I wonder if Steam Controller will be recognized as such with this version instead of generic controller.

The wave of new AI tools comes with a ton of new #privacy concerns.

A new website where you can upload a photo to identify people shows it’s not limited to those who use AI themselves. And it shows why you should avoid giving your data to random companies.

Do these developments worry you? They worry us..

Hoping nextcloud don't integrate it in their next release. I've been pretty dismayed by the whole "AI is fun, everyone's doing, join in!" integrations in nextcloud in recent releases.

Wenn ich in #Friendica auf das Häuschen also mein Profil klicke und meine Beiträge ansehe, dann habe ich eine komische Ansicht.
Oben siehts noch normal aus und weiter unten überlappen die Beiträge die Fenster-Breite.
Die oberen Beiträge die normal angezeigt werden, kann ich nicht anklicken, bearbeiten usw. Bei den unteren Beiträgen die so komisch angezeigt werden, ist das möglich.
Getestet habe ich das unter Mull Android,

Firefox Android, Firefox Linux, Librewolf, und Ungoogled Chromium. Überall dasselbe Spielchen.

Falls es hilft: nicht eingeloggt sieht alles normal aus.

@vinzv
Das kann ich nicht bestätigen. Wenn du auf mein Profil klickst und dann in den Unterhaltungen weit nach unten scrollst, kommt der Darstellungsfehler. Einzelne Beiträge selbst wie in deinem Screenshot werden schon normal angezeigt.

@Thomas @vinzv
Hast du schon mal das Frio Theme gewechselt und geprüft, ob es dort auch zu den Artefakten kommt?
Deaktiviere ggf. einzelne Zusätzliche Features wie z.B. die Schlagwortwolke und prüfe erneut.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Quote toot needed as I wish to follow on from @Sheril

Space is understood by the machine.
Love is felt by the animal.

You are both the animal and the machine. You need to satisfy both.

It is that simple.

oh noes @ntnsndr ioo.coop directory is down 🙁

You already know that e.g. baserow.io/ is already on @cloudron, right?

Could the data be moved to that? 🤔

I've got spare capacity on my Cloudron server if that helps? 🙂

in reply to Nathan Schneider

@medlab @platformcoop cool, thanks! Presumably everything that was in ioo.coop is now in the @platformcoop directory? or is it just a subsection? thanks again!
in reply to Josef Davies-Coates

I'm honestly not sure. I initially found their directory too hard to work with, so I didn't keep up with its development. In retrospect, I wish we had continued maintaining IoO.


I opened up comments on @kottke this week and some threads are poppin' already, including this one where people are sharing (after some prodding) links to what they think the best music videos are. kottke.org/23/10/the-50-greate…


@Girl Of The Sea This song has a beautiful sense of poignancy. The singer doesn't have to sound polished for this to go right to the heart. I used to give this link to my singers for the musicals I would write. It would help them feel more self-confident and encourage them to focus on their acting as part of their singing.

Ooh, I'm super excited about two new articles that I just encountered:

"Divesting from Big Tech: Alternative Possibilities for Research and Futuring in Social Computing" by @cyberlyra @natematias dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/358…

"Mastodon Rules: Characterizing Formal Rules on Popular
Mastodon Instances" by Matthew N. Nicholson @bkeegan @cfiesler dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3584931…

in reply to Nathan Schneider

@Nathan Schneider I'd love to have a look at the second document, but ACM is very unfriendly towards well-secured desktop browsers. I ended up IP-blocked due to what was perceived as non-standard behaviour which probably means that I haven't just loaded the page and then the document exactly once.

That said, I guess the author of that document steps right into the same trap as everyone else who does something related to the #Fediverse without being an avid, well-informed user of many months, namely assume that the Fediverse is only #Mastodon. Granted, the document is about, quote, "Popular Mastodon Instances", but it might also mention interaction with the rest of the Fediverse and do as if this whole rest of the Fediverse is only Mastodon. This is more than just a technicality: Some aspects about Mastodon rules do not translate to all Fediverse projects, others do not translate to anything that is not Mastodon.

in reply to Jupiter Rowland

@jupiter_rowland Oh that is weird. I know the feeling, I get into trouble all the time for my basic security practices.

I know these authors are very well-informed (for instance, one is actively advocating a fediverse strategy on our campus). My reading is just that they are focusing on one platform for the sake of simplicity. They write, "Mastodon instances constitute part of the broader Fediverse," which I don't think claims that Mastodon constitutes the entire fediverse at all.

you were right -- i made a few adjustments. updated version at same link

I do appreciate at least that the enemies include the Silicon Valley fabulism and self-congratulation of "existential risk."


As a general rule, when rich people with a vested interest in extracting more wealth from society while actively doing harm decide to write a “manifesto”, it’s probably not a good thing. a16z.com/the-techno-optimist-m…
in reply to Ashe Dryden

Ah just came across this simplification of the manifesto which made me chuckle with some concern

mastodon.social/@bengrosser/11…

also tagging @leonelcock3 cause they shared the manifesto over a signal chat we're on
