Now how is the young generation going to learn how to pronounce Igor?

I heard it's for some legal reason that they still have to do funding drives. Maybe to maintain a certain status? I'm not sure.

Now can you convince the masses?

Maybe these people need to feel the cycle first hand a few more times and that's okay. ActivityPub will be even stronger when it comes around again.

It's a very surreal watch.

At least maybe some more regular people will learn about decentralization (and alternative ways there) from this mass adoption?

is also decentralized and is federated, meaning it is moving toward a future where users “own” their audiences and can port them elsewhere (you can, and many do, argue about the details here, and about the differences between ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, and the AT Protocol, which Bluesky uses).

Best coverage yet for that alone

Interesting perspective on the black coding of characters.

I mostly scroll through the feed and chime into topics where I feel I can contribute to.

That's good too but maybe consider lowering your bar on what it takes to "contribute".

I have left many simple comments that have led to someone chiming in with something insightful that they may not have commented otherwise

 

As chatbots like ChatGPT improve, their use in our personal and even romantic lives is becoming more common. So much so, some executives in the dating app industry have begun pitching a future in which people can create A.I. clones of themselves that date other clones and relay the results back to their human counterparts

No

 

Does this count?

Demonstration is at about 3 mins in but I found the preamble worthwhile

 
 

In a letter issued Tuesday, the school's principal Aaron Hobbs said the intention "was to foster a message of peace and remembrance, reflecting on the importance of unity and reconciliation," but that he has since become aware the song "caused significant distress to some members of our school community."

"For this, I would like to offer my apologies," he said.

The song title, when translated to English, roughly means "This Is Peace." Many comments on multiple Youtube videos of the song, speak of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the suffering of Palestinians, though the song itself makes no mention of the conflict in the Middle East.

"The inclusion of a song that could be seen as politically charged was not in line with the values of respect and unity that we strive to uphold at this school," wrote Hobbs

I don't know the song but this doesn't look good.

However, several human rights advocacy groups are now condemning the backlash, calling it anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab.

"Just because the language is Arabic?" asked Jamila Ewais, a researcher with the Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East's anti-racism program. "What if someone was singing this language, let's say this song or like a similar song in, I don't know German or Ukrainian language?"

Exactly.

 

Paywall, sorry
