Solid article by @pluralistic on effects leaving a #socialmedia network, using a #economics framework.

This is definitely a good example where short-term MBA-types aim to maximize revenue without realizing that they are burning the "good will" the company fostered in the first place.

Social Quitting - Cory Doctorow - Medium

Friend of mine emailed me a very interesting article: informatics of the oppressed: logicmag.io/care/informatics-o…

Essentially it discusses the issue of algorithms, not from an abolitionist viewpoint, but from the stance that they are necessary and that it is possible to build ones that benefit us. It uses examples from Cuban libraries and Latin American experiments in communication and indexing.

An inquiry into the rich history of radical experiments to reorganize information.

So, just to avoid any confusion, when you run Windows 11, the product you are using is Windows 10. The Windows version is 2009 (which of course doesn't fall between versions 2008 and 2016, duh). So if you are using Windows Server 2022, the product is called 2022 but the version is 2009 because those two numbers seem like the same but they aren't.

The "Windows Current Version" for Windows 11 is 6.3. But don't use that number because Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 were also version 6.3. Windows 8 was 6.2.

Or if you want, just use build number 22621, also known as 22H2. The version 22H2 update is also called the "Windows 11 2022 update" because there never was a 22H1. But at least they changed their naming scheme and didn't call it Fall update because it was spring in half the world when it came out, heh.

I am looking for someone to take over the alt-text.org project. There's a working prototype and lots of low hanging fruit to start with, and I'll be available for any help you need.

One larger task is to rewrite the backend in Rust. It's primarily CPU bound and Node is not ideal. I've just released an implementation of the image matching algorithm used in Rust, which was always the biggest hurdle: github.com/alt-text-org/image-…

If you'd like to hear more, please DM.

Boosts welcome

The #Fedora Project uses @matrix for our instant messaging needs (with IRC bridges also).

While the default experience is with #Element, there are several other neat Matrix clients you can use.

#Fractal, @neochat, and #Nheko are some great options to check out!

The Organization for Ethical Source, stewards of the Contributor Covenant & Hippocratic License, are launching a working group to develop an Ethical Terms of Service.

Our aim is to empower smaller platform operators (e.g. Mastodon admins) to be ready for complex moderation & governance. The Ethical ToS will reflect best practices based on real-world experience, and adoption will signal a commitment to the safety of vulnerable users.

"Wenn Du keine Ads & kein Tracking haben willst, nimm die Kaufversion der App."

Nette Theorie. In der Praxis sieht es laut meinen Statistiken (android.izzysoft.de/stats) so aus, dass fast jede zweite Bezahl-App mit Trackern und jede fünfte noch mit Werbemodulen daher kommt. Meine Empfehlung daher:

"Wenn Du nicht willst dass Deine Apps Dich tracken und mit Werbung zuballern: Installiere sie von @fdroidorg f-droid.org".

Da werden Sie geholfen! Spenden an die Entwickler gern trotzdem 😉

Here's a very early implementation of #Firefox Sync running in Thunderbird Daily!

The bones are there and the foundation is solid.

Though it may be called something else by the time we launch it in Thunderbird 115 (such as Thunderbird Sync or #Mozilla Sync), it's a feature we're THRILLED about putting in your hands.
