I can't help but laugh at the note about small start ups lead by 19-20 YOs succeeding with millions of dollars by 'partnering well' and so on.
The success or failure of these AI companies seems almost entirely driven by the amount of Venture Capital thrown at them. A company like Perplexity, with practically zero product, having been formed less than 5 years ago, but being able to put up $35 billion in an offer to buy google chrome... I can't help but suspect that a big part of it is google handing perplexity a pile of money via "Venture Capitalist" screens, to help offload Chrome to mitigate their regulatory monopoly problems. But whatever the details, them having that pile of money is sure as shit not a matter of having a good product / partnering with other industries well.

General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
I'm away from my desk for the next few days and so I'll likely be posting more open ended discussion questions.
Recently I've been thinking more about the decline of forums of yesteryear and how hosting a forum has always been rather niche.
That got me thinking about how one of Reddit's "killer features" was that just anybody could create a subreddit. The same could be said about Facebook groups as well.
You don't get that with forums, only the admin can create categories/forums, and by extension that usually limited the rise of general interest boards, and more towards niche topic-focused boards. It also meant that basically every board had a "general discussion" board or "random" board.
Would there be interest in NodeBB supporting something like this... Basically, the ability for anyone to set up a category and instantly moderate it, and build your own sub community inside a community? Does this ruin the magic of forums?

Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club NodeBB publishes the ActivityStreams "Article" type, which Mastodon current doesn't have good support for.
One way around it is to send summary
with the full text... but then some other software thinks it's an uber long content warning. There's no winning :sweat_smile:
I think this should be reported to GoToSocial devs, because they can use name
as content warning for Article
objects.
Maybe there is already issue for that, but I couldn't find it

### Describe the bug with a clear and concise description of what the bug is. * Mastodon in the short-to-medium term is considering broader support for non-`Note` object types, as part of [FEP-b2b8](https://w3id.Codeberg.org
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club respectfully there is no other way to get an Article object ingested by Mastodon without being munged without shoving it all into summary
.
Summary should contain a truncation probably, but other than that it's GtS that is "doing it wrong".
Btw, other threadiverse platforms, like lemmy and py-fed, don't have this issue on my end, where I could follow them because they support authorised fetch that is. I wonder how do they do it? or...hmm, maybe they don't work properly on mastodon while they do on gts?
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club I'm sorry I got a bit salty about it.
Basically if Mastodon were not in the equation we would send an Article with a name
and no summary
at all. Threadiverse implementations handle that perfectly already.
GtS actually did implement the Mastodon behaviour! Content warnings were their thing (afaik), done by adopting summary
as the CW. GtS followed suit but applied this to all objects, not just notes. So in this case GtS went a bit further is all.
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
esoteric_programmer@social.stealthy.club Mastodon would show the title and URL, and the content would be excised out.
Which I suppose is so fine insofar that sometimes long form content is best read on the originating site, but end users want their content read natively on Mastodon 🙂
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
@julian So in other words, if an Article-type object has a summary, Mastodon discards the title, shows the summary and links to the original, and if it doesn't have a summary, Mastodon shows the title and links to the original?
Its "traditional" behaviour since ca. 2017 was that it either showed the title and the link or, in the absence of a title, only the link with zero context, and when there was a summary, it used the summary as a content warning.
I'm still not sure whether Mastodon is limited by all interfaces available for it only being geared towards old-school plain-text microblogging and incapable of handling fully formatted HTML content, or rather by the devs' stubborn unwillingness to let anything in that's too much not old-school plain-text microblogging.
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu Mastodon shows the title, summary, and adds a link.
It's as good as it'll get and quite a ways from where it used to be.
Re: General interest mega-boards and forum sustainability
This is an excellent idea, as demonstrated by the fact that many self-created communities (≈categories) on Lemmy have achieved significant global success. However, Lemmy's implementation is unsatisfactory and needs to be adjusted. I am the administrator of a Lemmy instance as well as a NodeBB instance, and I must admit that at the height of Lemmy's development, we never allowed autonomous community creation. This was due to some issues that arose with mastodon when homonymous communities and users existed. It was also because it was impossible to implement an approval process or ensure that the quality of the communities met the instance's standards. For this reason, the process for creating communities by users consisted of a request from the registered user and a creation reserved for administrators.
What I would like to see in NodeBB is the ability to create communities, but keep them in a sort of "limbo," a "section" where new communities remain until they reach acceptable quality levels for the instance's standards.
This is in addition to the entire user credit system, which I imagine could also be set up to achieve a suitable score for building a community.
Perhaps I'm asking too much, but NodeBB's development has been so impressive so far that I wouldn't be surprised if you could implement a feature like this.

