Whenever I click a news article and it’s a video I’m like, “ok! guess I won’t be learning about that current event!!”

Remember that in the end the wokes defeated the evil empire.

(Sorry, that's a typo... I meant to say "ewoks".)

Do you know why you won't find any mention anywhere on the W3C website of #web3? It does not exist. BOOM! There is one web.

There are entire pages of JS code that could be reduced to a single CSS rule. And the CSS performs and feels better when users see it.

Being an expert in modern CSS should be a requirement to even touch JavaScript. No excuses.

The most horrifying word you will ever read in a bug report is "sometimes".

I think we need a robots.txt entry that allows or disallows #AI from being trained on your content.

El modelo de las Big Four es una amenaza para la salud física y mental de sus trabajadores. A estas compañías se las conoce en el mundillo con el nombre de “cárnicas” por tratar a sus trabajadores de base como carne o ganado.

@filippo I think it's obvious and that question is disingenuous.

Consent for human followers who were allowed to follow and not blocked to read your posts does not imply consent for rando projects/orgs to store and process your posts in bulk with those of millions of other users for random other purposes.

I am quite disgusted by the the use of the term Web3.

No the Web does not need more Crypto and Blockchain. We need to rid the Web of Crypto and Blockchain.

Some say that data is the new oil. I guess that may be true, if you consider that oil usage is destroying the planet.

Some think that what we need is more companies spying on their customers and sharing that data with each other. IMHO, what we need is the opposite. We need to ban this destructive business model.

Some even think that the problem is that we are not getting our fair share. Basically that we are not getting our share of the loot. The problem is the looting, not how it is divided.

@thomaswilburn Oh, you know exactly how this will play out.

Google's search teams will build AI text and image tools into the search engine.

The Google Assistant teams will incorporate their own AI creation solution.

Clearly, the Android team will say, this is a mobile computing issue, so there'll be an Android app. Preinstalled and separate to the assistant AI and the search AI.

No, the Chrome/ChromeOS folks will say, this really needs to be baked into the browser.

The Google Workspace folk will create an enterprise app for it. Separately, AI writing will be built into Google Docs.

Three separate messaging teams will say it's a chat problem, and clearly what Google needs is a new chat app (or four) to solve it.

YouTube and Google Photos will see this as a video/photo problem, and will incorporate AI creation tools.

Google Cloud will create a cloud-based solution for third-party developers.

None of these tools will be interoperable. Different APIs. Most will be quietly closed within 12 months without warning.

Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.

Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts .. to process less than 7 transactions per second :

Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.

This could be joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dolllars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

Okay, we know... We made fun of Adobe when its cloud service went down. We've made fun of Corel Painter and Clip Studio. We joined in the protest No AI Generated Images protest. We made our stance on NFT's clear. But this is beyond making fun of. This is EW! EW! EW!

Universal mask wearing is not a lockdown. It’s the opposite: Mask mandates make society accessible to many more people, especially those at higher risk.

Twitter was a shithole before Elon Musk. Twitter is a shithole during Elon Musk. And Twitter will be shithole after Elon Musk.

The goal of the fediverse has not been (nor should it be) to recreate some version or other of a shithole.

It can be (and is) so much more.

Some instances allow quote posting, like Qoto.org.

There are many features that are server or even software (Mastodon is not the only one) dependent in the Fediverse. Some servers allow posts as long as 65,535 characters, for example.

Journalists will never stick around this app long term sadly unless it adds quote posting. We desperately need it to communicate effectively, build...

I see some AI people trying to justify the use of copyrighted images without explicit consent by copyright owner. I think these people should read a bit about IP law before making any claim. A nice start here: s that copyright images cannot be used without consent from copyright holder. Saying otherwise is a lie. I suggest you read a bit about IP law before disseminating false claims. A nice summary copyrightlaws.com/legally-usin

TL;DR One cannot use a copyrighted image without consent. Period.
