I started a new discussion thread on Loomio: [[Would Social.coop want to experiment with running a Bluesky PDS?]]

@dphiffer it turns out these are the supported opt-out tags:

So you're already golden with #nobots. #noai seems like one the CWG could recommend to users as it does what it says on the tin?

One thing I did not mention which makes PKM summit is an outstanding experience. And it's the simplest thing of all: ☕big coffee breaks ☕.

The best thing about any conference is talking with people. I have been to over a hundred conferences. Their coffee breaks are usually 15 to 20 minutes. Maybe there was one outlier with 30 min.

The afternoon coffee breaks at the PKM Summit were 👉 90 minutes 👈.

I don't want to formalize any of my work on mathematics. First because, as Emily Riehl notes, formalization tends to impose consensus. And second, because I find it boring. It steals time from creative thought to nail things down with more rigidity than I need or want.

Kevin Buzzard says "It forces you to think about mathematics in the right way." But there is no such thing as "the" right way to think about mathematics - and certainly not one that can be forced on us.

@dphiffer something like this? ^

I'd like to understand what would be "good enough" for the community to feel like they can use existing mechanisms (e.g. blocking) to express opt-out.

I plan to boost tomorrow for extra visibility.

#PSA I plan to sign into https://Zeitgeist.blue on Saturday 4 April to see how it works. This is a new client that uses "bring your own LLM key" as an approach to distill/curate Fediverse timelines. If you want to opt out of any of your posts going through personal LLM inference, please unfollow me and block me by then.

**Update**: you can also add #nobots, #noindex or #noai to your profile and Zeigeist will ignore your posts: https://github.com/seldo/zeitgeist/commit/90b09ad6f683d7059ef4a5c4a3883704a7e71057. I hope you do this instead of blocking me, but both should work :)

I am going to use an Anthropic API key, and my understanding is that your posts would *not* end up in a corpus used for training after I do this; this is inference only, and in principle I will be the only one seeing the results.

If you have any concerns or need an extension for some reason, do reach out! I can also then let you know once I stop using the tool so you can optionally remove the block.

I found this [[racism pyramid]] in Hachyderm's [[rule explainer]] page interesting: https://community.hachyderm.io/docs/rule-explainer/

TIL burning crosses is overtly racist -- apparently the KKK is/was into that in particular. I would have taken it to be just anti-Christianity without knowing this.

I like how you can still find the occasional bit of #humor hidden within a Wikipedia article :D

> We believe alliances of people with shared identity and purpose, working together over time, is the fundamental unit of community power and actually is the only form of power we have that the billionaires don't. We want to create technology that creates physical, material, sustainable community infrastructure, not just replace one set of tools for moaning online with another, or have our success measured by app installs or clicks.

Geeks for social change

Beautiful and yes, let's keep working to go there. :)

This is an excellent question and highlights a weakness in nextcloud. Migration tools to help you migrate in, and between nextcloud instances are next to non existent. You'd think given the push for digital sovereignty, nextcloud would be trying to make this really easy. But no. It's a massive barrier to uptake.

@hollie this is glorious!

Does anyone offer migration of your Google Photos over to Nextcloud as a service, retaining album data, and if so how much do you charge? TIA

it’s kind of fun to use “biblically accurate” as an adjective for just about any noun

Today we're sending the first black person & the first woman to the moon.

But I know that Dr. Mae Jemison was the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.

Also, Jemison became the first real-life astronaut to appear on #StarTrek
Here's Jemison as Lt. Palmer in #StarTrekTNG episode Second Chances talking to Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, outside the set.

I know some folks have good reasons for having trouble with today’s launch, and I understand, but thanks for the space (har har) you gave those of us watching in awe and hope today. I didn’t see anyone posting positive comments getting met with negativity. Everything is hard right now but it felt like folks were let alone to have their I ❤️ NASA moment despite rational frustrations about this.

Thanks, all. It made my day better.
