Reddit is now making their internal user #reputation score available. This is interesting.

We could do something rather similar for each #fedverse #instance.

Apparently 6 schools have been burnt down already in Belgium over a 4 hour sex ed class in schools.

nostr:npub1hx90n0mzt7323wtt00wy0l7u56m4zsm5e50tlcq2pq006dw58rgs77lyhl Congratulations, and thanks on behalf of “everybody”. You have been doing the world a great service fighting, and winning, that fight.

nostr:npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq didn't Google Assistant do most of that, a few years back? And then the feature was shut down because of public outrage?

The most significant news in #Apple 's event today wasn't iPhone or such, right? They didn't say many exciting things there other than that some Silicon structures on their new chip are only 12 atoms wide.

But instead the news was that they want to be #carbon #neutral across the entire company and all of their products in 7 years.

That sounds extremely unlikely to me. But then, 12 atoms wide also sounds extremely unlikely to me. What do you make of this?

Thinking of the beautiful tour we got of the abandoned Kasbah in the beautiful Atlas Mountains by the most friendly self appointed tour guide ever. Not far from the center of today’s #earthquake in #morocco.

Linked from my site's moderators,: making sense of interaction and discussion patterns, healthy and unhealthy ones.

I like this a lot!

nostr:npub1grx4wzqldf8clxusxpz78adjcukkqvdkhf8amsdhr6sy3ctuu2fqvsuxfe I'm going to borrow this quote and adjust it for the times:

"The #Fediverse is where it's at. We just don't know where that is just yet."

nostr:npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq Interesting. Not new, perhaps? A lot of the work by #meta on both #threads , IG #reels and elsewhere (I'm assuming) is in playing catch-up with #tiktok

#innovation is happening, just... elsewhere...

nostr:npub14kh6e56lzu5lupphc8mtyzz3mdwn324qlpydz54raqvy8se999fs9d5jxv I don't do TikTok, so I don't know about that one.

Russia is resurrecting Stalin as a positive figure.

374 automated tests pass. Phheeewww.

Time to cook dinner. How's homemade spaghetti with homegrown zucchini? Sorry, it's a closed family event.

#threads is beginning to do some new stuff that I hadn't seen anywhere, neither in Twitter nor Mastodon nor anywhere else.

Like this: sort posts by engagement.

(Now you may not care about this feature. My point being is that they are innovating and going beyond the Twitter baseline, which in many ways, Mastodon is shooting for.)

How do *we* innovate in the Fediverse? Driven by user wants or delight?

(I don't think I have access to it yet; rolling deployment I guess)

What’s the fediverse app closest to what Usenet was in its prime?

I remember hierarchical discussion trees with unread message nodes in the tree in bold. I think.

nostr:npub1967p6txpdl9s04tjvnl0lwmrluz2hdafz9shwrduewk7fkr4cujssqmndj exactly. And, to be blunt, it was more usable in many ways. Such as actually keeping track of conversations.

Occasionally, you pull back the curtain just a tiny bit and it's still the medieval ages.

Like that apparently, there is exactly 1 computer science prof at a top-5 IITs in India who is from the lower 40-45% castes.

And this one, in Toronto, felt the need to hide his caste until he was granted tenure.

The mind boggles.

P.S. I know it's not "occasionally", unfortunately, and of course not limited to India-related issues.
