"... we’ve amassed around 60,000 followers across our six trial accounts, and we have had to do very little moderation of replies associated with our content.

"We’ve had really encouraging levels of engagement (i.e. replies, re-posts and likes) on Mastodon.

"For some equivalent posts we’ve seen significantly larger engagement numbers for Mastodon compared to X/Twitter, particularly given the relative sizes of different platforms"

Tried getting a fully local multi-modal model to tell me what it seems in my logo and it's honestly mind blowing that it can identify anything at all. i used `ollama run llava` on my steam deck. Might be a useful tool to integrate with caption generators or for folks wanting to get a description without needing an online service

I worry that big data / analytics types don't care enough about how monitoring metrics to influence people destroys diversity and robustness.

I just got an amber alert with a bit.ly link that redirected to twitter and I would just really love it for governments to not base public information systems on the flimsiest chain of adversarial platforms imaginable

@mauve@staticpub.mauve.moe In case anyone is interested, I've made a PR that adds an initial attempt using the `url` field with `rel=alternate`.

Humans are such wimps. Look at me I need the air around me to jiggle at a certain speed or I will literally die. Oh now now the air molecules are jiggling too fast. I need them to jiggle less

Hey fedifolks! I was hoping to get some bikeshedding feedback on a new we're working on at .

tl;dr we want objects to link to URLs for alternate ways to load them. Right now I'm debating between putting them in `alsoKnownAs` or into the `url` field. e.g. `"alsoKnownAs": ["ipns://staticpub.mauve.moe"]` for @mauve@staticpub.mauve.moe

I worry that field is already in use and that it could cause trouble. Would a new field name be better? Maybe `alternateURL`?

my new computer is a lot better at running language models locally. I'm seeing if I can get it to explain code in a language I've never worked with before. so far so good!

"Google and Facebook have been unscathed by European privacy law. That’s not because they don’t violate the GDPR. It’s because they pretend they are headquartered in Ireland, one of the EU’s most notorious corporate crime havens. And Ireland competes with the EU’s other crime havens — Malta, Luxembourg, Cyprus and, sometimes, the Netherlands — to see which country can offer the most hospitable environment.
The Irish Data Protection Commission rules on very few cases, and more than two-thirds of its rulings are overturned by the EU courts, even though Ireland is the nominal home to the most privacy-invasive companies on the continent. So Google and Facebook get to act as though they are immune to privacy law, because they violate the law with an app"

I think I wish to work on this sort of thing but I dunno if I could afford to drop everything for it. 🥲

What was the most revolutionary technology ever invented?

The wheel.

Although, the shovel was groundbreaking.

Some people also considered the invention of the knife cutting edge.

It'd actually be so wild if the programming industry had settled on royalties for written code instead of fully giving up your copyright to corporations.
