In-reply-to » Bluesky Says It Won't Train AI On Your Posts Bluesky, the social network surging in popularity, says it has "no intention" of training AI tools on users content. "The social network made the announcement on the same day that X (formerly Twitter) is implementing its new terms of service that allow the platform to use public posts to train AI," notes TechCrunch. From the report: "A number of artists and creators have made their home ... ⌘ Read more

@bender@twtxt.net thanks for this! Do you remember the numerous times that I have stated the nuances between distributed networks and decentralized networks? With Bluesky it’s even worse as the way they are operating building and maintaining their service, It’s more closer to centralized service than anything remotely close to what we would consider “decentralized”.

In-reply-to » @prologic what do we make of Labor's proposed social media minimum age ban, I.e ID verification, and the likes of Yarn? I haven't been able to find out exactly how far the legislation goes, but some have said it's broad enough to include any site that even has a comment section 🤔 but that could be FUD.

Btw the way, here’s a copy of the Email I sent to my Federal MP (Elizabeth Watson Brown):

@prologic@twtxt.net Cheers, mate, just saw this reply so thank you. And hope you are feeling better now!

I agree with what you say too. The whole thing is just an odd approach and can’t possibly be effective, all the while causing inconveniences or at worst, being plain weird and invasive like ID verification.

In-reply-to » Time to rotate three months into archive feeds again.

@bender@twtxt.net My made-up rule is to keep at least three full months in the main feed and when rotating, I create one feed per month.

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt There is no real recommendation I think. But if you hit half a MiB or so, it might be worth considering to rotate in order to keep the network traffic low. People with bad connectivitiy might appreciate it. I want to implement HTTP range requests in my client rewrite at some point in time (but first, it has to become kinda usable, though).

In-reply-to » The web is such garbage these days 😔 Or is it the garbage search engines? 🤔

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I think it’s worth looking at the Web Browser Timeline to really understand the history and derivation of web browsers over time. I agree that building a Web Browser is complicated and hard, but that’s only because of the expectations we place on web browsers today and the enormous set of features they now carry. Ultimately we’re still talking about one of the most powerful and simplest protocols ever invesnted, the Hypermedia Text Transport Protocol and Hypermedia Systems.

But that’s not what I meant when I said “The web is seemingly garbage these days”.

In-reply-to » The web is such garbage these days 😔 Or is it the garbage search engines? 🤔

Always has been. Web spec is too hard to implement your own web browser from scratch (nothing can, even Google and Apple, they forked KHTML). So if we not count forks we have only three browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari

Wanted to share that we’re so proud of our six year old son; after taking skating lessons himself, he taught me and my wife how to stop on skates today. He was so proud about that he could teach us something good. Enjoyed also playing table tennis with him in the park, even-though it got windy, we had fun and didn’t give up trying to have a decent game. And at the guided tour at the old hot-metal plant in Duisburg yesterday, he asked the best questions and could be the guide’s assistant - holding the flashlight.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de When looking closely in the woods, I can spot ants that are sized the width of a finger. Soldier ants are also often larger than the workers they protect. But yeah, most ants in our regions are relatively small. :-)

This pod is now using the index for archive twts instead of the old (naive) disk-based index with that results in millions of files over a long time 🤣

I occasionally use the last 5 filters:

  • Without replies
  • Hide Bots
  • Hide Feeds (which should be ‘Hide News”?)
  • Hide my Posts

According to Wikipedia Robert Deutsch is:

Robert Deutsch is an Israeli antiquities dealer, archaeologist, epigrapher, and numismatist. He is known for being accused of six forgery charges of several biblical archaeological artifacts in 2004.
