Open Street map 3
So, further to my previous post, I have reached out to community builders and have received a positive first response.
I have also posted a message to the UK OSM forum, so hopefully within Torbay, between various groups add lots of information to the map.
You should be able to tag me on OSM/Forum and Matrix with @zleap

Defense Against Dishonest Charts
I found this on the fediverse
This is a guide to protect ourselves and to preserve what is good about turning data into visual things.
A useful guide here, especially given we are seeing a lot of data and data representation, it can be hard to interpret, if we can differentiate between good / bad data it saves time being wasted.

Nextcloud Talk
As big tech is getting more of our data, using our data for making money or training AI or other things. There is a fightback, services such as Nextcloud can be self-hosted or hosted by trusted parties and can offer a whole range of services that can meet your needs.
Why use Big tech, who we can thank for the current chaos in the USA, with attacks on science, the LGBTQ and much more is it not time people really switched to services run by people who respect others.?
Stop giving your money to big tech billionaires. Nextcloud talk is an open source replacement for big tech video conferencing services.

Western AI and Russian propaganda Found on Fedi on Saturday
A well-funded Moscow-based global ‘news’ network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian propaganda
So following my previous post on AI we need to start asking questions as to where Ai gets data from, what safeguards are in place and what AI tech companies are doing about all this.
From what I see, VERY LITTLE INDEED.

European search index
We’re teaming up with Qwant to build a European search index
The European search engines (and competitors) Ecosia 🇩🇪 and Qwant 🇫🇷 are joining forces to build their own European search index!
And the best part? It'll be open and available to all of us!
This is great news for other small search engines, start-ups and the AI industry, as they'll now have the chance to use this index instead of the ones offered by Microsoft and Google.

Generators Unleash a Flood of New Nonconsensual Porn
All technology has a dark side, we need to accept that. This is another example of how AI can be used for very sinister purposes, and we need to have more (difficult) discussions on how to fully address the issue. If we don't then this will become normalised.

Dust Battery
More interesting findings about the early universe, I guess some of this makes sense as one of the 4 fundamental forces is Electromagnetic forces.
This research findings are detailed here. So if I understand this correctly, the early universe processes had that were had electrically charged dust particles, these produced magnetic fields as they moved around by the radiation from the 2nd generation of stars.
There is a related paper on arXiv on this research.
Update 13/1/2025 – a related or seemingly related discovery
