  4. @tippitiwichet I can't top this pollinator photo taken by Chris Ecroyd. It's of a New Zealand Pekapeka-Tou-Poto (lesser short-tailed bat) pollinating a Pua-o-te Reinga (Dactylanthus taylorii), one of NZ's few parasitic plants. Chris helped to figure out that this weird plant was reliant on this weird bat for its pollination.

    Pua-o-te Reinga is a threatened "nationally vulnerable" plant as it's dependent on the roots of old growth forest trees, its flowers are now eaten by introduced rats and possums, and it's now only pollinated by Pekapeka-Tou-Poto bats, which are themselves now rare and nationally vulnerable.

  5. I don't usually draw a lot of fan art 😅 But, I recently watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 5 and I went into it not expecting it to become my favourite. For me, it was hard to get over the epicness of Stardust Crusaders, and I liked Diamond is Unbreakable, but it couldn't top how attached I got to the SC gang.

    Then Part 5 came along, and I wish I could erase my memories and watch it again for the first time.

  8. CW: Long post - FediPact, Meta, P92 - No, Mark Zuckerberg won't meet you in the lobby Chris Trottier

    No, Mark Zuckerberg won't meet you in the lobby Chris Trottier.

    Recently one of the fediverse's most ardent proponents of collaboration with Meta produced a long thread in which he details his argument for embracing the P92 gambit with open arms. This post is a response.

    If you're wondering why he is not tagged or addressed directly in his thread, that's because Chris is want to block anyone who offers up even the most polite of substantive counterpoints. We'll just toodle along over here thanks. The intent is not actually to debate him, but to provide food for thought to those who might have been persuaded by his relentless advocacy to federate.

    The original thread is here: atomicpoet.org/notice/AX9zOBSS

    Trottier seems to believe that ActivityPub possesses extraordinary powers: "ActivityPub means that whatever of Meta’s userbase that’s exposed to federation will diversify into other platforms […] This diversification reduces the dependence of users on a single platform, giving them more choices and potentially drawing them away from Meta."

    But he never acknowledges that Meta platforms comprise an algorithmically-governed censorship regime which repress information of many kinds - for example, the #joinpixelfed hashtag, which was banned on Instagram along with the Pixelfed account itself. Why would this entity allow pied pipers of the fediverse to frolic freely on P92 and evangelize escape from its enclosure?

    For that matter, why does he think that would work at all? The userbase of Instagram will be prompted to join Threads. That means something of the existing network effect of that longstanding service will be transplanted in; and rest assured, there will be no account migration functionality provided.

    In fact, the number of teen-dream travel-snap influencers who will, upon exposure to a single post by Chris Trottier on the magic of W3C protocol development, leap to wrench themselves away from the highly addictive and even financially-incentivized dependency on their established social graph and plunge themselves into the X11-Wayland religious war waged among the beloved catgirls of the fediverse is statistically very close to zero.

    There is also an unsettling absence of agency in Chris's characterization of the lost souls of Meta, as if they're just sheep waiting for the good shepherds of decentralization to lead them to greener pastures. Instagram account holders are free to sign up for a fediverse account right now, and many have already done so - and by the way, the reverse flow is also quite possible for anyone here who wishes to connect to friends and family on Meta networks.

    To open this "revelatory" "Pandora's Box" (his words) of the ActivityPub Rapture, Trottier proposes, with great bloviation, something called "lobby servers". As he describes: "Lobby servers can bridge communities. They act as intermediaries that connect different social media platforms, including Meta-owned ones, with non-Meta platforms. […] By federating with Meta, lobby servers can pull content from Meta’s network and redistribute it to other federated platforms. This syndication allows users on non-Meta platforms to access and engage with Meta users’ content, thereby exposing them to different perspectives and encouraging cross-platform interactions…"

    The flowery language continues on, but he is not actually proposing some novel new technical development. There is nothing described which is not already part and parcel of ActivityPub federation. The "lobby server" is simply a rebrand of "an instance federating with Meta".

    This Hotel California doublespeak is indicative of the most problematic aspects of the communications of pro-Meta luminaries. In a ploy more typical of the contemporary reactionary right, the values and intentions of the opposing fediverse opinions on Meta are inverted. Trottier's post begins: "Federation with Meta actually hurts Meta."

    He continues, referencing the FediPact community: "… it’s not everyone’s objective to fight Meta, and there should be spaces where fighting Meta isn’t top of mind. Not everyone wants to be part and parcel of a fight, and that’s okay." So, in this new upside-down reality, the anticapitalists trying to save at least part of the fediverse from colonization by one of the most destructive corporations in the world "don't want to fight Meta"; the true revolutionaries are those eager to collaborate with that corporation.

    The Orwellian trolling degenerates from there. He claims that turning away from P92 - a single vertical silo which may comprise tens or even hundreds of millions of users - will paradoxically harm decentralization, because all those little servers federated with each other somehow result in "fragmentation" instead. And the anarchists and marginalized communities in the FediPact? They're actually pro-police authoritarians! "To enforce total defederation will require whitelisting, and policing of that whitelist." The term "whitelist" is repeated over and over in this paragraph, which is a subtle dig in the direction of a general and very nasty propensity among pro-Zuck advocates to associate the FediPact with the "HOA" and the *absence* of diversity.

    On the whole, the most visible proponents for Meta collaboration have been big-instance admins who have done neither themselves or their cause any good over the last couple of weeks. Chris Trottier is something of an exception. We have repeatedly noted people explaining that they were on the fence over the Meta issue, until convinced by Trottier's arguments. He may fancy himself as fighting Meta, but by relentlessly arguing in favor of federating with them, he is actually serving as their most useful and effective asset in the fediverse.

  9. The BBC report said 13 women who weren’t top players were evacuated alongside Afghan women footballers in 2021. But team members have described the investigation as “sad,” and said they felt attacked.

  10. Pfff. I have an with 2 toolheads, but the print quality wasn't top, and I don't have the time nor desire to carefully tune profiles. On the other hand, having 2 toolheads is awesome for printing e.g. PLA supports for PETG etc and works so much better than an or equivalent. And then there's the that I would want, but is just too expensive to justify. Bah

  11. Very sad to hear about the passing of The Mac Observer's John Martellaro, and so soon after my fellow Macworld alum Chuck La Tournous. I respected John's work and shared many conversations and meals with him at Apple events. Brilliant and funny.

    We lost Tim Robertson of MyMac last year. I'm sure there are others too that aren't top of mind for me at the moment, but my point is that seeing my cohort of Apple writers and pundits passing through the veil is unsettling.

  14. @sebastian it's ten years next month since my last day at work. I was in Bhutan for #NSRC and I sat on the balcony of a hotel at the airport in Paro waiting to go home and thought "I can't top this".

    Great to see #sanog being held in Bhutan.
