I was asked to ELI5 the DDG-Microsoft downtime.

"It's like I ask you to set the table, but your older brother does it for you, without telling me. Like a washing machine which sends the clothes to a bigger machine in a basement; and when the pipes get clogged, all our neighbours' clothes go unwashed. Or a calculator where you write 2+2 and it phones someone across the globe to ask the answer; when the phone breaks or they speak different languages, you get no answer from the calculator."

Honestly "ELI5" is a ridiculous demand. First of all, I have no idea what a 5 yo knows, so the request is simply ineffective. More realistically one might be able to ask ELI12, with the proviso that we're talking about a country with universal mandatory education up to some level above the 5th grade.

@phastidio Si sarà convinto seguendo le notizie degli ultimi anni che il tetto sul debito funziona molto bene negli USA! Per sicurezza converrebbe allo stesso tempo cambiare la legge elettorale per massimizzare le probabilità che Camera e Senato abbiano maggioranze diverse.

I'm at the Universtät Leipzig for the week as a visiting fellow visiting Christian Penztold's group. https://www.sozphil.uni-leipzig.de/institut-fuer-kommunikations-und-medienwissenschaft/newsdetail/artikel/neuer-besucher-im-fellowship-programm-digital-media-and-society-2024-05-08z

It's a work sprint, but I might have some time tomorrow, so LMK if you're around.

A good review of what looks like a pretty bad book.

@edsu Savage! A volume «to shore up his reputation as a leading GenAI futurist», «symptomatic of publishing in the AI age: on the surface, it has many of the formal features of a useful or engaging book but, if one looks deeper», [it doesn't].

Is there a word for "creator owned" co-ops where the ownership isn't held by employees, but isn't held by the consumer either? IE. what is social.coop? Does platform co-op cover it, or is there something more specific in wide use already?

I guess creator co-op is fine, I just don't know if it's actually in wide spread use.

@nemobis@mamot.fr avatar

@sam Why not just worker coop? You don't need to be an employee to be a worker.

nemobis,
@nemobis@mamot.fr avatar

@sam If we're still talking of the example in https://social.coop/@sam/112473770555580296 , podcasters still look like workers to me, and the fact that not all workers are members seems immaterial to me. If the main purpose of the coop is the exchange of work in the form of podcasts, and the people providing said work are members, it sounds like a worker coop to me. As long as the purchase of other services by other means including direct employment is not the majority of the turnover, the picture doesn't change.

nemobis,
@nemobis@mamot.fr avatar

@sam But yes, it might be that it's more of a service purchase coop if the main purpose is actually for those workers to pool their resources to purchase a service (the development of a website or whatever).

I just got an #Opticon L-22X #barcode scanner for next to nothing from the local flea market, it works perfectly in Linux. It was ridiculously easy to update the output format with their QRcode configuration. Now having fun reading barcodes everywhere.

Dietro la maschera di neutrale divulgatore scientifico super partes, l'#avvocato atomico è in realtà un lobbista del nucleare (senza mai dire dove metterlo in Italia). Del resto che fosse un lobbista lo aveva già messo nero su bianco nel suo curriculum, ma da un po' fa l'esperto super partes per dare il visto "scientifico" al programma politico dell'amico Zollino. Se la cantano e se la suonano, ma voi pensateci due volte prima di votare il #populismonucleare.
