There is amazingly little detail - still - on how the labeling services, the core piece of safety technology on the protocol, work. Its one paragraph here. That speaks volumes.

@maswan Ingen aning. Så här ser det ut i web-UI:t om jag försöker kolla på profilen

@maswan Right, det här är inte det flyttade kontot?

Eller är det @maswan som är vidareskickat?

@maswan Så vad händer om jag skriver här?

@maswan Just, och enda sättet att göra nya länkar är att också notifiera den andra servern?

@maswan Jag följer dig, men du verkar inte följa mig?

@maswan Vad jag ser så är alla poster en dag gamla och saknar diverse länkar till exvis vad de svarar på?

Replacing humans with AI in situations where you are otherwise treating that human as a tool, a thing, a means to an end, is probably fine, but we should aim for a society where as many interactions as possible are meaningful, relational, and building on a shared humanity.

I shouldn't be treating people as servants and slaves and helpers, I should be treating them as people, as collaborators, as students and learners and fellow citizens.

just putting this here as a cool part of history. it has no bearing in the future, at all. there are no lessons here 🧵 13/?

Pirate all the things. Build your own archives, with or without organisation, structure, and proper metadata, and share them widely with others. Libraries and archivists may or may not be able to keep the stuff you're interested in, but in the digital age we can all help to copy and share the information and meta-information that makes up our collective culture. #datalove

@dannyjpalmer I don't see why a properly engineered IT system from the 80s would be less secure or reliable than something built on NodeJS or whatever.

Hell yeah, managed to get in and order a kufiya from Hirbawi. I lost the one I'm wearing in my profile picture, so I had to get another one. Next time I get in it'll probably be either a classic black-and-white, or a communist red-and-white. Could go for a red/green/black/white as well, depending.

The fossil fuel industry should be dismantled immediately.

@tante @parismarx another nitpick about democratising software etc. 'Who understands what a GitHub issue is?' Sure, but who understands the process by which laws are made? Who can write a motion to their local or national government and not have it be thrown out? It is a tricky balance and I'm not saying that the current way is perfect, but at some level, meaningful and useful feedback requires a common language about the thing, and that's not something that just arises or you learn from no work

@Anders_S I övrigt så skulle jag säga att deras RSS-feed är guldstandard för användbara länkar till podcasts fortfarande. @guldfiske @samuel

@Anders_S Radio Åt Alla är ju bara att länka så täcker man in ganska många: https://radio.alltatalla.se/

@rgarner It doesn't really matter where they host since they are an US organisation, and the US government claims jurisdiction of servers and data of US organisations no matter where they operate.

And yes, this is legislation that directly clashes with EU data protection laws, with the current status being that this contradiction is mostly just ignored by everyone involved. @Floppy

@Floppy For many regular social groups it's going to be the best compromise between security, privacy, ease of use, and widespread availability.

@Floppy Signal is a US organisation with servers in the US, operating under US jurisdiction. They themselves claim to save a _lot_ less stuff than most alternative services though, and in most cases they are not going to be the place where subversion hits, but rather Google/Apple (depending on if your phone runs iOS/Android).
