Beyond Death
Most of us have no idea what will happen when we die. But some people were actually declared dead and came back with remarkable stories—like meeting dead relatives. Science is now beginning to tell us what happens in near-death experiences.To The Best Of Our Knowledge
I think part of the reason why Mastodon fails for me is because it offers far too much control to users over what they see. I think this creates insular communities where reach is limited and opinions go unchallenged because that makes people uncomfortable.
If BLM / George Floyd happened on Mastodon instead of other social media, I do not think that change would've occurred because either people would mute the tags or words, or admins would ban profiles talking about it (because Masto is white)
My peeps, we are hiring. I've been at Coda for nearly a year and genuinely look forward to work every day. I get to work on the cool projects I want, with smart, kind people who enjoy what they're doing. And now we can use more help in our security department.
We're looking for a 100% remote (in the US, due to compliance obligations) security engineer. Downside: you have to see me all the time. More info at job-boards.greenhouse.io/coda/…

I have to ask, because apparently a lot of people don’t use the keyboard to navigate websites at all. I do it all the time.

If you are using a so called smart connected TV and are concerned about your privacy, you should read the following scientific article: "Watching TV with the Second-Party: A First Look at Automatic Content Recognition Tracking in Smart TVs"
arxiv.org/pdf/2409.06203v1
In short, if your TV's settings are not correctly adjusted, it can periodically (in some cases, every 10 seconds) send a fingerprint of what is being displayed to a server to find out what you are watching.

It is sad that the comment section was exactly what I expected, even here on Mastodon.
Woman posts about how men often react negatively to things women say for no apparent reason.
The exact kind of man she's talking about shows up and does exactly that. Exclaims, I would never do that, while doing that.
"Incremental #HTTP Messages" proposal:
Upon receiving a header section that includes the Incremental header field, HTTP intermediaries SHOULD NOT buffer the entire message before forwarding it. Instead, intermediaries SHOULD transmit the header section downstream and continuously forward the bytes of the message body as they arrive.

This document specifies the "Incremental" HTTP header field, which instructs HTTP intermediaries to forward the HTTP message incrementally. Discussion Venues This note is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.IETF Datatracker
why is the sky a SPHERE???

we should live in a CUBE. a CUBE is a nice, sensible shape! flat planes are EASY.

(Update: I previously said “mailing lists” but very little of the recent report concerns itself with email. The point still stands.)
There is a point getting lost in the noise of the Stallman thing which I’d like to highlight, in the hopes of helping reply guys understand why they’re receiving such a furious response to what they believe is a principled defense of open debate:
The events where Stallman was obnoxious were *for free software projects*. That is to say, a *professional context*.

There’s a lot of complexity around what open means and how that intersects with AI, but from a reputational and consistency perspective I really can’t get over this 👇🏽 for the current draft of the OSI AI definition.
mastodon.social/@odoruhako/113…
Just read the OSI "Open Source AI Definition" (opensource.org/deepdive/drafts…)
It's basically pointless but the best part is:
Data information needs to include: "a detailed description of all data used for training, including (if used) of unshareable data"
My man. If the data to train the model is unshareable meaning I cannot get it to reproduce your binary/model, your system _is not open source_.
