- Comment on Fediverse Report 136 - This week's fediverse news 1 day ago:
Michael Foster describes how news organisations do not gel well with the original approach of either Mastodon servers or the channel.org communities. The finding of Newsmast is that this is too confusing and tech-centric for news organisations to really grasp. Instead, Newsmast is now going in the direction of apps, as “independent news publishers and campaigning organisations love the idea of having an app.”
Fuck, that is depressing. I mean, I really hope that this works for Newsmast but if people running a news organisation can’t wrap their head around the fediverse, I’m not sure I’ll trust tem with news … I don’t know. I can’t even understand what’s supposed to be complicated.

And (probably) for his friends who happen to just have the tech handy to realise this project and weirdly get the tender for it. Oh he works at that place now that he’s done woth being a politician? Nothing wrong with that!
- Comment on [WT!] Milky Subway : The Galaxy Limited Express 1 week ago:
I had the same feelings about the prequel (Milky Highway) but enjoyed this (especially the story, even though it is not mind-blowing it is a nice arc) a lot more in the series.

- Comment on Norwich man told to stay away from flags after mural clash 1 week ago:
This is kinda wholesome? I would have thought the police / authorities would go all like “Its just a flag, nothing wrong with that” and act(?) completely blind on the circumstances of the cituation.
- Comment on Heather Stewart: Labour cosies up to US tech firms with little thought of downsides 1 week ago:
I mean labour and little thoughts seems very fitting to what I generally hear about them so no surprise there.
- Comment on Anyway I started blasting 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that seems like the most standard configuration two people can be arranged (unless: someone giving a talk - about farting? - turning to the projection while the other listens?)
- Comment on PSA: In case you were experiencing problems with feddit.org, this is because a post from feddit reached the front page of Hacker News. 2 weeks ago:
I have no idea how to get my app to open the original article ( feddit.org/post/18353777 ) so I’ll just mention here that I installed PostmarkedOS on my ancient Wileyfox Swift a few days ago.
And while it was very exciting this particular setup was barely usable. I tried all the UI / DE options but only Phosh and KDE recognized touch inputs (so I could not do anything on Gnome and SXMO or whatever it is called). Phosh had some very weird problems with the onscreen keyboard and flickering menus and KDE had amazing graphical glitches (it really was quite something, I wish I had taken photos with another camera now) and sleep wasn’t working even after the fixes from the wiki. I really wanna check it out on mever hardware at some point through, I think it’s a really cool project:

Well, just keep pumping in the billions until the bubble bursts and we can look for the next fad, to do it all over again, right?

Stealing was always a crime only for the poor, the rich have been doing it for centuries. It’s only even more blatant in this case.

It’s more secure than not using one (if it’s open source and offline), so just do it.

Oh, I didn’t know that. Models were people have actually actively consented to their data being used for it (not “Wikipedia is CC so it’s fine”)?

No, the AI megacorps only steal and then make you pay to use their illegal and unethical services. How naive is this?
