1. It's NOT AI; it's MACHINE LEARNING.
2. If you cannot refer to it as Machine Learning, then you are buying into the TREND that is AI.

Rewiring Mozilla: Doing for AI what we did for the web

As AI becomes a fundamental component of everything digital, it’s imperative that Mozilla steps in to shape where it goes.

Liebe #Fediverse Aktivisti und Advokati 🌟

Alle unsere Einsichten, Kampagnen und Materialien, um Menschen für das Fediverse zu begeistern (seien es How-to Guides, Microsites, Erfahrungsberichte, Audio, Video, Grafiken, Workshop-Konzepte, Kunst oder Merch), sind aktuell zu verstreut als dass wir alle aus ihnen gemeinsam schöpfen könnten. Es ist JETZT Zeit, das zu ÄNDERN 😄

Ich habe nun einen Artikel im @JoinFediverseWiki begonnen, der ALLE Ressourcen sammeln soll, die den Anspruch haben, Menschen mit wenig bis gar keinem Wissen in das Fediverse zu bringen:

joinfediverse.wiki/Fediverse_o…

Die Zusammenstellung enhält bereits eine Menge Guides, Merchandise-Angebote, Infografiken, künstlerische Grafiken, Branding Materialen, DIY-Projekte, Clips, Vortragsaufzeichnungen, Testimonials, Presseberichte, Bücher usw. und natürlich gibt es einen Abschnitt zu Workshops 😀

Macht gerne mit und helft, damit diese Sammlung noch bunter wird. Ihr könnt selbst im Wiki mitarbeiten* oder mir hier eure Beiträge zuleiten, damit ich sie einpflege. Vor allem, wenn ihr Fediverse Einführungsworkshops gebt, wäre es eine Freude, euch auf der Liste der Workshop-Gebenden zu haben 😙

⁂ Bitte boosten, damit das auch die entferntesten Knoten im Fediverse erreicht ⁂

*Bitte beachten: Wegen einer aggressiven Spambot-Welle ist die Registrierungsfunktion des Wikis momentan deaktiviert. Wenn ihr einen Account braucht, wendet euch bitte an @PaulaToThePeople 🙏

Just use Delta Chat man wtf

Child A (who has been reading a lot of #Asterix #comics recently): What ... What is Gaul called now?
Mum: France. Well, mostly.
A: What do... fra.. franci
Mum: French?
A: What do you call French sailors?
Mum: I don't know?
A: Sea-Gauls!

I'm very proud. That is, hands down, better than 90% of my #jokes

Self-hosted Delta Chat?

I've been thinking more about the hurtle of getting friends and family to use federated/self-hosted services. One of the issues to onboarding is people not "getting" the idea of picking an instance. This has led, in part, to "default" instances, like mastadon.social, that grow so large it almost defeates the idea.

I've been thinking that I really wish #DeltaChat had a web client. I have had a MUCH more difficult time getting folks to try that out than even #fediverse SNS. But I was thinking how the heck are you going to pull that off without @delta having to host the overhead for a robust web client and possibly host a gigantic server system that has to grow exponentially to keep everyone's email from all the possible email providers, really defeating the goal of their project.

This morning, I thought of a possible solution to both problems. What if you have a built-in transfer requirement. So you start with a default, say pleb.joinmastodon.org or noob.delta.chat and after a certain time (3 months or something) you have to either transfer to a new instance, including hosting your own client for in browser decryption web access to your encrypted mail chats or your account (in the case of #mastodon) or web client access (in the case of Delta Chat) is shut off.

Do you think this could work?

--------------------

Welcome to StroongeCast Clips,

a selection of highlights from various episodes.

We're gonna start with episode seven, Jake and

Alice.

- Well, my friends are really baffled by it.

They're like, "How does your dad get around the

house?"

Or like, "How does he play piano?"

Or like, "Does he do daily life activities?"

- What do you say?

What do you tell them?

- Um, usually he's like,

well, he like feels with his hands

or he just gets used to it

'cause everything is in the same place most of

the time.

- For me, all of my friends,

none of them know how smart you actually are

with computers and stuff,

how you use your phone or whatever.

And I always try to describe voiceover to them,

but they never understand it.

So- - You've gotta show it.

- Oh, you're saying- - Yeah, I could show them.

But yeah, they just think you sit at home like a

sod

and just do nothing, I think.

(all laughing)

- They don't understand how you do anything.

- Wow.

- I'm the sodding dad.

