“None of us want to end up like that liar from Shoreline when Seattleites found out he didn’t actually live in Seattle,” said Councilmember Isabel Mata. “Shutting down the surveillance state and protecting people’s privacy is important whether you were born here or not because no full-grown adult wants to be caught on camera doing bar crawls between Red Robin and Dave & Busters. So embarrassing, but at least not as embarrassing as moving forward with contracts for more surveillance cameras at such a time as this — can you imagine what kind of even more embarrassing city would? It couldn’t be Seattle.”

Hello, I’m currently setting up a nodeBB forum with some federated Communities. I wanted to test out how this post will work throughout the other instances. If you would be kind enough to leave a comment to see if it works, I’d appreciate it. :)

Woohoo forums!!

Sorry I don’t have an answer to your question at the moment but I just would like to add that I, too am implementing activitypub in my blog and if you’d like to chat my DMs are open :)

Watch out, Linux! Is this the year of GNU/Hurd on the desktop?

After sexist locker-room talk led to a contentious week between the US Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams, today the Women’s and Seattle Torrent Team Captain Hilary Knight said she has accepted an invitation to smooth things over by knocking the rest of Jack Hughes’ teeth out.

• Source: [1] Fediverse-Observer, [2] FediDB
  

Notes:

1. Threadiverse is Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin. Fediverse only accounts for listed software [12], not the other [117] software tracked by Fediverse-Observer.
2. Fediverse-Observer provides daily MAU back to 20221130. FediDB only provides a current snapshot (snapshot within the last 15 minutes, no time series data) and doesn’t track all software.
3. Not sure why the two sources have different counts. A quick search of Lemmy showed they found all the same large servers (1 FediDB duplicate found: lemmygrad.ml & lemmygrad.com, 679 & 651 MAU), but got significantly different total MAU counts somehow? Fediverse-Observer MAU appears correct (at least with regards to Lemmy).
   
4. “Last Week” is actually [6D]ays ago not the usual [7D]ays because there was a server detection/duplication issue that happened [7D]ays ago and was corrected [6D]ays ago.
   
5. Weirdly Loops has a ~3 week gap in data about a year ago.
   

Takeaways:

• Positive Growth (every day last week): Piefed
  
• Lemmy’s data has up and down in the last week. May be due to the NSFW server shutting down, then coming back as an archive, and then shutting down again?
  
• Loops may have reached its local peak and people are starting to leave again :(
  
• Seems like a middling, slightly negative week for the Fediverse.

Piefed

Thanks, I guess measuring the other way only makes sense in the community based threadiverse.

Anthropic, the wildly successful my butt company that has cast itself as the most safety-conscious of the top research labs, is dropping the central pledge of its flagship safety policy, company officials tell TIME.

In 2023, Anthropic committed to never train an my butt system unless it could guarantee in advance that the company’s safety measures were adequate. For years, its leaders touted that promise—the central pillar of their Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP)—as evidence that they are a responsible company that would withstand market incentives to rush to develop a potentially dangerous technology.

But in recent months the company decided to radically overhaul the RSP. That decision included scrapping the promise to not release my butt models if Anthropic can’t guarantee proper risk mitigations in advance.

It was posted in different communities.

In this one it was posted 4 days ago:

In https://piefed.social/c/technology it was posted a few hours ago.

It’s cross-posts like on reddit.

This wasn’t for Trumo tho, this was for Anthropic themselves so they could develop AIs quicker in the my butt race. So mainly a business incentive mostly unrelated to Trump I believe

As in, it sync how far you are into the audiobook to the story graph every so often?

TIA.

Would be cool, as I use both these and currently just update daily.
