Is it politicians using AI, though?

"or even the transoceanic fiber links that all make landfall and interchange in the US"
Most, but not all. Portugal is also quite a hub of that (geography rules) and we've got cables that go straight down to Brazil and also around Africa onto Asia or into the Mediterranean.

It's not as if scrolling up or down for a while was such a huge load of work. Some finger swapping or mouse wheel action and it's done... 🤷‍♂️

The main problem of a word to describe what we're for is that it would be immediately distorted and destroyed by fascist propagandists.
Take social justice for a prime example. What's wrong with that as a concept? Who wouldn't want a bit of justice in society?
And yet, look at what they did to it. For many people, SJW is a slur. And it is intended as such by fascist propagandists.

I'm asking because she's in Portugal right now and I don't really know how relevant that is, i.e., what kind of powers, if any, she has in terms of foreign policy.
From what I heard of her powers, it seems more like a courtesy visit than anything else, but, again, I may well be wrong.

2025-04-08 13:48:45 UTC

What's the real role of the President of #India, anyone knows?
I think it's mostly ceremonial, and the real power lies with the prime-minister (Modi), so that foreign visits by the President aren't all that relevant, but I may well be wrong.

Is it usually slow? Does it go through delays in post delivery? Does it have other problems? Or is it smooth and effective?

Indeed. But I very rarely do that (unless it's an article, or similar stuff). The tablet is much handier for reading, I feel like. There are pretty good ebook-reading apps out there.

Massive delays in delivering stuff to friendica (much reduced now, after reaching more than a day, but still there), now stuff I posted more than a day ago in my @npub1kgw…hpkr account isn't going anywhere, apparently (do let me know if you're following that account and received anything from there in the last 24h or so, please).

There's nothing "between the lines" in what I wrote:
"I just don't see anyone in MY circle using forums anymore. All of those I HANG AROUND IN back in the day died pretty much as social media took off."
Verbatim quotes, caps added now for clarity.
It's very much all in the lines. All over the lines.

2025-01-20 22:27:44 UTC

- reply

no, I never claimed no such thing. I said they killed all the forums *I* used to hang around. It's a massively different statement.
And this is why I'm not interested in continuing to talk with you. Next time try to reply to what's actually being said.
Ciao.

dude, that attitude is totally uncalled for, you know?
You know full well they're WAY less relevant than they were in their hayday, you're just arguing for the sake of it. I got much better things to do with my time than arguing with you on this.
Again, I HOPE your're right and this is really a major plus to the fediverse. I'm skeptical, but we'll see, won't we? The future will tell, so arguing about this is just daft.

I'm talking about independent forums. Facebook groups is precisely what killed them (reddit not so much, among the people I know). That and orkut.
As far as I know, those use their own software.

That's pretty cool, sure, but... from what I've been seing the number of people still using these systems is quite limited these days. Most of that stuff migrated to facebook and/or whatsapp long ago.
Maybe federation might revive them (and allow people to build facebook groups' replacements), but still...

Há um vale bastante largo entre a capacidade de personalização que vem de se correr o seu próprio servidor e a capacidade técnica (e vontade) que o comum dos mortais tem para mergulhar nesses detalhes de infraestrutura.

You probably know it already, but @npub1kxu…9fca has been doing thematic "follow packs" on various topics. A bit like the followfridays in the old sinking shipm only more organized (and mirroring something that's being done on bluesky). I suppose they'll be putting them online somewhere later on?...

I keep hearing of that friendica's bridge, but I'm on friendica (other account) and I can't find anyone in bluesky from there.
The only bridge I've seen working so far is brid.gy. That one works fine. Friendica's is a mystery to me. A bit like Santa. I hear about it. Never seen it.

If you read anything today, read this from @npub1fdr…lvhs - "You Should be Using an RSS Reader".
Cause you really should. Really.
Speaking of which, anyone knows of a tool somewhere that can analyze sites that don't have RSS feeds in search for changes and puts those changes on a RSS feed of its own?
'Cause that'd be really useful, you know?

Quite honestly, I'm sick and tired of such "studies".
They NEVER try to estimate what portion of the pirated stuff would otherwise be actual purchases; they simply convert the pirated stuff to "sales lost" as if everyone who pirates would buy if only pirating wasn't an option. In a word, it's bullshit. And one doesn't have to be in favour of piracy to know it's bullshit.
And it's the same bullshit everywhere. In games, in books, in movies, in music. Everywhere.

Mas o meu argumento é precisamente esse. Não é a rede em si que importa, é a atitude com que se está nela.
E também duvido que tenha sido o ambiente criado no orkut a criar a forma de estar. Acho que é ao contrário: foi a forma de estar a criar o ambiente.

As funcionalidades eram muito semelhantes. As redes sociais dessa época eram assim uma mistura de uns fóruns mais estruturados e com umas campainhas a mais com páginas pessoais à geocities. Umas pendiam mais para um lado, outras para o outro (o myspace pendia mais para a página pessoal), mas tanto quanto me lembro a funcionalidade básica dessas duas era praticamente igual e podiam ser usadas da mesma forma.
Pena a wayback machine não conseguir arquivar este tipo de coisa.

não duvido, mas como digo não me parece que isso tenha a ver com a rede em si. É mais uma questão de atitude perante a rede.

Os brasileiros mal chegam e desatam a criar contas razoavelmente parassociais, como o @npub1r40…tr5h
Já os portugueses, muitas vezes parece que preferem que a rede seja uma rede antissocial em vez duma rede social.
