In-reply-to » I don’t think calling the various PHP files making up “Timeline” a “Yarn pod” is accurate.

The only reason that Yarn was ever referred to as a pod was because it supported multiple users.

In-reply-to » its important to see clearly: the rejection of mastodon for bluesky is not a rejection of the desire to be free of our corporate overlords; its a rejection of white bros controlling digital spaces. sit with that

@cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org What do you mean by this?

eugen and his interlocutors have had immense power with which to challenge twitter but their racial and cultural and ideological insularity prevented them from using i

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.

@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):

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”.

Ya know, like how yarn is stable 🤣

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:

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

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Hmmm

very convincing from an expert !

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.

i don’t know what to believe anymore 🤣

The Australia Labor government, Albanese and the honourable Michelle Rowland federal member for parliament and communications minster are fucking clowns. It’s stupid shit like this that’s the real problem with “big tech” social media platforms. These morons just simply don’t understand basic economics and basic business.

Why would a company like Meta, X and TikTok give up a large multi-billion dollar segment of the market. That is, young children from the ages of ~3 to 16 (yes kids these days can use a computer or device from a pretty young age!)

The whole masquerade of “online saftey” and the new Australia legislation of the Online Safety Act 2021 is complete and utter bullshit.

You wanna fix this whole cybercrime and cyber bullying that goes on (which btw if you understood how these fucking platforms worked in the first place, you’d realise drives up engagement on the platforms by abusing human emotional and psychological weakness), then ban and make illegal with multi-Billion dollar fines the following:

  • Profiting off data collected by users on your platform(s)
  • Categorizing users on your platform and performing A/B tests
  • Targeting users (of any age) for advertising

In fact just ban targeted advertising period.
