@hmiron In case YouTube isn't quite your thing, please know we're working on a PeerTube option currently, which will be available in the near future.

Oh wow!

Our Reddit community has surpassed 40,000 members 🎉 ..closing in on the impressive 55,000 users in our forums.

Witnessing such substantial growth in our #privacy-focused community is inspiring!

Hmz... Forums (this counts also for reddit) acts more like Hospitals. You join them if you have some problem. Sure there are also people who work there or visit for fun, but the majority is not. I'm not sure anyone would be proud of substantial growth in a hospital...

Well done! Though, I find the nearly 25k followers here, in Mastodon/fediverse, much more impressive and nice to have in the long term! Both communities of course do not search the same things here and there, but Aaron Swartz is not with us anymore and regarding privacy, Reddit is... What it is.




Reading an otherwise excellent book, “Polarized America,” published in 2006. But this line strikes me as a bit naive through the lens of December 2023:

“there is simply no question to us that the United States is a far more tolerant place [than] it was fifty years ago.”

The authors couldn’t have imagined what - and who - was coming. #politics

His example of it being less bigotry between "white ethnic groups" is, uh... telling.
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

This was in 2006. Did they forget the rampant Islamophobia from 2001-2003?

Critical insight from Bruce Schneier:

"Any AI regulations should place restrictions on those people and corporations. Otherwise the regulations are making the same category error I’ve been talking about. At the end of the day, there is always a human responsible for whatever the AI’s behavior is. And it’s the human who needs to be responsible for what they do—and what their companies do."

in reply to Nathan Schneider

@mia This cannot be emphasized enough. Actual human accountability is the absolute minimum requirement for any baseline. We cannot allow companies to escape liability with a shrug.
@mia
in reply to Nathan Schneider

AI is not autonomous. Humans are the Prime Movers of AI and must be responsible for their actions.

As an occasional journalist, I just love the way Ed Yong closes his latest OpEd at NYTs & couldn’t agree more. nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opinion… #GiftArticle #writing #journalism

“Journalists can act as a care-taking profession that soothes & nurtures. We are among the only professions that can do so at a scale commensurate with the scope of the crises before us. We can make people who feel invisible feel seen. We can make everyone else look.”

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

This is so true - and both a blessing and a curse. Politically, the current brand of right-wing extremists (not just in the US) would still be a fringe anomaly in some dark and lonely corner of the internet, if journalists back then hadn't felt that they're a curiosity that needed to be reported on?
in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

It is a beautiful piece. Shouldn’t even be considered opinion, imho.

We really need a nice mod manager/downloader for Doom on Linux. Think Prism Launcher for Minecraft but also with a full screen mode like emulation station, or at least an 'add to steam' button to be deck friendly...

Oh dear, a feel another unfinished programming project coming on...



Today we should all be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration was unanimously passed by the UN, and applies to all people of all colours, genders, religions, ages, etc. It was created to make the possibility of peace in the world more readily realisable.

You can read more about it on Heather Cox's blog.

Headless Wayland Is Getting A Whole Lot Easier #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/h-b1hvsmG6Y
in reply to Brodie Robertson

this is interesting, waiting till it somehow stabilizes to see if it is a way faster over network than old solutions

in reply to Muse

exactly - the more your ego is invested in something, the more risky to your ego the execution becomes.
in reply to Muse

What I have been doing is just getting some "ugly" stuff down so I don't lose the main ideas, and then clean it up and enhance it later. Sometimes much later.
