#fud — Public Fediverse posts

So, a bit more on the topic of #technology sucking now. Hopefully this is the last post. I think I've found a succinct way to express my view on the topic: #harmminimization or #harmreduction.

Asking duckduckgo whether Copilot is for entertainment purposes only some "Search Assist" answers:
"
Overview of Copilot's Purpose

Microsoft's Copilot is explicitly described as being "for entertainment purposes only." This means that users should not rely on it for important advice or decisions.
Key Points
Reliability and Accuracy

Copilot may generate responses that are:
Inaccurate
Incomplete
Misleading
[...]
The terms of use for Copilot emphasize that it can make mistakes and may not function as intended. Users are encouraged to use Copilot at their own risk.

In summary, while Copilot can be a fun and engaging tool, it is not designed to provide reliable information or advice.

Looks like this Search Assist is not up to date and spreading #FUD?

Regulatory FUD and the China Label: Who Really Benefits From AI Panic

#Mastodon and the wider #Fediverse are native #openweb projects built on the #4opens. Attempts to "harden" and "secure" them by closing them down miss the point: openness is the core strength, not the weakness.

* Use #ActivityPub for public media and publishing.

* Use encrypted P2P chat for private communication.

Mixing these roles, or spreading #FUD to justify unnecessary security layers on public media, doesn't make activists safe, it undermines the very openness that makes grassroots organising possible.

Use the right tool for the right job. #FOSS

It's 3:21 AM and I can't sleep because I'm thinking about the surgery I'm having next week, and I still haven't got the money I need. I'm sad and worried.

Gaza Verified accounts are verified via video calls using Jitsi by our team:

Verification asserts that the person/their family are Palestinian and from Gaza. That’s it. It’s not a character reference. It just says “this person is suffering genocide.”

I know you’re German so it’s hard but maybe try and not be a dick about people suffering genocide, even if it’s one that your government is the world’s second-largest arms dealer for.

«FUD» se transforma en «FUT» para celebrar la pasión mundialista

Respaldada por el analista y exfutbolista Luis García como aliado estratégico, esta iniciativa capitaliza la relevancia cultural para consolidar el liderazgo indiscutible de FUD.

Por Deyanira Vázquez | Reportera                                        

Sigma Foods, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Sigma Foods”), anunció que su marca FUD cambiará su identidad visual para adoptar el nombre FUT durante el periodo mundialista en cuatro de sus productos más populares y la línea especial con temática de futbol.

Esta apuesta forma parte de una estrategia enfocada en el consumidor para aprovechar este periodo donde el comportamiento de compra aumentará de manera predecible. Tal como lo indica el estudio “De la cancha al hogar”, elaborado por la firma NielsenIQ (NIQ), se anticipa un incremento en el consumo de los hogares, ya que siete de cada diez mexicanos seguirán el torneo por televisión, redefiniendo la dinámica de consumo hacia reuniones privadas y compra de productos listos para compartir.

En ese contexto, el análisis identificó que el llamado “canasto deportivo”, compuesto por botanas, carnes frías, quesos, pan de caja y bebidas entre otros productos, concentrará el 46% del presupuesto familiar durante este evento deportivo.

La iniciativa “Aliviánate, que hay FUT” busca conectar de manera directa con la pasión de las familias mexicanas por el fútbol, adaptando la identidad visual de una marca con más de 70 años de historia para reflejar el estilo de vida, la emoción y los encuentros alrededor de la mesa y la televisión. –sn–

Da hier ja periodisch FUD verbreitet wird bezüglich Messengern die tatsächlich digital unabhängig machen (nein nicht Signal) nochmal ein Link zu einem möglichen sehr einfachen Einstieg:

und noch ein Video wie das dann aussieht:

The Boy That Cried #Mythos: Verification is Collapsing Trust in #Anthropic by flyingpenguin

Admins getting upset that members of their instances will soon have the ability to have truly private conversations with others on #fedi due to upcoming #E2EE concern me.

Yes some aspects of moderation, trust and safety may need to evolve, but this is not a new problem and malicious/hostile administrators are also a #TrustAndSafety concern deserving of mitigation.

Spreading #FUD about the feature also raises my hackles.

@Mareike2405 Ganz viele Grüße an Irakli!

Und ja, seit Iraklis Aufenthalt am @tcdh 2024 hat sich viel getan. Wir waren 2025 an der TSU und haben #ELTeC-geo Pläne geschmiedet, und dieses Jahr im Sommer wird @ClaudiaBamberg wieder in Sachen #FuD und #Briefe dort sein.

@thenewoil and yet, passkeys are still single-source authenticators. As a result, they are not as secure as proper 2FA systems, simply better than passwords alone.
