Never used the Raspberry Pi Desktop imager before. That's actually done quite nicely.

Hey #Fediverse #developers , we are developing testing tools for the Fediverse, and are planning to run a session on FediTest at the #FediForum online conference on September 12, 13 or 14. If you are interested in interop testing your Fediverse application, join us for this session? What would you like us to talk about? Or what subjects would you like to raise? Let us know! Also, which day (Thursday, Friday or Saturday) would be best for you? For some reason I'm thinking X11 Windowing systems were more flexible and usable 30 years ago that what's running on Linux these days. Am I wrong? Merely name, address and SSN of everybody. https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/13/massive-data-leak-national-public-data/  @j12t Every SSN leak is one step towards the only solution: a recognition that SSN is public data and should have no authentication value. (e.g. this blog from 2007: https://stage.vambenepe.com/archives/107)  @j12t I love the "everyone's data is gone but be sure not to click on strange links". @j12t back in the early days of social media, when there were frequent articles about some random person being fired or their job application rejected because the employer found pictures online of them being unruly at a party or engaging in similarly ordinary behavior, I thought we might lose some privacy in that, but that it might also force us to recognize some very common behaviors as common, ordinary, and not worthy of anything resembling punishment. Check it out! @Flipboard has officially announced a new milestone in their embrace of the #Fediverse - now, any Flipboard user can follow a Fediverse account in their feed. We're one step closer to greater publishing and curation across the network!
https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/flipboard-fediverse-following/  @j12t Microsoft Start has an indie publisher syndication program - I syndicate my long-form posts and link blog there. Got a letter in the mail to my house in Sunnyvale, California, from somebody in Chicago writing to somebody in New York. Same last name as me. First and middle name very different. Rest of the address very different. Zip code on the other side of the country. How in the world did somebody in Sunnyvale, California, get mistaken for somebody completely different in New York??? For lack of a better explanation, I blame "#AI". So @76c71aae3a491f1d9eec47cba17e229cda4113a0bbb6e6ae1776d7643e29cafa your phrase about the revolution(s), is that something that is publicly quotable? @j12t Actually, what I say about Trump is what nobody else is saying: that he's a genius at knowing how stories actually work, and at generating them constantly. But I should add that his opponents now understand his weakness at the same game, but that's beside the original point. If you think social media is necessarily terrible, you need to really read this piece by @wearenew_public : https://newpublic.substack.com/p/the-vermont-miracle-how-one-local Notes from @eloquence 's #Fediverse session at #dWebCamp https://dweb.camp/s/fediverse in case anybody is interested. Who in the #fediverse is good at speaking on conference panels? I'd like to make friends with you :-) @eloquence is running a session on the #Fediverse at #dwebcamp today at 11:30. I'm going to support him. Join us? Organizers are saying there are 550 adults registered for #DWebCamp that's live right now. Plus a bunch of kids and teens. And probably more laptops than these redwood forests ever see otherwise. Traveling to DWebCamp in the morning. I’m running two sessions, on: 1) imagining success: what if one day we actually got the kind of social network we want and most of the world uses it? This should be a ton of fun. And it’s inside a place called “Redwood Cathedral”! 2) How can we make these kinds of large scale, complex distributed systems actually function, and reliably so? This is technical, about FediTest and the broader picture. Also planning to have some fun :-) See you there? I note a broad lack of imagination for how social interactions online should actually look like. Most of what we can think of is "I post something, you comment / like / boost it". Which maps to -- what -- 1% of off-line social activity? What's the online social equivalent of the other 99%? @j12t Look to what the kids are doing: TikTok and SnapChat have an expanded range of interaction. In addition to the Like/Share/Repost, you have the Duet and Stitch functions, which allow for a lot of interaction between the users. These are the "yes and" of improv, and can be a lot of fun. Separating the audio track from the video and allowing the users to remix that and/or the video helps too. I'm sure there's more; I only use a fraction of what's there. #TikTok #SnapChat |
