our station in orbit still experiences ~0.9g. it’s not clear if gravity experiments would be at all easier on it

the issue is where to go?

codeberg, self-hosted forgejo, gitlab, still-beta sourcehut, tangled? github was “the git community” and now it’s fracturing—you need accounts everywhere, you can’t easily discover neat projects

i like tangled if only because it’s built on atproto which emphasizes ownership and transferability of identity: something that would make the move off github so much easier

Whittaker’s background is in AI research. She talks a lot (and has been for a while) about the privacy implications of AI.

I’m not sure of any one thing that could be considered to prompt it. But a large one is the wide-deployment of models on devices with access to private information (Signal potentially included)

Signal doesn’t have anything to do with Confer besides sharing a founder (who is no longer involved at Signal)

it's easier to mandate font than to excise all processes within the fed bureaucracy that result in these.

images being digital have no bearing on OCR ability

i’m not sure how end-of-life it will actually be because rosetta is used in apple/container and seems to be a large part of the virtualization stuff apple’s built in the last few years

- they don’t need to do anything to conform to your arbitrary organization choices

- hashes are as long or short as you need them to be

- publication timestamp is in every ebook’s metadata, is almost guaranteed to be unique, monotonically increases, and has actual semantic meaning compared to an isbn or oclc

the ebook identifier uniquely identifies every ebook. standard ebook ebooks use the url as their unique identifier

MASQUE[0] is the protocol for this. Cloudflare already uses masque instead of wireguard in their warp vpn.
