@whitequark Yes.

@dansup Oh really?

What's your safe word? You really should make sure that's known if you're just putting your submission out there like this...for distribution.

@zleap @cmthiede @gimulnautti @davetroy @aral Right idea anyway. I don't know if following wed3 with blockchain is the way to go, but I never really studied that. Something. There's a lot of ideas floating around actually.

@zleap @cmthiede @gimulnautti @davetroy ActivityPub is designed for http/https style traffic with service servers being maintained by someone that are out on the web with a public IP. When one goes down or you want to move you have to do a re-homing (it's baked into the protocol I think).

But, if you just wanted to share stuff with friends you could do it over I2P or Tor and that has a unique address that is a key.

One part of the idea bouncing in my head. Detach from the web.

@cmthiede @gimulnautti @zleap @davetroy It's been bouncing around in my head quite a lot. I don't know that ActivityPub will do it, but it's the closest thing we have right now maybe. I envision something more integrated with your home network though, that is founded on secure, unique identity, and is "homeless" as far as needing some particular service or everyone has to re-address you. Most of the stuff we share can be shared just between our actual devices.

I'll have a read.

@zleap @gimulnautti @davetroy For now. If all of Europe and everyone else capitulate it will be a lot less possible to make a move like Brazil did.

@_elena Probably. A lot of them are their neighbors and they may want to look good to the people they interact with regularly. It also always pays to have people feeling they owe you.

@lzg Are the Nazis confidently misunderstanding Nietzsche again?

One of their favorite things to do. Second only to Darwin.

@jwz See...now that's why I won't use Copilot. To think that other people are using an AI trained on the crap I put on my github and threw down on Stackoverflow--I'm not sure weather to laugh or be like sad for them or something.

I mean...I don't want this shit in my production code: https://github.com/crazy-eddie/arduino_modern/blob/capacities/include/hardware/chip/atmega328p.hpp

It's cute. It was fun. It actually works and is a massive perf improvement to arduino scetches...but don't do this, please.

I shudder to think what effect that has on its biases.

@molly0xfff You're a software engineer. Have you considered ways you could help people move into some sort of self/cloud hosting?

Maybe authors could join pools that people buy into and can read a certain number of articles. Maybe you have teams of editors that compile articles for people to read (like the algorithms do today sort of) and they could buy into that and they could buy from the authors.

Cloud costs scale. Traffic can be distributed. Hosting is just technically heavy.

@brainsmoke @gsuberland Because if it's not a goal it will never be a means. It it never would have been either. It was really hard work to steer the corporate world into accepting open source. It's a constant battle still, even after it's proven itself countless times.

Someone has to be out there fighting the tendency to lock it all up or it will be. Your work will be stolen and locked up in broken ass shit you can't fix. This is even a VC strategy right now that would only get way worse.

@jwz A lot of the worst stuff is handled by LLCs. Just sayin'.

@xenotar @Tutanota Officially unfollowed. DAAAAAAAMN! That cuts deep.

@dalias @felipe @zak @futurebird @ronaldtootall @hannu_ikonen They do and are though.

That's the training part. The model is trained and then used. It may or may not be training while it's used.

That training is fed a context, just like you do with experimentation. The model it tested against that context, as you do empirically. The model is then adjusted if it needs to be. This is exactly the empirical process.

@_elena "When one of your posts goes big, you are inundated with comments by strangers..."

It's way worse than that. Some of them start following you.

@Infoseepage @graue @Gargron "...and the person doing the blocking is the one person who doesn't know about it."

Isn't that the purpose of blocking?

@jwz He said he was going to do exactly this on FoX News itself. I thought they were going to use SCOTUS and Congress to do it. I really had hope there for a second it wouldn't be the people voting for it.

This is exactly what we voted for. If he doesn't do this, then his campaign promises were lies. It looks like he's every intention of doing it.

@jwz Is that logo supposed to remind one of goatse or is that just where my permanently destroyed mind goes with every circle held open by two hands?

@WarnerCrocker People's faces literally went blue trying to explain this to them. Oh well. They were fine with it hurting other people--so I don't give any f's at all.

OK, well half of one is playing the world's smallest violin...but that's it.

@randahl Not all operating systems are American. Linux, the kernel part, was originally developed by a Finn. He's now also American but back then he wasn't. Others in the kernel core group are European. It's a fairly worldwide effort really, but it has some significant European roots as well as American.

You also have complete control over it and can secure it independent of US influence and fiddling.

It's a great system too.
