Has someone written on/tried to sum up how twitter community notes works, what parts work well and which don't? It looks like a maybe unique and useful feature that's stuck in that whole mess. We could maybe learn from it.

"Community Notes works differently than the rest of the platform. It is not a popularity contest. It aims to find notes that many people from different points of view will find helpful. It takes into account not only how many ratings a note has received, but also whether people who rated it helpful seem to come from different perspectives." I feel like twitter would be nicer if every post worked like this

Wow iconic "Sakawa is a Ghanaian term for illegal practices which combine modern Internet-based fraud with African traditionalist rituals." "The rituals, which are mostly in the form of sacrifices, are intended to spiritually manipulate victims so that the scammer's fraud is successful. The term Sakawa referred to specific online scams but has since broadened to include all types of online frauds and scams mainly targeting foreigners."

Interesting article about how prosthetic arms seem to be more about protecting able-bodied people's feelings than actually helping disabled people https://www.inverse.com/input/culture/cyborg-chic-bionic-prosthetic-arm-sucks

@powersource thank you for sharing this. It really shines a light on self-image, expectations of others, and income divide.

@powersource Reminds me of this interview I recently listened to. https://art19.com/shows/factually--with-adam-conover/episodes/5d997657-4cc1-4985-86fa-2338e4c0f7d3

Can someone recommend a good alternative to tape (node.js)? A bit tired that it isn't that ergonomic, test output/diffing isn't great and pretty-printers like tap-arc can swallow exit codes. Is Jest big/clunky? Bonus points if it's easy to migrate to but that's maybe too much to expect.

@powersource are you using a recent version of node? if so, would suggest the built-in runner: https://nodejs.org/api/test.html we've been using Brittle which is pretty easy to work with but has some API differences to tape that I tend to easily forget:

How about a convention where social centers/hackerspaces try to have a kind of "library computer", basically a computer with basic features like maps and a browser and simple user accounts. Would encourage people to leave home without phones/laptops, and maybe in the long term get rid of their personal ones. Reducing IT device counts and digital addiction.

I love how my phone gps sometimes places me north of Berlin, I guess where cccamp was? Probably because of the same wifis being used?

Anyone familiar with #codeberg know why #decapcms might be having issues integrating with it? Decap is supposed to have #gitea support at least. |
