Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.

tl;dr:

- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.

- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.

- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.

- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.

So as Google is forcing me as an individual user to be on a business plan, I'm interested in talking with a lawyer who can force this matter (and claim damages for incorrect billing for the past 4+ years) Hit me up if there's a lawyer I should speak with.

I created a Google account with G Suite in like 2010, on Mar 12, 2013, my account was transitions to G Suite Free Plan. When G Suite became Google Workspace, Google forced me on to Google Workspace Business Starter on Apr 13, 2022. Anyone know a lawyer who can help?

I've been thinking about this thread (link goes to final post) and its idea of a "Capital Strike" a lot for the last couple weeks. I'm still not sure if it works in the details (things I struggle with: is any of this intentional? is Jennifer attempting to suggest it is intentional? is "intentionality" a concept which can be ascribed to billionaires?) but in general strokes I think it's touched on something important

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined forces with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

If you’re not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.

This is a solid path forward for small tech.

This stupidity with California's Age Verification law reminds me that my dream job would be something where I can combine working with Free Software/Open Source with public policy buuuut I have no clue how to get there or if that job even exists 😅

I see a lot of strong anti-LLM takes on the Fediverse. I like some of them, and I don't like others. I sometimes respond if I think I can contribute to the conversation, but not always.

Is there an account you follow that boosts other people too much? Do you like reading their own posts, but you don't want to see their boosts?

In Mastodon you can hide an account's boosts by doing the following:

1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"

You will still see their posts, it will only hide boosts. If you change your mind, go to ⋯ and select "Show boosts".

They will never know you have hidden their boosts 🙂

Oh, nothing, just individually locating and downloading 9.5gb worth of (200+) high-rez (3600px wide) scans out of a 16th C book of extremely satisfying machines from the Library of Congress, one at a time, labeling them, and putting them in a folder for future collage work.

since unixy OSes have recently adopted TOCTOU-resistant path operations like `openat` and friends, has there been any consideration of doing something similar for the current executable? seems like it would be useful for a process to be started with the fd the image was mapped out of available to it, with `execat`/`posix_spawnat` syscalls to open an executable by fd rather than by path, so that you don't have to reconstruct the current executable path and hope it didn't change under you

Hi! SkyFeed is struggling and I need to find a solution. If you don't know SkyFeed, it's a service I built 2 years ago, enabling anyone to build and publish feeds using a visual block-based editor. SkyFeed is still hosting the most feeds on Bluesky, but that comes at a cost [1/X]

I don't agree with many of the arguments against LLMs I see on the Fediverse.

LLM usage is not a GHG-intensive activity, especially compared to other everyday activities.

It disturbs me when people imply that LLMs are primarily responsible for climate change. This is not remotely true, and it ignores our real responsibility for working on the climate emergency.

It hurts my heart that smart people I know and respect don't know the main sources of GHGs.
