   path to 2024.06

   Hey all, as June is approaching, what are your plans that should be included as new features into the current development branch, before we branch off the release candidate?

   And what are your highlights since the March release?

   Frage an Menschen die anderen Dinge mit Open Educational Resources was beibringen - Habt ihr Links (gute) OERs zu Freier Software im Allgemeinen? Also den Grundlagen von FLOSS und nicht speziellen Anwendungen.

     @villon in dem Buch geht es um OER an sich, nicht um Freie Software an sicher - oder? Hab jetzt nur die Zusammenfassung gelesen.

     Ja, als Standardwerk zu Freier Software. Aber die 440 Seiten sind ja keine ausgearbeitete OER @tunda

     Das BPB hat die PDF hier online freie-software.bpb.de/Grassmuc… @villon

   I tried to find the original source of this comic. It did not go well. So I tried asking CoPilot.

     @fnetX Hmm. Interesting thought. It's still interesting that it claims to quote the text verbatim, but is clearly paraphrasing. Is that something they do all the time? This is the first time I properly interact with an LLM or MM-LLM.

     It doesn't seem very useful at first glance. I guess this is why there's an emerging class of people learning to work around its issues and make it somewhat useful.

     @Leif Lindholm Thanks! Once again, meat search wins.

     I had found his page, but was assuming he had made the comic for a slideshow somewhere and hadn't yet considered just looking at his posts.

     @Leif Lindholm The beauty of the simplicity of it! I added too many terms, to filter the inevitable inflow of irrelevant hits, thus creating an inflow of irrelevant hits.

     I will add your technological distinctiveness to my own and become a more perfect being.

   "We experienced a period of rapid growth and increased demand arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, tripling in size without taking the time to establish the appropriate systems and infrastructure to sustain that growth."

   "Unfortunately, it became clear that it would not be financially feasible to make the necessary corrections, and we determined that OCF is not viable. We have decided that an orderly dissolution is the best option to pursue while there is still time to do so."

     @parenTessaLation I think this crisis shows that the legal/organizational centralization turned out to be a bigger threat than the centralization of the technology and the infra, and the organization to run that.
     Software is easier than people and legal/financial processes, and we understand better how to build it.

     But I agree that ideally the technology and infra would be decentralized too.

     @like jam or bootlaces I wasn't intending to say anything deeper than that scaling a software implementation is a solved engineering problem, while scaling a human organization interacting with bureaucracy is far more complex. 😅

     I guess part of that complexity has something to do with Graeber's car story, but I'm also betraying my assumption (anyone correct me if I'm wrong! I might be way off base!) that maybe more techies than community organizers were involved in setting up the entity (with the help of lawyers ... techies within the technology of law).

     @like jam or bootlaces That's exactly what the OCF did, and from the tea leaves, and the example of the OSC, it seems it would have worked, but the main problem was they accepted too much workload too fast.

     The mirror solution is also part of the explanation why the platform is a website rather than a federation. It interacts with monolithic payment systems.

     It could possibly be a federation, with payment processors being actors on the network much like fiscal sponsors are in the current technical solution, but probably that's a lot of complexity and abstraction for little gain as long as people can trust OCI to work for the community.

     " This article is about the standard test brain image. For the original human, see Miguel Acevedo.

     MMAcevedo (Mnemonic Map/Acevedo), also known as Miguel, is the earliest executable image of a human brain. It is a snapshot of the living brain of neurology graduate Miguel Acevedo Álvarez (2010–2073), taken by researchers at the Uplift Laboratory at the University of New Mexico on August 1, 2031.
     ..."

     The author so nailed the format and the attitude. I love how the article dryly notes somewhat indirectly that because the original human was so ignorant of the implications of brain upload, he's easy to work with and doesn't need much torture or bliss to achieve compliance. The banality of evil is absolutely horrifying and fully plausible.

    It's a fun and silly video and a cool idea for a project, but also the final song is really sweet and sad. And an earworm!

    Joel/Roomie spends two months figuring out how to automatically mix between mics auto-tuned to force one note each, so you have to run between them like the mouthpiece of the world's biggest harmonica to get a melody.

    Then goofs around with friends jacksfilms and Daniel Thrasher, and finally records a vocaloid-like song in six tones about heartbreak, good will and ambivalence, "It Was Worth It".
