I have seen many "Is #BritneySpears well?" tweets recently. This documentary by #DragArtist and journalist Ryan Houlihan tells a story of #Hollywood's increasing reliance on #DeepFakes and #AI to cut out artists and writers and increase profits. How long can the machine cut itself off from life before it goes stale? A documentary rich with paradoxes...

"RFKJr is MOST POPULAR Candidate, Favorability Poll Reveals; Kennedy’s Publisher REACTS" #censorship does not work when enough communication channels exist when counting the sets reached after quotient channels by ownership relations. (ie, don't count channels that have the same ownership twice). #RFKJr @Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr

"Michael Levin and John Vervaeke in Dialogos: Towards an Ontology of Causal Structures" An argument that ontology is both bottom up and top down, that is that there are mathematical and other constraints on evolution that make reductionism (say of biology to physics) incoherent.

Contrarian position: Since @Elon Musk took over Twitter, the quality of discussions has improved a lot there. For two reasons: 1. longer tweets allow much more careful and subtle responses, meaning one escapes the tabloid headline shouting matches 2. the little real-world authentication part has also helped civilise discussion The #fediverse has 1 already and can get 2. via #w3c #VerifiableCredentials when combined with a #WebOfNations https://medium.com/@bblfish/use-cases-for-the-web-of-nations-361c24d5eaee

The problem with #Mastodon is that it is architected around nodes where admins must make #censoring decisions under the threat of #defederation by #activists. The #fediverse can be built differently. Do you agree?

Can one quote Tweet on #nostr? Let me try. The interesting thing about the referred to Wired Article is that it shows that #Mastodon folks love to reach for the de-federation button. That makes them feel secure but it is a tool used by political activists to foster #slander. https://iris.to/note1jc9fxzjxvzxdr7wk3qtu0c8zg6dq0vc7498qe0zcm966caxgewaqun4a3d

I have noticed that I get many more results searching a tag such as #Java or #Scala from https://iris.to when not logged in (using an Incognito mode window) than when logged in, I just get the results of people I follow, which is essentially nearly nobody at this point. Try it for yourself: https://iris.to/search/%23Scala

Do folks agree with the characterisation of #nostr given by @Melvin Carvalho to the #W3C Technical Architecture Group? He compares and contrasts #Nostr with #ActivityPub, #Mastodon and #SolidProject.

Anyone here interested in #IETF’s Signing HTTP Messages spec? I have a #scala implementation of it here with links to specs

GitHub - bblfish/httpSig: Signing HTTP Messages libs

Signing HTTP Messages libs. Contribute to bblfish/httpSig development by creating an account on GitHub.

This could be used by #JS, #Java, and native (so #Python or #Perl) via the #ScalaJS and #ScalaNative compilers. (It would also require a bit of work of course)

@Openvibe would be very useable on the OSX Desktop if there were a way to set the font size. It's a bit too small for me.
