En el tema de x, bluesky y el fedi me parece interesante el concepto antropológico de cismogénesis. Se trata del mecanismo por el que una comunidad se divide, estableciendo diferencias en la conducta o el sistema de valores para constituir su identidad como distinta de otros grupos. Es algo que se ve claramente en ciertas reacciones de polarización política. El ministro de Consumo dice que hay que reducir el consumo de carne y de repente a la derecha le encanta la carne, no como un valor espontáneo sino como una forma de marcar su diferencia.
Twitter y el fedi tuvieron un proceso de cismogénesis hace mucho tiempo, mucho antes de que Musk lo comprase. La identidad del fedi se fundó sobre valores diamétricamente opuestos al Twitter de entonces: centralizado, normativo, viral y liberal. Frente a esto el fedi se constituye como una contracultura de la descentralización, las relaciones a escala humana evitando la viralidad y la influencia de los famosos, y con tintes comunistas o anarquistas.
La cismogénesis entre X y bluesky surgen de un cambio significativo en la identidad y la valencia que para muchos tenía X y la ruptura tras la compra de Musk. La huida a bluesky se plantea no como una ruptura, como el fedi, buscando una identidad distinta y, desdes sus propias coordenadas, progresista; sino como un acto de nostalgia, o recuperación de un pasado mejor. La identidad que bluesky se está creando es la de ser el Twitter de antes de Musk, como negación de X.
Por eso hay una inevitable fricción entre bluesky y el fedi: tenemos un autoconcepto distinto y un sistema de valores que surge de procesos casi opuestos. El fedi es decir, "Twitter es malo, quiero construir algo mejor, ingobernable, fuera de la lógica del mercado, y a escala humana." El bluesky es decir, "X es malo, pero el Twitter de antes era bueno. Quiero volver a lo que había, con anuncios, periodistas, famosos, políticos, y algoritmos, pero sin la deriva facha de X."
Inevitablemente estas dos posturas no concuerdan, y creo que por eso hay una fricción entre ambas comunidades, que también sufren su propia cismogénesis (por ejemplo en el modo en que en el fedi se refuerza el valor de consentimiento por opción para todo, descentralización, o ausencia de publicidad y vigilancia, como diferencia con bluesky).
Los valores que se adquieren por cismogénesis pueden no ser espontáneos, pero no son menos reales una vez que se asumen socialmente. En buena medida una comunidad tiende a converger con las historias que cuenta y se cree sobre si misma, y esto hace sugerir que, a corto plazo, el ambiente en el fedi y bluesky continuarán divergiendo.
Big Fedi, Small Fedi
As I often do, I made a poll on the fediverse about two concepts I am interested in: Big Fedi versus Small Fedi. Although I think these are interesting topics, I couldn’t come up with exact s…Evan Prodromou's Blog
Creo que es difícil hablar categóricamente sobre el tema, y tendemos a generalizar, que por otra parte es la única forma de intentar describir una realidad tan compleja.
En concreto, la disyuntiva entre fedi grande y pequeño me pareció un artículo interesante, pero que creo que no captura bien la postura de mucha gente. De hecho estuve a punto de escribir algo al respecto en respuesta, tipo fedi: size isn't everything.
Si tuviera que elegir, creo que me decantaría por la idea de fedi pequeño, pero mi argumento también se puede sostener en el pluralismo: ya tenemos distintos mecanismos comerciales de redes sociales. El fedi tiene una propuesta que es única en la medida en que se aparta de estos parámetros. Mi opinión es que el énfasis en la seguridad o la prevalencia de la cronolínea local son cosas contingentes, pero que el haz de valores anticomerciales, que no solo permiten sino que nutren una red en la que se limita la influencia y se apoya lo único y diferente, es necesario para que el fedi mantenga su esencia. Por supuesto respeto que esta no es la única forma de ver las cosas.

I did it, it's out!
This is a labour of love and fighting against my own self deprecation.
I've been told my whole life that I was tone deaf and a terrible singer.
I had to push myself real hard to start getting singing lessons at 39 years old, and publishing this song, knowing that it's not perfect.
I still hate the sound of my voice, and I know that I can do better, but I needed to let this go and move forward.
I see so much nastiness being flung about on my timeline about #blueSky being run by billionaire bastards/dicks/every insult in the book, that they support fascism, that they are turning a good product bad. You realize that for most people they just want a place to share cat pics and keep track of book releases, right? Like... do I need to explain that for the majority a social media is just a social media, nd they couldn't care less WHO runs it as long as the people they care about are on it? Sure, ideology is important but good god, looking from the outside in the fediverse really looks like a bunch of salty geeks arguing over semantics sometimes and that's a shame because it CAN be great. Maybe just a little more happy and a little less judgy. Can we do that?

