China is bad, because they too are a colonialism and imperialistic nation.
Just like the US and Russia.

Zulip.

Ircv3 has reactions, and threads. Along with some other features, like persistent condos.
Voice and screen sharing can be implemented via external services.

For a training set. Natural, and familiar conversations.

Depends.
On your property, using your voice? Sure.
At 2:30am, you yelling it 20ft from your neighbor’s house? Probably nor, mainly as it disturbs other people’s normal use of their home.
On someone else’s property? Depends on if they allow it.
In public, in the commons? Sure, as long as people are allowed to ignore you.

Not sure about other alphabets.

- Comment on Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms 1 week ago:
Any public facing IT system stood up in the higher ed system I am familiar with, requires IT support to be engaged. A part of that process is sending the request through a software review board, department’s IT, centralized IT, and then assigned to a project manager.
Otherwise, it would be considered a rogue service, and turned off at the edge, and core routers.
- Comment on I love the future. 1 week ago:
Hopefully, someone adds a touch or arsenic to these pills.
- Comment on Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms 1 week ago:
Using social media is far removed from operating your own publicly available social media server.
This coming from someone who is trying to get most mastodon usage in higher ed. Profs aren’t the ones who operate these things.
- Comment on Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms 1 week ago:
Most scientists aren’t allowed to do stuff like that, or purely just don’t have the time.
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 2 weeks ago:
Nothing like the very highly reliable pharmaceutical “science” done in the US, amirite?
Its not like we ever had “science” come from the US that said an extremely powerful opioid wasn’t addictive, amirite?
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 2 weeks ago:
I suppose we’ll need to worry about that, once we get a net positive output from a fusion reactor.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 2 weeks ago:
Well, the good news? A wider audience most certainly means a FLOSS suite that can parse the data from it. It doesn’t seem very opaque, but more like Markup++.
- Comment on You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica. 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it is probably the oldest or second oldest server suite in the fediverse (diaspora is maybe older).
It was an early supporter of statusnet and pump.io, which are the earlier versions of ActivityPub.
It originally used it’s own protocol to talk to other friendica instances, but a lot of plug-ins came out adding support for everything, even Facebook support for a while.

B Type corps have a fair number of investors, looking to invest. A lot of investors look for socially conscious investments.
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 3 weeks ago:
chatgpt is still useful for things as long as you dont put too much trust in it.
Yep, its very useful for generating buzzword salad, so I use it for cover letters for job postings.
- Comment on Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps 3 weeks ago:
Yes, based on nationalist reasons, to chnage facts to suit governments.
This is no different to google kowtowing to China’s imagined borders.
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 3 weeks ago:
Chatgpt is also censored.
- Comment on Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps 3 weeks ago:
Changing facts to suit a nationalist and fascist state, purely for jingoism, is appeasement.
- Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe 3 weeks ago:
That’s how you win asymmetric warfare.
- Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe 3 weeks ago:
I am, because this government has decided the US constitution just doesn’t matter, and now, we have literal nazis running the government.
I stand by my people, not the government oppressing them.

- Comment on Twitterrific team launches new ‘Tapestry’ iPhone app for Bluesky, Mastodon, RSS, more 4 weeks ago:
Think of “Google News”, but for social media and RSS… Or Google Reader for all of those.
The point isn’t to be able to comment and whatnot, but to get all the things you want updates on, in a single pane of glass, so to speak.
