Da alcuni giorni “Threads Moderation Failures” è in tendenza su #Threads. Diversi utenti hanno segnalato la limitazione o addirittura la chiusura degli account per aver pubblicato post su argomenti vietati dal social network. Sono stati anche rimossi o penalizzati alcuni post senza un chiaro motivo. Sembra quindi che i sistemi di moderazione automatica siano impazziti.

News and Politics are two of the most followed and read topics on Flipboard, and with the U.S. election just a few weeks away, we have a new feature to help you keep up with the day’s leading stories.

Now you can follow people from social networks in the fediverse, like Mastodon and Threads, so you can get your daily dose of news and political commentary from journalists and experts, alongside content from your favorite publishers.

Here’s a look at some of the people you can follow on Flipboard:

• Joseph Biden, President of the United States
• Ian Bremmer, political scientist and founder of Eurasia Group
• George Conway, conservative legal expert and co-founder of The Lincoln Project
• David French, legal expert and New York Times columnist
• Katie Harbath, public policy expert and CEO of Anchor Change
• Steve Herman, Voice of America’s chief national correspondent
• Molly Jong-Fast, host of the podcast Fast Politics and journalist at Vanity Fair
• Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States
• Joy Reid, host of The Reidout on MSNBC
• Olivia Troye, American national security expert

Here’s how you can find and follow them on Flipboard:

• Explore — Select the Search icon in the bottom navigation and check out the new Fediverse tab for a list of people to follow that post about a wide range of topics, including news and politics. Swipe left to the News tab for more accounts to follow, plus you’ll find editorial features and publishers to follow too.
• Search — Select the Search icon and type in the name or handle of the account you’d like to follow. You will see results in the new Fediverse Accounts section in All, Social and Profiles tabs.

Once you’ve followed accounts from Threads, Mastodon or other platforms in the fediverse, you will see their new posts in the Fediverse Activity carousel in your For You feed. If there is a profile that you never want to miss a post from, add their profile to the top of your Home carousel so you can easily keep up on their social sharing. (Note: The Fediverse Activity carousel will only update when there is a new post from a followed account.)

If your Flipboard account is already federated, you’ve got a few more features to enjoy:

For one, in addition to being able to follow accounts from the fediverse, you’ll also be able to comment on and like their posts. Having a federated account fully opens up your Flipboard experience and enables you to seamlessly interact with people across the fediverse.

And while you’ve been able to see your fediverse activity in your Flipboard notifications panel, now you’ll be able to follow and interact with people directly from this experience, making it easier to build connections. For example, if someone follows your profile in the fediverse, you can follow them back from Flipboard — it’s all interconnected.

These features are only available via the latest versions of Flipboard’s iOS and Android apps. And if you’re not federated on Flipboard but all this news is making you wish you were, you can request to federate your account here.

We hope you find new people to follow and inspiring content to explore. Also, be sure to follow The News Desk and The Politics Desk (if you aren’t already) for curated stories from Flipboard’s editors.

Thanks for keeping up with all the Flipboard and fediverse news through our blog. You can download the Flipboard app in the App Store and Google Play Store for free. Personalize it for the stories you’re interested in and curate your favorite articles, videos and podcasts into your own Flipboard Magazines.

Instagram and Threads moderation is out of control

"On Threads, the topic of “Threads Moderation Failures” is trending. Some users complain their accounts are being deleted or restricted for linking to articles with controversial topics. Meta is currently banning and restricting users on a hair trigger."

Instagram and Threads moderation is out of control

Instagram and Threads users are complaining about poor moderation that’s deleting accounts and posts. Instagram head Adam Mosseri says he’s “looking into it.”

^{Umar Shakir (The Verge)}

More precisely, this is an initiative by @evanprodromou , @ohmallory and @tomcoates .

On their website, they're bragging about "industry support" (sic) by, and "advisors" (sic) from, #Meta and others.

Once again, this makes it clear that some people still allow that "industry" to live as their reference and benchmark in their heads.

Implicitly devaluing what can and should be created without interference by that "industry", and making it seem as if such "support" or "advice" is necessary for some kind of weird "validation" by the adults™. Their footer (see screenshot) merely lists their own Fediverse account - plus their accounts on #X (yes) and #Threads.

It's only a question of time when a few of these "advisors" will be proudly announced as new members "serving" on the team.

La moderazione di Instagram e #Threads è fuori controllo. Adam Mosseri afferma che sta "stando indagando", poiché post e account scompaiono, compreso il mio.

#Meta sta attualmente bannando e limitando gli utenti a un grilletto facile. Una delle mie colleghe è stata bloccata fuori dal suo account per un breve periodo questa settimana dopo aver scherzato dicendo che "voleva morire" a causa di un'ondata di calore.

Brutal lessons of 1984 #nuclear bomb drama #Threads

"Greg McKevitt
BBC Archive

9 October 2024, 02:15 BST

"One of the most terrifying programmes ever shown on British television, Threads is the nuclear #apocalypse drama-documentary that continues to haunt people’s nightmares 40 years on. Ahead of a rare new showing on the BBC, here’s a look at how the drama still has the potential to terrify people.

"First broadcast on 23 September 1984, anyone who tuned in to BBC Two on that Sunday evening would experience a bleak and unforgettable depiction of a massive nuclear bomb attack on a British city and its aftermath.

"It was a nightmare scenario that was all too plausible in an era of heightened tension between the West and the then Soviet Union.

