Калькирование синтаксиса иврита творит чудеса. В библейском иврите огромное количество предложений начинается с союза «и» (буква Вав), который связывает повествование в единый непрерывный поток. И если это делать намеренно, сразу появляется эпичность.
I might be working up a rant about the elegant symmetry of De Morgan's laws, and how unfortunately it's wrong.
There are four laws:
1. ¬A ∧ ¬B → ¬(A ∨ B) 2. ¬(A ∨ B) → ¬A ∧ ¬B
3. ¬A ∨ ¬B → ¬(A ∧ B) 4. ¬(A ∧ B) → ¬A ∨ ¬B
Intuitionistic logic accepts 1–3, but not 4. #4 claims that if there's no proof of A and B simultaneously, it must be for one of two reasons: there are no proofs of A at all, or there are no proofs of B at all.
But that's obviously not true except in extremely limited situations. It's like saying that if a restaurant never serves meat and fish on the same day, it's because it never serves meat or because it never serves fish.
(In contrast, the converse is obviously true: a meatless restaurant certainly never serves meat on the same day as fish. And the inverse: if the restaurant never serves meat, _and_ it never serves fish, then certainly it never serves either meat or fish, and vice versa.)
The symmetry is elegant, but wrong in general.
IL has a similar asymmetry in the duality between ∃ and ∀, of which ∨ and ∧ are special cases.
#SelfHosting week 0, phase 1B: DNS records settings. Performed @_elena 's instructions on her "self hosting for newbies" part 2. Except for the post-install as I run it through terminal and not through web UI. For an ms-dos-born it's easier to perform a simple command such as "yunohost tools postinstall" rather than go to web, then type, then search for the various UI elements. Everything went smooth, except for letsencrypt at first. But in the end it seems to have worked. It got stuck because hostinger panel didn't get one suggested parameter, the numeric 3600, every record has a parameter which is 3, 4 or 5 numbers. Created the domain and subdomain to point it to yunohost admin interface, and then obstacle came. Opening browser to subdomain, just returns "connection timed out". Checked for nginx parameters through yunohost terminal, using the desired Sudo commands. Then, "sudo yunohost diagnosis run" "sudo yunohost diagnosis show --issues --human-readable" and I got explanation on reverse dns which was wrong. After that, I searched on the web (and on AI, I admit) the position on hostinger panel to set them, and I found "set tpr record" placed the desired domain name. And now it's time to wait for propagation. But what about the "connected timeout", in the article posted in blog.elenarossini.com no such obstacle was mentioned. I'm back to my 20s when I spent the night (it's almost 4 in the morning), learning commands. Last but not least, accessibility issue: I'm using an app called WebSSH pro, downloaded on app store. Set it up, and VoiceOver for iOS does not read the keys I press on keyboard so I'm very slow to type commands there. Pc is better. In a few hours I'll try hostinger's terminal. UPDATE: I have just found I set one DNS wrong, now I'll wait for it to propagate. Next update in some hours. I placed a useless number. Such as 72.162 (wrong) instead of 72.62 (right). Like when you start developing on your own and everything crashes due to a missing semicolumn in a string of code.
“The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted and with this enormous promise, the Libyan people now have a great responsibility to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to Gaddafi's dictatorship. (…) . You have won your revolution and now we will be a partner as you forge a future that provides dignity, freedom and opportunity."
The OP in this quoted thread is the essence of what I hate the most about the otherwise great fediverse. Thanks a lot Štěpán for setting the record straight, although it had no effect on the OP (no surprise there). Fuck communism!
Nobody's talking about this because it's not quite true. Nobody criminalises criticising the elites. It criminalises those who "founds, supports, or promotes a Nazi, communist, or other movement which demonstrably aims to suppress human rights and freedoms, or incites racial, ethnic, national, religious or class hatred, or hatred against another group of persons". No metions about critisizing. Class hatred is not criticising.
