The Internet is already dead.... I got to talk to a number of queer and/or punk young people (teens and 20s) who are fairly prodigious makers of media stuff, all print and music, are clever with phones and computers, but don't put their stuff on the net.
Not only has it become difficult and expensive (shit hosting services, all of them) but once they put things up on the net, none of the promises come true -- none of its features work really at all. Search engines are dead. Absolutely no fucking human is gonna do the promotional bullshit that doesn't even work any more anyways.
I had a world changing experience at this Pretty Gritty show. Sold/gave away 90 or so of the 100 anthologies (so didn't have to cart them home). But mostly networking or the human kind, preparing for the long haul in front of us.
This Internet has been declining in relevance for me for some time. Soft nothing on my websites are searchable, and I know they're cleanly indexable. And I too find little of interest these days.
Technology on and of itself is fucked fascist crap I've long lost interest in. So no loss there.
My short term future is in print, and in computing machinery I can put my hands on, and put into the hands of others.
The net has become a bag on the side. I still deeply love computing, the mechanization of thought, the rigor and experimentation, but this corporate shit im utterly done with.
appreciated, but not true yet in my experience, unless we let it be true. Open source all the way. Mastodon itself is evidence of this, and we put $2m into it. You will have to kill me to stop me from fighting for this, on behalf of everyone, not just the rich. I really mean that.
I'm not criticizing open source per se, in any way. I'm saying that it's not a social solution in and of itself for non-nerds to actually use the internet.
And I have no serious issues with the fediverse or its code.
People -- not generalizations, people I could but will not name here -- write zines and make 7-inch records and mail them to each other or swap them at face to face shows, sparse events due to the lack of physical accommodation -- tell me their presonal experiences and they are not good,
They effectively cannot use the internet, at all, for these things. Even at peak-ease times, say 1995 - 2010, creating HTML documents was fraught with complexity and difficult to grokk underlying paradigms.
I've spent *decades* working with people as smart as anyone here in the fedi, who persistently found and find the internet extremely unuseful to publish on. Read, sure, easy.
Even friends who managed to put up sites after great struggle, have abandoned them in the SEO era. And now that we have actual fascists -- all traded corps are fascist friendly at least in the US, and if you name some that are not, I'll respond that they simply have not, yet, and there is nothing in the structure f a corporation that can make them not growth/profit first.
The internet has not been much of a revolution for human works without mercantile interest.
And even arts organizations that do support artists and such balk at explicit material, fuck and shit and piss and true transgression; it's out for bigots to see and be hammered by.
I've had websites up since 1994, and helped countless folk make them and run them. It was never great, and it's definitely peaked.
@codinghorror I know of it only marginally; it does seem good.
Personally, I'm fine; I have a very privileged virtual host to use, and my history is weird anyway, lol, so I can't know. s But all of these smart people who posess far more than the gumption necessary to follow through on projects and collaboration and production, don't use it and don't seem to care. It's probably about 10 years too late to ask, and probably too late to fix, what with the industrial and political world going fascist.
This "digital native" bullshit is depressing -- it seems to refer to very young people glued to their phones doing minecraft and online games -- the complete opposite of creation, mostly, and containered where it is creating, and it's such a narrow skill to be kinda useless outside those venues. (We've got an 11 yr old on the compound and he's done all of their cohort's cliches, but has also been gently guided towards things that actually exist in the world too, and it seems to have worked. Also parents raised their kid to be kind, and THAT worked.)
I think the threshold is too high; too much overhead, to do shit on the net that is not already in someone's container.
@codinghorror if we want to survive as species, I need people to put down the fucking bong and learn tech. If not coding, then machining, if not that, something else. Nobody gets a waver. Nobody gets to be a smol bean vegan tenderqueer who keeps using Instagram.
Absolutely learning to use tools is fun -- for me, dunno others.
I got enough of that macho toughen-up bullshit as a kid, not putting up with it today. It stopped any further discussion down that path. If they had any idea what I do they'd know it wouldn't apply to me; and if it wasn't aimed at me, it was empty polemic, not requiring response.
The purpose of life is living, not being productive. Paradise stands in the shadow of swords and all that shit.
I definitely do not agree with toughen up. I find joy in the reflected happiness of others as we work together on a goal that matters.. for all of us 💛
Agreed! Diversity means we do not automatically understand what others do. Anyone working towards what they think makes the world better is a damn good thing.
