The Chinese bulk carrier Yi Peng 3 has fully stopped in the Kattegat bay. Danish patrol ship HDMS Søløven is next to it. Danish boarding parties might be on the Chinese cargo ship, which is suspected to be responsible for cutting two undersea cable in the Baltic Sea.

The skipper of the Chinese ship is a Russian national and the route leads from Ust-Luga (Russia) to Port Said (Egypt).

Hey so if you have harassment or stalking, there are about zero tools on Masto to protect you.

Mute and block only works if they stick to one account, which they don't. Mine has about 10 that I know of so far.

Instance blocking helps on occasion, but again, you can register accounts on many instances.

Can you filter words, sure.

Telling me to stay off socials is not a productive or useful answer. Thanks.

I am simply speaking up because others are experiencing prolonged and targeted harassment too and I want you to know it exists here.

Please read all the comments some are useful, many are not. 😅

Men: Be an ally and disrupt the bro code. When you hear harassment directed at women, you can say:
- "Not funny"
- “We don’t do that here.”
- “I find that offense, and I don’t ever want to hear that again.”

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon & the Fediverse whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.

The actual outcome of this election with •the whole US population• as the denominator:

22% voted for Harris
23% voted for Trump
<1% voted for other
26% eligible but did not vote*
28% not eligible to vote

* (whether by choice or by voter suppression)

Numbers might shift a tiny bit as last votes are counted, but this is close to the final tally.

Just sit with that for one quality minute. Think about what stories people are telling about this election. Then think about what stories are true.

Is there a "Linear Algebra Done Right" but it's Statistics?

* Thing little book
* Has a perspective
* Boils down the subject but with rigor
* Medium hard and math-facing in presentation

Hmmm 🤔🚀

Tomorrow will mark 1,000 days since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

On this despicable anniversary, we honour the brave Ukrainians working and fighting for a free Ukraine with the colours of its flag on our headquarters.

Our enduring friendship and solidarity are here to stay. So is our commitment to work shoulder to shoulder towards a peaceful future within our Union.

Слава Україні! Europe is with you!

#EU #StandWithUkraine

Bluesky as a supposed "safe haven" from X has to be the quintessential example of the old adage: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." And a lot of people are being fooled twice.

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

OpenAI have acknowledged that their latest LLM, dubbed "Orion", is only a smal improvement on previous models, despite an order of magnitude more time, money and resources being used to train it.

I called it 18 months ago. This is about as good as LLMs are gonna get folks.

*Now* can we get back to solving real problems?

In case you needed another reason to support @internetarchive .. consider their End of Term project, which attempts to archive a big chunk of the US Government's web presence before each new 4-year presidential term begins.

This is truly a race against time, to preserve information that may no longer be available on the live web for open access.
