The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.

Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.

#OtD 21 May 1979 the White Night riots took place in San Francisco. LGBT people rose up when the killer of Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials, was not convicted of murder. 500 people fought police and burned police cars https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9418/white-nights-riots

Marc Andreessen said programmers aren't disoccupied, we haven't become obsolete, quite the opposite, we're all working around the clock. It's true. Everyone is doing it. We got a new brain that can do all kinds of amazing things. You don't get a new super powerful brain organ every day.

The fedi thinks small but in a public interest way while the ATmosphere thinks big but always frames it as a business opportunity.

We need big but for the people.

@catsalad a @dannotdaniel crosspost :)

@hellocatfood @prinlu I’ve just found in my notes I was actually using the software encoder before. Feck it, I’ll go back to that!

EDIT: The person I replied to has since been moderated for 30 days.

My original message:

So if I understand correctly:

The IETF TLS-WG and Last-Call mailing lists be like:

• Concern-trolling over vague process stuff in order to drag an informational, recommended=N RFC draft into a quagmire to prevent an RFC number from being allocated? OK.
• Citing a celebrated rapist as a supporter of your objection? OK.
• Being said rapist and participating in the mailing list to the detriment to anyone that might feel unsafe by your presence? OK.

Me pointing out that Jacob Appelbaum is a rapist? Whoa now, that's a bridge too far. Gotta censor that!

Me replying to one of the moderators who objected to my initial reply with my "Hug?" sticker: "The worst in people".

Or at least, Bron Gondwana, CEO of Fastmail, seems to think so.

(The other IETF moderators weren't jerks about it, but Bron was.)

Today is my three year anniversary from the date I got Shingles. My hip, knee and abdominal muscles on my right side are still fucked up from the nerve damage it caused.

I'm finally, as of about a month ago, down to a one 75mg pill a day of my nerve pain medication, after a high of 300mg a day for a long time.

Go get your shingles shot if you're eligible (ie 50+ or immunocompromised) and have had the chicken pox. Do it.

Naw, that's our power. That there is a "we" - they are "rugged individuals" but "we" are a people. Our power has always, always, lied in "we."

I’m so glad I got back to reading and watching #scifi, after many years of reprieve while I was very busy working and raising my family. But I always felt better returning to my roots.
