We all remember Duck Hunt on the NES, but what if I told you that it was now available for the Commodore 64?! It even has light gun support!

So #Santa, if you’re out there on #mastadon. Don’t you dare!

This is a decent and approachable 9 page overview on the challenges of content moderation. I commend it to all those who are working on #MastodonMigration issues.

My concern with this article is that while it mentions issues of race and culture, it treats them as a technical challenge instead of the fundamental issue that it is. The concern I want to raise it the inability of most content moderation systems to differentiate between what the paper terms bad-actors and people who have different cultural communication norms. Hate speech and harassment are most typically defined in the context of white "polite society" culture which ends up excluding BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other oppressed groups ability to express themselves.

Another one of my favourite programs on the Commodore Amiga was of course Deluxe Paint - I already had lots of fun with several painting and drawing programs on the Commodore 64, but Deluxe Paint III was just superior and very easy and fun to use. I was lucky to get an original boxed version in late 1990! #retrocomputing #vintage #vintagecomputer #commodore #amiga #workbench #amigados #16bit #deluxepaint #dpaint

Here's an old #C64 Christmas demo we made way back in 2012. Three Christmas tunes to get you in the mood, and if you're not ready for Christmas just yet, track four is Ocean Loader 5. Have fun!🎅 Download here https://csdb.dk/release/?id=113945

Since I'm trying to phase out tagging everyone individually, as it feels a bit scammy, but everyone asked to be kept in the loop... so here are some alternate "official" ways the conversation should continue:

1) On the official Gitlab repository, which is where all voting and formal discussions will take place

https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution

2) The group found here for mastodon discussions (just tag them instead of everyone): @ufoi

3) On matrix chat. #UFoI:matrix.org

And of sourse you are all welcome to contact me directly. I am very excited how there is so much talk about it and it hasnt even been released for 24 hours yet!

There are 2 ways to sign up to the United Federation of Instances, for those wondering.

We have over 200,000 members but looking for more before launch.

One, and the most important, is as an instance admin bringing your instance onto the UFoI. For this you dont need to do anything other than ensure you follow our basic code of conduct. See the proposal/by laws for that:

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf

https://ufoi.gitlab.io/constitution/united_federation_of_instances_bylaws.pdf

Other than that you dont have to do anything to be a member, and you can be a one person instance or a large instance. You do need to promise to federate with other instances in the UFoI. Also you can leave at any time, no questions asked, so not much obligation.

The other is as an individual.. for that just let me know and ill give you access to everything and add you to the list of contributors. In this case you arent under any obligation either, you can join in on conversationsn, suggest edits, or just lurk. Up to you. Message me if you want to be a contributor and ill add you and check out the repo here:

https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution

Any questions first feel free to ask me.

My old Sinclair computers kept moving around and getting dinged on office shelves. So I’ve now decided they are art. They are currently on a desk for a month, just in case the 3M strips don’t hold. #retrogaming #ZXSpectrum
