Promising news from Unity about walking back (some?) of their recent dubious decisions. I'm very interested to read an analysis on this to see what didn't get walked back.

"Content” is an absolute abstraction, shedding everything specific about the objects it references. All meaning (and everything that goes beyond the most literal output, the most simplistic view on a created artifact) is stripped. No longer are people writers or filmmakers or musicians or whatever: They are “content creators " - @tante

Thanks for gracefully pinpointing my dissonance towards the term "content creator".

Anyways we can talk about if computers are secretly people after you do something about the alarmingly prolific right wing extremist movement by religious fundamentalists and neo nazis to strip away the personhood of people like me (and anyone else)!

If all you seem to care about is the personhood of some proprietary cloud service, I have significant doubts about your priorities and reservations about continuing to interact with you.

With all the handwringing over what if ai was people, I think it's telling that when people use neural nets to fuzz hard computer science problems, the neural net can't teach the alleged novel method discovered. "Learning" is a vacuous concept here, because nothing new is known by anyone, human or computer! I've got a markov chain to sell you.

regular reminder that the EU does NOT require websites (even those that use cookies) to have banners or popups or anything else like that that is a fiction invented by the adtech industry

Vandaag, de 14e dag van de #A12 blokkade op rij. De fossiele subsidies zijn er nog steeds, dus morgen zijn we weer terug want het is keihard nodig. Iedere dag, 12:00 uur.

Meedoen? Morgen, zaterdag 23 september, wordt een grote. Zorg dat jij erbij bent: http://a12blokkade.nl

Anyway, long story short: Mastodon continues to be garbage and should really really really really prioritise community safety features before anything else gets bolted on at this point

Harbouring a r000t alt despite knowing who he is / what he's done: https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/110815813243559950

(The admin actually DMed me after this to let me know that they had added a new rule about not harbouring known abusive actors, as if they'd put the rule in place so that they had a legitimate reason to kick the account, and then... the account is still there >.>)

Deleting a mutual aid post then suspending the account: https://mastodon.myocci.social/@bishop/110895457499714817

Weird account suspensions: https://floss.social/@downey/110675313983742403

Took a year to notice someone was breaking their 'only speak English' rule, then the admin got irate in replies and ended with "so. Leave. Then. FFS." https://archive.is/cyDQ5 (they have since amended the English language policy)

Problematic user still active:
https://archive.is/77Vtw anti-immigration views
https://archive.is/SWYEc calls Tusky's blocklist "control freakery" while implying allowing covidspiracy content is universally important
https://archive.is/R2Nq8 "opposing the enforcement of political beliefs"

Admin complaining about 'snowflakes' https://web.archive.org/web/20190705194422/https://fosstodon.org/@kev/102387494273401525

Admin saying pronouns make him cringe https://web.archive.org/web/20190705194339/https://fosstodon.org/@kev/102388307135942576

#FediBlock

the reason people block disqordia is because they're racist. there are receipts. there is no conspiracy, stop making shit up.

You wouldn't know her, she goes to another microblogging site.

TIL: `git archive` which makes a tarball/zip of a git repo and a version number. Handy for making things which you can give to someone to deploy.

git archive --remote gitea@gitea.example.org:username/project.git 4.0 --format tar.gz -o webfrontewnd.tar.gz --prefix /srv/service/webfrontend/
