NYT calls for Joe to quit and says the liar won the debate. As a high school history teacher who teaches debate I call the ediors out for their hypocracy. In order to win a debate, we usually commit the “sin of omission,” not giving certain, valid information that could help our opponent. If we tell an outright lie, we lose all credibility. Outright lying repeatedly is a sign of depravity and lack of moral fiber. The calls should be for trump to drop out not Biden.

The Internet Archive is hiring a Director of Platform Engineering. In my opinion, this is the most crucial and important position we have had open at the company in some time. The right person in this position is not just helpful, but a make or break key between success and merely acceptable levels of technological advance for the archive. It's a non-profit level of pay but the work is world changing.

We've just merged a commit into that replaces our default driver (https://modernc.org/sqlite) with SQLite (https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3).

If you're running GoToSocial from a snapshot build, you can now try this out with the latest snapshot.

While WASM SQLite has been shown to be faster in certain benchmarks, you may not even notice any difference in the performance of your instance. The main reason for the switch is not performance, but the fact that WASM SQLite is a bit easier for us to read and understand, and because it uses the wazero WASM runtime, so it's even more portable than Modernc SQLite, which means we'll be able to offer release builds on a wider range of architecture/os combinations than previously :)

If you're a snapshot user, please let us know if you encounter any database issues while running the latest snapshot, so we can ensure everything works before putting this in a release some time next month or so.

Thanks for reading!

Better to blog for yourself and have no traffic, than to blog for the traffic and have no self.

A list of tech co-ops around the world;

Some of them are presumably platform co-ops;

So hopefully the people curating these lists are aware of each other's work.

🎯 Via Jon Ralston:

"Sir, all of the media are talking about how bad Biden was last night and surfacing chatter of replacing him. I think you should do a rally today and say even more than your usual allotment of insane stuff to try to get the focus back on you."

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

I administer ~100-200 domains, and I've never had certificate issues in the past years. certbot runs in a cron and it does all the job for me.

It appals me that the 2nd most valuable company in the world struggles so much with certificate renewals instead - a problem largely solved even for small administrators.

RESEARCH: Backchannel moderation tools like “Chillbot” that prioritize communication over punishment could be effective in nudging members of online groups towards positive norm engagement and creating a more equitable and transparent content moderation process.
