> and no node can block user visibility for much of the network
yeah, this is how abuse get amplified: when "anti-cenorship" logics (aka maximum reach) is placed over the actual safety of folks - which includes things like blocking.
The journalist in question in that article would be the type I would block. Also bridging works when you keep it under 200 characters. And Mastodon *literally* has had the big node problem since before ATProto came on the scene.

one upside to GLM is that I was able to replicate ~50 of Ansible logic for installing Docker so I don't have to use it from the guy who's very anti-abortion and has mad prolific Ansible packages.

You could find evidence of forced labor in every part of tech and advocates will find a way to mark it as a necessary fact of development especially if it comes at the cost of Asia, India or Africa

2025-04-25 16:57:48 UTC

A little disappointed in the folks who've become effectively red-AI-pilled and unable to take any flexibility in their perspectives.
I've personally softened to understand that it's *generative* AI that's a bulk of the issue and have no beef with machine learning as a concept (I've worked on that for half of my career: although some of it led to my 'radicalization' when I saw how it was used to underpay Lyft drivers). But the way folks allow the wealthy and influential just *dictate* their views is ... characteristic of being trained by a model of opinion, tbh.

The fact that vibe coding is really a "thing" but the industry still fails junior developers on a chronic basis is telling of where we're willing to invest resources at.

It's frustrating to see otherwise clever people decide to dance in favor of it: most likely (I'm hoping) because capital demands it and not because their alleged ideological stances were paper thin and matched only what was relevant at the time.
Since companies are becoming more accepting of this new digital approach, I'm very interested in seeing those who are choosing to *not* do this, not kissing the rings of Big Tech's attempt to recoup computing loss from both crypto and other wasteful advents, and focusing on delivering something of value to folks.

2025-03-13 02:05:22 UTC

Nah ChatGPT is a brain flattener. If you take it as is, as most people will (we've conditioned people to ignore terms and conditions, why the fuck do tech people think that the phrase "experimental" means anything if you put it everywhere??), it and other AI chat tools will defend white supremacy to the T.
Grok is an extremely poignant example of this because it's incapable of understanding discrimination and Gemini operates just like Google Photos: it'll come right up to the nose and ignore research around misogynior (in hopes of keeping the more "conservative" userbase and alienating those who feel forced to stay with Google).
The more folks keep digging their wheels in advocacy of LLM tech, the more they need to own that this shit is a collective cognitive failure.

2025-03-13 01:43:47 UTC

TIL that Friendster didn't like parody pages but had little issues with white supremacists running amok. Is there some private handbook to making social networks that says "depriotitize user safety as much as possible and make it a incognito dating site"?

At this point, let Mozilla fall. It sounds fucked but they're sucking up the little amount of air and space that an actual NGO/non-profit/employee-owned organization with that kind of funding could do.
They (a new org) could push back *harder* against the bullshit that Google and Microsoft want at the IETF and work with the EFF/ACLU to draft legislation around citizen-centric computing.

But that clip is not reality. It is a haphazard blend of imagery both real and imagined by Hollywood, along with the industry’s and archives’ historical biases. Sora, like other generative AI programs such as Runway and Luma Dream Machine, scrapes content from the internet and other digital material. As a result, these platforms are simply recycling the limitations of online media, and no doubt amplifying the biases. Yet watching it, we understand how an audience might be fooled. Cinema is powerful that way.
High-key want generative AI banned at this point but that's like banning guns and alcohol: two things now affixed to the idea of ... at this point? masculinity ... so it won't go until we do a lot more

It sounds like it's nigh time for folks to start taking crowbars to that SpaceGrey walled garden. More Apple app developers need to invest on "escape hatches" and not dig their heels in more.
Depends on what folks are looking for: Apple to "revert course" or an actual chance to break out.

I need to read more things not in English. Spanish is my best bet but I really want more books in Kreyol. But colonialism in #Haiti has kept French the premiere language of writing and thus everything is mainly in French (and a contributor to low literacy rates - having to learn another language on top of your mother tongue AND balance classes two miles away with little public transit isn't sustainable).
The only option I can think of is writing more in #Kreyol (I have some blog posts translated by hand but barely) but it'd go beyond that. Like children's books (which also help adults learn to read), teenage books and young adult material is needed. And I need to do more research now.

$7/mo for a newsletter is mad expensive. I don't feel comfortable charging more than $2/mo. But this is in part of other services that are down to about $8/mo that provide a stream of content and also the fact that the CoL has not stopped climbing.
It also depends on the newsletter.

bell hooks summarizes something has wrecked my brain with current media (and was probably the precursor to her calling out Beyonce, tbh).
This also ties back to that podcast about consumerism that @npub10jk…dpae did, that it made the state of identity politics for Black people devolve from actual change into what you could buy to signal your alliance but without actually doing anything.