Thoughts on HOPE_16
I’m on the train back to Montreal from New York, where I attended HOPE_16 over the weekend. I wanted to capture some thoughts while they were fresh, even though they might not be fully formed.
HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) is a technology and information security conference sponsored by 2600 Magazine. The SWF had two points of presence at the event this year: I gave an hour-long talk about the Fediverse which was streamed live. We also hosted the Fediverse Village, which turned out to be mostly a booth in the non-profits area of the vendors floor.
We had people streaming by all day long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I had thought the Village was going to be more like a hang-out room, so I was caught off guard on prep, but I put out all the ActivityPub and Social Web Foundation stickers I had, covers for the ActivityPub book, and a stack of CoSocial.ca stickers to boot. But there was a definite stone soup aspect to the village area: people brought by schwag for Fediverse software like WriteFreely, instances like GardenState.social and Masto.nyc, and projects like DWeb.
I’d hoped to have more structured discussions, including a meetup for Fediverse governance and a hackathon. But it turned out to be a lot more loosey-goosey than I expected, and most of the weekend was spent talking to other Fediverse fans, and helping people who came up to the booth to ask about the Fediverse.
I think I expected because of the level of technical expertise that was shown at the event that we’d be speaking to only true believers. But there were many people there who hadn’t heard of the Fediverse, and who were excited to try it out. One thing that struck me that was an advantage for these people over commercial social networks was the option to get out from under the “real names” policies of many platforms. It’s hard to remember that the alternative to the Fediverse that most people are familiar with are services that require a real-looking legal name to be used, and force you to send a scan of a government ID if they’re at all suspicious.
The other thing that struck me was how many people came to the booth saying that they’d registered for a Mastodon account at some point, and were really excited to get it reactivated, but forgot which server it was on and didn’t want to register for another. I think that’s a real pain point for a lot of people — and one we should do better at solving.
I plan to come back to HOPE next year. I’d love to have more schwag for Fediverse software, services, and platforms. I’d like to have a way to get people signed up and onboarded for the Fediverse right at the table. And I’d like to have some more formal get-together events. There are spaces to meet at HOPE if you know how to set it up — I’m going to try to use them better next time.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Fediverse Village, my talk, or just talked to me around the HOPE event. I was energised by the people and the technology that was happening, and I look forward to engaging again.

Come cambio da LMDE a Mint "vanilla"?
Scusate la domanda da newbie, spero di non evocare l'odio che hanno avuto nei miei confronti alcuni membri di lemmy.ml, ma sono molto nuovo come utente stabile su Linux.
Al mio primo approccio, a Maggio, mi è stato consigliato di installare non Linux Mint, bensì LMDE per prendere le distanze da Ubuntu etc.
Ora vedo che nel mio caso specifico ho alcune ragioni per non essere su Debian:
1) sono un utente molto nuovo e mi piacerebbe essere su una distro per la quale posso ottenere nei forum il miglior e più numeroso supporto possibile da parte della comunità
2) da quello che ho capito su LMDE lavorano molte meno persone che su Linux Mint
3) ho visto alcuni video su Debian 13 e ho capito che non fa parte della filosofia della distro inserire il supporto più recente per l'hardware, soprattutto Nvidia, e io ho un computer costruito per il gaming e con il quale mi piacerebbe continuare a giocare e a fare altre cose con la GPU etc.
Per questi motivi vorrei passare a Linux Mint, ma vorrei farlo nel modo più indolore possibile.

