that is to say, I'm a cis admin

@thomasfuchs Just because you haven’t found a use for it (and like me get inundated with bullshit crypto scams) doesn’t mean it isn’t being used in productive ways. They just aren’t very sexy or meme-able.
If ever there was a reason to make #OpenHardware, #FOSS and #standards mandatory in certain cases:

[…] There's no ethical case for permanently attaching computers to people's nervous systems without giving them the absolute, irrevocable right to nominate who maintains those computers and how.”_

This is (again) mind-blowing:
Spawn a virtual #EliezerYudkowsky inside #ChatGPT who acts as a firewall filtering malicious prompts for ChatGPT itself, then test it trying to circumvent normal precautions by wrapping/disguising malicious prompts as narration, shell commands and the like (and it seems to work fine).

📢 ATTN open source maintainers! My employer, Snyk, is re running an event in February called the Big Fix. It’s a month-long virtual thing where we try to put the focus on securing OSS, promoting good security practices and generally “fixing the Internet”. You can get a feel for it from what we did last year.: https://snyk.io/events/the-big-fix/ We are looking for OSS maintainers who can join our livestream on the 28th who can share share their security journey. Ping me here if you're interested!

if your national team did poorly in the #WorldCup and you're puzzled and looking for an explanation, consider that it might be that YOUR NATIONAL TEAM ISN'T AS GOOD AS YOU THINK.

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.
For more information on ways to connect see this post:
I got so used to listening to #podcasts at 1.5× the speed, and occasionally 2× (except for [Rob Wiblin](https://80000hours.org/podcast/) and [Tyler Cowen](https://conversationswithtyler.com/)!) that when I play a segment at normal speed for whatever reason I'm amazed that people usually speak

# United Federation of Instances Proposal
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution
I tagged below everyone who asked me to tag them. I have now started a gitlab group and project where we can discuss the #UFoI proposal transparently and with a good recorded history.
Please start discussions by creating issues, and any edits you have to the proposal please edit on gitlab and submit as a merge request, which can then be discussed.
I will write the CI code to make sure the document gets compiled.
I will try to leave the mass-message like here just to the major developments as it feels a bit spammy. I will only send out one more notification once the by laws draft is up. Of course if anyone does not want to get notified let me know and ill leave you off from future discussions.
