Older Millennials and GenX
have a unique perspective on the before and after world.
We use (and build) them now, but we grew up without IoT, without social media, without "smart" phones. When cameras were big and privacy was some sort of the default.
We have an important responsibility to fight for privacy rights so that younger generations will also know the freedom given by these rights.
We cannot let society
make them think this is normal and that nothing else is possible.
We must fight for #privacy for them too ✊🔒
The latest @inkandswitch project I’ve been involved with is Upwelling: an exploration of what a text editor might look like if it had both Google-Docs-style real-time collaboration and something like Git-style pull requests. https://www.inkandswitch.com/upwelling/

From the top of my head
Many graph views of the instance I federate with:
* a view with weight by count of public/unlisted/DM toot with incoming/outgoing/both.
* same view that include when we federated / (rever) order by when we federated, how we federated with them (a boost(from where) , a toot search, etc.)
A way to send a message as an admin to another admin on a remote instance.

Honestly, I wish I could interact with everything through APIs instead of fancy user interfaces. I hate having to install extra apps and dig around before I can find the button I need to click to do the thing I want to do.
This message brought to you by me being frustrated with how long it took to get access to EFTs from my bank.
ai, llm
Gonna try this one next.

It's the same thing but apparently the quantization is "better" according to this huggingface post: https://huggingface.co/8bit-coder/alpaca-7b-nativeEnhanced/discussions/5
As expected, this thing can't code for shit. :P
Cursed cURL request:

Just ran a lil LLM on my #SteamDeck. 7b with 4bit quantization so it's pretty small and dumb. I'm calling it stink-demon.
I'm gonna try to get it to do simple formatting tasks from text I've selected with my mouse based on the speech to text I'm adding to my deck via Vosk and steam-dictation.
It is genuinely baffling how much discussion of passkeys omits the extremely basic question of WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU LOSE YOUR PHONE https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/3/23709318/google-accounts-passkey-support-password-2fa-fido-security-phishing
Anyone know of an alternative to 1password and the such which is self hosted #opensource and supports acting as a #2fa app?
@76c71aae3a491f1d9eec47cba17e229cda4113a0bbb6e6ae1776d7643e29cafa Hey! Does the bridge work?
Fug. I really don't want to do the dance of setting up my 2FA on for everything again. Might just leave it on my old computer and VPN in whenever I need it. 🤪
Ugh. I wish things that required #2FA authenticator apps were required to support having multiple apps. I've been using KeySmith on KDE and I have no way to reuse my data on a second device. 🙃
4. Federated moderation
It's likely we won't have time for this in our current sprint, but I'd personally love to collaborate with groups thinking about how we can more easily opt into blocklists. For example, if you run a distributed press instance, it should be useful for all the sites on your community to opt into a blocklist instead of having to moderate everything on their own.
3. Word filters
In a lot of cases it's pretty safe to just say "We don't want any slurs, or anything that looks like a slur on our blog. Or similar with particular trigger words if you have a community that would be vulnerable to them.
Similar to blocking instances, we'll have a way to paste a list of words you just want auto-filtered out before the mods even see them.