In Czechia we had a communist regime in years 1948-1989. The communist party made nearly the same evil as nazis did. For example: Just because of different political opinions they executed 248 people, imprisoned 205 000 people (8 000 died there), sent 20 000 people to work camps, and forced 22 000 people to work in technical auxiliary battalions. Another 450 people trying to escape from the country was killed by our own border patrol. This communist party used their power to completely forbid other parties, to suppress religion, to control TV, radio newspapers. They controlled who can or cannot study, publish books, or even sing based on people's political views...
The party who did all this is still operating here, proudly carrying the legacy of all this, honoring all the symbols, adoring soviet mass killers. That's the KSČM party who is now complaining about the new law, trying to shift the narrarative to "criticising the elites".
I wouldn't be so harsh on him. I know that communist ideology is becoming popular in Spain and I don't blame them in any way. The original idea is very tempting. But also very utopist. It's also true that what we see as communism is very different to what is actually promoted in Spain now. But I felt the need to narrow the false narrative in the post. It's forbidding a suppressing ideology, which "communism" in our meaning definately is.
I think #XMPP has a relatively clear and achievable path to drastically reduce the amount of metadata, but I’m increasingly worried that it is not going to move the needle in terms of adoption.
For 99.99% of people, the only relevant feature for an instant messenger is simply 'Are my friends using it?' The other 0.01% are equally divided between people who already use XMPP and don’t mind the metadata, and people who won’t use it anyway.
Very interesting! May I ask, what this "relatively clear and achievable path" is? Does it already have a XEP? Is it implemented by any project? Is there any plan?
• Go roster-less. I seriously considered that for Quicksy. You basically just do it.
• Per device offline queue. With SASL2 the server knows what devices a users has. Discard messages once you know every device has received them.
• Sealed sender. With SASL anonymous and PEP we have some good building blocks for that. Basically just have to come up with semantics of which key pairs go where.
Won't this just move rosters into PEP subscriptions while kicking out the legs of our current anti-spam efforts and breaking all our nice access controls?
( And where's my server dev fun if servers are reduced to dumb pubsub routers? 😢 )
@zash I don't think we'd use PEP subscriptions, but rather encrypted, client-initiated notifications. So whenever I change my encrypted avatar PEP node, I would also send a notification to all the people in my encrypted roster replacement PEP node so they can fetch the updated avatar.
Wouldn't we still have sender JIDs and access controls / spam protection based on this?
@larma @zash And once there is enough passive, encrypted communication (for example receipts and displayed markers) a sender also has more ways to passively learn about new devices of the recipient. OMEMO 0.4+ basically includes a device list which one can then verify through a pull from PEP. Traffic wise that might even be more efficient than a generic +notify.
@zash In fact, we'd probably want to use something like trust messages to have the new client be trusted by an existing client. And the existing client would then notify all contacts about both, the new client existing and the old client trusting it. If we encrypt the roster/avatar/vCard, we need some means for the new client to retrieve the encryption key from the old client anyway - at least in the regular case where you still have such a client.
As someone who tries to get others to use safe chat (vs gmail, FB, etc.), I understand your 99.9% comment. But, I ask people to install Signal or DeltaChat, because XMPP in practice lacks guaranteed e2e encryption (OMEMO fine, but it's not forced on), and I find including photos baffling and/or not secure (alternate upload server, not in-band). These are my two pain points, and that's for someone who has been using XMPP and running a server for 25(?) years.
I think you are 100% correct on your assumption: it won't move the needle at all
But, personally, I fail to see how that's a good reason enough not to follow that path and drastically reduce the amount of metadata as any step on that direction can only bring beneficial results for the whole ecosystem regardless of the impact on the adoption rate.
As a matter of fact, at least 3 of the points you described on your technical details should probably be already implemented.
