The next speaker is talking about population growth and decline in Estonia. Fixing connections between secondary places is going to be vital here. Rail Baltica can (partially) help.

This next presentation is great, about population and economic development. Super.

I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for a while now. Lately, DDG seems to "correct" my searches. A LOT. I don't know if it's just me or if it's a universal thing, but when I type in a search sometimes not only the results aren't what I was looking for, but I see the query itself has been changed to something I didn't actually search for. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating. I just might have to find a new search engine if this keeps up.

@mike To switched from DDG to Startpage a while ago, no complaints so far.

Also no more adult results for banal queries while at work.

What are your favourite PeerTube channels??

Any topic!

mesamunefire,
  • @thelinuxexperiment_channel is pretty neat. I like his reviews and news in the space.
  • @jeffjagoe I like the non-smash bros content they pop out once in a while.
  • @veronicaexplains She has some awesome linux and linux specific content. We watch her content over at our local makerspace when she has new videos.
  • tilvids.com/videos/overview - Awesome instance with great channels. Also one of the best support structures ive seen for peertube.
  • @coolmancoffeedan - Some strange stuff, but mostly uplifting? I think?
Goun,

This is great, thanks!

My search engine skills are failing me tonight. Does anybody know of a tool that will convert an HTML document into markdown? Linux obviously and CLI would be nice. I want to use it for a script.

@kev @mike are you sure they can convert html TO markdown? I think both can only convert markdown TO html

Microsoft ad showing someone praising CoPilot AI and how it helped them to turn on “Dark Mode” in Windows 11.

I feel this says more about the awful UI, than the cleverness of the AI.

She has a real good example of how algorithms on platforms like Instagram not only try to make you addicted but also divide us even more

I real LOVE the fact Mastodon and most of the Fediverse software avoids this all together

A girl explaining comments shown on an example Instagram posts. It looks at your age, gender, interests and serves comments based on that.

@stux And I bet that not only happens with that post. It also happens with posts by AfD, Forza Italia, VOX, Chega... and by democratic parties too. So, polarization and far-right go brrr.

@LevelUp @stux fedi also has a massive hivemind.
Look at the hate the dude got for building the bluesky bridge or there was a even better example where somebody build their own activitypub server and people thought its a crawler and harassed them till they entirely quit fedi

Is there a good resource or book for learning about some of the details of how webservers work?

For example if I want an IP address on a intranet to be a webpage that people on that intranet can go to... how would I set that up from scratch. Let's say I have a machine with a static IP on the local net... (but what I really also need to understand is how a static IP is established locally, a DNS?)

Maybe the dream book or resource doesn't exist. But I ask anyway.

(it's macs if that matters)

The original spec of HTTP from 1991 is here

https://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/AsImplemented.html

It is not very helpful, but that is how it started.

Basic HTTP 0.9, no longer supported, was barely more than https://http.dev/0.9

The first actual spec for 1.0 is in https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1945.txt
That is also what I used in my example.

HTTP then escalated, https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt is already hundreds of pages, and that is why people use libraries that implement this.

isotopp,
@isotopp@chaos.social avatar

@futurebird

and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9113 and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9114 are just… monsters.

They do smart things, but these are also very complicated things, partial documents, compression, multiplexing of a single connection, push notifications and so on.

It's no longer a casual thing.

But a TCP/IP server that implements HTTP/1.0 is a nice weekend project.

“…Justice Kennedy found for the crt that the failure of an objectively biased jdg to recuse him- or herself is not “harmless error” just because the biased jdg’s vote is not apparently determinative in the vote of a panel of jdgs. A biased jdg contaminates the proceeding not just by the casting &/tabulation of his or her own vote but by participating in the body’s collective deliberations & affecting, even subtly, other judges’ percep of the case.”

if you can't be in a coalition with people you disagree with on at least a few things, you can't build a coalition big enough to accomplish anything in the United States or defeat rising fascism.

It’s just not going to work.

@TonyStark

Yup. In all the instances globally where the far-right has gained a stranglehold on politics (e.g. Hungary, Slovakia, Turkey, India, Israel, Georgia, etc.), it's not because the extremists have suddenly become popular; rather, it's the fact that the non-fascist opposition in all those places remains fragmented because they refuse to get their heads out of their asses and put aside minor squabbles over policy to come together for the greater good

Everyone elevates Revolution over evolution.

But few revolutions stand the test of time like evolution. Grasping the power of evolving, understanding change takes time is fundamentally a sound strategy for getting where you need to go. Incremental progress holds better than upsetting the entire thing over a potentially imperfect outcome.

Critical thinking demands patience and perseverance both. I wish people employed it more. But drama sells.

Can someone please make a 1Password clone that isn’t a pile of garbage? Pretty please?

@caseyliss is this 1PW7 or 8?
I've started trying 1PW8 on macOS and don't see too many issues so far - but it is scary. I've always seen certain websites that won't autofill, and 1PW7 fairly often doesn't store the password. But I pre-save the password as I set up the account.

@MrRooni and team might want to wade through this?
