@Mastodon is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform. In late 2022, the team decided to send sign-ups directly to their server in order to make onboarding more straightforward. But that didn't align with the promise of decentralization. Here, Community Director @haubles explains the new approach to server recommendation, along with some other ways Mastodon is helping build community.

Individual heterogeneity
- in #climate activism
- in the #gopher
- in The #Lisp Community
- My idea of sharing conditions/handlers rather than programs
Cf the fully intended homogeneity from LLMs.

I'm so glad NVDA, Narrator, Orca, VoiceOver, TDSR, and Fenrir exist. I'm so, so glad JAWS is not the only desktop screen reader, and that FS did not persue JAWS for Mac.
I'm so glad that NVDA not only supports addons, but shows them off with the addon store! I'm so glad that NVDA is so inescapably popular that even big corporations support them, like Google Docs and Microsoft Office and countless others that say in their documentation that NVDA is supported.
Last month, job boards for actors were flooded with ads looking for people to record “conversations, character voices, and natural speech to help train AI systems," for a project by Microsoft. Payment was orders of magnitude more than a normal acting gig — up to $80,000, where a national ad campaign for a big brand might ordinarily pay $6,000. @404mediaco's Rosie Thomas spoke to voice actors about the "Faustian bargain" of accepting such roles. "You're still taking away tomorrow's meal because they're offering you a little bit more,” says Katie Clark Gray.

Flock Leaked Cops’ License Plate Searches via DuckDuckGo, Bing
Flock appears to be leaking tons of law enforcement vehicle queries and possible user data. Data publicly visible in search result URLs includes: license plate state and numbers, make, model, color, identifiers such as ‘window stickers’ and ‘top rack,’ case number, and more.

LinkedIn is using invasive techniques to fingerprint your browser. Together with its understanding of your identity and professional history, it has the ingredients for an incredibly detailed profile. #Technology https://werd.io/linkedin-is-illegally-searching-your-computer/
Soo. I think that the #worldModel #ontology stuff is about as close as the world is going to get to saying #lambdaMOO #programming people
are and have always been completely right about the #future, #technology, reality and #vr and living in, reasoning about, building and extending this reality.

If you will forgive the example, Lecun quitting Facebook to work on World Models instead is where we are.

To dramatically increase the amount of energy available to power artificial intelligence, the Trump administration is rewriting thousands of pages of nuclear power regulations while downplaying safety issues and focusing on industry incentives.

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined forces with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
If you’re not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.
This is a solid path forward for small tech.

The topic on this one is low-tech ways you can limit the mining of your personal data and make electronic surveillance on you more difficult to achieve.
So... a fun one.