So far, absolute fuck-all. Kallas urging "restrain" and reminding everyone the EU has repeatedly said Maduro lacks legitimacy (her words). Disappointing, but not surprising.
vainas que la gente no entiende: defender a mi país de la agresión extranjera no significa ser leal a un gobierno local, simplemente significa defender la posibilidad de construir la vida colectiva en nuestro propios términos y no en aquellos que nos quieren imponer
#CzechRepublic criminalises criticising the #elites 😵 Starting on 1st January this year, you can go to prison in #Czechia if you incite "class hatred" or make #propaganda of "#communism / "#communist movement", as if it was the same as #nazi propaganda. This is effectively an indirect way to normalise #fascism... And to criminalise criticising the elites! And nobody's talking about this!!! european-left.org/czech-law-cr…

@stepan with that reasoning, you should also forbid all capitalist propaganda, for all the people who died or were/are imprisoned under several capitalist dictatorships around the world. Communism is a liberation ideology, misused by authoritarians in several countries, as was the case of Czechia. We actually never had a communist regime anywhere in the world. Forbidding an ideology that is openly critical of the elites is the same thing as forbidding the critic itself, and a very dangerous step
Words are constantly shifting their meaning based on experience. Here communism means a totalitarian regime we all experienced and suffered under, because the suppressing party named themselves as communist party and because the ideology served well to destroy lives.
You can argument the same about national socialism (nazism in short), that the ideology was just missused. Yet you don't mind forbidding it as you understand the evil behind it from the experience.
@stepan nazism was never a liberation ideology. It has always been based in nationalism, tribalism, hatred of everything that is different and foreign. An absolute opposite to communism. You write like someone who never read anything of both. Please make sure to study a bit about them before making such public declarations.
You on the other hand speak like someone blinded with one ideology and ignoring many similar aspects with other ideologies. But in fact both leading to the same evil as I was trying to show you on our experience. When I poke into your arguments you immediately start to throw arrogant personal attacks. I am ending it here as it is not discussion anymore, its becoming a fight.
Das Problem hatte ich mit #Hugo auch, als ich damit mal ein Projekt erstellen wollte. Das Problem, dass die Hersteller solcher statischen Site Generatoren keine Dokus schreiben können, hat z. B. Eleventy auch. Da geht das auch nur mit Tutorials von Dritten, dass man überhaupt mal was versteht. Einen Einstieg findet.
Versuche mich gerade ein wenig mit #Hugo vertraut zu machen.
Die Doku ist für mich gewöhnungsbedürftig. Da werden einem nur alle möglichen Einstellungen um die Ohren gehauen, bei denen ich mir frage, was die von mir wollen.

"Hey ChatGPT, I want a new TV. I heard that LG TVs are good. Which LG TV is the best?"
"Good choice! You are absolutely right that LG TVs are a popular choice. But have you heard about [brand] TVs? [brand] TVs are [advertisement here]. Do you want me to show you where you can get a good deal on the [brand] XY-1234?"
This is the future.
ChatGPT will soon generate answers that have advertisements woven into them. What ChatGPT will tell you will be influenced by which company paid OpenAI the most.
I wonder how many people won't be bothered by that at all and continue to use ChatGPT, just as many people (boomers mostly) aren't bothered by advertisement breaks when watching cable TV and continue to find excuses for using the product.
OpenAI is still struggling to make profits off of this crappy technology. And that after announcing an "erotic chat mode", making ChatGPT "more horny". In a last effort to prevent the AI bubble from inevitably bursting, OpenAI is turning to the only reliable profit model they know: enshittifying products with ads. The LLM technology is a dying techology, similar to how nobody hears of 2021's NFTs anymore. Maybe the AI bubble won't burst in 2026 just yet, if enough naive people keep using ChatGPT so that the new ad revenue can keep OpenAI afloat for a little while longer. But the bubble will burst. Businesses betting on this technology, in 2026, isn't an intelligent move, to say the least. If your employer is fully committed to the AI hype, consider looking for a new job … while you still receive a salary and can take the job search more casually.

Schlager-Sänger G. G. Anderson hat tatsächlich gesungen, und jetzt kurz festhalten, "Nein heißt ja Wenn man lächelt so wie Du Warum willst Du Deinem Herz nicht trau'n". Oha, oha.
