When I joined years ago it was easy. I picked a server at random. I chose the server from the rotating list that you see when you go to Mastodon. It was a server that immediately allowed you to post.
Just like with MMORPG {massive multiplayer online role-playing games}, I knew that I needed accounts on different servers.
So I created other accounts on other servers which had good up times from the beginning.
There was a rotating list you could choose from that you immediately saw, when you were first confronted with a FediVerse.
The default client never adviced you to join mastodon.social on the contrary
From my POV it's still easy. However that can differ for the casual user
#FediVerse #Mastodon #technology #programming #defederation #moderation #power #donations
There is no one entity who does that {<dis>allowing}
The fact that mastodon.social changed "without warning* the **critical policy** of rotating suggested servers, is highly suspect of a corporate entity pulling strings {read USD / EUR payment}.
This is conjecture, it is not factual, I can't prove it.
The fact however that I'm bringing my mind to that level, means that trust has been broken in the mastodon.social server, which abused the official clients they code, to plug their server, negating the many smaller servers growth.
Mastodon.social has the same weight as any other Federated Server.
We should not have let it come so far. It's become a mammoth that needs to be brought back in line.
Complacency brought us to this level

#SingleBoardComputers #Technology #Linux #OperatingSystem #News #Hackster
Another critical section highlighted
Guarding our Federated Network is critical for the infrastructure.
The change is IMHO not just irresponsible, it's a deliberate concentration of users.
Luckily we can reverse the trend, if needed without the blessings of mastodon.social

China bans ByteDance from using Nvidia chips in new data centers

Interestingly enough I use copyQ as the fix for my favorite clipboard manager Parcellite in Wayland on my SBCs. Both work without the ability to have the keyboard shortcuts triggered.
The problem with Parcellite as a bonus on top, is that I do not even get its icon in the status bar. That means invoking Parcellite in Wayland requires me to pull it up front manually, too tedious.
Once in ten starts Parcellite works flawlessly. Not good .
copyQ on the other hand, has legitimate complains but it works, and most importantly, shows it's icon on the status bar.
copyQ even tells you which functions of it fail in Wayland on the SBC, running Debian arm.
The natively packaged clipboard managers that i found ready to use for Debian ARM are not as polished as Parcellite.
Since copyQ is extremely powerful I chose to use it even though I still can't trigger it with a keyboard hotkey. I have a distinct feeling that XWayland doesn't work properly in relationship with both copyQ & Parcellite. It's even possible that it is not configured properly by default on my Debian ARM installation from the Raspberry Pi full install

This year, three U.S. states filed lawsuits against Roblox over child-safety issues, and 20 lawsuits were filed accusing the platform of enabling sexual exploitation. How did CEO David Baszucki respond when asked by Hard Fork hosts @caseynewton and Kevin Roose about the problem of predators on Roblox? He dismissed the issue, and even described it as "an opportunity." Newton writes for Platformer News about what he thinks Baszucki's responses says about the tech industry at large. "Over and over again, we have seen leaders in Baszucki's position choose growth over guardrails. Safety features come out years after the need for them is identified, if at all. Internal critics are sidelined, laid off, or managed out. And when journalists ask, politely but insistently, why so many of their users are suffering, executives laugh and tell us that we're the crazy ones."

How do conspiracy theories develop and proliferate, and what are the best tactics to quash them? Extensive research focused on Europe, led by a team at King's College London, indicates that it depends where you are. In the U.K., concerns over COVID lockdowns led to conspiracy theories about restriction of movement in "15-minute cities." In the Baltic states, fear of hidden elites is fueled by memories of Nazi and Soviet occupation.
"These ideas are spreading in all parts of society. If we want to tackle the problem of conspiracy theories, it’s not enough to turn off a particular pipeline, such as putting restrictions on a specific social media platform or shutting down someone’s account," says Professor Clare Birchall, who led the research. "We need to think about structural problems in society as well as the business models of platforms. And instead of focusing on why people don’t trust institutions and politicians, we should work on making them worthy of trust."

Ein neuronales Netzwerk war dann in der Lage, ein personenspezifisches Profil aus den vorhandenen Daten zu erstellen – und die Signaturen mit vorhandenen Personenprofilen zu vergleichen.