Trying to figure out the marketing speak of things like "WD Elements" or "WD Passport" external USB hard drives.
Are they just hard drive I can reformat as I wish or is there some trick with the garbage software they ship with it. Strangely the "PC" version is cheaper than the "Mac" version. (I don't care either way, so less money is good)
I don't want to have to go through the return hassle if I get one.
So I have a bunch and there's all just straight up external disks.
There may be a difference in quality - speed, endurance, what have you.
It usually comes with software for backups but AFAIK there's nothing OS specific. Our designer at work used a non-Mac one for years.
@alpha1beta ok, that's what I wondering. cool.
yes I expect varying level of internal hard drive "quality" I have already a bunch of LaCie and WD accumulated over the years
Haven't had a WD fail on me yet. Got 21 spinning now, oldest from around 2018
However, rarely have I had a seagate not fail one me. Never had a LaCie - any good?
Oof. Sticking to WD then. I got .25PB at home at this point, all WD drives.
Funny enough, for SSDs and SD cards, its Sandisk I run from. WD Blacks have been wood, but Sandisk SD cards suck - I buy almost exclusively Samsung.
Elements used to be the plug in 3.5" drives but now there's a portable...not sure what's the diff. My Collection is mostly Type-C Passports which come with a C-C cable and detachable C to A adapter.
At a quick glance, Passports seem to have a longer warranty and higher speed.
WD Black is basically a passport in a tough case with the old MicroB connector (I have 2 of these)
Simple answer: Get a windows Passport Type C

I really, really can’t say enough positive things about server-side Swift. I literally had no backend experience before this year, but I decided to write the entire backend for AltStore PAL in Swift and after some initial hiccups (*cough* URLSession *cough*) it’s been remarkably smooth sailing. Plus I can still use Xcode to develop everything & cross-compile for Linux!
If you’ve been wanting to experiment with server-side Swift, there’s really no better time to start swift.org/documentation/server…

Every time I have to deal with the libatspi C API, I want to bang my head repeatedly against the desk. The Python bindings around it moved from a "we're writing static bindings so might as well make them more idiomatic" to a big "let's fix the C API" layer, but nobody is fixing the C API because that would require breaking backward compatibility.
I'm not even going to touch the fact that it took more than 10 years to get the RPC interfaces to match the implementation…

These #InternationalStudents Wanted #Citizenship. #Canada Killed That Dream.
As Canada tries to staunch an overflow of temporary #immigration, tens of thousands of international students and recent grads may be forced to leave the country. Here are their stories.
"For example, I’m developing a device for newborn care that monitors infants’ body temperature, skin colour, eye colour, weight and heart rate, among other factors, to track their health, particularly during those critical first few weeks of life. It could save lives. Think of how many other students have ideas and skills we can’t even imagine yet.
That’s why it’s so disheartening to hear some Canadians talk about international students like we’re parasites. I pay about $12,000 per semester in tuition—far more than Quebec residents do. I have a campus job as a kitchen supervisor to cover my expenses, and I live in a small two-bedroom apartment with a roommate. People like me are not responsible for Canada’s problems. But we can help solve them, contributing to the country’s cultural diversity, its economy, its innovation and its growth. And by bridging gaps between nations, we help build a more inclusive society for everyone."

is there a visual thing to learn, as a teen here, that actually writing "2.146". wouldn't provide?
It bothered me as a kid myself having to 'feel' analogue clocks, but I don't see interpreting the number in this way is any different to reading it from a screen in the first place?
- (weighted) push-ups (33%, 1 vote)
- renegade rows (66%, 2 votes)
I used to do a pull-push split but now I usually do two splits. My primary split is an upper- and lower-body split. I split arm and torso/back concentration on alternate upper-body days.
on leg day, I can only do 7 or so sufficiently hard exercises with the limited equipment I have so I don’t bother splitting.
So it’s three sets of exercises. Every upper-body day mixes pulling and pushing but every muscle group only hits 100% once every 3-4 days.
@gekitsu The reason I do this is partly because I don’t really have equipment to do a lot of push-based exercises. Our bed isn’t heavy; if I face away from my bed when I do a push exercise with resistance bands, I tend to drag the bed. No bench makes it hard to do presses with full motion.
Trying different variations of push-ups (elbows in/out, narrow/wide) seems my best bet for pushing right now (but I’m open to ideas!)