I do nothing. - That's hilarious.

- That's what they think. - Priceless.

- They're like, "How does he type?"

Especially with the piano stuff.

They're like, "Oh."

- Episode 20.

- Synesthesia.

What was, maybe you should share the one with the

piano key.

- Oh gosh.

That's kind of a bit weird.

People think I'm quite bizarre.

- Well, when we read some of the others out,

I don't think you'll be the only one.

- There is one note on the piano,

which is F4 on the piano, right?

So C4 is the middle of the piano for a lot of

people.

So F4, which is the F above C4,

is the feeling of a boob.

Yup.

In the palm.

I have no answer for why that might be.

So if you're drinking tea and you take it this,

I apologize.

But I can't tell you why that is the case.

I just know it is the case.

Episode 44.

- Communication is key.

- I was so claustrophobic by the end of those

two or three weeks,

because I had to be guided everywhere.

All I wanted to do at the end of the day

was go to the hotel room or sit on a balcony.

And at the time I was single,

so I just go on a dating site.

And that sounds really sad, doesn't it?

But that's all I wanted to do,

because it was the only time I could get some

head space

where I was sort of in my own head

and I didn't have to think about other people

or other people taking me or where am I.

Because I think what people don't realize

is about being blind,

that your adrenaline circuits are on maximum

firing

all the time.

So although you're guiding Andre, Kirsten,

and that's sort of, I can't think of the right

word,

but that's an activity that you're undertaking

and it's you're keeping an eye on him.

Andre's also guiding himself

'cause he's avoiding stuff

and getting out of the way of things

and listening constantly.

So he's probably knackered after a day of that,

just as you're knackered from guiding him.

- Episode 47.

- Cruise cast.

And then you're gonna make me say

what happened next, aren't you?

- Unfortunately, because it was one of the most

scary things

that's ever happened to all of us, I think.

So whilst Jake had gone, he ran.

Obviously it was a very stressful moment

because we were thinking,

well, what if he's lost all of his stuff

if someone's taken everything?

And, or what if he doesn't get back in time?

Like, what do we do?

And we were at this bus stop, sat there,

and I started to feel a bit strange,

just queasy.

And I thought, I feel sick because it's the

stress,

the anxiety of, oh my gosh, what do we do?

And then my ears started to sort of cloud over

and I couldn't hear anything.

And I was feeling really, really dodgy.

And I said to you, I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

I've never passed out in my life, never fainted,

nothing.

So I don't really know, but I just, I felt really

awful.

And I sat down on the floor because the bus stop

was just one of those tiny little, not even a

bench thing.

I sat on the floor and I could feel my whole head

just completely go fuzzy.

I couldn't hear anything.

And then the next thing I remember was a man crouched

down

in front of me saying, are you okay?

Are you okay?

- Yeah, he did.

- And I sat up and went, I think I just fainted.

And he went, oh, okay.

- Episode 60.

- Do you believe in smacking?

When Jake was a toddler, I used to take him to

this group

and there was a mum there with her,

I think it was a little boy.

And I think he'd gone and hit another child or

something.

I mean, he would have been like 18 months to two

years old.

I mean, we're talking little.

He really, he didn't have many words at all.

And he'd hit another child, I think, not hard,

just in the way that they do.

And she went up to him and smacked him on the

hand

and said, we don't smack.

- That's okay, right, sure.

- And I just remember being so baffled by that.

How can you say to a toddler that, I mean, any

child,

but to a very young child who barely even

understands

the world yet, I'm gonna do something to you,

but you're not allowed to do it to anybody else.

- Thanks for listening.

And we will catch you next week.

- Bye.

Well, maybe we need to be more clear what we are trying to do: #deltachat apps are a cross-platform private messenger suite, that aims to provide a consistent UX/UI for users with lots of experience using WhatsApp and Signal.

Telegram has good fast UX but is hardly a private messenger (it has a central cleartext database of everyone and everything).

Matrix and XMPP are well-esteemed fellows in federated messaging, but so far didn't grow a WA/Signal-level cross-platform messaging UX.

YMMV

@Tutanota Tuta mail seems to have some issues. Currently can't access neither web mail nor via Android app.

A lost recording of a Pavarotti concert in a Welsh village is released.

The Decca label celebrates the late tenor’s 90th birthday with the out-of-print archives of the Llangollen Competition, which he won in 1955 as a member of an amateur choir.

‘The Lost Concert’ also includes the first two recordings of Pavarotti’s career.
