@design_RG @globcoco Hmm, yeah, figured that's what he's up to sometimes. Guess everyone's gotta get their kicks somehow 😉

@grainloom bit of a nutter
@izaya as someone who works on a system that makes *extensive* use of symlinks, I'd say that's no virgin, but a lewd and perverse OS
Heard about this effort[1] recently to compile a subset of popular melodies. Doesn't the striking of the "sweat of the brow test"[2] make the effort kind-of pointless?

Yes, bias in machine learning is a problem, but the problem with equipping cops with facial recognition isn't that FR struggles with Black faces - it's that cops shouldn't be using FR, even (especially) if it works well on Black people.

@Sphinx but that's the thing: they're already super!
(also great pest control)
@polychrome all of Genius Party Beyond is pretty dope.
@clacke If you think of things along that lines, then don't we already have AGI in the form of corporations or societies? Then your reframing is just meant to appeal to folks who care abt AI risk but ignore immediate social ills, specifically in externalities of capitalist economies? Talk about narrow-casting 😉

@pureevil VIM can handle that just fine 😏
@sean While I dont personally promote blocking at the instance level I do respect instances that do.
I think if you are blocking instances GAB obviously makes a lot of sense with even a 15 second look at their timeline.
The reason I dont personally block any instances is largely because of what happened when we were tried to decide this during the birth of Isolate GAB movement, we almost did block GAB and others.
Our LGBT community at the time came together an en masse begged me not to, which I found odd at first but their reasoning made a lot of sense. They want a way to be able to monitor high-risk GAB accounts for threats against their community. Mostly doxxing of members in their community which the disseminate among each other. Obviously they didnt feel safe simply opening a GAB account because that would expose their personal details to GAB and they didnt want that.
Later we even implemented the subscription feature for a similar reason. This way our users can subscribe to a GAB user without actually following them as a further mechanism of safety.
It really saddens me though that choice I made specifically in the interest of protecting our LGBT community from harm has brought us some hate from the community and even blocks ourselves.
To me that is a price I am happy to pay to protect those individuals though.
Overall it has made me think about fediblocks in a very different way too.
@freemo do you have an perspective on a Mastodon auto-delete feature? (https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/875)
A 9$ computer that runs linux, hand held, full qwerty keyboard, and a touch screen... I think I need to get this!
