RE: social.coop/@scottjenson/11594

I'm getting strong support on this: very basic, server side data, which has NOTHING to do with the user (e.g. no IP) can be analyzed (not stored!)

Yes, corporations abused data collection, but this trauma taught us the wrong lesson: analysis is not evil, abusing data collection is. But people continue to have knee jerk reactions to this, creating strawmen that don't exist.

FOSS can be open and transparent. We can prove that trust. Let's *want* to find good, safe, transparent ways to do this.

People have brought up IP but that shouldn't be logged either. The point is to do this in a squeaky clean manner, with the source code inspectable so the process is safe, transparent, and verifiable.

But too many projects would never consider this from fear of the rabble hoards coming after them.

This needs to be possible, it's how you get better UX.

By reframing this as "site stats" and not user stats, I hope we can move forward. If there are zero stats "of any kind" about the user collected, maybe we could do this without freaking out?

If there are some hidden user stats collected, then we should remove them. The point is to figure out how to do this safely, not assume it can never be done.

To improve the account creation process of any FOSS tool would require simple data collection about where they drop out during the sign up process. There is no account for this so there is nothing to log that is attached to a person.

Yet.... Most FOSS people are adamant that this data should not be collected. Why? There is zero personal info. It's meant to help the project.

Is the reluctance basically a "slippery slope"? E.g. never give an inch?

Unboxed my Mastodon plushies this morning. Their larger sibling is at home as it shipped last week. These two had to hop the pond and be signed for at the post office this morning.

My review: 15/10 ⭐️
They are so soft, squishy and best of all no odd smell. Plushies sometimes smell and need to be aired out. Wherever/however these are manufactured, they are scent free which added the extra 5 ⭐️

Not pictured are two awesome sticker sheets from

Two plushie mastodons from https://shop.joinmastodon.org
They are sitting on the dashboard touching the windshield of my parked vehicle. In the background is a building and snow everywhere. The plushies are blue and peach.

This is real bad for Tesla:

"So the company just announced that they would be removing Autopilot from cars that are newly sold. Autopilot has long been a free feature in Tesla cars. It combines basic lane centering with traffic-aware cruise control. It is not only a basic feature on Tesla cars, it’s a basic feature on each of Tesla’s competitors. It lets you let the car drive itself, within the confines of one lane, safely on the highway. When I owned a Tesla, I probably used Autopilot for dozens of hours. I use the equivalent technology on the competitor EV I use today. It doesn’t cost me a dime.

By removing Autopilot, Musk is essentially making his smart car dumber than a Toyota Corolla you could buy ten years ago. He’s also making it more unsafe. These sorts of highway driving systems reduce fatigue and help avoid deadly driver errors. Now, you will only be able to get any self-driving aides by paying Musk $99 a month for an FSD subscription.

Rather than improving the service or lowering the price, Musk is simply using his market power to coerce his consumers to give him more money. One reason why he might want to boost FSD subscriptions is that his trillion dollar pay package is tied to the goal of achieving a certain number of subscriptions. We now know that safety and value matter far less to him than getting even more obscenely rich.

All across social media, EV enthusiasts are swearing to never buy another Tesla. And if the West continues to go in the direction of Canada, they may make good on their promise. The EVs coming out of China have been wowing consumers who have access to them for years."

이 날씨에 얼죽아 좋아하면… 환자?!🫠

암것도 해당 안되는것 같은데🥲
괜히 얼죽아 즐기는 사람 기죽이지 말라구ㅠ

- 철분 결핍성 빈혈, 스트레스, 불안 등 의심
- 얼음까지 씹어먹으면 탈수, 구강건조 의심
- 찬 음료는 위장관 급격 수축으로 복통, 설사, 속쓰림, 위경련 유발 가능

그렇데요 ㅠ

May be an image of text that says '아시아 경제 영하 13도인데 "난 얼죽아" 이 이사 사 람. ..환자일지도 몰라요 구나리기자 구나리 기자 수정 2026.01.24. 오후 8:41v 기사원문 2 10 ) 》가가 가가 철분 결핍성 빈혈, 스트레스·불안 불안 등 의심 서울 아침 최저 기온이 영하 13도로 떨어지는 한파가 찾아 와도 '얼죽아' 죽아'(얼어 (얼어 죽어도 아이스 아메리카노)인 사람이 있다면 특정 질환이 있는 건 아닌지 살펴봐야 한다.'

AI slop isn't a new phenomenon, unfortunately...

After the conference, [Chip Morningstar] analyzed the leading names in postmodern literary theory and philosophy of the era to determine if there was anything of value hidden behind the dense verbiage, if the underlying concepts were "bogus", or if there was actually no intellectual content at all. Morningstar ultimately determined "there is indeed some content, much of it interesting", but he also wrote: "The language and idea space of the field have become so convoluted that they have confused even themselves."

챗GPT에 대한 논란이 많긴 하지만 이것 하나만큼은 박수를 쳐주고 싶음. 학기말 평가를 작성할 때 어떻게든 좋은 말을 해줄 수 없는 학생일 경우 냅다 있는 그대로의 행동발달상황을 쓰면 두루뭉술 중언부언 말장난 잘 하는 챗GPT가 내용없는 미사여구로 바꾸어 줌. 저는 제가 직접 쓰는 걸 좋아해서 도움을 받지도 않았고 운이 좋게도 도움이 필요한 학생이 없었으나 아는 분이 일년 내내 전교 선생님을 힘들게 했던 담당학생 평가로 괴로워하시기에 알려드림. 결과: 매우 속시원하게 할 말을 다 쓰고도 아무런 문제될 문구가 없어 신통방통해 함.

참 그러고보니 김마리아 하면 아무래도 광복군의 김마리아와 김필순 선생의 조카 김마리아만을 아실 건데요 3.1운동을 계획한 학생 김마리아가 한 분 더 있습니당.. 이쪽은 아무래도 조명이 잘 되지 않더라고요. 나머지 두 분이 아무래도 너무 독보적인 공적이라 그런가는 모르겠습니다만.

We've published an AI usage policy for the Fedify project, inspired by Ghostty's approach.

TL;DR: AI tools are welcome, but contributions must disclose AI usage, be tied to accepted issues, and be human-verified. Maintainers are exempt.

一位非藍白人士要如何在台北打贏市長選戰?

1.你必須是男的,生理男。
2.你必須帥,或至少非常有清潔感,才符合外貌潔癖協會的台北人審美
3.你必須會說話,不管是建言或幹話都行,如果不會,那退回2並閉嘴
4.你最好很會說諺語/成語/詩詞/俏皮話,台北人很吃這套,放心,中國社群每天出現大量此類成語讓你補習,請參考韓某。
5.照這個道理,似乎英俊男諧星就能選上台北市長
6.趙少康/丁守中/馬英九都依循此公式順利在台北民選出道

7.依公式求解,將陸委會記者會變成喜劇現場的梁文傑非常有勝算,其他有意角逐人選帥是夠帥,但不善言詞,我建議轉藍白就會大紅(雙關),藍白選民政治歸政治,但很多時候會把政治當偶像界看待,他們才是最正統的偶像粉,一生鐵桿粉,什麼KPOP粉AKB粉都弱爆了。

因為這是半夜亂說話,所以這篇文字既無建樹也無意義。
