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.

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.

@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…
@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.
@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.
