Just added easy-to-read logs to the ActivityPub Fuzzer! Here's a log of the fuzzer pretending to be Bookwyrm, along with an example of what the Create(Note) and the Article review look like in Hometown.

Note the "read article" link, which is a Hometown feature to be compatible with AP implementations that emit Article objects. You can also see at a glance that the "summary" field that Hometown is rendering here is actually coming from "object.name" (because "summary" is used for CWs lol)

TLDR; Anyone looking for affordable #science #tutoring let me know.

👩‍🔬 <- My aunt is a wonderful human being. She is qualified as a #science teacher and over the last year has undergone quite an upheaval in life, relocating to a totally new area in the process. She’s now looking to get back to work via personal tutoring from the new year onwards.

She’s not in it for the money, preferring to help those less advantaged. If you know anyone in secondary education in the UK who wants/needs extra tuition let me know and I’ll put you in touch.

Ideally she’ll get some work local to her in the #Malvern area (#Worcestershire) that she can do in person, but she can also do a few slots per week remote tutoring via Jitsi or similar.

“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”

Los Campesinos! break down streaming royalties. In other news, Fuck Spotify.

Really nice to see in this day and age: https://www.facebook.com/GirlGuidesofCanada.GuidesduCanada/posts/pfbid034fKm9CuoFR7U13LT6577259iHZHQRGZ7P3V9g6NJ7dhV2eXjMmRFaSC1BcXh3Xsql

One thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.

Hey @EmmaDelescolle✨ Emma 🐍 🎸 🐹‏ a while back you mentioned Ubuntu having a custom uwsgi for use with nginx. Did I understand you right? Could you point me to a source about that at all? Thanks. 🙏

所得税の増税は軍拡ではなく生活のためにこそ使われるべきだ。
税の再分配機能からしてもそれが本筋だし、軍拡には湯水のごとく費やす一方でお米券などという低レベルな生活支援策に留まる高市政権の税金への認識には問題しかない。

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to focus on what's really important in life: adding value.

Thing I'm trying to figure out:

- I want to use .htaccess to block a subdirectory from being accessed. (Because of a reason, the .htaccess cannot go *in* the subdirectory.)

- Lots of SO replies suggest using <Directory "dirname"> with a deny from all.

- But this doesn't work. "<Directory not allowed here".

- Lots of SO posts also agree <Directory> and <Location> are not allowed in .htaccess.

- If it's not allowed it's not allowed. But why do so many people seem to *believe* it's allowed?

I have never wanted to order mealworms by mail more in my whole life.

You can do it!

Raising a GM EV1 from the Dead

@fsfeFree Software Foundation Europe Congrats! I think it was a very good decision.

Dye is out, we are still working on the Liquid Glass user interface update for macOS #Tahoe.

⚠️ The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X ⚠️

The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.

ayy sidetrail lexicons are hot on ufos.microcosm.blue today

Irgendwie fehlt mir ein simples umgangssprachliches Verb für *etwas mit KI generieren". Mir ist vor allem wichtig, dass dabei sprachlich die Verantwortung für das Ergebnis beim Menschen verortet ist.

Ich schlage vor: etwas aus der KI ziehen

Positiv verwendbar (wichtig, damit die Bereitschaft zur Transparenz steigt): "Guck mal, was ich aus der KI gezogen habe!"

Ablehnend verwendbar: "Hast du den Quatsch aus einer KI gezogen?"

Erklärend verwendbar: "Wenn du das nächste Mal etwas aus einer KI ziehst, musst du es prüfen, ehe du es glaubst/verbreitest/whatever."

Protože jsem upgradoval #Friendica na dev verzi, dostal jsem upgradovanej #OEmbed, kterej bych rád otestoval. Rozhodl jsem se zkusit to přes #Tidal

Můžete někdo vyzkoušet, jak se tváří u vás a okomentovat to, ať to můžu zkouknout i ze strany Mastodonu? 😀
