@erlend Cool! I'm staying tuned. I've already read some of the backlog.

@erlend This is the kind of post you want to favorite but then it looks like you are cheering for the wrong side.

@zicklag yeah that’s pretty much my whole point: Bitcoin and its ilk is only “easy” insofar as we ignore its externalities, just like it’s easier to burn fossil fuels than to invent better forms of energy capture.

‘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”

@[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