Sehr viele Schlager der 50er bis 80er Jahre, vermutlich auch noch viele der 90er, sind ganz, ganz schlecht gealtert, was deren Texte angeht. Und seine gehören definitiv ganz mächtig dazu.
Liebe user die ihr euer Zelt bei Mastodon,social aufgeschlagen habt.
Bitte verteilt euch und nutzt andere Instanz und macht nicht den Fehler und baut diese eine Instanz zu einem Gatekeeper auf, allein wegen der schieren Masse an user.
Wenn ihr dazu hilfe braucht, meldet euch bitte.
Denn e gibt im #Fediverse die Möglichkeit, das ihr umziehen könnt 👍
Entspricht aber leider bis heute in vielen Gesellschaften der Realität. Zum einen sind viele Heiraten immer noch politisch motiviert, strategische Verpartnerungen zur Mehrung des Reichtums, und andere, meist erste, heiraten sind rein genetisch-fortpflanzig motiviert, welches Genmaterial die widerstandsfähigsten Kinder produziert. Ich glaube deshalb halten viele erste Ehen auch nicht, weil nach dem Kinderkriegen die Basis fehlt. Erst die nächste Heirat ist dann i.d.r. aus Liebe.
How am I spending my saturday night? Applying for jobs, because work is good and I really don't want to stop working when I finish my program in February.
Danke übrigens, dass du immer so gute Bildbeschreibungen lieferst! Im Gegensatz zu den immer häufiger werdenden KI generierten, die man sonst so lesen muss, sind deine richtig angenehm und nehmen ein Stück in den Moment mit.
@WestphalDenn Gerne ❤️ Mir ist das ins Blut übergegangen, meine Bilder zu beschreiben, so gut ich kann, das gehört zum Erstellen eines Toots einfach dazu. Ich find KI außerdem aus tausend Gründen meh und möchte keine nutzen, wenn's nicht sein muss. Durch den Zusatz "künstlich" ist noch nix je besser geworden. Und hier ist es so unnötig wie es nur sein kann. Ich bin gesundheitlich nicht eingeschränkt in einer Weise, die mir das Erstellen einer Bildbeschreibung unmöglich macht, also mach ich eine.
Es wäre schön, wenn Hamburg und Bewohner*innen bis Montag mit Schneeräumen und Streuen anfangen würden. Als blinder Mensch nicht fühlen zu können, ob man sich gerade auf dem Gehweg, der Grünfläche oder der Straße befindet, macht die eigenständige Orientierung teils unmöglich.
I certainly hope the EU can put the same sanctions on the US for attacking Venezuela as they did on Russia for attacking Ukraine. This is indefensible.
Los ataques se han reportado cerca de objetivos militares y aeropuertos. Según CBS, la Casa Blanca está al tanto, pero no hay confirmación oficial. El Gobierno de Maduro llama a la “lucha armada” ante la “agresión imperialista”

Hello internet, I've been lurking for a while but let's try an #introduction.
I'm a recovering tumblr girlie (does fandom exist on mastodon? for better or worse?) who likes #reading, #knitting, and cross-country #skiing as soon as there's enough snow here the #PNW.
I believe in tech that helps build a more liberatory future and want to know what abolitionist, anit-authoritarian #datascience might look like.

Mysterious emails from a woman named Donna Triply: For years, I was amused to receive emails from Donna. I often wondered who she was. These seemingly random emails would come from her under various circumstances. After probably 15 years after sending my first email, I figured out who this fabled woman was. Before I tell you, I have to say that my bestie and I had a huge laugh about this Donna person this morning over coffee. My friend also wondered who this person could be. She did know some Donna's, but the last names didn't match. Then, the light bulb went on for her as it did for me. This email header started with DoNotReply which, for a screen-reader user sounds like Donna Triply. So, the infamous woman has come to light and we now know who she is, visiting us from the auto-responder universe!
