@flussence @Elizafox Also without proper sanitation you're going to have old diseases like cholera reappearing. A lot of Late Capitalism makes no economic sense, but neoliberals like to stick to their "just so" stories even if they have no grounding in reality.

@lightweight I think what's happening is that people are using the same hardware for longer. If you're not playing games with advanced graphics or training machine learning systems then an old laptop is as good as a new one.

@liw @cstanhope I ran a "smart home" in the mid 2000s. Light switches, some electrical appliances and cameras monitoring movements and detecting gesture commands like nods and hand jive. The home AI would say hello in the morning and announce important tasks, etc.
But after a while I found that the automation wasn't really useful. Not for someone able-bodied anyhow. The amount of added value was sufficiently minimal that when I moved to a different place I didn't bother setting it all up again.

@cwebber @emacsen The recent and thankfully brief spam epidemic highlights a weakness. A spammer can sign up on lesser used but otherwise legitimate public instances, whose admins will not be watching them like a hawk, and they can keep doing that indefinitely. The more the fediverse grows and the more public instances there are then the more this could become something other than a mere annoyance.
I think the real solution is a Zot-like protocol with varying levels of access. Rather than just follow/unfollow you can have more granularity about what other users can post on your timeline.

@seven @cwebber As the Mastodon developer said earlier, shared blocklists might be quite a bad idea. There would be much less independent scrutiny and so innocent users could easily end up being "cancelled" for malicious reasons. Adversaries might use shared blocklists against us.

@Laurelai @emacsen @cwebber It is already possible to whitelist on Pleroma.

@maloki Good luck!

However, I expect that companies are going to get more serious about privacy and that there will be more zero-knowledge server storage. This would get them out of the sticky business of being responsible for content and its moderation or being defined as "publishers". If the kind of thing reported about Facebook moderation continues then I expect there are going to be class action lawsuits brought by former moderators.

This is like ExxonMobil or Shell sponsoring a conference about the future of the environment.

@cwebber I'm not highly proud of my generation as a whole. Some good things were done, but the basic problems remained in place or got worse.

@dansup Its a Tor browser and the javascript for the site is whitelisted. It might be that something is going on with cookies which Tor browser doesn't allow.

@SkyFreak It was expected to become a standard part of email clients, but after a couple of decades it still hadn't been widely adopted. I think he said he had used it for a while but because few others were doing the same it was kind of useless for protecting email. Security is a network property.

@dansup Unfortunately the new compose UI doesn't work for me (blank images) so for now I'm using the last commit before the retirement.

1. Participatory publishing: any person or local group sharing the goals of the website can submit articles.
2. Support: the group which runs the website can help contributors with the writing and editing of their articles through a collective interface.
3. Openness: the website isnβt the property of a particular group, it aims to reflects the diversity of ideas and practices that exist locally.
4. Anti-authoritarian ideas: all the websites within the network aim to push forward emancipatory ideas and practices, resistance to authority, and anti-capitalist ideals.
5. Dissemination: we take steps to ensure the content of the websites can be spread massively
6. Integration within a local context.
7. Mutual aid between members of the network.
