    ‘Tis but a Scratch: Does TypeSpec Reignite the Specification Wars?

    https://nordicapis.com/tis-but-a-scratch-does-typespec-reignite-the-specification-wars/

    "TypeSpec is an attempt to combine the design-first and code-first worlds into something that works across both methodologies and reduces cognitive load for designers. ... The TypeSpec approach also means a general decrease in complexity, which, for Microsoft, eases its use across the organization." -- #ChrisWood

    According to Federated Social Network Service/System (SNS) History, the term "Fediverse" was coined on 2012-05-25. Long before #ActivityPub... just sayin'.

    OK. I'm a bit tipsy. But I just came up with a universal slogan. The Fediverse. Solar power for domestic use. Decentralise everything. #GetRidOfTheGrid

    We built centralised infrastructure for many years under the control of the people by making it publicly owned infrastructure. Think rail networks. Water. Electricity. Roads. Then we let capitalism run rampant through a concept called privatisation. With #OpenSource and #OpenStandards we can go back to making infrastructure public. On a global level. To solve global problems. Through decentralisation. #GetRidOfTheGrid

    Marleen Stikker last talk of the year.

    Defence of internet as a public space.

    What we think for granted is under threat. We're still alive and kicking though.

    Technology is a power infrastructure.
    The internet protocol means you could talk the protocol and be part of the network.

    Over the last 20 years, people were naive about the internet. Strategic autonomy is at stake. Sovereignty is in danger. We should end with alternative networks and stop using Gaggle.

    "We have to use the alternatives. I am happy with #ActivityPub"

    Fixing the internet: designing great decentralized free software
    Fixing the economy: rethinking economics outside of capitalism.

    If you talk about technology, you talk about power, you talk about politics, there's no way around it.

    Cooperation among human rights, technologists, social movements, environmentalism, etc. must happen.

    So, no longer requires a username when signing up. You instead get assigned one automatically, of the form "idXXX" where XXX is the ID for your user record. You can change it later in settings if you wish. Current Mastodon versions handle this change no problem.

    The username is only visible in two places:

    • The URL of your profile
    • When someone mentions you
      So it's not very important. Definitely not important enough to be a required field when you register.

    I'm starting to think there will be business opportunities that are branded as "AI-free" much like food is branded Organic.

    I'm already starting to look for products like that.

    It's the same rationale for why my refrigerator doesn't need to be connected to the internet. Or why my hammer doesn't need to ask me about my day when I take ot out of the toolbox.

    TIL about #CopyFarLeft licensing..

    https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Copyfarleft

    Like the Peer Production license:

    > "The peer production license is an example of the Copyfair type of license, in which only other commoners, cooperatives and nonprofits can share and re-use the material, but not commercial entities intent on making profit through the commons without explicit reciprocity."

    A long overdue standard has now been published at W3C: "RDF Dataset Canonicalization". Essential for security related operations with RDF Datasets...

    Note that the standard is published alongside 8 full implementations, which is great.

    I’ve just had to debunk some more pseudoscience garbage shared by my mother on Facebook. The only reason why I still use that platform every now and then is just to make sure that my family doesn’t go completely off the basket case tangent with conspiracy bullshit.

    This time, after chemtrails, vaccines that cause autism, Covid intentionally spread by the government, climate change that doesn’t exist, new world order secretely decided in Davos, freemasons and Jews ruling the world, gender theory pushed by a cult of paedophiles, and Putin and Trump as the only saviours, it was the time for the landing on the moon that didn’t happen.

    The arguments used by the guy (“there are no signs of the source code that was used by the Apollo missions and the lunar module didn’t have enough thrust to take off”) could be dismantled with a simple Github link and a quick round of the Tsiokovsky rocket equation.

    But the original post had hundreds of reshares, while my response didn’t get a single reaction. And my mother, who quit school at the age of 12 and has no clue of what either specific impulse nor escape velocity are, didn’t understand anything of my explanation anyway, and tomorrow she’ll probably just reshare some more bullshit that she wants to believe in.

    Does anyone have family members or close friends who are also stuck in this vicious conspiracy cycle that apparently can’t be broken with any efforts of reasoning? How do you cope with that? It is becoming utterly depressing from my side. The conspiracy-inclined side of social media has features that resemble too much those of a cult. I’ve fought to take my family out of a cult years ago, just to see them plunge into another one. The time required to debunk bullshit is high, while the time to reshare it basically zero, and I feel like it’s a war I can’t win. Wondering if there’s a way out that doesn’t end up affecting our own mental health even more.

    Thinking about attempting to code an service as a learning project, and to perhaps solve the social lock-in issue of gaming platform profiles that really pisses me off. 🤔

    I really really don't like , however I'm way too attached to my almost 20 year old profile and like to do video game achievements. Having a unified, federated profile that pulls its data from all the different sources (Steam, PSN, Xbox, RetroAchievements.org and especially GOG) would be neat.

    OMG the thugs at decided they better steal Scarlett Johannson's voice after she declined a contract to get voiced by her.

    Two days before launch of she was approached again by Sam Altman, Head of Crooks. And refused again.

    To then find her overly uplifting, encouraging, positive sounding voice creating the uncanny valley in these demo's.

    When approaching OpenAI by her legal councilors the voice was suddenly pulled.

    🇳🇱 Ook zoekmachine DuckDuckGo heeft nu AI standaard aan staan. Om het uit te schakelen klik je op de zoekresultatenpagina op de twee "tennisrackets" aan de rechterkant. Vervolgens kies je in het menuutje 'AI-functies > Beheren' en daar kun je alles uitzetten.

    🇬🇧 DuckDuckGo has turned on AI as a standard setting. To turn it off, click on the two 'tennis rackets' on the search results page, on the right side. Then click on 'AI functions > Manage' to turn everything off.
