, were being sold on Amazon under Jane Friedman's name. The same books were added to her Goodreads profile. Amazon initially refused to remove the books. If it's happening to her, it's definitely happening to other authors.
