On the day that Trump announces that he'll remove sanctions from Russia, Vance says it's time to sanction Ukraine.

It's time for Americans to understand that Russia truly owns these guys completely.

The Republican Party welcomes foreign manipulation of democratic institutions in the United States, particularly by fascist Russia.

This is treason. But, the American judiciary and civil society are completely hopeless when it comes to dealing with treason.

they spent 60 years calling any social policy that helped workers a Russian conspiracy to destroy America. Now they love Russian dictators.

Socialism is what nazi criminals say to control you so they can steal the tax money for themselves. Nazis want socialism all to themselves.

Thank you to everyone for joining @LinuxSaloon tonight for our News Flight. It was a very enjoyable conversation.

Next week, we are going to talk about how our experience with @wavetermdev, an open-source, cross-platform, modern terminal.

Is there a white label, "preconfigurable" AP client already?

Usecase: a network of blogs in a single domain (say a wordpress multisite with activitypub preset) is set up for a trade union.

There's HQ, someones local branch and a few hundred other branches.

A new member of org gets a link to a client app with their account pre-configured, and set up to follow their branch and HQ, could see all other in the instance view.

The no-config part would be crucial.

I'm building #Emissary, which is pretty close to what you're describing.

It's a full #ActivityPub server and CMS that lets you build custom applications using just HTML and JSON configs. emissary.dev

Right now, I'm building bandwagon.fm on Emissary, focused on musicians, and am planning to follow through with a custom apps for artists, blogs, event registrations, etc..

If you have bandwidth, I'd love to talk more about your ideas. I think Emissary could handle it.





You're already here! I'm already here! Yaay, we win! Keep on Posting everyone. #activitypub

The first and maybe only question that should be asked during the Tuesday, September 10, 2024 presidential debate is:

Do you believe that all candidates for POTUS with a #felony conviction in the last 3 years should be disqualified? Why or why not, and explain how your views on this issue have evolved in the past 10 years.



We're so fucked.

"Our analysis of a selection of questionable GPT-fabricated scientific papers found in Google Scholar shows that many are about applied, often controversial topics susceptible to disinformation: the environment, health, and computing. The resulting enhanced potential for malicious manipulation of society’s evidence base, particularly in politically divisive domains, is a growing concern."

BTW I'm guessing this problem is even worse in China. Where there have long been questionable attitudes towards academic publishing, influenced by decades of the CCP's MiniTru approach to information. Also where training MOLE (Machine Operated Learning Engines) is even more hyped and funded, and less regulated, unless for MiniTru purposes.

"China continues to have problems with research integrity and has the highest number of retractions of any country due to plagiarism, invented data and fake peer review, but is seeking to improve this by removing cash incentives and use of plagiarism software."
