@ilumium It's one thing to see this kind of comment from a random drive-by - but this is unseemly coming from you and your experience/position.

Moderating is hard, unpaid, and creates a ton of conflict.

Calling out this small, hobbyist regional node in this […]

Presentation slide from IFTAS Annual Report titled "Individual Experience: Personal Well-being" featuring a doughnut chart about community operator burnout. 59.2% report being unimpacted, 27.2% felt close to burnout, 8.8% experienced burnout in the past year, and 4.8% are currently experiencing it.

@deadsuperhero Solution was to make some minor changes to their content management system and federate the link, not the media.

@deadsuperhero One of the issues is they don't own the shows, the production companies do.

Broadcasters are responsible for not letting copies get made and distributed worldwide. Federating copies and thereby losing control of the media is one of the issues holding publishers companies back […]

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

To help with their Forkiverse experiment, the Search Engine/Hard Fork teams talked to two experts: @evan and @jaz. Listen to @mike's chats with them here:

I have a need to know how many text posts, images, and videos this Mastodon server gets in a month, local and remote (separately). Or, from anyone else who has such data, what that looks like such that I can extrapolate a likely volume of all three stratified by local vs remote per e.g 1,000 […]

Great first day at #FediForum . Absolutely wiped but looking forward to round 2 tomorrow!

@stuartl We will all come to miss deterministic repetition of error...

Back in the 1980s Mr. Griffiths taught Computer Science in my local school. Two maxims he repeated almost every week have stuck with me for decades. "A computer is exactly as smart as the person telling it what to do" and "A computer can and will make mistakes, and it'll do it a million times […]

If you/your project is affected by DigitalOcean stopping their OSS credits program, please shoot me a PM immediately. Might be able to help.

Boosts for visibility would be appreciated.

Bsky, I'm looking for a poem. It's Scots, and is list style, about all the people who "telt" him not to speak Scots. Failed to bookmark it the times I've seen it. Anybody got any ideas?

@jaz.toot.wales.ap.brid.gy Oct 3, 2026, 2:46 PM

@olliestudio45 bit of both. Lots of of manual to verify the account is indeed what we think it is.

For hopefully obvious reasons not too much is shared publicly.

@benpate plus three points on your Fediverse License

@benpate what if they complain _about_ IFTAS? £4 refund? 😁

@jaz.toot.wales.ap.brid.gy Oct 3, 2026, 1:05 AM

@olliestudio45 I've been tracking them for over a year. I identify them, report them, monitor them.
