@roptat just realized I got pranked ;) Serves me right for not fact-checking before posting. Now that April 1 is over, it might be worth putting an 'April Fools Gag!' banner at the top of the post, or taking it down.

"While #NZGOAL is designed for public sector agencies, the tool can actually be used by any organisation that wishes to release material for re-use. All you need to do is assume you’re part of the wider public sector when answering a question about whether you’re part of the Crown or the wider public sector."

@yojimbo @crispr anybody know of a project to do to Reddit threads what Nitter does to Titter posts?

"Bibliogram is a website that takes data from Instagram's public profile views and puts it into a friendlier page that loads faster, gives downloadable images, eliminates ads, generates RSS feeds, and doesn't urge you to sign up."

1) This doesn't answer the question, which is how to use a free code front-end to read content others have put in the FB silo.

2) It really isn't. All #Diaspora can do is public and private posts, and photo uploads. #Friendica, #Hubzilla, or #Zap would be better recommendations for replacing the features people use FB for. They have events calendars and groups, and all federate over #ActivityPub, which Diaspora devs are still refusing to even consider.

@LemmyDev this is a fantastic initiative. It's a great way to include users in core decision-making, while allowing those who just want to shovel coal in the engine room to mostly stay out of those discussions.

Clark laid it out in his #LawsOfRobotics, decades before the technology matured. Robots must not be allowed to kill humans or leave us in danger of harm. Simple as that:

@wolf480pl do you get enough from the text to know whether the link is worth clicking on or not?

"One of the greatest dangers of having many options is if multiple apps get deployed, and those apps don’t talk to each other or share information. This would lead to fragmentation of the population, with people using different apps reporting data to different people, and it would significantly reduce the effectiveness of all of the solutions. If we are going to deploy digital #ContactTracing, we need everyone on the same platform quickly ..."

"9.1 [#NZ] #DigitalCouncil members will be eligible for reimbursement in accordance with the Cabinet Fees Framework (Group 4, Level 1).

9.2 The Chair will be paid a daily rate of $920.

9.3 Members will be paid a daily rate of $692."

That's a *day*. But supposedly the govt is so strapped for cash they have to make beneficiaries - including those on sickness benefits - try to live on much less than NZ$400 a week.

@lightweight me too. It would be ridiculous to use a non-free app (especially one controlled by #datafarmers) when there is a proven #FreeCode app for #ContactTracking:

> Would be good to pull more of a focus on private social messaging apps? To work kinda like Mastodon? But any length message.

All the apps I mentioned in the post you're replying to fit that description.

> Attachments.

* Diaspora: supports image uploads, not documents, like Mastodon
* Friendica: supports image and file uploads
* Hubzilla: supports photo albums and file uploads
* Zap: haven't tested yet, but it's a fork of Hubzilla, so ...

> Not Loomio?

It's an option, but not a federated one (yet).

@mdhughes how do you airgap a language?

"Asia had already shown what worked, #HaydenMcCall said, pointing to #TraceTogether where enabled phones digitally 'shake hands', leaving an accurate trail for contact tracers to follow, with the phone owner's permission. It is #OpenSource for anyone to use."
