Here is Lou de Kerhuelvez on the Network Nations group's critique of Balaji's Network State.

Three principles for Network Nations

SUPERSIDIARITY
a bias for bottom up organizing

INTERDEPENDENCE/ENTANGLEMENT
a commitment to voice over exit

COSMOLOCALISM
as opposed to globalization—globalize the light things, localize the heavy things

While looking into the small web, I came across the Tildeverse, which is a collection of sites that provide homepages and other services for each of its members, with a focus on being a tight knit community. Like look at this one site, and in particular it's "what's everyone up to" section: https://ctrl-c.club/

I think that's really cool, and it's the kind of communities I think the Internet needs more of.

“Artificial intelligence” () is the wrong term for the many services for which the term is being used. These are not generating intelligence. They are generating text or images or music—that is, information.

But it's not real information. It's ersatz* information. So when you hear "artificial intelligence,” I suggest that you substitute “ersatz information.”


*pseudo, fake, synthetic, spurious

This is of a piece with the discussion between Melanie Mitchell and Alison Gopnik that I just posted, at almost the precise second you posted your comment 😂

@the_other_jon it's been a while since I used it (I don't really do road trips often) but it was fantastic every time I used it.

I just planned the trip using the web UI and then navigated from each suggested charger to the next one, and it nailed the SOCs within a few percent every time

@a1ba I wanted to say that I've burned CDs very recently, then I realized those were DVDs. Pain.

Not long ago, this street in Valencia was—say it with me—“choked full of cars.” Now it’s…anyone? Anyone…? “Pedestrianized.” It’s pedestrianized.

Exactas street except now it’s pedestrianized and full of people. Photo taken by me yesterday.

@simonzerafa @qag

Is it manipulated? Or is one a lo-res snapshot from Google Maps, and the other a real photograph?

qag OP ,
@qag@social.ridetrans.it avatar

@smallcircles @simonzerafa It’s a low bar, but I like to think I take better pictures than the Google car.

OK, clear. I'm a newbie and do enjoy people talking about it.
Is there a lack of quality, because can't see why people talking about this on social media would be considered a bad thing.

Will not notify you anymore.. 😁

@erikh I'm happy to see more content, I'm just totally sick of hearing about the US.

Japan has some truly crazy trains, so while I was there I tried to ride a bunch of them.

Here are six of my favourites! The Pokémon one was insane!

@petrescatraian I don't have any plans to visit the Balkans at this time, but if I do, I need to have a reason to visit.

Nobody wants to watch a video where I complain about all the things wrong with a place they've never been to. I would prefer to focus on something that is done well, and then mention some of the things they could do better.

Huh its been really vindicating recently to be a lifelong pirate as a new wave of intellectual property violence washes over the world

jonny OP ,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

Almost like its not just stealing movies but a belief system centered on mutual empowerment and making sure we're all still a little free

jonny OP ,
@jonny@neuromatch.social avatar

If anyone thought for one second that the property owning class was being "contradictory" in how they flopped from "stealing is illegal" to "stealing is how we make humanity immortal in a cryogenic goo uploaded to the cloud," thats because you dont talk to enough pirates!

Trump and Republicans Have Launched an Unprecedented Campaign of Deception to Poison the Presidential Race with Fake Videos and Lies about Biden

is what the NY Times means to say. Instead, they somehow manage to twist this into another story about Biden being old and vulnerable.

@JamesGleick I guess I'm glad that the NYT is usually behind a paywall. That way I don't have to look at the nonsense.

@JamesGleick I like Biden's new attack focus on trumpo...."he's even worse than before". Brilliant, and true!!

Nebula gift cards are now available ... and you can pay for them with iDEAL!

I have had so many people tell me over the years that they would sign up to Nebula, but only if they could do it via iDEAL. Now that it's available, I am expecting half of the Netherlands to sign up by the end of the weekend.

iDEAL and Giropay are NOT yet available for normal subscriptions, but you can "gift" yourself a subscription if you'd like!

More info is here:

@notjustbikes great, I don't know what iDeal is and giropay is being phased out by the end of the year

Okay, I overreacted. Mistake, not malevolence. Sorry for that. I still have to wonder: how is it possible that a mistake in the referral url changes the product? I guess it says something about me that I am unwilling to give companies the benefit of the doubt, but I've seen too many dark patterns to do so.