Mi potete aiutare a capire il modo migliore di passare da LMDE6 a Mint "vanilla" mantenendo il più possibile?
La mia home al momento occupa meno di 40 GB, quindi potrei salvarne i contenuti sul disco per il gaming per adesso, ma non so se è una buona idea.

Ottimo! Mi potete spiegare come si fa questa cosa della home separata?
Cioè, io potrei creare una partizione sullo stesso disco o su un altro e copiarci dentro i contenuti di home, ma come faccio a configurare il sistema per puntare lì?

Iscrizione alla Blind LGBT pride international
Questo è una specie di annuncio: “PlusBrothers il mondo positivo” si è iscritto a “Blind LGBT Pride International”, @BPI un’organizzazione nata in America e presente in tutto il mondo, che si occupa di LGBT+ e disabilità visiva.
Io sono @elettrona la responsabile di burocrazia e pubbliche relazioni per il blog PlusBrothers; il polo (HIV) negativo dell’atomo.
Insieme a @gifter il polo (HIV) positivo e autore di molti racconti su questo sito, abbiamo colto l’opportunità di iscriverci a questa comunità che sembra l’unico punto di riferimento per persone LGBT+ cieche e ipovedenti, in tutto il mondo.
Io da sola, o tutti e due, faremo del nostro meglio per discutere e mettere in atto azioni concrete per contrastare lo stigma su HIV, molto più pesante se hai problemi di vista, perché intorno ci sono un sacco di ostacoli.
Li ho vissuti personalmente in passato, essendo stata partner di un uomo che vive con HIV. E una di queste barriere è il test che, se hai una disabilità visiva, non è così anonimo come lo è per gli altri. Sei, inevitabilmente, osservato.
La nostra speranza è di lavorare in sinergia con un’intera comunità, perché prendere iniziative da soli non porta da nessuna parte.
Come primo ma non unico esempio, ci sono i test HIV fai da te.
Sembrano molto difficili da fare senza aiuto di un vedente, e i risultati soprattutto, sono disponibili solo visivamente – causando un importante problema di riservatezza.
Ogni persona, indipendentemente da condizione sensoriale o identità, ha il diritto di vivere la propria salute riproduttiva e sessualità in modo sicuro e appropriato.
Andiamo avanti, e vediamo come questa realtà potrà aiutarci ma soprattutto come noi potremmo aiutare loro.

The road to artificial general intelligence
The road to artificial general intelligence spans three key developments: current AI capabilities, the path to AGI, and the potential leap to superintelligence.
Today's artificial narrow intelligence (ANI) excels at specific tasks but fails at simple problems humans solve easily. As Sam Altman of OpenAI notes, AGI-like properties are "coming into view," while Dario Amodei of Anthropic predicts some form of "powerful AI" could emerge as early as 20261.
The path to AGI involves three main approaches: reverse engineering the human brain, simulating evolution through genetic algorithms, and creating self-improving AI systems. Hardware advances are keeping pace - by 2025, affordable computers may match human-level processing power of 10 quadrillion calculations per second2.
Once AGI emerges, an "intelligence explosion" could quickly follow through recursive self-improvement, potentially leading to artificial superintelligence (ASI) thousands of times smarter than humans. This superintelligent AI would have unprecedented capabilities, from controlling matter at the atomic level to potentially solving humanity's greatest challenges2.

I'm agreeing w/ you that stock price is irrelevant here, and that's what the video opens with. The market is unhappy w/ Apple because they're delivering essentially what people claim to want: a solid product with steady improvements w/o anything crazy. Microsoft, on the other hand, is delivering what the market wants, which is shoving AI into everything.
I guess I don't understand why the video is relevant to the average user, who doesn't really care about innovation and instead wants a consistent experience.
I highly doubt there is a user that truly does not care for innovation. If there is a better product for the same price, who wouldn't buy it.
More importantly, the impact is not just innovative features but security, price of ownership and reliability. Apple managed to "innovate" themselves into a position where they are obstructing data rescue on Macs and iPhones. That's the kind of thing you may not be thinking about when buying but may greatly regret not having when you need it.

