Mosquitoes probably don't think your blood's "sweet," but they might like your stink.

@flodebarre @gmusser it's a matter of finding the right features. For example, I recently found out that my server supports this: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/d

@ClaraListensprechen4 @khird @freemo I also follow Japanese who post about visual illusions, but am more into conversations than into images. But I also agree with the idea behind your comment regarding translation. The world is such an amazing place, better than fiction, I'd even say

@ClaraListensprechen4 @khird @freemo well, I imagine you wouldn't subscribe to servers in languages you don't understand. At least I hope you won't ;)

@dmoser why would anyone consider comparative studies necessary at all? Comparison with what? Currently there are no viable large-scale storage options, would be curious if anyone can suggest otherwise

@dmoser no word about the balancing effect on electricity markets whose importance will grow hugely with the fact that the time of production of growing renewables is uncontrollable. Current alternatives like pumped water and batteries can't scale well

@ClaraListensprechen4 @khird @freemo I've just recently discovered how useful the federated tab is. Anyone aware of developments to apply user-selected filters on it? I'd be interested to help out with developing that, as I think it's a current weakness of the fediverse.

@chrisamaphone @andresmh isn't this well regulated by GDPR (and similar national privacy laws) already?

Aggregated data, as long as privacy-preserving, is ok. Would be interesting to see instances that decide to systematically share the one they produce. This would need to be scrutinised carefully.

Individual data is subject to dedicated consent per each study, and this is no different from commercial social networks. Notice that quotes, even if claimed to be anonymised, are traceable to their authors by search, so not anonymous.

@leyrer @mdolan let's focus on the substance. The three concerns sound valid to me. The third concerns corporate contributions to FOSS, and these are very important to continue.

GitHub calls for #FOSS ecosystem to send comments ASAP to MEPs in the EU regarding issues with CRA proposal that will be voted on next week.

The Faculty of Humanities of Utrecht University is looking for a new colleague specializing in computational methods and/or digital methods for media and culture studies.

Integrating a chatbot w no connection to truth into search, a service people use to learn new info, is a wretchedly bad call that will likely have serious consequences.

IMO we'll look back at this moment with the same cringe we now reserve for NFTs.

Which is not to say "AI" and NFTs are analogous. But the religious fervor and willingness to say any old ungrounded thing in service of hyping this tech is drawing from the same Web3 well.