Some years back Google switched from surfacing "useful stuff that matches keywords" to "the most popular pages with some of those keywords", and that pretty much broke any new website or useful site getting found. Dunno if it's been fixed (don't use Google anymore because it AI summaries everything, even more useless).
@maxime_andre @ai6yr My first thought would be you’d need a tiny fraction of the money that’s been incinerated in AI and data centers.
Suppose for a moment that we take one percent of all the money they’re burning and distribute it to libraries everywhere and give them basically the resources to hire enough processing power and connectivity and tell him go forth and build us a search system and let them figure out how to get it done
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @maxime_andre The thing is, these tools already exist. They don't need to be developed... They just need to not be wrapped in crap.
@ai6yr Up until a few weeks ago, the Google site was able to understand "-15 f to c" as: convert -15 degree f to degree c. They recently broke that... Still works on duckduckgo...
@ai6yr as you said, they used to deliver useful stuff, that also was correct. These days it is what is popular or brings them the most profit. Accuracy does not matter anymore ...
The Internet Archive should be a natural home for some of this stuff, but there needs to be some legitimate movement to redemocratize the Internet before it becomes another abandoned shopping mall you can’t skateboard in.

Ecco a sorpresa un'altra stronzata colossale di #YouTube (non nuova, in realtà, ma è credo la prima volta che mi capita come oggi) che ho dovuto subire stamattina, come se il solito mio carico non bastasse... 👹 Ho visto che NewPipe sul tablet mi dava errore ad estrarre i video, e allora boh... _sarà marcio lui_, ho pensato, _provo ad usare il browser_... e YouTube sul browser ben pensato di fare la stessa identica stronzata, però qui l'errore è chiaro ed insultante: "_ACCEDI PER CONFERMARE DI NON ESSERE UN ROBOT!!!_"... 🗡️🤬💣 GOOGLE, MA COME CAZZO SI FA??? Ma vi sembra una cosa normale pretendere di accedere per guardare qualsiasi video (non si tratta di video limitati ai minori o cose del genere), perché il vostro server di merda ha deciso che il mio indirizzo IP è marcio o qualcosa del genere? AOOOO, io la mattina mentre faccio colazione mi devo guardare YouTube, e voi vi dovete fare gli stracazzacci dei vostri!!! 🤮 Tra l'altro questo errore, è incredibile, ma è persistente... sia sul sito mobile che quello desktop di YouTube... addirittura negli iframe embeddati su altri siti, cosa che per me supera davvero l'assurdo, perché neanche le altre Big Tech fanno questo schifo! (E quindi no, usare Proxatore o Bing non è stato possibile.) 😵 Ancora più stranamente, però, di tutti i browser che ho sul tablet, su Firefox e solo su Firefox ha funzionato pur senza login... quindi lì ho potuto guardare un video alla fine... anche se è molto scomodo, perché il PiP è rotto lì, e la modalità split screen di Android è un troiaio, e io dovevo scrivere una nota nel mentre, e quindi è stato brutto, aaaa... 😭
Intanto, come se non fosse mai abbastanza, Google negli ultimi pochi giorni ha fatto l'ennesima stronzata... che non so se colpisce solo il mio indirizzo IP, ma temo di no, perché prima già lo faceva ad altri: 4 volte su 5, la pagina HTML dei video di YouTube è COMPLETAMENTE PRIVA DI METADATI UTILI... restituisce un'immagine generica, nessuna descrizione utile, e un titolo vuoto. 😐 ...Cioè, che cazzo? Nemmeno Meta fa questa porcheria, vaffanculo!!! Questo significa che è praticamente impossibile condividere un video qui in un post su Sharkey ed avere l'anteprima funzionante, ma così come è impossibile salvarmeli in un gestore di segnalibri, come faccio ormai da mesi e mesi. 😭 Qui in foto è come appaiono 'sti maledetti video su Shiori, quando il server restituisce i dati stronzi... e io devo stare lì a fare refresh del link finché non me la da buona! Oh miseria, oh Alphabeth di merda... sto davvero con le pezze nel culo ora, che manco posso catalogarmi in pace i video che consumo!!! 🤬 #YouTube
Cip e Ciop non mancano nemmeno qui, ma questo corto del 1950 è un'interessante e originale variazione sul tema. L'ambientazione, molto cara a Disney e ai suoi artisti, è la giusta occasione per riempire questo cartone di omaggi e camei interessanti.
