@silverwizard Oh I know I and the people I surrounded myself with don't want this privacy invasion. Beyond that, it becomes unclear to me that it would be the main factor of rejection. My main guess is there is a general disconnect between the data harvesting for AI purposes and the AI tools themselves. Meaning that people may be receptive to the AI tools and at the same time reject high-profile cases of data harvesting like the Reddit debacle, Twitter's change of terms of service, Recall, etc...
This would also mean that the general contempt for the latest AI-everywhere products wouldn't be based on the underlying data harvesting, but rather because they are disappointing products by themselves, regardless of their externalities you and I strongly care about.

@silverwizard I must admit that I haven't read much AI criticism that I don't also share myself. The working theory I outlined earlier is based on a single poll that showed 40% of the responders were considering AI features at least somewhat negatively in new products.
When I learned about the poll, it went against my preconceived notion that the general public was more receptive to AI features, which would have partially explained the rush to implement it into anything and everything.

A huge mistake the fediverse makes is large instances. It's resource intensive, expensive, and creates wildly large failures instead of little ones.
This is why I'm sad to lose the bots, but also glad botsin.space is going away. BIS was always weird, a place to place bots which cost a lot, but wasn't a community. Bots should live alongside their makers or users (or just have a way of posting without needing a full server).

Hanging out with FreeBSD and the boys
One of the things that is destroying the web is WASM and JavaScript.
This isn't really even a joke - it's literal.
By having all these tools to make a web browser have unfettered access to the system, it becomes unsafe to allow users to generate arbitrary code. We can't have another MySpace or NeoPets User Lookup because we can't allow users to write their own HTML, because that's *dangerous*.

I think it'd be like 255.255.255.3? So the nets are (say) 192.168.1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, and the hosts are ... jesus, this is why nobody's tried this.
Bitwise, it'd be: xxx00, xxx01, xxx10, xxx11
0 net: .4, .8, .12, .16, .20β¦
1 net: .5, .9..yeah, that makes sense.
2 net: .6, .10β¦
3 net: .7, .11, .15, .19, .23β¦
and so on.
This was asked in a meeting with NeXT engineers while I was a contractor at a government agency in the early 90βs. I think their answer was... "We support it...maybe? Why would you want to?β
I've always wanted to try, just for the hell of it, but I suspect 99% of networking gear would break.
It used to be (I guess this was before CIDR became popular) that netmasks were expressed as literal bitmasks. So a /24 would actually be written as "192.168.1.0, netmask 255.255.255.0β where the "24" represents the leading 24 bits representing the network (192.168.1).
So a /28 would be..255.255.255.240 (11110000).
But it was always a consecutive string of β1β bits, and the hosts were the remaining block of lower-most "0" bits. Usually 8, for a /24, but often smaller (for, say, a small block of public IPs your ISP gives you). I remember the net my office desktop was on in school that was 255.255.254.0 (or /23). That network used 9 bits for 512 hosts. (ish - router and broadcast addresses are still needed out of that 512).
A non-contiguous netmask would mean that consecutive final octets would be on consecutively different networks.
255.255.255.3 would be all 1s, then 00000011, so the NET portion is .0, .1, .2, and .3. So hosts .4, .5, .6, .7, .8, .9, .10, .11, .12... would be on networks 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0β¦.
Like I said, I doubt much of anything would support it now. Even when we wrote netmasks as bitmasks, it's likely most gear would've just failed using this approach.
It really is a cursed idea. :)
This wiki page may help, too. Once you see it, it's ... logical? (I won't say "easyβ). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet
@David Schuetz Oh, I see, a subnet mask bitmap with non-contiguous 1s - that makes sense.Gross.
So something like 192.168.90.256/192.255.148.45, not just a wall of 1s.
(I know enough to set subnet masks on weird ancient gear ;), but I almost always am setting 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.255 because /24s rule everything around me. But yeah - reasonable)
I just don't know if I have any gear that would parse subnet masks like that enough to confuse it.

