For ME, good software should be SO good and hardened that I do NOT need frequent updates, but only in extremely exceptional cases!
Further developments, on the other hand, do not need to be handed over to ME on a monthly basis.

And yes I know there are LTS versions. In my eyes this should be the normal update cycle and there could even be a "VeryLTS" additionally.

Lors de ma dernière insomnie, hier donc, j’ai découvert « Everything Everywhere All at Once » et j’ai réalisé que si j’avais des amis, on m’aurait déjà parlé de ce film tellement c’est le meilleur film d’action + science-fiction + comédie + familial qui soit. (Un créneau jusque-là réservé à Dead Pool, donc.)
Il est dispo en replay sur FranceTV, VO et VF. Je recommande vivement.
I did that with paperbacks because there was no digital proof. That Amazon lock them behind DRM should be the criminal thing!
And not just China, I like to watch people reading Reddit stories on YT when doing chores, and "redrum" (murder), "grape" (rape) and "spicy time" (sex) are words these people have to use to avoid drawing the ire of the allmighty algorithms.
For now that's just "simple" keyword and voice / face recognition. As tech progresses and models get smaller, it'll become a lot more pernicious.
I think a "no more discussions of copyright infringement and vaccine conspiracy theories on the internet" law (that actually works) is something we will get in the next 20-ish years in at least one major country.
Spent this morning in court in support of folks being evicted from a local "co-op". The management company's agent was so disorganized she didn't know how much one of the tenants owed, slashing the amount in half right at the bench when she realized the numbers she was given didn't add up. She also, apparently, accidentally dismissed one of her own evictions and was surprised to learn that it wasn't on the docket. Management dismissed something like 6 of the 9 cases when they apparently realized their evidence wouldn't hold up, and this one case got caught up in that wave, presumably by accident/incompetence.
The whole thing is fucking awful, and the ways co-ops fail marginalized folks again and again while patting themselves on the backs need to be addressed.
Meanwhile, the case before those was a crypto bro who couldn't pay his rent because his company's investment in a mining operation fell through, and he wanted to pay rent in equity/work for his apartment complex as a "financial engineer," putting their assets on the blockchain.
I'm thinking a lot more seriously about a career change after this. The world is burning. It doesn't need more big tech in it.
🏠 Stěhování je vždy těžké a postihlo to také web infoek.cz.
🔄V současné době dochází k přesunu na nový server. Několik hodin nebudou publikovány nové příspěvky, web bude zcela nedostupný, bude docházet k problémům s načítáním obrázků a mohou nastat i další potíže....
🚀Brzy bude infoek.cz mít nový domov, aby mohl nadále růst.
Děkuji za pochopení,

Tbh I hate everything about this and it makes me want to run far, far away from AP and never look back:
ATP or just doing a ground-up version of my own protocol becomes more and more tempting by the day. Which leaves me sad, but here we are.

@alecaddd Just watched your awesome Customizable Shortcuts video series. Where do you intend for the shortcuts editor window to be? In the general preferences/settings tab?
Also, if you ever implement a HUD, then please make `?` the shortcut to bring that up. Youtube has a good implementation that you can refer. (Press ? while watching a video)
Yes, I'm aiming at implementing a HUD and using the `?` key to trigger it

Con mucho esfuerzo en la calle y en las instituciones hemos conseguido desbloquear la ILP #RegularizacionYa pese a los intentos de la derecha.
✳️ Enhorabuena al movimiento por llegar hasta aquí. Ahora lo que toca es seguir apretando en las calles para ganarlo.
#TrinidadYTobago🇹🇹 anuncia que retirará las tres carabelas de Colón (que “descubrió” las islas en su tercer viaje) de su escudo de armas y las reemplazará por el instrumento musical nacional, el ‘steelpan’.
El ‘steelpan’ es a su vez una apropiación de un símbolo imperialista: los trinidadeños descubrieron que si martilleabas un barril de petróleo (traído por las multinacionales estadounidenses para llevarse el oro negro del país) podías afinarlo
In the September Community Office Hours, we chatted with the voice of our community - the Thunderbird Council! @dannycolin and @clokep, two current council members, talk about the council's origins, its responsibilities, and how to get involved.
Most of the energy debate is focused on the tip of the iceberg - electricity.
But almost 80% of our energy use is for heat and transport relying heavily on fossil fuels.
Decarbonisation requires an all-sector approach.

People are gonna be sitting there praying for GDPR to save them, praying for blocklists to save them, praying to false gods when the reality is everyone with a shred of fucking sense in this space has been screaming this is a major fucking problem and the Fediverse's model is very much one which is friendly to companies like Meta and Automatic.
Maybe they'll get a GDPR fine. But given the way Fedi works, they've got a strong defense.
Syndication of all posts to local servers? Like literally just copying them?
Brilliant fucking idea lads. Truly the work of geniuses. Truly a platform which will respect your privacy.

People will get upset for me saying this part but the only way, the ONLY way, to ensure privacy on Fedi, is to put an end to syndication of post content. It should be a URI with access control. It should not ever be fucking content. Content should just not be fucking syndicated EVER.
"But the load on servers"
You know what? A fediverse database has unbounded growth due to its model, and will grow with the number of instances. The average growth is n * m, where m is the average number of messages per server over a chosen interval, and n is the number of instances. For 1000 instances with 100 messages a day average (this is averaging out huge instances like m.s), that's 100k of messages PER DAY.
It's utter madness!
For something like threads they can become too big to block and they can definitely use other methods at their disposal to get your data. Like literally buying instances quietly or just setting up ones and astroturfing.
I don't know why people thought Meta or Automattic WOULDN'T want to come to Fedi. Wishful thinking? Or maybe just... more people don't know how Fedi works.

"but if their instance goes down their posts go too"
YES THAT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A FUCKING THING THAT IS NOT A BUG THAT IS A FEATURE
THAT IS LITERALLY CALLED "RESPECTING PRIVACY"
IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TAKE DOWN THEIR CONTENT THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED

in reply to Tilde Lowengrimm • • •user-initiated post migration is something that certain instances support (some of the *keys), and I look forward to seeing it on more instances. data exports also exist but data imports don’t seem common.
