capitalism feels
@Hyolobrika@berserker.town Honestly the robot servitors would probably be reserved for the ultra wealthy while everyone else rots. 😅 Hard to imagine capitalists making anything that's supposed to improve people's quality of life lately. Only if it means they can extract as much as possible from the person.
@am@decept.org Finish up a draft of this content-aware chunking thing for web archives, write up and record a talk on holistic decentralization, progress on fixing bugs in this IPFS thing, have several meetings to do long term strategy for p2p database stuff. Probably more that I should be doing but is entirely unrealistic to focus on.
I'll likely only get two of those things done tonight anyway.
capitalism feels
I wish I didn't have to constantly work and push my body and mind to the brink just to afford to live comfortably enough that I can prevent myself from falling apart.
My friends are taking the day off but I can't because I have a bunch of obligations to keep this fragile career progressing.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, Fediverse/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Fediverse plus Mastodon. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning federated universe made useful by ActivityPub servers, fibre optic cables and vital moderation components comprising a full social network as defined by pedants.
Computers have been beating the best human Go players since 2016. The Go world champion retired in part because AI is “an entity that cannot be defeated.”
But a human just trounced one of the world’s best Go AIs 14 games to 1: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/man-beats-machine-at-go-in-human-victory-over-ai
I think this news story is more interesting than it might first appear (without knowing details, so grain of salt). It isn’t just a gaming curiosity; it points to a fundamental flaw with “deep learning” approaches in general.

It'd be cool if there was a bridge between the #fediverse and email such that you could mix mailing lists with fedi conversations and bridge the two worlds.
I ended up getting NieR Replicant since I found the previous game pretty fun even though I couldn't get past the last bullet hell level. 😅
@knhy I think I've played it on pretty much every console I own. 😨
@knhy Oh god. Honestly I wouldn't put it past me to buy Skyrim for like the 5th time. 😭
TBH tho the ps5 version doesn't even look much prettier than the ps5 version.
I've gotten to the point where I think we'd be better off in almost every way, very much including actually useful tech innovation, if we had very strict data collection/privacy laws and simply banned targeted advertising. I think freedom and democracy require a robust right to privacy and that we have really imperiled ourselves by treating its systemic for-profit violation as some kind of unobjectionable, neutral manifestation of free enterprise.
@SwiftOnSecurity SMH, AI stealing jobs from simps 🥲
@robryk I think Client-server might be a good start. I'm thinking a web extension yhat lets you register apps to redirect to would be a good start. Maybe you'd also need auth tokens or cookies sent to the app as part of that?
I think the main limiting factor would be the lack of search in RDF, so if endpoints provided Triple Pattern Fragments endpoints it'd get us the most bang for our buck.
@SwindlerOfInsanity @agregore It's a visual programming environment
@bojan Yeah! I'm really excited by the prospect of having this stuff integrated in to @agregore somehow.
I think an API along the lines of Navigator.reigsetProtocolHandler but for content types and or RDF schema types would be very doable here.

@kidehen @openlink @datasniff What sort of functionality does it bring that one doesn't get from the default fediverse page?
Is it just showing the structure of the semantic data so you can navigate it in the extension instead of the app?
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
