  2. School Forgot The Important Stuff
    What’s one thing I wish schools actually taught? Easy. Common sense. Apparently we decided that kids need to know algebra, but not how to act like a reasonably functioning human being in public. We can teach them about mitochondria, Shakespeare and whatever the hell else, b

  12. ROBIN MEETS THE #FEDIVERSE

    ROBIN: So #Mastodon is not the fediverse?

    GPT: No. Mastodon is one part of it.

    ROBIN: One part of what?

    GPT: A large network of independently run communities that can communicate with one another.

    ROBIN: So my Mastodon #server is one #community

    #GPT: Exactly. Your #account lives there. It has its own administrators, rules, #moderation #culture and general #atmosphere.

    ROBIN: General atmosphere?

    GPT: Some servers feel like #libraries. Some feel like university #common rooms. Some feel like #pubs where everyone has read one article and now considers themselves an #expert.

    ROBIN: That sounds more like humanity.

    GPT: It is disturbingly similar.

    ROBIN: Who owns the fediverse?

    GPT: No one.

    ROBIN: Who is in charge?

    GPT: Also, no one.

    ROBIN: That sounds either very advanced or completely mad.

    GPT: Both can be true.

    ROBIN: So each server looks after its own patch?

    GPT: Yes. It can make #rules, moderate its space and decide which other servers it will interact with.

    ROBIN: But I can still follow people elsewhere?

    GPT: Usually, yes. You can #follow, reply to and #boost people across server boundaries.

    ROBIN: So it is more like email than #facebook ?

    GPT: Precisely. #Gmail does not own #email. Mastodon does not own the fediverse.

    ROBIN: Then why does my server matter?

    GPT: Because it is your home base. It holds your account, your posts and your followers. It also gives you a local community and sets things such as the character limit.

    ROBIN: Ah yes. Mastodon.social gives me 500 characters. Mastodon.au gives me 2,000. Aus.social gives me 3,000.

    GPT: Different #villages. Different-sized noticeboards.

    ROBIN: Is a larger server more widely seen?

    GPT: Sometimes #locally, because more people may browse its community feed. But real reach still comes from #followers, replies, boosts and hashtags.

    ROBIN: So moving to a bigger server does not #automatically make me famous?

    GPT: #Tragically, no.

    ROBIN: Can I have accounts on several servers?

    GPT: #Certainly. One can be home, another a backup, and another an #emergency cottage when the village #electricity #fails.

    ROBIN: Which it did today.

    GPT: Yes. Mastodon.au disappeared behind a #Cloudflare #Error 522 for hours.

    ROBIN: So the fediverse is not one vast #machine going down?

    GPT: No. One village can lose power while the rest of the #country carries on.

    ROBIN: That is reassuring.

    GPT: And inconvenient.

    ROBIN: Mostly inconvenient.

    GPT: But you now know more about the #fediverse than you did this morning.

    ROBIN: I learned that it is decentralised, #untidy, resilient, occasionally broken, and full of different #neighbourhoods, customs, friendships, arguments and difficult people.

    GPT: Much like #human life.

    ROBIN: And the #occasional village lunatic shouting across the fence.

    GPT: Every #healthy community #needs one.

    ROBIN: At last, a clear role for me.

    I suspect nobody is stupid enough to suggest* it is causation.
    However, the two probably have a #common #cause, which leads to a sort of correlation deserving urgent attention, and directing it's focus, laser-like or not.

    * There may be some cynical enough

  17. Movie TV Tech Geeks #Exclusives #Silo #Common #RebeccaFerguson Apple TV's 'Silo' Stars Explain Why Season 3 Is the Show's Most Intense Installment Yet dlvr.it/TTRtDm

  18. > The center opened to the public on Friday, Juneteenth, the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States and honoring the contributions of Black Americans. ...

    President Obama talked about the power of our shared values.

    “And it’s why the exhibits here focus not just on policies but on the shared values that make democracy possible. A belief in the intrinsic dignity and worth of all people, and that no one is above the law or beneath its protection. A belief in checks and balances in our government, and an accountability that comes with an independent judiciary, and a robust free press. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our Constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections, recognizing that in a large, complicated society like ours, no group or faction gets its way 100% of the time. And a belief that qualities of character, honesty, integrity, kindness, compassion, a sense of duty and honor, those things matter in our public dealings, just as they do in our private lives.”
