Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit and is now exploring new vistas in social media.

I have nothing productive or helpful to say here other than: OP you are so unbelievably naive to think what you ever say is significant enough to warrant people caring what you say, but also dumb enough to think that anything you delete from the internet is ever truly gone. You deserve this. You will never be forgotten and you will always be reminded of your mistakes.

‘It is a time of witch hunts in Israel’: teacher held in solitary confinement for posting concern about Gaza deaths (www.theguardian.com)

An unlikely charge of intent to commit treason landed Meir Baruchin, a grey-haired, softly spoken history and civics teacher, in the solitary confinement wing of Jerusalem’s notorious “Russian Compound” prison in early November....

The data is in: RTO policies don't improve employee performance or company value, but controlling bosses don't care (www.businessinsider.com)

With AI scraping everything, would it make sense to add copyright notices to comments on the fediverse? CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Deed

General_Effort,

When I post something here, I usually have the hope that someone else benefits from it in some small, tiny way. Either because it makes them laugh or because it gives them valuable information.

I don’t understand why anyone would post if they can’t bear the idea that someone else might get a tiny, little something for free.

A take on an "ideal" fediverse

For-profit tech companies like #Threads and #Flipboard are beginning to implement #ActivityPub, and that's been causing a lot of chaos lately. Thus, I've found it helpful to take a step back, consider what it is about the fediverse that I value, and think about whether federation with these large platforms will bring us closer...

Dumb. Federation is how we escape from every cloud-based service being a dictatorship of the person who owns the platform. That includes federating with privately own orgs to provide them an exit.

By all means make good tools to allow individual users to block Threads (or other private instances ruled by amoral coporations), but doing it at instance level is just dumb.

edit: also, number of instances doesn’t matter. Number of daily active users matters. Most users are on mastodon.social, mastodon.cloud, lemmy.world, hachyderm.io, lemmy.world, etc. And all of those are federating. The only large instance that is not federating with threads is mas.to

Israel has just given BP licences to drill for gas off the coast of Gaza. So, people blockaded its head office (www.thecanary.co)
