  • @aimee@mastodon.nz great suggestions, thanks! Science magazines would be great reading material :)

  • @julian Aeon? New Scientist? As for books - SO MANY (mostly sci-fi) :P Read Transmetropolitan? Or Afrian Tchaikovsky's work? Also, the Discworld novels :)

  • Jonathan Haidt's been doing a media tour to promote his and Catherine Price's new book, The Amazing Generation.

    After watching the duo's segment on The Daily Show, it's inspired my wife and I to try a digital sabbath on Saturdays again.

    Part of why it failed in the past (multiple times, I'm sad to say) was that we didn't have anything physical to read. We'd start making small concessions ("I'm reading a Kindle, it's ok"), leading to more concessions ("I'm only using my phone to look something up"), and pretty soon we'd be back on our phones again.

    So, fedi, any suggestions for book series' and (print) magazines to subscribe to?

    We're probably going to subscribe to Macleans, but it's monthly now, so we need more suggestions!

    Bonus if it's Canadian content, but not a hard requirement.

    We'll probably do Chirp for the kids, too.

  • So NodeBB tests have been failing for the past few days because coveralls.io is down.

    Coveralls is a code coverage bot that is free for open source projects. We integrated it into our workflow years ago and it's been trucking along fine all these years.

    While coveralls being down technically prevents us from running our tool to launch a new version, we could always just do it manually.

    Their outage page is here: https://status.coveralls.io/

    They are on day 3 of the outage and have absolutely no idea when things will come back up.

    This paragraph is worded curiously:

    > We want to be transparent with you: after two full days of working directly with our hosting provider’s account team, we still do not have an ETA for service restoration. Despite having internal sponsorship within our provider’s organization, we have been unable to get the traction needed to resolve what appears to have been an automated action, one that no one on their side has taken ownership of causing or fixing.

    (Emphasis mine.)

    Perhaps I have been reading too many AI-doomer articles. This sounds like an AI agent went in and started deleting shit.

    The post mortem is going to be very very very interesting.

    cc @mariusor@metalhead.club, because he started an HN thread about it

  • @reiver@mastodon.social I would've! Unfortunately we booked a family vacation for this week, before FOSDEM dates had been announced 😅

    I love the excitement for new #ActivityPub based projects. Maybe i'm wrong but 'loops will do for the fediverse what the iPhone did for smartphones' seems a bit out of touch.Nothing wrong with being excited, but seeing how few people know of or care about Pixelfed still outside of Mastodon users who many have bailed for Bluesky, I think maybe, just maybe, the fedi is a hopeful echo chamber in a bubble sometimes. #Reality #Fediverse #Mastodon #Loops #Pixelfed #TikTok #Instagram

    I blocked the `threads.net` server as an admin of this server because I recently quit Meta. This is also to free myself from Meta's influence. Additionally, there are many media reports about Meta's misuse of minors' pictures as part of their targeted advertising campaigns. My AI chatbot reported a summary to me, indicating that Meta even defended this behavior, claiming that they had appropriate agreements in place. #Fediverse #Privacy #Safety #DigitalFreedom #OnlineSafety #Meta #Threads #Decentralization #DataPrivacy #DigitalRights #Blocklist #FreedomOnline #Transparency #UserControl

    Threads, la nueva red social de Meta, será compatible con el Fediverso. ¿Es esto una buena noticia? La historia parece indicar que no, ya que es probable que la multinacional esté desplegando una estrategia llamada "Adopta, Extiende, Extingue".. Las grandes compañías tech, las que están incluídas en las siglas GAFAM, esto es, Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon y Microsoft, son conocidas por sus supuestas (o a veces no tan supuestas) prácticas monopolísticas. Solo a modo de ejemplo, una rápida búsqueda en internet nos proporciona casos como: - El departamento de justicia contra google. - La FTC contra Facebook. - Y otros casos similares de los estados de Tejas, Colorado y Utah contra google. No obstante, Meta (ose podría enfrentar hoy en día a un competidor que no puede ser comprado: el Fediverso. En el vídeo anterior os introduje un poco a este mundo del fediverso. El fediverso es un grupo descentralizado de servidores que usan el protocolo ActivityPub para comunicarse entre ellos. ActivityPub es un protocolo de red abierto para crear redes sociales descentralizadas. Básicamente, este protocolo proporciona una API cliente-servidor para crear, actualizar y eliminar contenidos, así como una API federada de servidor a servidor para enviar notificaciones y contenidos. El resultado es que con este protocolo se han creado redes sociales federadas y descentralizadas, como Mastodon (que sería como un Twitter), PeerTube (que sería como un Youtube), Lemmy (que sería como un Reddit), y otras. De los enormes beneficios que aportan estas redes descentralizadas, federadas, y FOSS, ya hablé en mi vídeo anterior. La idea de este vídeo es ver los mecanismos que tienen las grandes tecnológicas para acabar con esta competencia, que no pueden comprar como ha hecho en otras ocasiones, ya que no es propiedad de nadie, sino el resultado de la comunicación espontánea entre muchos servidores. 🕒 Marcas temporales: 00:00 Introducción 00:26 El Fediverso como amenaza 02:48 "Adopta, Extiende, Extingue" 04:32 Google vs XMPP 12:27 El origen de la estrategia 14:44 Meta vs Fediverso 15:50 La prueba 16:16 Conclusión: ¿qué podemos hacer? 🔵 Algunos enlaces relevantes: 🔗 Artículo en que me he basado: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html 🔗 Casos judiciales GAFAM: https://www.economicliberties.us/tech-lawsuit-timelines/ 🔗 Threads: https://www.xataka.com/basics/threads-instagram-que-como-funciona-que-promete-esta-red-social 🔗 Fediverso: https://fediverse.party/ 🔴 VÍDEOS QUE YOUTUBE NO TE RECOMIENDA https://youtu.be/EQy9g-U0VYM https://youtu.be/tzkb-qH-uYU 🟢 CONTRIBUYE A LA DIFUSIÓN DEL SOFTWARE LIBRE: 🦇 Donando BAT si usas Brave Browser 🪙 Bitcoin (BTC): bc1qtmpr2k40kquq6scchv9dre65lahjr2gxrpdp69 🌩️ Bitcoin lightning (BTC): https://getalby.com/p/linuxchad 🕵️ Monero (XMR): 86LXrzSe7wfLAsWVftebH3UNozb6Pf5K8KKooBRo47BYhge4HmzEeaBHa3twGe3hmjG5UPUm6DrFhi2tZVPnaxm752vhZ9f
