⚠️ PSA for anyone still on the mastodon.cloud server, you might want to move off there ASAP.

The server's admin hasn't posted since February 2023 and the server software is so old it's no longer supported for security updates.

There have been cases of extreme abuse posted by mastodon.cloud members and the admin took no action after months of reports. It is possibly an abandoned server, so you might want to transfer your account elsewhere while you still can.

If you need help transferring your account, there's a step-by-step guide at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

If you need help choosing a new server, see https://fedi.garden

@juliancalaby is there a reason why there so many popping up around here? Just cheap land? There’s gotta be over 500MW just in data centres along the ring road & western highway

@davidgerard Again, isn't the world not that black and white? Like, you can work for a corporation and still be critical of some things they do, no?

@anthony @davidgerard “uhm excuse me could you please define exhausting in this sentence. please tell me what exhausting is” we know where this is going Anthony

Huh.

Looks like that was easier than anticipated for the most part. In fact... I might be able to keep it all in one process afterall.

@anthony @davidgerard I can tell from you untagging the rest of the people in the thread that you’re about to get real exhausting, anthony

After a nice afternoon mostly spent with the kids, the snow and blogging, I'm dreading the evening (because of the election upcoming results).

@davidgerard every encounter I have with a mozilla employee involves them pretending to speak for a community I’m a member of and playing fuckface word games when an actual member of the community tells them they’re misrepresenting us.

no, nobody doing AI critique is confused about what we’re criticizing. that doesn’t make sense. but mozilla would like to convince us we’re mad about a pre-LLM translation model or whatever’s convenient. we’ve dealt with that form of critihype before.

@PCOWandre definitely before the end of June so I can cop the business losses this financial year

@warmsignull you can answer that yourself from our conversations.

What do you think of this funding application https://hamishcampbell.com/funding-proposal-open-media-network-omn-building-portable-human-centred-digital-commons/

It's well fluffy, and would provide the seed of the resources you talk about.

It reminds me a bit of the xkcd comic about the standards. Only now we have two (slightly different) implementations which need to be maintained 🤷🏻‍♂️
