Whether you agree with @niccolove positions in the video but hate that he's giving a spotlight to Lunduke or you disagree with his positions, he doesn't deserve any harrassment for making it. It's important to be able to have these sorts of discussions regardless of you're personal position.

in reply to Brodie Robertson

he's going to get grief for even mentioning him because everything is a bloody cult these days, speaking the forbidden name is a sin and penance must be paid. Even in a video critical of said person.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Lunduke is wrong in 50% cases like almost all of us. It's nothing special here - just different sides of view.

New, by @Sarahp: A fake app that was masquerading as password manager LastPass on the App Store has been removed, whether by Apple or the fake app’s developer is yet unclear — Apple has not commented.

"That such an obviously fake app got through Apple’s App Review process is a bad look for the tech giant, which has been arguing against new regulations, like the EU’s Digital Markets Act, by claiming these laws would compromise customer safety and privacy."

Great summary by @molly0xfff about why you don't need to read a book by an investor whose company helped ruin the internet about how his investments will save the internet.

in reply to Anthony

@adx I see your points. I've come to the view that things like private equity and venture capital are often bad, but not always purely bad. Brendan Ballou's book Plunder shows how PE does have some success stories, like keeping Barnes and Noble as a going concern. If VC provides some projects enough resources to take on Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Hollywood IP, big telecomm, and replace them with things more open and decentralized, I'm interested to see how it goes.
in reply to Matt Panhans

@mpanhans I agree. No one model is itself evil. The problem is the over-reliance on VC as the sole path.

And also the reminder that this whole thing has happened before. Long before Bluesky, early Twitter was exploring federation at the very start. The VCs shut it down because they wanted capture. Now the (same) VCs want protocols because they offer a bigger surface to capture than platforms.

The harms of VC could be much mitigated if there were another other options in town.

In 1896, scientists determined that industrialization was adding CO2 to the atmosphere and quantified how much it would warm the Earth. That date is closer to the start of the Industrial Revolution than to the present day. kottke.org/24/02/our-missed-he…

in reply to schuelermine; probably → 39C3

@anselmschueler The images were taken using a Polarizer over the light source to produce Plane Polarized Light which enters the sample thin section. Then above the sample is the Analyzer which can be rotated. "Cross" Polarized Light is achieved by rotating the Analyzer to 90 degrees (the white background changes to black).

in reply to The Colorado Sun ☀️

this is huge news for the co-op community nationally. Time to demand a new deal for rural electrics that is fit for the age of distributed, green generation.


@Gargron

This is new. Is it built into a recent Mastodon upgrade? What triggers it, or with what frequency does it automatically appear? How are the users chosen to appear in the list?

It's a good addition, whatever the answers to those questions.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

I've never seen any suggested follows in my home timeline until a day or so ago.

Anecdotally, the "no algorithms" thing was something people have been prone to say in favor of the platform. I.e. that no posts or people would get promoted by the platform.

@jamesbritt They used to be buried on the explore page under the people tab (before that, under "for you" tab), and the home feed would instead have a banner at the top saying "This is your home base in Mastodon" with a link to trending posts and follow recommendations, if your feed was determined to be updating too slow.
