Reupping this part of the #receptiogate because while not important to the main story it is one hell of a ride!

Anyone who reads Reinhart Koselleck’s texts in German will be aware of two striking features in the ways he uses language: first, a frequent recourse to certain metaphorical expressions, and second, an extensive use of a limited number of rather peculiar words, or, contrariwise, of familiar words in an idiosyncratic way.

At ➡ Geschichtstheorie am Werk, Willibald Steinmetz applies historical semantics to one of its founders:

Another solicitation for assistance from the #Mastadon-ian side of the #Fediverse:

There's got to be such a beast, surely?

We’re all prompt engineers for humans when we communicate with each other

Think about it the next time you talk to someone, particularly a stranger. How you start, how you craft your “input” (including body language, expression) will affect the “output” from the person 😁

It's really hard to tell which of these wickedly tough challenges will be solved first: AGI, people living on another planet, or getting OSX to remember which fucking screen a window was on when it wakes back up.

Say Hello to Ivory. We are now available to all on Apple’s App Store! We have launched as “Early Access” because we still have a lot of exciting plans ahead of that will make Ivory even better. Go download it, try it free for 7 days, and experience it for yourself!

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ivory-for-mastodon-by-tapbots/id6444602274

Ivory is on the App Store now - highly recommended. I’ve been on the beta for a while now, and subscribed immediately.

At some point on some day/time yet to be determined, but after we do it here, we'll be announcing the availability of @ivory on our Twitter company accounts.

As part of this it'd be nice if we could include some suggested general interest instances that could handle a large (hopefully thousands) influx of users.

Any instance owners interested in this? We have links to https://joinmastodon.org/servers and https://instances.social in the onboarding.

But adding a few instances in the Tweet would be cool.
