A 5 yr Belgian study showed the BIG impact of increasing vehicle weight on road deaths & injuries. When a person on a bike or walking is hit by a pick-up, the risk of serious injury increases by 90% compared to a car. The risk of death goes up by 200%.

re: fediverse:creator “OpenGraph” tag.

What is the prefix='' namespace for fediverse:?

I checked the official website of (see: https://ogp.me) and I don't see the fediverse: namespace anywhere. Which means this fediverse: namespace is not an OpenGraph tag and will more likely not work without a proper prefix namespace, correct?

So, what am I missing here? People are already adding it. O_O

Update: Relevant thread/discussion about this fediverse: namespace.

@youronlyone I've never seen this. Could you link to where you found out about it?

As I mentioned elsewhere, there is a case for providing json-ld metadata - which is already in use and has been blessed by Google (not that I care) and dumping both OpenGraph and X/Cards in favour of open standards over proprietary and non-extensible solutions. The Alphabet currently only blesses @context values using schema.org, but this is where the fediverse can assert a standard context that works for us and just start using it. And it's already defined!.

ICYMI: this is my "origin story" – the reason why I'm going all in on the this year, starting with this platform: https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-is-federated/

I'm hoping to recruit more friends and professional contacts over here.

The post includes mentions of some of my favorite accounts including @bookgaga @molly0xfff @triketora @film_girl @fj (if you have advice about how to get more people on Mastodon, I'm all ears)

Found a friend outside our door. It is gorgeous!

I think it’s a white ermine (Spilosoma lubricipedum) but not 100% sure.

Regardless, it is gorgeous!

Discovered this morning that Maven https://heymaven.com (a social media startup who's CEO is ex OpenAI "Ken Stanley: leading the Open-Endedness Team at OpenAI") is mass importing public posts from the with no links back to the original and no way to delete them. It seems there is no Opt-out or Opt-in mechanism at all. It also has posts from pulled in via @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy that are also not linked back to the original.

Here's an example: https://app.heymaven.com/profile/66927

Screenshot of a social network Maven with my account from Bluesky copied into it.

Windows Recall doesn't just screenshot things, it OCR's the shots, and then stores the OCR as plaintext in a local SQLlite database.

I mean what the FUCK??!

I've said it before and I'll say, again, & again, & again, that jamming "AI" into everything without considering the privacy and security implications is a) going to cause a major breach of at least two US laws, and b) just a really silly and terrible idea which is going to put a lot of people in danger, and this "recall" shit is among the worst of it i've seen.

Windows 11 has just become a complete capture system disguised as an OS. Every keystroke, work session, video call, and downtime window, logged, correlated, and extrapolated. And they're trying to sell it to you as being a SERVICE.

So let me be as clear as possible about this: Fuck That, Forever.

Roll it BACK, microsoft

@ameliacervera @JamesGleick That’s good advice. For me, that would be unborn children.

Nobody:

Me: Let me tell you all about my thoughts on the recent rivalry (read: fairly one-sided grumbling on the Fedi side) between Bluesky and the Fediverse.

What I think of the "conflict": Wholly misguided. But I'm glad it's happening, because it's galvanized a bunch of people and projects on the Fediverse side.

It won’t happen quickly—and with Republicans in power it won’t happen at all—but we need to begin taking power from our rogue Supreme Court. Like this: https://hci.social/@bkeegan/112718009105258956
