@ednico

Thank you for the summary, without it it would be impossible to keep up with all the stuff.

But have you heard #Logseq wants to move away from AGPL licence? But what worries the most is that they are doing it without understanding it and perhaps manipulated by Google employees:

@admitsWrongIfProven the issue you are talking about though isnt "bad people being seen causes bad people"... what you are describing is engineering the information in its totality or near totality. Controlling the narrative, preventing the ability to get accurate information. Thats a different problem but we agree is problematic.

@admitsWrongIfProven You havent actually made the case that being exposed to ideas can do harm. Your example is a bad idea, sure, but you havent made the case that it was exposure to the idea that is the cause rather than the predisposition of the people to draw such conclusions on their own. It is very likely such ideas would largely have developed independently of exposure.

The idea that bad people having a voice on social media causes other people to become bad people (often the argument as to why we must defederate from bad servers) is equivalent to:

Thinking violent video games cause people to become violent.

Thinking explicit song lyrics cause people to become criminals

Allowing people to be openly homosexual will cause others to become homosexual

Banning books

I discover the term "fauxpen source" for software claiming to be open source but lying.

@liampomfret You and/or the linked @wired “journalist” could have researched a bit.
The founders of telegram fled Russia in 2014, after having had to hand over their “VK” network (a successful Facebook like social network).
Telegram is situated in virgins islands & operates from Dubai.

Telegram does not encrypt messages per default…you have to create “secure chats”. All other communication is plain text.

But hey - of course, as Russians, they are all evil per se, right?

EU chat control law will ban open source operating systems

>The proposed Chat control EU law will not only seize totalitarian control of all private communication. It will also ban open source operating systems as an unintended consequence.

Hilarious to see the US media getting all chest thumpy and how-dare-they over the supposed Chinese high altitude spy balloon when for decades the US has sought to do nothing more than flat-bed scan the entire planet.

I mean this is the launch patch of one of the top secret NROL programs, launched under Obama

Seems like @Mkbhd is not the person we think he is.

Verification via the simple website change is so easy and useful.

Wow 😯 nice new and shiny website of #Logseq.
If you like taking notes, doing braindumps and structure knowledge, #pkm, give it a try. Highly recommended. OpenSource, markdown plaintext.

Btw. this time no cat pic. They also deserve some #privacy.

@futurebird Twitter is closing their API fully unless you pay for access, with a one week deadline. This means all the Twitter-to-Mastodon migration tools will stop working.

3. Therefore we should defer all moral considerations to the state

“It’s quite scary,” physicist and information theorist, Melvin Vopson, replied to me when I asked him what he thought about the current growth of data. Data growth is out of control and leaping ahead at an annual rate of more than 25%. Based on my calculations, if we continue this growth rate, by 2053 we will be mining a Mount Everest worth of materials (175 billion tons) every year just to build the servers to store all this data on.
