136. Physicists prove the Universe isn't a simulation after all
New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic understanding,” something no computation can replicate. This discovery challenges the simulation hypothesis and reveals that the universe’s foundations exist beyond any algorithmic system.

138. YouTube caught making AI-edits to videos and adding misleading AI summaries
YouTube is now using AI to alter people's videos without permission. (There are threads about this at https://mastodon.content.town/@operationpuppet/115640694705318541 & https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/115598837629003478 etc) This is really disturbing and dangerous. It's more insidious than censorship because viewers cannot tell a video has been altered. If you post to YouTube, I'd strongly recommend you start ALSO posting to PeerTube, either on your own server or a public server. There's a complete guide here: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-publish-videos-and-audio-on-peertube #PeerTube #YouTube

146. The Syncthing Android drama is exploding
the #Syncthing Android drama is exploding. https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android/issues/16 @fdroidorg@floss.social at this point is being used to push out an app with sensitive permissions that's been taken over by an unknown individual who refuses to engage with its large community of users and developers. I STRONGLY recommend disabling updates from Fdroid, if not uninstalling and manually installing 2.0.11.2, or installing the Google Play version which has a different maintainer. this is extremely shady and it's just looking worse as time goes on. I'll link to the Syncthing forum thread from about where I left off last time in a subsequent post. #SyncthingFork #SyncthingAndroid
