"What I argue for is trying to avoid using #intoxicants in high volume too often. So, it’s not that I imagine that we’re never going to use intoxicants. We wouldn’t be human. And it’s a deep part of our culture, and it can be neutral or even beneficial. But we have to really be careful about […]
I highly recommend reading the blog post that went into a lot of detail explaining the thinking behind the changes (which are very much not set in stone!), and watching @imanijoy's talk from @fossdesign, if you haven't already.
Both are very insightful, and remind us that there are real people […]

It's not getting enough attention that the Trump administration has banned the sale of ALL WiFi routers made outside of the US. It's one of the first steps required to control Americans' use of the Internet, to spy on what you're doing online, to suppress information they don't want you to see […]

I wouldn't recommend that Dems go pure nihilist about process, like the right. Some respect for process, or at least the shared illusion of respect for process, is necessary for democracy. I like rule of law & if both sides respected it, that would be the end of the story. But they don't. So Dems...

A modified vintage magazine ad showing six laptops from the late 1980s connected by a red cable to the a portable printer in the lower right corner, alongside a kitten playing with a ball of red yarn. Logos of various fediverse platforms have been superimposed on the laptop screens: Misskey, Peertube, Loops, Hubzilla, Friendica, and Mastodon.
A modified vintage magazine illustration showing multiple desktop computers floating among clouds in an open sky, connected to each other by thin golden lines forming a network, with one large computer in the foreground emitting a burst of colorful rainbow light rays from its screen. The screens of the computers display logos of various fediverse platforms: BookWyrm, Hubzilla, Pleroma, PieFed, Misskey, Peertube, Loops, Friendica, and Mastodon.

OpenAI kills their Sora Video generator.
Which isn't that surprising TBH:
- it is massively expensive to run
- the results were not that usable
- it was a lawsuit generator
So in order to keep the numbers looking better till their IPO at the end of this year they are starting to cut shit. Just […]
