 I think one of the hard things about fedi, culturally, is that a whole lot (most??) of us are here because we are refusers of norms. And which norms and which levels of refusal differ. So even if you’re at the 80th to 99th percentile of resistance to corporate social media OR mainstream party politics OR mainstream journalism OR cars OR the normalization of repeat covid infections, there will always be people popping up to tell you that by not being completely pure, you’re killing everyone. Just what exactly is the relationship between #telegram and the government of #russia these days? This is rather confusing… https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/27/tech/pavel-durov-telegram-kremlin-intl/index.html It's been pointed out to me ever-so-politely :-) that if I don't know Lisp, I really need to learn about it. Recommendations how?  @j12t The classic book (now VERY old) was "The Little Lisper" but a quick search on Youtube brought up a LOTS of stuff. I'll warn you, It's takes a while to get your head wrapped around Lisp. It's cool, just.... different  If you can export/import the conversations you've had with an "AI", does this count as "Personal #AI portability"? The final #XoXo was a great experience. Sad to see it go. (There is a great opportunity for somebody to pick up the torch!! I would come.) Most surprising, and gratifying for myself: about half of the people I mentioned it to had heard of #FediForum. The word must be spreading!! To state the blindingly obvious here, the new Social Media Lab at Harvard's Berkman Klein center really needs to have "follow" options other than Twitter and Instagram.  @j12t Very few people *really* understand CSS... I love it, but it can be a lot, especially for high end use cases. The ramp from obvious to wtf is incredibly short. Glad I brought my sweater. And there are sometimes some wet drops that fall out of the sky. Clearly Portland is not California. #xoxo Marveling, as so often, how it is that while #covid numbers are as high as they are, maybe just 2 out of every 100 people at the airport and on the plane wear a mask. In the grand scheme of things, just how much bother is a mask, in comparison? XOXO, here I come. Looking forward to meeting like-minded people. Reach out and say Hi 🙂 One of the best features of the Apple ecosystem is cross-device copy-paste. I don't know what exactly triggers it, but it works more often than not, and it soooo beats doing an brief ssh connection (which, with a firewall, takes a bit of work to set up) or, heavens forbid, a USB stick. P.S. Is there something similar in open-source land? (Not a trivial project) Missile statistics from #ukraine https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/08/20/7471189/ |

@kissane For me, it's not so much a refuser of norms, rather, I seek out online environments that are more given to kindness and friendship and respectful exchange of ideas.
