‘Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life’ by @ntnsndr also comes to mind.https://nathanschneider.info/books/governable-spaces/(Any Erin+Nathan collab in the works? We desperately need More Governance)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41991291Self-interested hyperbole aside, I think that’s a laughably low number for what is now effectively an ‘AI Company’. I’m sure >95% of Google employees use Google (well, at least until recent years).If this stuff really works as well as these companies claim it does, wouldn’t their entire workforce excitedly be using these tools already?cc @pluralistic @baldur @Mer__edith#ai #GenAI #aibubble

@erlend Hmmm, this is a bit weak. There is only one Internet Protocol (that matters), and we're all (arguably) better for that. The rag-bag of technologies needed to get information to display on a web browser is more a hindrance than a help.The world progresses by expansion and contraction. Expansion is the push to new territory, contraction the refinement and survival-of-the-fittest. Ultimately everything on this planet is... organic, including, and especially, progress.

@robin @kissane @ntnsndr (dunno if any of you are podcast ppl but..) I think you’ll all like this one:https://pca.st/episode/2fe0ae65-6e11-4d75-889c-a17880437011“Most of what we think of as technological problems are really institutional problems”

Do what the AI cannot:prompt yourself and whoever wants to listen to Do Your Best Work today and every other day.#motivation

@ntnsndr yeeees! 🥳

@erlend @nlnetlabs @zicklag There’s this Python lib/cli: https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon

@erlend @kagihq Would love to know this. There should be some place we can all add ourselves to a master index, verified by a .well_known web page we host!

An emotional check-in for myself and those working alongside me.https://blog.erlend.sh/too-late

@jenniferplusplus yep, that is one of the very legitimate answers, and there are several!If I’m pointing any finger at all, it’s only pointed at myself. I have many good answers as well, as do my peers/collaborators.I don’t know what to call what I’m doing here other than “meditative venting”

@silverpill @arcanicanis @erlend @bnewbold all 4 of those answer talk past the questions:- if new methods are being invented all the time why does it matter how many of today's methods you support?- right but for what usecases is it justified to require non-https URIs OR any did method dereferencing mechanics, much less both?- that's a feature in some usecases, a bug in others, and not an explanation of why supporting didkey is important to extending AP and/or ATP- I've seen others

so @damon helped me understand that there are some more standard microblogging things that @activitypods doesn’t do yet.I wonder if @fedify could be used to help that along?@nextgraph combined with a community-oriented ActivityPods would make a really great platform for allow-list ‘archipelago networks’.https://writer.oliphant.social/oliphant/the-archipelago-an-island-network-in-practice

@[email protected] This, 100%. @[email protected] Please don't paint all fediverse software as underperformant trash, most of us write pretty decent software. For a member count in the "low thousands", real-time use you're looking at a tenth active at any given time, and that could be achieved with NodeBB with under $20 a month. Maybe less. Some tech influencers hopped on the train of thought that hardware will always get cheaper, and that that gives you an excuse to build shit software. They say these things knowing full well that it leaves smaller operators with huge bills, or end users with low-end devices with sub-par user experiences.

My top recommendation to the @Mastodon team and all other #Fediverse instances fighting the influx of spam: Learn from @codinghorror about the concept of Trust Levels and consider implementing it asap.https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/This is perhaps the most under appreciated feature of Discourse and I’m amazed it’s not more mainstream.While not necessary for an initial implementation, this system can also be applied to a federated environment, as put forth by @how https://meta.discourse.org/t/federated-reputation/203679
