The power of local media is bigger and more important than ever.
We need community theater. We need garage bands. We need mix tapes and burned CD-Rs and community film festivals.
We need to remind one another than we exist and that we are human and that we are all this together. We need to grab one another by the metaphorical shoulders and demand to be recognized, remembered, respected.
The future Gibson et al warned us about is here. I can't save myself, but we can protect one another.

I put most of my energy and time in to local music and news and entertainment and publishing becuase that's how we reach people, it's how we build communities, it's how we keep money and power and mindshare in our communities and out of the pockets of Billionaires.
That's why I built #newellijaytelevision and #AnalogRevolution and all the rest of the things I do.
That's why I'll spend three hours tomorrow finishing the setup of the #JupitersGhost tilde server and making accounts for interested parties.

I practiced my voice a lil' when I worked as a courier putting in 2500 miles a week, but am probably at the point I'd need instruction. And a place to practice; I live in a studio.

@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.

the downside there is you sorta have to preplan the variations you'll likely want — basically build all your decks with expansive "maybe piles" — due to printer wait time
honestly cheap commons are a pain in the ass anyway since if you don't have one on hand you're gonna have to dig through boxes at a game store or pay for shipping to get them delivered to you
and if you do order them you have to then wait for them to show up
a slightly fascinating thing here — this observations is not at all scientific or exhaustive, mind you! —is how a lot of "fun-edh" people seem to be uncomfortable with the idea of proxies whereas the "cedh" people embrace them, at least online

Ah, the 'comedian' -- the statistic that proves laughter really is the best outlier.

Statisticians are taught about variance and covariance.
Few know about the median vs the comedian.
Fewer still know about the mode vs the commode.
@bbccdde @dan613 @183231bcb when I was at school, we learned the usual χ² test example of checking the counts of 1,2,…,6 from rolling a die n times, and if χ² is too large you conclude the die isn't fair.
Then the book worked an opposite example in which you find χ² is too _small_, and conclude a lazy student didn't roll the die at all and just made up fake totals.
Teenage Me was impressed by that trick. If I had anything in mind as 'statistic that tells you something's funny', it was that!

I wish those journalists would learn from the art community. Yes, you may get more engagement on other platforms, but on Fedi the interactions are more genuine and meaningful. I've heard from many artists who sell more art here than they could with 100x the engagement elsewhere. If journalists treat their field as another artform (I certainly believe it is), they can use these same methods and get so much more.
Ah, but that would require starting over and making an effort. They want IMMEDIATE numbers on any platform they go to. That right there is the problem.
Numbers matter to them more than the end results. That is why they fail.
@otfrom Journalists who are willing to have conversations are more likely to be seen as people and not faceless entities. People are more likely to be trusted than those faceless entities we call "The News." A journalist's primary currency is trust. Without trust, nothing they report matters.
Trust has been especially critical in news media since The Fairness Doctrine was repealed in 1987. Trust is everything in journalism.

Is your natural carbon sink continually growing its biomass, each year containing more biomass than the year before? Then it's an actual carbon sink. If it's at equilibrium it's a carbon store.
That's also important! Don't cut it down, for the love of our biome, but don't pretend like you can keep burning old trees you pumped out of the ground just because you have a pile of fresh trees just standing around.
If we want to fix our carbon balance we need to first of all stop digging and pumping more carbon out of the ground, because eventually that will all end up in our air. But we also need to start putting it back in the ground where it came from, or putting it somewhere else where it won't go into the atmosphere for a long time, preferably for centuries or even millennia.

There are forests and soils and mycelial networks that drive more carbon into the soil, there are solutions like biochar for taking wood and plowing it into the soil, allowing a new tree to grow in that tree's place, there are algea and plankton in the ocean that actually make carbon fall to the ocean floor (the article above just taught me that), there are people working on mechanical and chemical ways of removing carbon from the air.
All of these sinks together cannot compete with how much we are still, *increasingly*, pumping and digging out of the ground.
That has to stop, that's step zero, and then all of these ways of reducing existing carbon can be our way to get back to 20th century climate, maybe some time in the 22nd century. But that's currently a fantasy, as we're not even stopping the escalation of burning 300-million-year-old trees and other plants.
(I had to look it up, trees showed up 370 Mya, so they're in there) 😅

My job is technical support for a small company, but I often end up doing technical support for big companies too. Because when the problem is in between our servers and the servers of a big company (like with email deliverability, DNS config, etc) guess who is easier to reach? Guess who actually cares about getting it into a working state?
So I too, am a tech support dope 🤷
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?
Took everything down, fixed it, and improved the process.
I'm not caping for Indigo. I just know people who still haven't forgiven them, and this is the attitude we need to be encouraging, and putting into people's minds as a good thing.
Staying up during a breach investigation should be seen like running with a broken leg.
