Got a new Gouda pottery plate for my collection at koningsdag vrijmarkt. Already had the wall plate, and new one turns out to be from same painter, dating from 1920. Very happy with this find

a guy who posts a screenrecording of perplexity.ai to prove the claim bluesky is formerly twitter is a new type of guy i would not have expected to encounter on mastodon, but very funny nonetheless

happy avril 14th!!

the atmosphere conference was truly incredible, absolutely amazing community, seeing such a wide ranging group of people build a dense network of social connections

the problem with writing about 'the purpose of a system is what it does' is that it makes you realise that the purpose of open protocols is to have protocol wars, people fucking love to argue about their protocol as a teamsport

new from me: What is the purpose of protocols? https://connectedplaces.online/the-purpose-of-protocols/

hard to overstate how incredibly bad this is

Salvatore Sanfilippo (@antirez) and Armin Ronacher (@mitsuhiko) both argue that #ai reimplementation of #copyleft libraries is fine. Their legal reasoning might be correct. That's not the point. Legal and legitimate are different things—and both pieces quietly assume otherwise […]

absolutely wild that the news that dutch gas prices rose by 30% in a single day did not even manage to crack the top 5 most read stories like, how? how did we fuck up our information ecosystem this badly?

Everything will happen all at once

that on day 5 of war everyone is back discoursing about AI is an interesting datapoint that people are much more worried about the impact of AI than about an energy crisis

Fairphone put out a document that takes a holistic look at the environmental impact of electronics. Everything detailed by component, material, process, etc. Really interesting for those looking to dig deeper […] [Original post on mas.to]

its insane how quickly and badly the info environment is degraded regarding the Current Situation in the middle east

I will be interviewed on BBC Radio Wales' Breakfast program tomorrow (Friday) at 745am with Oliver Hides and Megan Davies - to talk about Tŵt Cymru, the Social Web, and how it's different than the big tech platforms. I will now work on condensing all of that into a five minute interview 😃 […]

sure this is all very bad for activitypub but this is truly amazing content

https://nation.cymru/news/welsh-social-network-twt-launches-new-app/ @NationCymru bringing the most important news 😉

What does a Discord replacement look like, and how might the open social web play a part? @laurenshof looks at what needs to happen — different apps built on the same protocols, active collaboration to make sure it all fits together — and how that's already fundamental to the Atmosphere and […]

jack dorsey discourse hitting the timeline

RE: https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/116048181884367592 the meta-problem, that a well-meaning actor does not feel comfortable in the knowledge the 'indexable' flag can actually be treated the way it says on the label actually a massive problem for fedi

ohhh interesting, activitypub on an atproto pds https://github.com/msonnb/fedisky

I have deeply mixed feelings about #ActivityPub's adoption of JSON-LD, as someone who's spent way too long dealing with it while building #fedify#activitypub Part of me wishes it had never happened. A lot of developers jump into ActivityPub development without really understanding JSON-LD, and honestly […]

Anthropic doing art now

how had i missed this earlier, insane Burial track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rsJAJ_ya-U

I love early medieval art so much

@HolosSocial is one of the coolest activitypub projects, and shows that the network has an incredible amount of growth potential still by exploring new primitives https://holos.social/how-it-works

sometimes wallstreetbets actually finds interesting stuff being the major news outlets talk about it. this time its about the worlds most biggest TikTok star Lame doing an extremely shady deal for his likeness for 1 billion dollar […]

If you’re a @phanpy fan using an iPhone or iPad, and you’re in the EU or Japan (where @altstore PAL is available), good news 👀 I’ve made a native iOS build that you can install right now through AltStore PAL! It's called... iPhanpy. It’s still Phanpy at its […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

lol lemmy.world does not like it when you talk about both mastodon and bluesky in the fediverse community, post with my article got deleted without any notification https://piefed.social/c/fediverse/p/1695350/fr-150-on-ice-verification-and-presence-as-harm

"The case of ICE shows two unresolved problems that will only intensify as the ecosystem grows: how to deal with abusive behaviour that happens outside of the app (...)and how in a world where fascism is a real and existential threat, harms on social networks have evolved from not only being […]

Toch wel fijn dat ook de landsadvocaat het nu bevestigt. Het maakt geen reet uit dat je een afspraak hebt met Microsoft dat je spullen op een datacenter in de EU komen te staan. De lange arm van de Amerikaanse wet komt tot in de polder […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]

13000 echte bezoekers inmiddels. Er was wat aandacht uit de media maar iedereen is afgehaakt helaas. Te technisch. En zo zijn we in deze situatie gekomen overigens, niemand wil het erover hebben. Lijst is ondertussen stuk langer en enger […]

fun questions to ask that you really dont want to know the answer to: do the banking stress tests in Basel 3 account for geopolitical crises or only financial crises

Ok, op basis van reacties hier en via de mail een *beginnetje*. Veel meer reacties & correcties zijn zeer welkom! https://berthub.eu/draft-klad-tijdelijk-draft/dashboard-amerikaanse-afhankelijkheden.html

slightly worrying that virtually all financial models assume us treasuries to be risk free, while at the same time were aiming the trade bazooka now at the us

Reading the "Everything in Moderation" newsletter and I see links to journalism by the New York Times, Tech Policy Press, the Atlantic, and a certain @laurenshof - lovely to see you in such fine company!

Ik kan gewoon niet meer - net gehoord dat een van de allergrootste verwerkers van privégegevens binnen de Nederlandse overheid druk bezig is met zijn totale migratie naar Microsoft Azure. En de mensen die het tegen zouden kunnen houden worden buitengesloten & […] [Original post on mastodon.nl]