A silhouette of a city skyline is visible against a vibrant, fiery orange and red sunset. The foreground consists of the dark roofs of buildings, with some trees and structures also appearing as dark shapes. A plane is flying in the upper portion of the image, appearing as a dark silhouette against the bright sky. The sunset sky features a dramatic gradient of colors, with darker reds at the top transitioning to brighter oranges near the horizon. There is no visible text in the image.

I am an ordinary person, but circumstances have turned my life into a daily battle. Cold, hunger, and fear have become part of our days. My children need safety… they need a roof to protect us and warmth so they can sleep without tears. Any donation, no matter how small, can change our lives and ease our pain. Please help us live with dignity. May God reward you 💔
Overnight, the Astrakhan gas processing plant in Russia was reportedly struck, triggering a large fire. Russian Defence Ministry claims it shot down 38 drones over Astrakhan Oblast during the same period.
Quiz del lunedì un po’ macabro: quanto tempo impiegherebbe per congelare completamente un corpo umano esposto allo spazio profondo, privo di protezioni come vestiti o tute spaziali?
La risposta esatta è “più di dieci ore”. Nel vuoto i corpi umani non esplodono né tantomeno congelano immediatamente, al contrario di quanto si vede in alcuni film di fantascienza.
Abbiamo la prova diretta che i corpi umani non esplodono quando vengono esposti al vuoto perché è quello che accadde nel 1971 all’equipaggio della Sojuz 11. Durante il distacco dalla stazione spaziale Saljut 1, si aprì per un errore nella procedura una valvola di scarico dell’aria e la navetta si svuotò completamente: i tre cosmonauti morirono per mancanza di ossigeno, ma i soccorritori che tentarono invano di rianimarli dopo l’atterraggio riferirono che “sembravano addormentati”.
D’altra parte, il congelamento richiederebbe molto più tempo di quanto si potrebbe pensare perché, anche se la temperatura di base dello spazio è poco sopra lo zero assoluto, la mancanza di aria fa sì che non si possa scambiare calore per convezione, ma soltanto per irraggiamento, cioè attraverso l’emissione di onde elettromagnetiche infrarosse, un processo fisico che alla temperatura del corpo umano è molto meno efficiente della convezione.
L’umidità superficiale del corpo umano evaporerebbe rapidamente, ma gran parte dell’acqua contenuta all’interno resterebbe intrappolata. Una volta che il corpo fosse arrivato a zero gradi Celsius, l’acqua rimasta all’interno dovrebbe lentamente cedere all’esterno il calore latente di fusione/solidificazione e gli strati esterni già congelati funzionerebbero da isolante, rallentando ancora di più il processo.
Se poi il corpo fosse esposto al Sole o a un’altra fonte di calore significativa, il congelamento diventerebbe ancora più lento o potrebbe non avvenire per niente.
Nonostante la realtà sia meno violenta dei film, se avete in programma una gita extra-atmosferica, indossate una buona tuta spaziale!
OK la cosa della mancanza di esplosione mi sorprende: sapevo che il congelamento avrebbe preso un sacco di tempo perché conosco i meccanismi fisici del raffreddamento, ma pensavo che ci sarebbe stata l'esplosione e quindi ho fotato per l'ultima opzione. A cosa è dovuta la mancanza di esplosione? Cioè, dove fallisce l'ipotesi alla base della miscredenza, che se non ricordo male era basata sulla questione della pressione interna vs pressione esterna?
@oblomov il fatto è che la cute umana è abbastanza robusta ed elastica per resistere alla differenza di pressione. Altro discorso sono per esempio i polmoni, che fanno una brutta fine.
ah m'era venuto un sospetto, ma con tutti i buchi che ci sono mi aspettavo comunque scene abbastanza splatter (tipo cervelli spremuti fuori dagli occhi, intestini espulsi e roba del genere), non certo “sembrava che dormissero”
No, per mancanza di spazio e di potenza del veicolo non avevano le tute spaziali, altrimenti sarebbero sopravvissuti. Per questo si può dire che l'esposizione al vuoto non fa danni clamorosi, almeno all'esterno. Altro discorso i polmoni.
@oblomov No, infatti, la realtà non è così splatter. Nel 1965 un astronauta americano fu esposto per errore al vuoto per 14 secondi durante un test e perse i sensi ma non riportò danni permanenti.
@andrea_ferrero Ah, ho capito il mio errore... Stavo considerando il corpo come una sfera uniforme e cadevo in una stima di meno di un minuto... 😂 La stratificazione mi riporta al comfort della risposta che avrai dato intuitivamente. Grazie per il trivia!
Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Monday. MrsD is out today, she has a walking group Christmas lunch following a walk, then this evening she is ballet dancing! I'm off to the shops again, the nest of tables she bought yesterday was so useful, she wants another set!
Have a great Monday, all contradictions aside. Have fun, lots of laughs, eat well. Take care.

This is my personal profile, I talk for myself; but I find a relevant hypocrisy on some "codes of conduct". During WordCamp where I was a speaker, I couldn't say the popular synonym of "testicle" in Venetian dialect because it could be considered obscene. No matter if in that specific context it was not referred to human body but to a Venetian bridge's architectural structure which is invisible to eyes, people even don't know it exists, but it's fundamental for the bridge's stability. It's the anchor-stone. I wanted to refer to that, talking about RSS feeds and the role they have. Well, I couldn't say that word so I changed the topic in "human brain is invisible to eyes but it's fundamental". However the meaning is not the same, because everyone knows about brain's existence. But not anchor-stones existence, and not RSS. That popular non-technical word would have impressed people more, I think. Even for a smile. But that's a taboo. On the other side, we have Mullenweg who defined "a CANCER" one of his competitors. No matter if there are several people with cancer, around the world. First Italian WordPress translator died of cancer in 2022. But a leader can freely talk that way without direct consequences? We have politicians all over the world who build entire campaigns, and their popularity, on hate speech. Dozens of newspapers earning on rage bait articles. So? The problem is a vulgar word placed in a non-vulgar context? #language #speaking #NoHateSpeech #bigots #WordPress
#CodeOfConducts do not exist to protect the weakest from harm, but to protect space's leaders from blame (and responsibility).
Without a #CoC, a community and its leaders are explicitly accountable for how they handle conflicts on a per case basis. With a CoC, leaders can exploit weak minorities to push their own agenda through a mostly uniform and conformist community.
Iow, CoC are designed to force a US-workspace like behaviour on people contributing for free, so that they are easier to manage (and exploit) as #FreeLabor.
But when you point this out, those same leaders will mount a rage mob against you.
That's why say #FOSDEM becomes a testimonial of companies that support a #genocide, like #Google or #Microsoft, %ak*n_ their money and let their employees to talk. And also why I'll never attend to one.
@giacomo I am not against code of conduct in general, you can not rule a public event without some common points. But I'm opposing to words filters. If you are smart/creative enough (and many leaders and politicians are), you can discriminate someone even without a single swear word. Say "you can't be blind, you make no mistakes while writing, grammar or typos" you are telling me I'm a fake, masking it as a compliment. And you even can tell me I thought bad because you had no intention to harm any way. In the end, no one is protected from hatred.
I’ve never thought about it this way, but it’s almost certain that my nonchalant default position about “does LLM training violate a social contract about credit in open source” is related to the baseline fact that I’ve devoted my entire life to open source and appear in (to a rounding error) zero CREDITS or AUTHORS files. My contributions have been stripped, but it wasn’t by AI.
@yoasif@mastodon.social @mcepl@en.osm.town both Matej and I have spent the overwhelming majority of our adult lives supporting open source in non-credited non-coding roles.
What’s totally conscious: that I’ve been explaining to lawyers, engineers, and students for 15 years that every device they own has an attribution file and to a rounding error no one, even the developers, ever reads them. Their original, noble, purpose has morphed into a box-checking exercise performed by multi-billion dollar corporations for their lawyers, not for developers. And that long predates Copilot.
To be clear, that’s super-problematic! But it’s not problematic because LLM; it’s problematic because the mechanism we invented in the 1970s and 80s to create human relationships didn’t survive the transition to modern, mega-complex, mostly-open systems. LLMs are at worst the moment where we had to collectively acknowledge that the emperor is clothed in unread READMEs.
If the purposes of a system is what it does, the AUTHORS/CREDITS are not a benefit for the people listed but rather a social function: an outsourced (poor) substitute for a functioning register of copyrights which would *limit* the universe of potential #copyright claims (and eventually be instrumental in a restoration of the "limited Times" in the Progress Clause).
@nemobis A bit of a tangent, but I have for years wanted someone to build better human-focused editor recognition for Wikipedia. Ironically (given this conversation) maybe I can finally build a mockup with Claude Code ;)
We sure need more experimentation there! What I liked the most about WikiTrust back in the day was that it would surface the authors of a passage in an article that caught your attention.
