The fact that A.I. doesn't exist, but we call all the different types of machine learning "A.I." because it's more marketable, is a perfect representation of how humanity would rather worship a lie that sells, than a boring truth.

I’m so excited to have @wedistribute join us with the Nos Social Journalism Accelerator! https://wedistribute.org/2024/05/nos-journalism-accelerator/ #Journalism, #Partnerships

This is one of many experiments we can do to find a sustainable community supported model for journalism. Meta has both embraced and sabotaged journalism in such a way that we have so few outlets in comparison to a decade ago. Today we need a new model. And we’re figuring out how to make it work by building it, together, open source, open protocol.

I think a cool thing we could do on Mastodon is have profiles list various activitypub compliant accounts, the follow button could then show that list of accounts and you can pick which ones to follow (ie their photos, dev blog, personal account etc).

This could probably be implemented entirely by clients without any protocol changes needed.

fedi is really just a competition to see who can come up with the most ridiculous domain name.

Advancing Matrix 2.0 in the spec, QR Code login in Element X, and a massive VoIP update. That and much more happened this week in Matrix!

Satya Nadella's wife: did you think about what you want to do for dinner tomorrow?

Nadella: so I think of this in two key ways. The first is: what kind of experiences do we want to engender through this act of eating of a meal? What do we want it to mean? And the second is, how do we engage our partners to symbiotically produce an approach that benefits both Microsoft and our dinner? In what way can we leverage AI and the full, vertically integrated copilot stack to create this meal?

Is it just me, or has Microsoft gone completely crazy? They are implementing spyware that takes screenshots every second and forcing AI integration. Why would anyone willingly purchase this? Anyone with experience in computer or information security knows that it is a bad idea, even if it is locally done. Just don't do it. Yet, here we are, and they are doubling down on this idea. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/microsofts-new-recall-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/ #privacy #security

We need an #RSS reader with "Reply" and "Repost" buttons. These actions would occur on a blog you connect with #Micropub or #XMLRPC, and use #WebMentions to notify the originating site.

at least all these companies that are jamming ai I don’t want into devices I don’t own are giving me a hard line for the last hardware generation I should purchase (and then hold onto and repair for as long as possible)

It’s unacceptable IMO that tvOS apparently doesn’t allows apps to use persistent storage. For instance, the new RetroArch game emulator has to store all your savegames, screenshots, ROMs in the Caches directory, which the OS may purge at any time without warning. poof

“your app can only access 500 KB of persistent storage … Outside of this limited local storage, all other data must be purgeable by the OS when space is low.” https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015241-CH12-SW1 Why even sell the 128 GB Apple TV then?

I had such a great chat with @mike on his Dot Social podcast, where we talked about the future of the web and why I'm a web optimist, why everyone should be a blogger, digital ownership, and decentralized social media.

The full episode is available here https://about.flipboard.com/inside-flipboard/molly-white/ and on PeerTube/YouTube/the usual podcast feeds!

Dear Google,

When I search, I am not looking for The Answer. I am looking for sources. A search that generates only answers will be useless personally, and worse than useless professionally for me.

What I would really like is an internet search engine that works. Google did that once. Then they focused on other things and used it for ad revenue and it became the new Craigslist.

It would sure be nice if Google would reinvent an actual internet search engine.

You know what's cool about Mastodon? When someone posts a link, it's just ... the link. Like the real actual URL and not some inscrutable shortened junk that mainly exists to track you and/or throttle competing social networks
