"By some estimates, Google stores an additional 15 petabytes of data every day. If 15 petabyte doesn’t sound like much, understand that 1 petabyte is equivalent to:

- 500 billion pages of standard printed text
- or 200 million 5mb photos
- or 13.3 years worth of HD video content

The data they collect from Chrome takes the form of a “digital fingerprint”. This is user data that can identify and target the individual habits of a Chrome user"

I messed up.

My toot comparing Web Monetization to was insensitive and missed the point entirely.

Mutual aid is about community care and survival, and I spoke from a place of privilege without thinking about people who are actually struggling to get by.

I'm truly sorry.

Drop your mutual aid links below, I want to put my money where my mouth should have been. ❤️

I think the @BoxyBSD project is one of the best ideas for the community. Providing real and completely free instances () with is really great for testing and learning.

I really love this project and if you are into or any other this might be interesting for you. Just as it is also a alternative to bigger hostels like or . I really love the philosophy and idea behind it

あと多分、日本共産党はIT系苦手なイメージ持たれていると思うけど、ウェブサイトの端々に割と長いこと取り組んでいたりする証拠があって、例えば終了したソーシャルブックマーク対応ボタンが古い記事に残っていたりする。

実際、AIについても『AI(人工知能)の活用の大前提は、個人情報を保護し、安心と信頼を確保することです。』と超真っ当。

これチームみらいと比較すると真っ当さのレベルが違いすぎてくらくらするよね。ハンドルもブレーキもないエンジンはただの暴力だよ。

camel case spelling of abbreviations is purely vibes based isn't it

IoStream feels uglier than IOStream, but HTTPXMLRequest feels uglier than HttpXmlRequest

but then LlvmIr or LlvmIR both feel like abominations to me

truly one of the unsolved problems in computer science

I hope the situation where setting up a fediverse instance on a domain "burns" that domain forever gets rectified at some point. I would really like to just use my nyquil.org hostname, but still be able to change platforms at some point. For now I used gts.nyquil.org, assuming that I'm probably going to eventually want to play with bonfire or iceshrimp.NET or some other platform, and can have them all running on their own subdomains until a time when I want to migrate to one of them.

@nyquildotorgJer and needs a mechanism where domain names can be recycled. The fact that WordPress alone has no mechanism to allow a domain to exit the fediverse is reason enough. Sometimes servers get bricked and there is no way to go back and self-destruct.

Domains could be validated with a text record in the DNS by the owner of the domain name. If text record ActivityPubKill is true, then it should be trusted as so and defederated.

I'm not sure how this could be done, I don't know the ins and out. Maybe software packages could poll the DNS of failing federated servers and look for a universal or software specific kill tag or a file could be placed somewhere on a server that it looks for when a server fails, esp after 7 days.

Either way, a dns entry or a file on a physical server can be a trusted source as it takes elevated permission by someone in charge of a domain to usually do such a thing.

Gibt's hier jemand aus dem Raum Münster/Greven die/der Lust hätte im kommenden Schuljahr eine Kunst-AG an unserer Grundschule anzubieten? Es gibt eine Aufwandsentschädigung in Höhe von 18 Euro/Stunde. Teilnehmen müssen 8-12 Kinder, ab welcher Klasse kann selbst bestimmt werden. Die AG soll 60-90 Minuten gehen, an 3-8 Terminen. Leider kann die Referentin des letzten Jahres dieses Mal nicht.
Fedi, do your magic. Vielleicht gibt's ja jemanden.

»Es sind 2,8 Mio. Überstunden bei der Bundespolizei für 285 Zurückweisungen bis Ende Juni angefallen. Bei 30 €/Überstunde sind das 294.737 € pro Fall - nur an Überstundenkosten! Was für ein Irrsinn, was für abstruse Geldvernichtung!«

With Mastodon v4.4.0 instance owners can enable HTTP referrers. That means:

If somebody clicks a link in a Mastodon post (e.g. to a news article), the link target owner (such as the news site operator) can see that a user from that instance has visited their website.

They do _only_ get the instance domain (e.g. metalhead.club). No information about the user!

I've enabled this setting, because I am sure that it will increase awareness of Mastodon's existence. 💪

Edit: (in previous versions, Mastodon did not send referrer-Headers)

Screenshot shows setting for enabling the referrer.
