I built a private mastodon instance, and then wrote about it, some:
RE: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/116004809011481588
Anyway the reason I roll my eyes at most of the discussion about "AI", "AGI", "the singularity", "intelligence self-improvement feedback loop" is that like, it happened, it's already happened, it's been happening, it's us. We're it.
Kurzweil talked about lusting for a machine that can make him smarter. I have that, it's a piece of paper. I can write math on a piece of paper and solve problems I can't solve in my head. I can upload all the information in the world directly into my brain (books).
What "singularity" fanatics actually want is to not have to put in the work

Are there any good places to find volunteering roles? I'd like to find something that makes my community / the world better, and I'm happy to volunteer my time and tech skills to do so.
Something fully / mostly remote would be best. I'm based in Glasgow, UK. Global roles okay too.

This is not a meme coin.
This is Palantir, $PLTR.
It is down 12% today, nearly 15% on the week.
My new rice cooker beeps when it finished cooking. It was one of the features I've been wanting (to be notified that the rice is ready) but it beeps like 5 times and super loud, even louder than my own wake up alarm 😅 (and there is no way to adjust the volume).
Oh well maybe one day they'll make it play a song just like the laundry machines these days.
UK pol migrant rights / respond to a consultation
In their quest to emulate reform, the government has a consultation open on whether they should extend the time to gain settled status to actually decades! If this were the rule when I arrived, I still would not be eligible.
The UK government is trying to extend the time to get 'earned settlement' (legal security to live in the UK) for migrants from 5 years to 20, and make it almost impossible to meet the requirements if you're low income. They're collecting opinions on this proposed change - please share and fill it out! Only ONE WEEK left!
Some of the questions are purposefully worded difficultly - you can always skip the ones you’re unsure of. The most import part to answer is you *‘strongly disagree’* with the new proposed changes. And that *‘there should be no penalties’* to the question regarding asylum seekers arriving by small boat.
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/earned-settlement
Fortunately, Amnesty has a guide on how to respond. https://media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Amnesty_International_UK_-_Guidance_Consultation_Response_-_A_Fairer_Pathway_t_7hsH4ns.pdf
You can also write your MP or write a letter to the editor of a newspaper and then send a copy of the published letter. You can also wrote a lord, if your MP is rubbish or just to get the word out a bit. https://www.writetothem.com/lords
I just talked to a PhD student who had a scheduled faculty interview at a US R1 CS department two weeks from now, but not anymore: the position has been cancelled due to budget constraints. It's one thing to not be hiring this year -- but they actually opened a search, reviewed applications, invited folks for interviews, and *then* cancelled the position? A bunch of people's time just got wasted on both sides, to say nothing of the heartbreak of getting an interview and then having it cancelled.

Can someone on this side of the web plainsplain atproto, activitypub, etc to me? Not technically but like, ... Not politically, maybe like... Explain it like a recap of a reality TV show?
atproto = "distributed" like housewives stars; there's few of them and they're very expensive to maintain
activitypub = "distributed" like survivor stars; they're all completely psycho but they can built a functioning shelter from parts they found in the woods, and there's like 100 seasons

That’s the way I like it. 🤗 Is a pizza without olives and anchovies a pizza? 😎😉
something I don't think I've ever seen explained is whether there's any situation where it's safe to set "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" other than "if your site literally never serves any private data"
(I often hear "don't do it" which is fair I guess, but also like the Mastodon API intentionally sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * and that's extremely useful)
Ripple/XRP (a cryptocurrency company) just granted 200k USD to Social Web Foundation, "...to research sustainable revenue and operating models for digital publishers and community-run platforms":
https://interledger.org/news/interledger-foundation-awards-200000-social-web-foundation-support-decentralized-social-media (archived)
This means they will be able to influence the development of the ActivityPub specification at W3C.
For those who don't know: Interledger, WebMonetization and OpenPayments are basically the same thing, these projects were created by Ripple ~10 years ago in order to insert their cryptocurrency and related payment services into web standards. These projects are sometimes presented as independent, but this is a lie, they are not (not in 2019, not in 2025).
Needless to say, Ripple itself is a borderline scam: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbloomberg/2019/03/01/is-ripple-a-scam/. It's not even a cryptocurrency really, their infrastructure is completely centralized and no one in cryptocurrency space takes them seriously. But they have a lot of money to bribe people, so I am sure that we will hear more about their adventures soon.
One of the milestones that must be achieved before releasing Hollo 1.0.0 is supporting the ActivityPub C2S API, which in turn depends on ActivityPub C2S support in Fedify—also a major milestone for that project.

Hoping a math genius can explain the "correct" answer on this to me.
![Math problem with vector A = [3, 6, 9], Vector B = [2, 4, 6] and an "answer" to the question "Multiply the vector 2B" consisting of 6, 12, 18, 6, 12, 18.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/014/199/002/347/630/original/7f16eae329e660ce.png)
We're investigating European-based Patreon alternatives. Does anyone have any experience with any of them? We're looking at Steady but it appears that they process their payments through Paypal which kinda defeats the point of trying to use a European platform...

Attention please, I would like to get opinions on this question from people who actually use #Cloudron, and aren’t just aware that it’s proprietary software which is what originally put me off of it all the way back in 2016:
Is Cloudron actually good? 🙂
An artist who restored a fresco in a church in central Rome with a likeness of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has wiped out his own artwork after it sparked outrage. The story began on Saturday when La Repubblica daily revealed that the face of a freshly-restored winged figure in the San Lorenzo in Lucina church closely resembled Meloni. FRANCE 24's Seema Gupta reports from Rome.

Feeling a bit attacked, here. Rightly so, though.
also comes in jsx-less flavor
Morning reflection: becoming an adult isn’t about getting older, but about learning when the time comes to "disengage". When the stream of thoughts, disagreements, integrity, that feeling of being right, turns into a simple "OK".
Not because you changed your mind, but because you understand that continuing to argue won’t change it either.
And so that OK is both an ending and a beginning: the end of the discussion, and the start of putting into practice what you believe anyway.
According to Carl Jung, the second half of life is not a decline. It is a different psychological journey altogether. The first half is about building a place in the world. The second half is about discovering who you are without the world’s applause.
We recently came across an amazing project called uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist.
As they describe it, it's:
A huge blocklist of manually curated sites (1000+) that contain AI generated content, for the purposes of cleaning image search engines (Google Search, DuckDuckGo, and Bing) with uBlock Origin or uBlacklist.
There's something really lovely at the top of the uBlock Origin filter list, just under the description, that brought us a small bit of very-much-needed joy, and we wanted to share it here with others 🫶
! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
! Please support authentic artists! Whether it be commissions or donations, an amount of any size helps!
