Not who you’re asking, but I assume you find either an instance that is slow to federate, or one that doesn’t honor deletion requests.

Haven’t gotten through the entire protocol description yet, but so far it seems closer to DMs on a social network than digital letters.

Neat, but maybe we should just do email-over-activitypub then…

I’m not sure if you explicitly want an RFC-style description (i.e. follows https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2119 for MUST vs SHOULD vs etc) or if you are using RFC as a colloquial term for the technical details of the protocol.

In case of the latter, the “protocol” link at the top resolves to this GitHub repo: https://github.com/Open-Email/MailHTTPS-Protocol

Same, it’s impressive how much it irks people.

My own hasty judgement is that [those upset] only speak English, have a prescriptivist take on language (albeit unconsciously), and have no idea how damaging hegemony and uniformity for their own sake can be.

Also they’re lazy and would rather shame someone than take on a little bit of discomfort to adapt to them.

I guess that makes it “judgements”, plural.

For instances that already have a user base, admins should not make any significant decisions without the consent of their users. This goes against our values, and we will not permit an instance to use Bridgy Fed in this manner. We’ve had conversations on how to handle a situation like this, and we would block instances [3] from doing so. We strongly expect admins to be loud about bridging, especially during signup. 3/10

This is very encouraging to read from a project that initially did not understand why many would be opposed to an opt-out bridge to ATProto.

Oh man, just realized this is just YouTube Play buttons but for extension developers.

On the one hand, this is very cool.

On the other, it does nothing to help an extension author resist selling out their user base when they find themselves in a bit of financial trouble. Unless we expect said authors to be able to resell their award(s) to collectors or something?

Huh. So maybe we will one-day get robots that bruise and bleed liquid metal when cut.

Jokes aside, this is really cool and I’ll be showing this to my local fab lab.

This would be great but how do you train an LLM to act as you? You’d need to be recording your thoughts and actions, not only every bit of speech you utter and every character you type on a device.

And as far as I’m aware, we don’t know how to rapidly nor efficiently train transformer-based architectures anywhere near the size needed to act like chatgpt3.5, let alone 4o etc, so you’ll also need to be training this thing for a while before you can start using it to introspect - by which point you may already no longer behave the same.

Wanted to try it, signed up for the beta, still waiting on my invite code.

On the surface, bluesky integration makes sense if they’re trying to onboard people onto “the social web”. Still, I’m disappointed they seem to want to be a curated view on what they determine is a feed, and not some kind of plug’n’play feed viewer beyond RSS.

Ok but if it allows anubis to judge the soul of my bytes as being worthy of reaching a certain site I’m trying to access, then the program is not making any calculations that I don’t want it to.

Would the FSF prefer the challenge page wait for user interaction before starting that proof of work? Along with giving them user a “don’t ask again” checkbox for future challenges?

To my knowledge, there is 1 feature that forgejo has that gitea doesn’t: it can generate a new ssh key for you at the click of a button that can be used to push repo changes to another git forge.

I have several personal repos on my forgejo instance that are each setup so that they mirror themselves onto my Codeberg account at noon every day.

I also have a gitea instance on a raspi on my local network that itself will push out changes on certain repos to the (public-facing) forgejo instance.

I can push and/or pull to any of the three origins as needed, but usually I just push to the gitea when I’m at home and the forgejo when I’m not, and let the mirroring take care of propagating changes to Codeberg.

I see the tumblr culture is already present, congrats! Although I never personally used tumblr, my understanding is that more than features or functionality it was very much the culture that its users cultivated that made that site special.

And surprise, surprise, almost half of his “I use Linux now guys” video is showing off the window manager hyprland, which got a lot of bad press over the past 2 years:

I suspect there is wisdom to be learned from forest management, specifically how regular, small controlled burns are how you avoid huge, unmanageable forest fires.

I don’t expect ai/LLM tools to make it easier to create nice looking art, but they should make it easier for anyone to create their own placeholder graphics that at least would allow them to run the game on their own.

Now there’s a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.

RIP and damn you Jacen for fallling so hard (even if said fall made for some very compelling writing).

Sounds like The Matrix.

They probably think the tree farming that the space age expansion introduces (finally a way to counter your pollution!) is “some gay shit”.