"Rarely seen on television since its first broadcast, it's being shown again on BBC Four and iPlayer on 9 October."

Having my $HOME on #NFS, I'm sometimes annoyed by lots of applications "freezing" when there's some issue with the NFS server. I just decided I'll try to prevent this in #Xmoji.

Now, how to do that? Nonblocking mode (which I use for sockets etc) doesn't do anything for regular files, they're always "ready to read/write". Still, actually reading or writing might block your thread. Then there's #POSIX #aio. From what I found, this has issues in real implementations, e.g. #FreeBSD uses kernel workers for implementing it, which are limited, and also doesn't even allow it on NFS by default, because it could cause deadlocks. Looking at the #Linux side, there seems to be some platform-specific async I/O implementation in the kernel, but #glibc implements the POSIX aio entirely in userspace... 🤯

Ok, screw all that. I'll do the simple thing and use worker #threads for file I/O calls, should be somewhat easy as I already have a "threadpool" in #poser. I just started doing that in my "filewatcher" in case it needs to use stat():
github.com/Zirias/xmoji/commit…

More to follow ... 😉

#C #development #async

FileWatcher: Async stat method · Zirias/xmoji@8ba637c

When using stat() for watching a file and poser's threadpool is running, do the stat() call on a worker thread to prevent stalling the main thread on possible I/O issues.

Alguns leitores chamaram a minha atenção ao aplicativo Vincular ao Celular, do Windows, em resposta à dica do scrcpy, um app de código aberto para espelhar celulares Android em computadores.

O Vincular ao Celular tem essa função, mas — segundo a Microsoft — ela é restrita a alguns modelos Android da Samsung e Honor.

Para todos os demais, os recursos do Vincular ao Celular lembram os do KDE Connect, como acesso a mensagens, ligações, notificações e fotos pelo computador Windows. O mesmo vale para o iPhone.

Nos comentários do post original, o Victor deu uma dica legal para o scrcpy: usando o parâmetro -S, ou seja, scrcpy -S, a tela do celular não fica ligada no espelhamento.

Espelhe a tela do Android no computador com o scrcpy

O macOS 15 Sequoia e o iOS 18 chegaram com uma nova integração: espalhamento do iPhone na tela do computador. É legal. Testei aqui e funciona bem.

A turma do Android não precisa ficar com inveja. Tem um equivalente bacana, o scrcpy (lê-se “screen copy”), de código aberto e tudo mais.

Embora o espelhamento não seja tão ~fluído como o nativo da Apple (durante o uso, a tela fica ligada e o celular desbloqueado, por exemplo), o scrcpy tem uma grande vantagem: funciona nos três principais sistemas operacionais, Linux, macOS e Windows. Ah, e não precisa instalar coisas no celular.

Android no macOS. Imagem: Manual do Usuário.

Fiz um teste aqui com um MacBook rodando o macOS 14 Sonoma e um Moto G7 Play com Android 13/LineageOS 20. E… funcionou!

A instalação varia de acordo com o sistema — os detalhes de cada um podem ser acessados no repositório. No celular, apesar da dispensa de apps, é preciso ativar as opções do desenvolvedor e, nelas, a depuração USB. Esta página do Android explica como fazer.

Com tudo pronto, conecte o celular ao computador por cabo USB, abra o terminal e digite scrcpy. Se estiver tudo certo, a tela do seu celular aparecerá espelhada em uma janela no computador.

“Mas na Apple é sem fios!” O scrcpy também permite isso. O comando, nesse caso, é scrcpy --tcpip.

Estando ambos os dispositivos na mesma rede, a conexão acontecerá magicamente. Se não funcionar, existe um método alternativo “manual”, mais chato, mas com maiores chances de funcionar.

Conecte novamente o celular via cabo USB e, no terminal, execute o comando adb tcpip 5555. Depois, desconecte o celular e, no terminal do computador, digite adb connect DEVICE_IP:5555, substituindo DEVICE_IP pelo IP local do Android. (Esse número, que geralmente começa com 192.168…, pode ser encontrado nas configurações de rede do Android.)

Por fim, rode o comando scrcpy.

Quando terminar, execute o comando adb disconnect para desconectar seu celular do computador.

Ok, mas…

É bem maneiro ver o celular espelhado na tela do computador e poder interagir por ali, mas não acho que seja o tipo de integração mais útil. Mesmo com dispositivos da Apple, prefiro outras integrações, como a área de transferência universal.

O Android tem um app para isso, o KDE Connect. Ele possibilita:

• Área de transferência compartilhada/universal;
• Sincronia de notificações;
• Compartilhamento de arquivos e URLs (tipo o AirDrop da Apple);
• Controles multimídia remotos;
• Touchpad virtual (use a tela do celular como touchpad e/ou teclado);
• Modo de apresentação remota;
• Executar comandos no computador a partir do celular; e
• Ler, responder e enviar mensagens de texto (SMS).

Tudo isso sem fios e de modo criptografado.

O KDE Connect demanda a instalação de um app no celular e outro no computador. Quem usa o ambiente gráfico Gnome no Linux pode optar pela extensão Gsconnect, que coloca uma “casca” GTK+ no KDE Connect, ou seja, deixa-o mais integrado ao Gnome.

Existe uma versão do KDE Connect para iOS, com limitações. A maior delas, e o que acho que inviabiliza seu uso, é que as interações só funciona com o iPhone desbloqueado e o app do KDE Connect aberto.
