In-reply-to » an interesting observation in a post twitter reality is how services that are sprouting up to claim some of the refugees are setting themselves up as closed gardens. without the option to federate with other services. like spoutable, counter.social, post, clubhouse and such.

@xuu So gated as in not open to anyone else? 🤔 Not even open publicly?

In-reply-to » DEEPL now has a Writer https://www.deepl.com/write - very nice, fast and available in multiple languages. Write better texts, instantly.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net The point @abucci@anthony.buc.ci is making here is just how easily we are willing to give up our personal thoughts and minds to train other companies AI models.

It is straight out of the page of big tech companies that profit off all your data using targeted advertising and selling that data to the highest bidder.

It seems we (in general) have not learned any lessons from the past ~20yrs of this tactic used on the general population 🤦‍♂️

There is (I assure you there will be, don’t know what it is yet…) a price to be paid for this convenience.

In-reply-to » BC appeals court handed down a stupid, terrible decision, rejecting whistleblower Linkletter's defense for linking to freely available materials from the ed-tech surveillance giant Proctorio

@marado@twtxt.net

It also allows instructors and other personnel to watch the students and even take control of their computer. This is called “remote invigilation.”

Oyherwise known as a Trojan horse or virus that can control your computer 🤦‍♂️

In-reply-to » The EU's Proposed CRA Law May Have Unintended Consequences for the Python Ecosystem (as well as the entire free software movement).

@marado@twtxt.net Does the latest version of the CRA still have this:

In order not to hamper innovation or research, free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation. This is in particular the case for software, including its source code and modified versions, that is openly shared and freely accessible, usable, modifiable and redistributable. In the context of software, a commercial activity might be characterized not only by charging a price for a product, but also by charging a price for technical support services, by providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services, or by the use of personal data for reasons other than exclusively for improving the security, compatibility or interoperability of the software.

In-reply-to » 👋 Q: How do we feel about forking the Twtxt spec into what we love and use today in Yarn.social in yarnd, tt, jenny, twtr and other clients? 🤔 Thinking about (and talking with @xuu on IRC) about the possibility of rewriting a completely new spec (no extensions). Proposed name yarn.txt or "Yarn". Compatibility would remain with Twtxt in the sense that we wouldn't break anything per se, but we'd divorce ourselves from Twtxt and be free to improve based on the needs of the community and not the ideals of those that don't use, contribute in the first place or fixate on nostalgia (which doesn't really help anyone).

Some good points guys 👌 Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

In-reply-to » On LinkedIn I see a lot of posts aimed at software developers along the lines of "If you're not using these AI tools (X,Y,Z) you're going to be left behind."

I generally don’t buy into hype myself anyway, didn’t buy into the “Cloud” hype, nor the “Cryptocurrency” hype, and I’m sure as hell not buying into the so-called “AI” hype. Wake me up when I can run this shit™ on my own GPU-powered machines 🤣 – As a vision impaired person, the only use-case I’ve found that’s remotely useful for me is to summarize text. Problem though? I’m not going to use OpenAI’s service to do this. Why? Privacy! Fuck me, do you really think I’m just going to dump shit™ into your API endpoints?! (or Web App).

One of these days I’d like to build a small GPU cluster, but I haven’t decided how yet. Cluster or RPI(s) or a more expensive cluster of 1RU pizza boxes with NVIDIA Tesla cards, or a 1RU 4-node NVIDIA AGX Jetson cluster?

In-reply-to » We could ask them? But on the counter would bukket or jan6 follow the pure twtxt feeds? Probably not either way... We could use content negotiation as well. text/plain for basic and text/yarn for enhanced.

@xuu That’s hilarious that you mention content-negotiation as yarnd does this, and has done for quite some time, though I suspect it achieves nothing 🤣 (it does for AP, Twtxt, etc, though…) – The original spec didn’t even mention content-types or any of the sort, so I very much doubt any older clients (just twtxt the ref client?) even attempts to do this? 🤔

In-reply-to » @shreyan Thanks for your encouraging words 🤗

@funbreaker@twtxt.net The original spec was very lax on specifics and details. I guess it was never intended to be used as a decentralized social media ecosystem 😆 Which has been made quite clear by the few that are strongly outspoken and don’t want this. 🤦‍♂️ and/or unsupportive of any other uses (despite the open spec and “fork me” badge 🤣)
