I repeatedly tried IMs from Identi.ca days to Mastodon and always ran away soon, but I thought I'd give it a retry using #emacs with #mastodonel and when I looked for a server emacs.ch just had shown up and still had exactly 1 user.

Sometimes coincidence feels like a hint for doing the right thing at the right time.

I wonder if this whole AI thing will lead to a more siloed internet, and will actually drive most people off the 'general' web, and more into smaller groups with members that know each other or can only join via invitation.

Since it's now trivial to generate GBs of articles instantly about any topic, will people only want to read pages they know for sure were generated by humans? Will authors of articles start being more careful about where they post? Will more people want to host their own pages?

I was reading an article about this the other day, need to find the link and post it here. I think it's interesting to think about.

@djrmarques

The few times I asked AIs for help I got BS answers. I'd prefer a
fact checked web. As long as they are correct it does not matter who
wrote those facts.

OTOH bots spitting out one prime after the other are producing facts
but aren't interesting to read. But at least they aren't dangerous
disinformation...

...better retry:

I'd prefer an interesting fact checked web with trivial facts in an
easy to query database.

Only on Mastodon you will get actively trolled for saying a certain feature works or you like the platform as it is

If you could enjoy , should not be worse, but for someone who grew up with , and , the is just a big heap of only few confusingly noisy timelines. Features around ​s would need to get improved so that it gets easier to have clean places⁽¹⁾ for a topic while not by default being visible in those other big timelines and getting lots of fly-by comments⁽²⁾.

Or let this just be the place for the ones liking the current status quo. Thanks to this status quo many users start or restart using Usenet now!

THAT'S GREAT!

Exiting is not that funny, and a large chunk of us are mildly annoyed that you think it is.

I conducted (am still conducting, kinda) a poll across multiple social medes to validate my weariness towards the most clichéd (sfw) in-joke in possibly all of human history.

Attached are the results.

Do note that, aside from Mastodon, my following is rather small so the will of the masses may not be accurately represented. Still, it's a decent indication that I'm not alone.

Ahhh... yessss... edits a toot based on the buffered local one without reloading it from the server first, so disregarding possible changes by other clients applied meanwhile.

I'll try hard to get an opinion on that. Until then I'll just try to remember that on the next cross-time-and-client-edit.

Ich empfinde das (Ver-)Folgen von Personen als total falsches Konzept. Kaum hatte ich die ersten Personen in meiner , wurde mir klar, daß ich wirklich nicht jede Äußerung von diesen sehen will.

Wir sollten stattdessen folgen können. Die ist aber zu niedrig und mir wurde erklärt, daß obendrein das ​basierte Propagieren zwischen den Instanzen funktionieren kann, aber nicht muß. Ich hab's mangels Ahnung von Mastodon-Server-Internas nicht richtig verstanden.

Soziale Netze scheinen überwiegend zum Followers-, Likes- und Boosts-Zählen zu existieren? Für mich funktioniert das SO nicht.

Die hiesige (emacs.ch) lokale Timeline ist zum Glück recht ergiebig zu einem gewissen Thema, was mich auf die Idee bringt, daß generell eine Instanz pro Thema her müsste, sozusagen die Wiederentdeckung von ​s mit anderen Mitteln!

Zum Glück hat das einen langen Atem und zwar -inkompatible, aber gut fokussierte Foren sind durch soziale Netze auch nicht verschwunden.

:orgmode:​ #orgmode #emacs I've just realized that attaching short notes to sections of an org file is actually a very useful feature, I never really paid attention too 🤨​...

The command is bound by default to C-x C-z ... I have this (org-log-into-drawer . t) in .dir-locals and this in the org file #+startup: logdrawer.

The timestamp is inserted automatically, though it's not necessary for my workflow.

yeti,
@yeti@emacs.ch avatar

Adrenaliiiineeeeee... (o)

C-x C-z runs the command suspend-frame (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function.

It is bound to C-z, C-x C-z.

(suspend-frame)

But I could get that window back. \o/

Sorry, mastodon friends. Every time I log on to the mastodons I feel lost and discom"praise bob"ulated. Sometimes I wish the mastodons would just slow down to speed, or even single-session dialup speed. I just don't have the bandwiff these dayz to keep up. 😦

@xiled

Use news instead. That's still the better technology if contents is what you are looking for. Mastodon is only a few channels of far too much noise and I miss having well focused groups here every day. My patience with Mastodon might end soon.

{nntp.aioe.org} collapsed, I switched to {news.eternal-september.org} to compesate that. {news.gmane.io} to access mailiglists via NNTP is a nice invention! {news.sdf.org} and {news.tilde.club} need some more users.

I think NNTP should get a reboot in a more P2Py way. It needs to be easier to create more own/local groups for small communities, but even without this I still draw more information from Usenet and Mailinglists (via NNTP) than from Mastodon.

Hmmm. My mood about Usenet vs Mastotoot sure varies with the testosterone that's thrown at me and from where. Sometimes I think Usenet had gotten much friendlier than in the late 90ers now, sometimes I stumble over individuals splitting hairs as if news articles had likes and follower counts or there were a different jury watching their efforts to always have the last word. So some days The Mastoverse just feels too noisy for my taste, but friendlier, while on other days the amount of information I get via NNTP (I count mailinglists via NNTP in there too) clearly wins.

I left Stackexchange because of the fights over points and such stuff and too much upvoted clearly wrong or rule breaking answers. I want facts. Just boring facts! Justice is blind for a good reason! Upvoting, followers counting and such seems to unleash the worst in discussions.

Maybe we should try to build a social(?) network that only fact checks the statements and does not even disclose the authors.

    Im Gegensatz zu Attacken auf Kunst halte ich diese störenden Eingriffe in den Verkehr für angemessen und notwendig. Ebenso Störungen auf Flughäfen. Woanders saufen gerade Inseln ab! Unsere Politik hat sich seit Jahrzehnten nur mit Aussitzerei einen Namen gemacht.
    Ich bin wahrlich eine andere Generation und meine verbleibende Zeit hier ist nur noch kurz, aber ich bin doch sehr dafür, daß die heutige Jugend für nicht nur ihre eigene Zukunft kämpfen darf und auch soll.

    I hope, the decision which RISC-V board will be the first one being suppoted by NetBSD/riscv64 will crystallize out soon. Then running Qemu on that one, even if it were on Linux, using RISC-V native virtualisation might be a real speed boost over running Qemu on a different ISA.
