I don’t know much about the furry subculture.
But the name of their conference, “Further Confusion”, is pure brilliance.

“I think the defining economic reality of the modern platform media world is that all the platforms realized that an infinite supply of teenage creators are cheaper to deal with than media companies or groups of media individuals or powerful creators” Great interview with @nilaypatel, very worthwhile and #fediverse and #indieweb enthusiastic. Apparently I can now "write my LinkedIn posts with AI". I'm sure they will get much better that way /s 9 years ago people collected user stories for the standards effort that led to activitypub etc. Interesting to read through them, which we got with ActivityPub and today's fediverse, and which we didn't. What is a good graphic that visualizes how #ActivityPub / the #Fediverse works? This one seems to be the most commonly used, and while it's not wrong, it looks like it was created to explain one particular aspect (inboxes and outboxes) but that seems more like a technical detail than something that has high-level explanatory value. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/w3c/activitypub/gh-pages/illustration/tutorial-2.png "For being a collection of open-source Social Media services, theoretically built on top of an open open-source protocol, we spend an incredible amount of time making sure we disable ways to communicate and allowing ourselves to be governed by not-so-open "rules"". Sometimes it certainly feels that way. h/t @m in https://thias.hellqui.st/objects/ff963121-e829-464f-95f6-b001248806ee Little-known fact: both speed and Xanax accelerate the scabbing over of syphilis sores… or so I’ve heard.  @J12t @J12t Yeah, not great, and not surprising. But also painting the other guy as “old and maybe boring” leaves out a huge omission to his own presidential catastrophes. That does make it a hard “choice” depending on what your priorities are. Today’s possibly impossible project. Un-hairball the 3D printer.  @J12t This little tool has helped me out more times than I can count, but not for a 3D printer yet. Worth a shot! A tough but very important piece by @deadsuperhero . Read this. We need to fix this. https://wedistribute.org/2024/03/contentnation-mastodons-toxicity/

And this is why despite my love for the platform as a user, and *having* both the technical ability and resources to run an instance, I still won't. At least I can choose whether this website tracks me. If I can find some divine intervention explaining this dialog to me. OH on Threads: “DINO — decentralized in name only”. Interesting concept. Whether it will apply to #Threads or not we can’t tell yet imho but I wonder whether it would make sense to come up with a list of criteria a product/service would have to meet to be DINO or not be DINO.  DINO: - claims to have engineers "working on integrating with ActivityPub" The Russians apparently managed to record a conference call of the commanding general of the German Air Force discussing delivery of Taurus missiles with his immediate staff. And published the entire recording on Telegram. Best I can tell, they tapped the hotel room of the general while he was on a trip in Singapore. Ouch. One wonder what else they are recording if they can simply publish this call. Gonna snow a little. Fortunately not where I am. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/weather/california-storm-snow-blizzard-climate/index.html There was nothing this morning. This one root is almost 1cm long now! Snow peas. #hydroponics This would be a strategically very bad move on part of Automattic. Take the money and destroy your brand. https://www.404media.co/tumblr-and-wordpress-to-sell-users-data-to-train-ai-tools/   I don't know enough about the tumblr transphobia thing but if this would be true it seems like a very bad timing for Matt. |
