@cwebber I'm not so well-versed in data science, so this is perhaps above my skill level. I understand that the protocol bluesky runs on copies everything that is written through it and then makes that available for others to copy too. Is that more or less what it means?
@dansup I hope you can use the negativity in the best way possible, as feedback, and that it won't wear you down. Be careful about using others hate as your fuel for your own power. It's a well-known heroic story, but tends to sneak into the receiver and make them full of contempt. What are people saying about projects? I like pixel fed, it's great.
@thanius Any recommendations for how to run Linux on a Fairphone 3+? I'm not very technically capable, but have installed Linux on my own laptop many times. If it is just nearly as easy, and the most necessary apps are there, I would probably switch.
What's your preferred way of discovering new accounts or hashtags to follow in the #fediverse? I struggle a bit with this for two reasons. I'm looking at an interesting account and am curious who they're following. I can't see that from my own server. I have to click into their server, look through those accounts and then copy/paste their handle into (in a different window) my search bar back at my own server. Are there any other ways with less friction? #discoverability
@rasmusfleischer@laxsill Med vilket föremål? Är det den lilla länken till tantra yoga i botten av sidan? Ibland fattar jag inte helt hur SEO-magin fungerar
@rasmusfleischer En relaterad begrepp är avantgarde. Det är något avantgardistisk i progressiv per definition, om man uppfattar sig som del av en rörelse som har framtiden på sin sida.
@th@djsumdog How is it possible for the train to not only keep up momentum, but actually accelerate slightly? You see the speedometer going from 116 to eventually 121 minutes later with no engine power.
Till kamrater i Sverige: Har ni tänkt på att kopiera succeen från FJMP (Free Jazz Mod Paludan)? En saxofonist som började spela free jazz under Paludans nonsensprat fick plötsligt en hel armé av instrumentalister till att följa honom runt i hela landet. En av de mest succesfulla aktioner i Danmark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzSlWkeYs9I#Paludan#direktaktion#koranavbränding
@rasmusfleischer It's the founding gesture of economic "science", you could say. If you want to turn the complexity of the human world into a great calculation, you need a universal equivalent to flatten everything with. Utilitarianism / economics = value as proportions (value as in "how much"). That's how they lose the moral dimension of values (values as moral importance, like beauty, integrity, compassion, strength, care or whatever your culture values).
@rasmusfleischer Or with your example, how to measure the value of a threatened species that do very little "ecosystem services"? Many of the vulnerable insects in our region honestly do not really have any "utility". People always mention pollination, but the evidence doesn't hold up for many of them and it all seems forced. It's because the only value modern humans can imagine is utility. It's almost as if the butterfly didn't "work" for us, it doesn't have a reason to exist.
@rasmusfleischer In the economic paradigm, we cannot appreciate or "give importance" to a butterfly that for us is simply fascinating or a source of wonder, unless those experiences are translated (flattened) into a universal equivalent, ie. make beauty or wonder "valuable", instead of treating them as their own kind of values. And it's an echo of how we don't allow people to just exist as they are, without having to contribute or be useful.
@rasmusfleischer Isn't this the founding principle of utility promoted by Bentham, Stuart Mill and the likes? I don't know of a thought experiment, I just thought this is how they thought in general, that all values can be reduced to "utility".