@Jonathan Lamothe @David Schuetz Are you aware of the RFC 864 Compliant Dungeons and Dragons Character Generator I worked on?
@Dave worked on a bunch of it and I need to replace his work (not because I don't like it -but because I want to do the actual work not just crib his, the goal was to learn socket code).
As much as I love writing on it, my reMarkable2 (which has already been annoying me with its response to being caught out in the rain a couple years ago, two laptops and another tablet in the same backpack shrugged it off with no trouble but the rM2 now gets days on a full battery charge instead of months) has a jammed power button and no other way to wake it from sleep, so it's time to retire it.
Samsung makes tablets with the same stylus technology so I picked up one of those, and it's... adequate. At least it's half the price and should be durable enough to handle living in a backpack and not just sitting on a desk and never going anywhere (and if this one dies, for the same price as a rM2 I can get a ruggedized one with a bigger screen)
The device I really want is the guts of the new color reMarkable in an enclosure that's actually as durable as a reasonable person would expect from a consumer electronics device at that price point, but capitalism says nobody will buy that, so I can't buy it.
In light of our praise of the Internet Archive - can we make sure to use Indigo as an example of another org that did the right thing after a databreach?

Thinking about Bandcamp and incentives.
So I just bought music from https://derinaharveyband.bandcamp.com/album/waves-of-home and you should too. You should buy it all and leave a tip. But, let's talk incentives.
So I want to buy Derina's music, because (he way she sings makes me want to scream, weep, join the chorus, and somehow fly. And if she releases a new anything, I want to know one second after, if not early enough I can preorder.
But I don't buy a lot of music, I have extensive ear damage and most music falls flat for me. So I don't care about much other music.
Derina Harvey Band doesn't care what music I buy, as long as I buy theirs (they are probably good people and hope I support their community though, back there in a second).
So Derina Harvey Band and I have a relationship (I want to give them money), but they want to make more, so they use Bandcamp for discoverability. I found their bandcamp before I found their website! So bandcamp is good! It fascilitated a relationship, and I get to hear about the sea.
But now Bandcamp wants to spam me about not-Derina-Harvey, they want me to learn about Nathan Evans or whoever, bands I really don't want to engage with, since I might buy their music. And this has lead me to turn off all communications from Bandcamp. This means I miss when bands I like release music.
So, because there's a broker (platform) who is going to meditate my relationship with Derina Harvey Band, I am going to lose out. Bandcamp turned a new fan into a new customer, but made it harder for a customer to stay a customer.
And, I want to be clear here, there was not even regular Enshittifiation. It's bandcamp Friday, I sent the band slightly over full price for all their albums and they're probably getting, as cash, the full price of all their albums, the platform took nothing. But they band also doesn't have a POSSE style setup, I need to use a platform to learn about tours and releases, and I don't.
I dunno, this is just a tragic story, there's no lesson we don't all know, and there's no solution that isn't to tell a band to manage their own mailing list. The obvious solution is to create a platform that isn't evil, but even then, I don't think that's possible because of all this.
Abolish capitalism so I can revel in a shanty about how capitalism ruins sailing.
I can't solve the medium-level problem of bandcamp's mediation, and can't speak to the high-level problem of 'capitalism', but if you use an RSS reader, and if the RSS reader takes commands, you can pull in this url to generate an RSS feed for an arbitrary bandcamp band.
curl 'https://rss-bandcamp.deno.dev?artist=derinaharveyband'
@πΈππ©π¦π« Oh, I can directly follow rss of a bandcamp eh?
At least it solves the main tension
Bandcamp won't let you, but one "PaweΕ Grzybek" has set this service up based on another. It's limited to 100,000 daily requests, so he requests people don't hammer it too much.
https://pawelgrzybek.com/generate-rss-feed-for-bandcamp-artists-using-deno-deploy
I guess that means you can't get notified the very second another album comes out, but I bet once per day wouldn't strain PaweΕ's limits too much.