Russia’s war against Ukraine

Russian strike on Kharkiv kills 3, including toddler, injures 17 as Zelensky arrives to Washington to meet with Trump. Russia launched a wave of missile and drone attacks against Ukrainian cities late on Aug. 17, mere hours before President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet for peace talks with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
‘Negotiation can begin where the front line currently stands’ — Zelensky says ahead of meeting with Trump. “We need real negotiations, and that means they can begin where the front line currently stands. The line of contact is the best line for negotiations,” Zelensky wrote on social media following a meeting with members of the so-called “coalition of the willing.”
Trump says no NATO path or Crimea return for Ukraine as Zelensky comes to Washington for peace talks. Zelensky cautioned that any new deal must prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from using concessions as a “springboard” for another attack, citing Russia’s seizure of Crimea in 2014.
Top European leaders to join Zelensky for Trump talks. According to the German government, the discussions will cover the state of peace efforts, security guarantees, territorial questions, continued support for Ukraine, and maintaining sanctions pressure.

Trump-Putin summit as Russia advances in Donetsk Oblast | Ukraine This Week
From Crimea to Donbas, Russia’s “peace” has always meant more war. We’re here in Ukraine to give the world a reality check. Support independent journalism in this critical moment.
Human cost of Russia’s war
Russian attacks kill 5, injure 11 across Ukraine over past day. The Air Force said Russia launched one Iskander-M ballistic missile and 60 Shahed-type attack drones and drone decoys overnight on Aug. 17.
General Staff: Russia has lost 1,069,950 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022. The number includes 900 casualties Russian forces suffered just over the past day.
International response
US officials provide contradictory statements on security guarantees, fueling uncertainty. In comments to various media networks on Aug. 17, Russia envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the outcomes stemming from the Trump-Putin meeting, providing differing accounts of the progress made towards providing Kyiv with security guarantees.
Russia seeks ‘Ukraine’s surrender, not peace,’ Macron says ahead of talks with Trump. “I don’t believe (Russian President Vladimir) Putin wants peace, Macron told reporters after co-chairing a meeting of the coalition of the willing. “I believe he wants Ukraine’s surrender.”
‘International borders cannot be changed by force‘ — von der Leyen says in Brussels. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also backed “Article 5-like security guarantees” for Ukraine, saying the country must become “a steel porcupine, indigestible for potential invaders.”

tablet sudato sulle gambe poggiato
Dritta da ieri sera, ecco qui un’altra assurdità. Stavo sul divano, a giocare col tablet, e lo tenevo praticamente appoggiato dritto sulle gambe che tenevo in piedi sul divano stesso (la classica posizione da ragazza gatto casual gamer, insomma), senza cover… e a dire il vero si teneva, per bene, comodamente, fermo, senza scivolare, eppure […]

I played around with u/mttw_ edited build.yml and, added an additional update.yml
With these two workflows you should be able to clone SMP and build your own Windows and Mac versions by just running the build.yml action. Takes about 30 minutes to build.
**build.yml ** was changed so that it is run manually. I also adjusted how the attach job worked (as it was just being skipped). Now when build is finished it should attach them all as a new release in your repo. **You will need to edit this file with notepad and add your account name and repo name. **
**update.yml ** is just so that you can have your repo automatically update to the original SMP repo. It is set to check once a day. This is so when you run build.yml it is build the latest version.
Don't really want to link to my specific repo so I have put the yml files on fileroy

Why It's OK to Block Ads | Practical Ethics
Over the past couple of months, the practice of ad blocking has received heightened ethical scrutiny. (1,2,3,4) If you’re unfamiliar with the term, “ad blocking” refers to software—usually web browser plug-ins, but increasingly mobile apps—that stop …James Williams (Practical Ethics)

IMHO: Advertisment is another word for recommendation. While advertisment is seen as bad a recomendation isn't.
So what advertisment never made happen is making themself usefull to the consumer. Most consumer want maybe a !!! usefull recommendation !!! but not someone trying to force you to buy a certain product.
So what was the time before ads ... it never existet ... even before tv radio had advertisment. Even back in this day people hated the advertisment and did music recordings cutting the advertisment and talking out.
Some old people might remember press record ... press stop ... rewind a little bit ... and all of this.
The alternative was to pay alot of money for music ...
