@mekkaokereke That's one reason I think federated algorithms aren't a terribly good solution: The fact of externalizing timeline control makes it easier to obscure who controls an algorithm and what it's optimizing for. It's one of the reasons Bluesky doesn't appeal to me.
From my POV, a better solution would be a frontend "building block" system for constructing your own algorithm, maybe with an import option for sharing patterns in a human-readable format. That way, you could check an algorithm before applying it to your account, and no one could alter it remotely or without your knowledge.

I think we should be pushing back on these things. I'm worried and dissappointed that FOSS leadership isn't. I'm really worried we might never recover from the damage that's already been done.
@cwebber Is this whole free software endeavor about producing more and faster, or is it about empowering people and fostering collectives?
This is the question those LLMs companies have forced us to answer, thereby breaking the alignment that existed so far between industry & “open source” on one hand, and people focusing and user freedom and autonomy.
Kinda sad I lost my Scottish accent when I grew up. A small brown girl, speaking in that accent and living in the US Midwest, would’ve been exotic!
@farah Ok you had one at one point, that means your still ours, lassie! 😂🫂🏴

On aimerait beaucoup en savoir un peu plus sur la genèse d'#OpenPortability. Est-ce un conglomérat de chercheurs ?

Nobody thinks about smallpox.
We ended a disease that killed 300 million people in a century. We're bored by it.
When a miracle fades into the background, the machinery that made it starts to look unnecessary.

About to embark on creating a major new view for PocketPB, to offer the user a choice of how to view their plans. The new view is intended to be less nerdy and more UI-centred and beautiful. In other words, all the things I am shit at 😂
I do get inspired by some of the wonderful app devs I see on here, but for the life of me I am useless at making things look goooooooood!
Anyway, onwards and upwards we go.

A very productive day. A nice, clean architecture in place for the new view.
The view still looks horrible but the architecture is sweeeeet 😂

does anyone know how you can stop working on something and just ship it? asking for a friend
@Joekw @iamkonstantin Just working on an answer for you. Will ship ASAP!

Definitivamente me declaro fuera del mundo: no me interesa #NADA que me manden un vídeo al teléfono donde un tipo o una tipa o une tipe está hablando a cámara y contando algo que otro tipo o tipa o tipe haya dicho en otro medio y haciéndo crítica política o social o de cine o contando batallitas de cualquier otro sujeto de donde sea.
Al menos los textos no me agreden: los ves, te fijas en quién firma y si te apetece los lees. O no.
Por favor, gente que está pegada a las redes estas incendiarias: dejad de hacer vídeos. Escribir un par de párrafos decentes y contad lo que sea.

@Alice now come on, there are plastics that can withstand temperatures up to 400C, no need to get too exotic with your engineering.
And since it’s only a single run, you probably don’t need to get super technical. 😊
@jeffzugale The engineering includes the materials for the waterslide and my biggest fear is the waterslide melting while I’m working up the courage to ride it.
