All right, fine, why don't we start an alliance?
Vegans start dual-booting Linux and I stop eating so much meat?

  Why RISC-V Matters
  
  RISC-V is a free and open microprocessor instruction set architecture (ISA). But is that why it matters? Here’s my take. Some of my other RISC-V videos include: RISC-V 2024 Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6mPK3QCrBo HiFive Premier P550: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KTbi8dJjzQ Milk-V Jupiter RISC-V PC Build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX9Pz1TmEww RISC-V NAS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpOy9ydKmPs All of my RISC-V videos are listed on this page: https://explainingcomputers.com/riscv_videos.html More videos on computing and related topics can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/@ExplainingComputers And more videos on film and other making, plus retro tech, are on my Christopher Barnatt channel here: http://www.youtube.com/@ChristopherBarnatt Chapters: 00:00 Titles & Intro 02:41 RISC & CISC 04:51 Compatibility & Competition 09:30 Global Implications 11:20 Everybody Wins #RISCV #RISC-V #RISC #CISC #competition #market #trade #ExplainingComputers

@paul if only there was an open source, decentralised link-sharing platform. Something that is to Reddit what Mastodon is to Twitter.

  Tay (bot)
  
  Tay was an artificial intelligence chatbot that was originally released by Microsoft Corporation via Twitter on March 23, 2016; it caused subsequent controversy when the bot began to post inflammatory and offensive tweets through its Twitter account, causing Microsoft to shut down the service only 16 hours after its launch. According to Microsoft, this was caused by trolls who "attacked" the service as the bot made replies based on its interactions with people on Twitter. It was replaced with Zo. Background The bot was created by Microsoft's Technology and Research and Bing divisions, and named "Tay" as an acronym for "thinking about you". Although Microsoft initially released few details about the bot, sources mentioned that it was similar to or based on Xiaoice, a similar Microsoft project in China. Ars Technica reported that, since late 2014 Xiaoice had had "more than 40 million conversations apparently without major incident". Tay was designed to mimic the language patterns of a 19-year-old American girl, and to learn from interacting with human users of Twitter. Initial release...

Any ideas how to encourage newcomers to help improve #mastodon or anything related to it?
If nobody tells them that they can have positive impact on the #fediverse , and more specifically, *how* they can have positive impact, then all the energy and excitement that they brought with them will go to waste.
I already ranted about this few times before.

  Is it safe to assume that many of the peoole who joined recently are good at software development and technology overall? How can we encourage them to use their skills to improve Mastodon/Fediverse ecosystem? I think that it is really important for everyone to understand that open source projects allow us to contribute inprovements or even just ideas.

  I think that #mastodon is still missing an important piece of the puzzle: Some sort of contribution guide that lists ALL possible ways in which people can help improve whole ecosystem. I dumped some of my ideas into a document, but this is just ugly wall of text and links https://pisi.kompot.si/p/improving-mastodon We need something more visual, something that makes people get excited about building a better world. Well, at least the Mastodon part of the world for now.
