I pay several times more running a Mastodon instance than I would for twitter blue. AMA

This Google Meet could have been a Zoom Call that could have been the sound of 2 leaves colliding in a stream.

COMPOST and Distributed Press are sister projects of two tech worker co-ops, Hypha Worker Co-op (Canada) and Sutty (Argentina)!
We've been partnering with Filecoin Foundation for the DWeb since Fall 2022 to bring no-code publishing tools to the decentralized Web built for activists, journalists, artists + offline folks.
Beta release coming soon to a web near you! More here >> https://ffdweb.org/building-distributed-press-a-publishing-tool-for-the-decentralized-web/
Maybe AI models destroying search results and trust in digital information will being a resurgence of people depending on librarians to get research information. 😛

Google's Bard demo shows it confidently giving you an incorrect answer to a question, right there in the product announcement.
My daughter is working on an assignment about the benefits and drawbacks of automation right now. She's having a hard time finding reliable sources on the internet.
This is all just great.

Personally, I wish that the "code red" response that ChatGPT inspired at Google wasn't to launch a dozen AI products that their red teams and AI ethicists have warned them not to release, but to combat the tsunami of AI-generated SEO spam bullshit that's in the process of destroying their core product. Instead, they're blissfully launching new free tools to generate even more of it.
Should I live-toot my thinking process when working through stuff some time?
Mostly debugging random nodejs stuff, getting native binaries to build, and maybe a bit of p2p stuff if I'm lucky.
Neat topic
> Why does the Second Law work? And does it even in fact always work, or is it actually sometimes violated? What does it really depend on? What would be needed to “prove it”?

Think on the bright side: if everything is as bad as you think it is with software monopolies making bad decisions, then conditions are prime for someone (you? me?) to go and eat their lunch. A year ago I would have cringed at this sentiment for being hopelessly naive, but in the mean time some ill advised layoffs and a number of baffling strategic decisions brought springtime to the federated web.
Google is *not* the great library of Alexandria, and it is not too big to fail.
What accounts in the eastern hemisphere should I follow so that I can get a steady stream of morning/noon shitposts when it's my bedtime? (usually around 07:00 UTC)

I feel like people generally don't know how horrifying the Teen Titans GO Easter Bunny episode is, but I hope this post helps change that.

I have a confession, fedi. I secretly have fun using computers on the regular. 😭 I actually really enjoy sending little bits of text to people and watching silly videos.
Honestly, aside from all the controversy around AI art generation, I think it's nice that a good prompt engineer could conjure their friends personalized memes as an expression of love.
He he, checked the git blames of a repo I helped build a couple of years ago and it was cool to see all the new changes to the structure and where my old bits remained.

But what about theft? If you park your car in a high crime area, you're likely to get your windows smashed!
But, most theft in this country, is wage theft. Mostly rich white business owners, stealing wages from poor Black and brown service workers. Between $8B and $15B a year. Yes I said "billion!" Yes I said "a year!"
