​:boost_requested:​ A call to all app developers! ​:boost_requested:​

We want your help! While there is an official Calckey client in the works, we'd love to see more third party clients for Calckey start to be worked on! That's why we're putting out a $200 bounty for either an original Calckey app on your mobile platform of choice, or a $150 bounty adding Calckey support to your existing app.

There are some guidelines though:

- Uses the Calckey/Misskey API (calckey.social/api-doc), and implements basic features (including all timelines, quotes, reacts, explore, notifications, chats, bookmarks, channels, antennas/lists).

- Written in a language that compiles for your platform of choice (Kotlin/Java for Android, Swift for iOS. No React Native/Capacitor. Flutter is a maybe).

- Follows modern design guidelines for your platform of choice.

- Submitted to an App Store (Play Store or App Store. F-Droid is a bonus!) If you don't have a developer license, we'll also cover the cost of that.

- If you're adding support for an existing app, it must have at least 10,000 downloads.

DM this account if you're interested!

Oh hey! I just had my first social media post to be taken down from any platform ever, on LinkedIn. Yay! My post about the flabbergasting amounts of racism in "AI" violated their "professional" community guideline. Indeed. Its quite professional to be as racist as possible, but not professional to call it out. Totally makes sense.

A je to tu. #netflix zavádí příplatek za sdílení účtu.
Já osobně tedy s Netflixem příliš spokojený nebyl, takže je mi to celkem u prciny.
Osobně bych nejvíce uvítal jednu platformu, kde člověk najde všechny seriály a filmy. Já vím, je to utopie, ale bylo by to super.

So, the other "godfather" of AI, Turing Award Winner Yoshua Bengio has decided to FULLY align himself with the #TESCREAL bundle, writing a thing about "rogue AI" and prominently citing people like Nick Bostrom.

Take a good look at this text here. This is written by non other than Nick Bostrom, prominently featured by so many of these fathers and godfathers and sons and brothers and nephews of "AI" (given that its all men you know).

David Musick: I have always liked the uncompromisingly objective way of thinking and speaking: the more counterintuitive and repugnant a formulation, the more it appeals to me given that it is logically correct. Take for example the following sentence: Blacks are more stupid than whites. I like that sentence and think it is true. But recently I have begun to believe that I won't have much success with most people if I speak like that. They would think that I were a "racist": that I _disliked_ black people and thought that it is fair if blacks are treated badly. I don't. It's just that based on what I have read, I think it is probable that black people have a lower average IQ than mankind in general, and I think that IQ is highly correlated with what we normally mean by "smart" and stupid". I may be wrong about the facts, but that is what the sentence means for me. For most people, however, the sentence seems to be synonymous with: I hate those bloody niggers!!!! My point is that while speaking with the provocativness of unabashed objectivity would be appreciated by me and many other persons on this list, it may be a less effective strategy in communicating with some of the people "out there". I think it is laudable if you accustom people to the offensiveness of truth, but be prepared that you may suffer some personal damage. Niklas Bostrom n.bostrom@lse.ac.uk

The entire foundation of this field is the most racist shit I've ever seen. The more I learn the more bizarre it gets. And your favorites, OpenAI + co. are most influenced by, you guessed it, Nick Bostrom. "Altman has written about the influence Nick Bostrom...the "father" of longtermist thought, has had on him and his work": lnkd.in/gsVwrpJM

Is OpenAI's Sam Altman building a tech dream or a sci-fi nightmare?

With the success of ChatGPT, Altman has turned into a household name. And he's just getting started.

New app added to our Accessible Apps directory: Zuzanka. Zuzanka is the world’s first expiry date scanner. The app makes it easy to locate expiration dates on food products, converts them to text format and allows export to other applications. If you're looking for an app to get to know the expiration date independently, this app is for you. Details can be found on the following link tinyurl.com/yc5ek9nb

Last night I got to introduce Mai to #Jamulus, one of the singers I work with for the first time. She wants to rehearse with me but lives far away, and we found that for some reason, Jamulus's latency is lower than SonoBus so we're going to use that for the time being. Anyway, after a test run, I said 'come meet all the mad people I jam with on a regular basis' and this was the last jam of the evening for her, after about an hour of hanging out. It's ridiculous and we call it:
Good night, see you later.

Columna | "Una ciudad ni grande ni pequeña, al lado de Barcelona, una tarde de sol, después del trabajo. Tal vez lo que más impacta del vídeo sea precisamente eso, el chispazo de la violencia gratuita, de uniforme, a plena luz del día". Por Pablo Ordaz elpais.com/opinion/2023-05-24/…

He estado analizando en qué se ha gastado Almeida los fondos europeos para obras en Madrid y en qué barrios.

El resultado es más descarado todavía de lo que nos podríamos imaginar. En @ElSaltoDiario elsaltodiario.com/ayuntamiento…


Almeida gasta casi 30 millones de fondos europeos en barrios del centro y 86.000 euros en Vallecas

El Ayuntamiento de Madrid ha invertido más de 20 millones de los fondos Next Generation en obras en Chamberí, Salamanca y Retiro.

@Michael Vogel Wenn Du das auf den ersten Blick nicht siehst, habe ich wohl etwas falsch gemacht, denn geteilte Beiträge werden meines Wissens in der Regel sehr schnell geteilt und es wird angezeigt, dass sie geteilt wurden.

Kann es einen Zusammenhang geben, dass der nativ zu teilende Blogger-Account weder in den dortigen noch in den Kontakten des Oldie-Accounts angezeigt wird?

Tell me if you can relate to this:

When you were a kid, you were Smart. You grasped concepts, skills, and ideas right away, and were frequently praised for it. You did well in school and being Smart became part of your identity, to the point that when you weren’t immediately good at something, you tended to avoid it or give up on it. After awhile you stopped risking having the wrong answer to a question...

When I was a teenager and my voice dropped, I wasn't immediately good at singing high notes, so I figured I must just be a baritone. It wasn't until almost 20 years later, when I started singing karaoke, that I started to experiment more and found that I could actually hit high notes with some practice. But to get there, I think I had to be free to experiment in a low-stakes environment, particularly without the pressure to be the musical prodigy that I had been as a child.
