Jitsi questions:

- how secure is it?
- is encrypted?

- what are some public servers folks can use?

- what else is good about it I should know?

Note, I am not asking for critique of Jitsi outside of the technical specs - I have cranky opinions covered

RE: stranger.social/@lednaBM/11571

It's weird how every time someone runs a UBI or GBI test like this, it always turns out positive. Like, I *never* see headlines saying "UBI Trial in Bumfucksburg, West Idaho Fails to Achieve Goals".

They always work, never fail.

It's almost like they're a good idea and we should move past the "trial" stage, hmm? 🤔

It's not even about privacy, tbh. "God I hate all these ads." "God I hate all this AI shit." Um, hey, can I suggest a tool that's totally free and solves that problem easily? "No, I'll just keep suffering."

"Oh wait, there's this new app called Twzlrrrrr? I have no idea what it does but everyone else is on it so I need to hand over six forms of ID and triple backflip through a flaming hula hoop to have it!"

Btw, it also has ads and AI.

And these are the same people who are like "man fuck ICE, fuck Trump." My brother in Christ, these same companies you refuse to stop using are propping up ICE and Trump. All Big Tech is bending the knee. All of them have government surveillance. You think the NSA does their own wiretapping anymore? Dream on. They buy it all from Facebook and Amazon and Google. Corporate surveillance IS government surveillance.

I spent a while implementing resilient parsing this weekend, and I am kind of thinking that this isn't quite what I want.

Instead, I want a resilient *grammar*. What I mean by this is, a resilient grammar is designed with the temporal process of typing out the code in mind, to minimise the number of *errors* that may occur whilst the code is only partly written. In particular, there are many places where we *know* that we need to have a certain keyword, or an identifier, or a block, and instead of emitting an error or a diagnostic in those places, we should just allow them to be empty.

Then, the magic part is when we also instrument the concrete syntax trees with inlay hints that indicate to the user what they would have been supposed to type there. These aren't errors, they are hints.

I am sick and tired of "live errors" (live nitpicking) whilst writing my code. What I want is "live reminders of the syntax".

@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman: …and it's not just the sheer amount of storage; prudent expiration and cleanup (e.g., #Enigmatick clears cache data each night that's greater than 30 days old) helps to manage that. It's the application load of pulling up the same records tens of thousands of times within a few seconds when new content is created (i.e., the fan-out of initial delivery and the resulting requests back for content).

I use Varnish and that helps a lot with the latter case. But a #FediCDN could be built on Varnish (like Fastly is) and provide decentralization in that service.

I think it is telling that we are about three years into the AI craze and, still, every single time someone says to me "I asked ChatGPT ___ " or "The chatbot told me ____" I know they are about to say something completely stupid and devoid of facts. Every single time.

我某段時候有捐過無國界,後來取消了,應該就是2019年的事

倒是國際特赦一直是在我的捐獻名單內,直到香港分部因為國安法而解散為止