Ob und wann Whofi in entsprechenden Sicherheits- oder Smarthome-Anwendungen zum Einsatz kommt, ist unklar. Klar ist derweil, dass künftig ein Verzicht auf Smartphone und Co nicht mehr vor der Erstellung eines Bewegungsprofils schützen dürfte."
TIL that @Extelec build an awesome Pico Cray super computer. It must be amazing to own. This one computes a mandelbrot set.
I've played with mandelbrot sets, rendering them on IBM PS2 computers in the 1990s.
You can use Mandelbrot sets to create very realistically looking landscapes for example
The PS2 only had a 286 CPU with a 287 Math co-processor.
That meant that even rendering a small set, the computer had to calculate at least 12 to 18 hours. Rendering a whole landscape on which we would play, would be undoable on the 286 with the 287. Based upon the real world results it would take more than half a year of computing time on that low powered machine. Especially since it ran dos 3.3, a single tasking Closed Source operating system

An AI-generated mural on the side of a building Kingston upon Thames in the U.K. has been removed after locals described it as "horrible, like a scene from hell." It was supposed to depict a festive ice-skating scene, inspired by the work of sixteenth-century Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder. But by accident or design (one theory is that it was the work of Young British Artist Mat Collishaw) it instead showed contorted human faces, heavily disfigured dogs, a Christmas market engulfed in flames, and a hideous snowman. After numerous complaints, with some suggesting that it was actually a comment on the refugee crisis, it was taken down on Nov. 20. Here's more from ArtNet.

I ABSOLUTELY loved this conversation! We went deep on something most leadership books skip over: what happens to meaning when we hand creative work over to #algorithms.
Kate's insight stopped me cold: when AI generates the most statistically probable outcome, information theory tells us it's actually creating the least meaningful one.
Every time we hit "generate" and just accept what comes back, we're choosing efficiency over significance. We're flattening human expression down to whatever's most likely, not what actually matters.
"There is nothing more human than meaning-making," she said. "From semantic meaning all the way out to the philosophical, cosmic worldview - what matters and why we're here."
Here's the paradox I've been living: AI sometimes takes MORE time, not less.
Kate laughed when I told her this because she knows the phenomenon from her #tech background - "yak shaving," where you spend ten times longer automating something than just doing it. But that's not really about time management. It's about understanding the relationship between our thoughts and the tools we use to express them.
Her message in "What Matters Next" isn't anti-#AI. It's about staying in the loop. Use these tools for ugly drafts, let them expedite workflow, but keep inserting yourself back into the process. Keep meaning and purpose alive in what you create.
Otherwise, as Kate puts it, we're just making "garbage that none of us want to exist in the world with."
In our Hybrid Analog Digital Society, the question isn't whether to use AI. It's how to use it in ways that amplify human decision-making and creativity rather than replace them.

Has tech made people more connected or more isolated?
I feel it is both. It gave us infinite reach but also fragmented our attention and our sense of presence.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got a new iPhone and my Apple Wallet info transferred over automatically. But I just tried to use Apple Pay to buy something online and the Wallet said I must verify my card, giving me an option to do this via my Banking app. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, I used the option to phone the Bank. When I explained the issue, the Assistant said, “Oh, that never works” when you get a new phone.” She eventually managed to verify the card on my behalf and the purchase went through, but it’s just as well I wasn’t in a hurry to buy the goods. Still, all sorted now, but glitches like this are really frustrating. Because I can’t see, I’m always convinced I am doing something wrong.

This image captures a moment of leisure and technology, set against the backdrop of an urban night scene.
The focus is on two individuals seated comfortably with their attention absorbed by electronic devices—a television broadcasting what appears to be classic Hollywood cinema, and a remote control held in one person's hand.

Modern cybercrime knows no borders, but prosecutors still grapple with jurisdictional challenges. The myth of "cyber borders" is just that – a myth. In reality, cross-jurisdictional cases often involve shared infrastructure, complex networks, and mismatched laws. To combat this, we must adopt a more holistic approach to cybersecurity, one that prioritizes cooperation and coordination between nations.
