My favorite projections of a 360° capture of the #eclipse2024 moon shadow running over us at lake Erie's south shore. 40x speed up.

Polar-like projection of 360 movie of solar eclipse 2024 moon shadow running over people at the south beach of lake Erie. Facing up.

Under-the-radar late night launch: RSS Parrot is live! It talks like Mastodon, but it doesn't walk like Mastodon. BUT! It will relay any RSS feed straight into your timeline.

Turn Mastodon into your very own feed reader. Follow anything that has an RSS feed and get a toot about new posts.

How? Mention @birb with the address you want to follow.

More details at https://rss-parrot.net. Boost for visibility :)

#RSS #Atom #FeedReader #Fediverse

@twilliability @birb Fun protocol demonstration. Has anybody built loops yet or do you white list? As an application, it feels backwards to me, because it centralizes feed aggregation that can easily be done on the client, where I believe it belongs. I.e. I am reading a bunch of feeds including Mastodon with 's RSS integration.

This season of family gatherings is a great moment to persuade your relatives to install the Signal App @signalapp in their phones as a way to get your photos of the events. Then setup a family group chat with them all so that there's a reason to start and then continue using it.

That's one path to wean them off whatsapp and even worse messenger apps. At the very least your own communications within the family will happen outside those privacy nightmarish ever-hungry gargantuan for-profit corporations.

@albertcardona @signalapp 👍Done 2019. My strategy was to refuse to use anything else. Could cost you a couple of ignorant friends... Feels harder for the iPhone crowd where the belief in their blessings may run deeper than elsewhere?

If you’re an author who relies on audiobook sales for part of your income, Big Tech has found yet another way to rob you. (If you’re a reader, I hope you see the need for authors to make a living.)

@JamesGleick Some good points about monopolies bad impact on society, but "Remember What Spotify Did to the Music Industry?" leaves me cold with a tendency in favor of the offender, just as "Remember what Tesla did to the Petrocar industry?", "Remember what Google did to Yahoo?", "Remember what GitHub did to Sourceforge?", "Remember what Apple did to Microsoft?"

I think in the future if I am ever writing a code paper I am just going to take the list of contributors and copy paste that into the authors list with links to a git blame (with consent). If we're going to have a credit assignment system as broken as authorship, we can at least err on the "include everyone" side of the brokenness - I want the person who submits a PR to fix a typo in the docs to get credit for helping. People being incentivized to make lots of little contributions is good, actually.

It should be the same way with regular papers too - put your lab techs and undergrads on the paper! Put on the grad student/postdoc who isnt explicitly assigned to this project but ends up helping out anyway. Its literally free! Authorship inflation is a made up problem thats not even a problem!

@jonny 100% to the general sentiment, but like every lazy system, this incentivizes unwanted behavior, i.e. to maximize coauthorship through mundane contributions that perfectly follow protocol.

Powerful joint statement on the use of AI from the FTC and other federal agencies.: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/EEOC-CRT-FTC-CFPB-AI-Joint-Statement%28final%29.pdf

tl;dr — `It wasn't me, it was the AI' is not a defense against illegal discrimination or other forms of harm.

@ct_bergstrom @emilymbender I find this important: "[...] the FTC has required firms to destroy algorithms or other work product that were trained on data that should not have been collected."
