Umm—uhh—hmmm. Over at Farcaster, because of the Frames feature, communities are starting to make formal decisions inside social media posts: warpcast.com/vocdoni/0xd7cbee2…

Apart from my critiques of crypto in general, this example highlights a major problem for anyone interested in doing democracy on a public, permissionless blockchain: there's no good way to verify identities to prevent sock-puppeting, as this commenter points out. If you're only interested in 1 token = 1 vote (tokenocracy) then you don't need to care about how many wallets one person is voting with, but if you're a 1 person = 1 vote type then this is a big problem, seems to me.
in reply to Josh Davis

@GuerillaOntologist Mostly, yes, identity is harder to take for granted when you can't rely on government identity systems or personal relationships. Though there are "sybil resistance" tools that can enable various forms of identity verification for on-chain purposes: passport.xyz/

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

It's really disappointing how easily Nintendo can bully these groups into submission. Maybe not surprising in this specific instance, but I'm hoping this doesn't scare off people in the future.


If I don't agree, I cannot use the TV that was ALREADY PURCHASED UNDER A DIFFERENT AGREEMENT!

And I just read some of it. I don't agree.
I want my money back. The TV we bought did not have this forced agreement.

That's it! I'm fucking done. My next "TV" is just going to be a monitor. I don't want anymore smarts in what's just being used as a display

With everything that's happening to Yuzu, it's as good a time as any to remind you that it's not the only Switch emulator Ryujinx also exists. Let's hope Nintendo doesn't try and go after them as well ryujinx.org/
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Clean room emulation is legal. Yuzu were charging tens of thousands a month in Patreon knowing it was used for piracy. They had a private discord where they distributed pirated roms, patched leaked prerelease games to work on emulation. Its why this was settled so fast. Nintendo is litigious, but Yuzu weren’t some innocent group squashed by a corporation.

“This diet is fundamentally at odds with everything we know about long-term health”

Been noticing a worrying amount of keto post in my feed lately. please keep in mind that the keto diet consistently ranks as among the worst, if not the absolute worst diet overall for long-term health, not to mention its devastating environmental impact.

Best stick to the science on this one.

The key question about Trump and January 6 - one most pundits celebrating the Court’s decision are arrogantly dismissing - concerns the demands and limits of democratic self-defense in the face of extremism.

Re-posting this, in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling:

in reply to Thomas Zimmer

Since January 6, and especially since the January 6 Committee referred Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, the discussion has disproportionally focused on the risk of doing something - and tended to neglect the considerable dangers of doing nothing. 5/
in reply to Thomas Zimmer

“Fascism must be defeated at the ballot box” - I see little value in presenting such platitudes as some kind of deep political or historical wisdom. If the threat is real and imminent, must we not mobilize *all* the resources our democratic system of government has at its disposal? 6/

Exactly the same content, posted on the same time, to similar crowd, gets 10x more engagement here than on Twitter, even tho I have 10x less followers here.

Why are people still using Twitter for promotion? And some are paying money thinking they're getting a good deal.

#twitter #mastodon #socialmedia #seo #visibility #posting #content #followers #viral

in reply to Sos Sosowski

because it's still the big established thing, where most people are - as sad as that is

part of the reason for the lower engagement is probably the for you feed, whereas mastodon is just a plain feed

these are bad news, very bad news, the fact that Nintendo won the case, it means that no one is safe

lmao imagine your case being so bad that you decide to settle with Nintendo over *emulation*. How bad did you have to shit the bed to lose a case that uncountable others have *won*?

Couldn't find it under that name... apparently the feed title is "The Business of Open Source"

#podcast




Here's a question for #academia: why shouldn't I count my contributions to major open-source projects which are scientifically relevant (e.g. Linux [1], OpenCV [2]) just like publications?

- They have a unique identifier.
- They are most certainly peer-reviewed (if you don't believe me, try to submit a Linux patch sometime)
- They are archived long-term.
- They are publicly available.

So... where's the difference?

[1] github.com/torvalds/linux/blob…
[2] github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/…

in reply to Florian 'floe' Echtler

I see no reason why you could not, though perhaps under a different subsection heading similar to what is recommended for reviews vs original research.
