Google’s James Manyika: ‘The Productivity Gains From AI Are Not Guaranteed’
Google executive James Manyika has warned that AI’s impact on productivity is not guaranteed [Editor’s note: the link may be paywalled], despite predictions of trillion-dollar economic potential. From the report: “Right now, everyone from my old colleagues at McKinsey Global Institute to Goldman Sachs are putting out these extra … ⌘ Read more

@movq@www.uninformativ.de He did! But hey, at least his claws were not out. So we’re good 😂

For following notifications I would say use webmetion refering to the the line in your twtxt.txt as per: https://darch.dk/mentions-twtxt
Or send them an email, so it would be an idea to add a # contact = mailto:me@domain.net to ones twtxt.txt

@prologic@twtxt.net They are but then again Apple’s is doing things Apple’s way 😆 Hint: punishing devs and users for using alternative stores.

@bender@twtxt.net F-Droid is a platform/app that lets you side-load/install and serve android apps without the need for Google’s play store’s blessing. I also use Aurora Store to install Play Store’s apps without having to associate my phone with Google account. 🦾 it makes me feel good about myself 🥸

Anyone had any intereractions with @cuaxolotl@sunshinegardens.org yet? Or are they using a client that doesn’t know how to detect clients following them properly? Hmmm 🧐

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net At least Android has fDroid. Apple is a dominatrix.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! Looking forward to trying it out. Sorry for the silence; I have become unexpectedly busy so no time for twtxt these past few days.

DNF’d, but had a great time! i could have walked it out the last ten miles and still made the cut-off but after doing the math i would not have been done until about 1900 and we had guests visiting from out of town and i did not want to be even more of a wreck while entertaining. met a lot of great people and happy for the challenge.

Apple Stands By Decision To Terminate Account Belonging To WWDC Student Winner
TechCrunch’s Sarah Perez reports: Apple is standing by its decision to terminate the Apple Developer Account of Appstun, a mobile app company created by one of Apple’s own Worldwide Developer Conference 2021 student winners. According to an announcement published on Appstun’s website, Apple moved to terminate the devel … ⌘ Read more

@quark@ferengi.one Check out this thread if you haven’t already: https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/112464533481477428

I think we already know It’s likely to be a disaster.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL, well, great things come out of that worry, I can tell that much. Keep being you! :-)

@quark@ferengi.one

I think you are worrying about a non-issue.

That’s what I do best. 😏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think you are worrying about a non-issue. I see nothing to do on your example twt, because there is no context. Furthermore, if I wanted to follow the feed, everything I need is already on that twt example. :-)

@mckinley@twtxt.net agevault uses age, allegedly very secure (aiming to replace pgp/gpg). Comparing it with gocryptfs, from the user perspective, agevault seems simpler, though CLI exclusive. As the repository states, “Like age, it features no config options, allowing for a straightforward secure flow”. It would also run in all major OS platforms out of the box.

But agevault is also very new. Though age has been around for a while now, I don’t see an “audited” link (neither on agevault, nor age).

This tool, using age is pretty neat: https://github.com/ndavd/agevault. So simple, yet seemingly powerful!

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci their main question is worrisome:

“The main question is, does it disappear during this re-entry?” says Löhle. “Is everything evaporating, or are there pieces that eventually impact on the ground?”

He expects some parts, such as the satellite’s fuel tanks, to survive. “You could learn from the re-entry that if you build a fuel tank differently, it can break up,” he says.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com so lovely, ain’t it? A simple keystroke, and your “mystery” is solved. :-)

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net It’s great that US regulators have approved launching 40,000 satellites with a 5-year lifespan before we had this kind of information about what’s likely to happen when they start falling out of orbit at a rate of several per hour.

Falling satellite will give clues to how objects burn up on re-entry

@prologic@twtxt.net what made you make such “financially sound” recommendation? Have you switched jobs, and are now a Financial Advisor? :-P

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wow! We are “lucky” today, only 27°C here, 87% humidity, overcast, and raining sporadically. Thanks to the rain our temperatures aren’t high, but muggy nevertheless. I am ready for our winter too, you know, that whole week. LOL.

@prologic@twtxt.net My pod, which is running the same commit you are, does not return an error like that. It returns the same HTML it always has. Try it. I nuked my cache before restarting.

Edit: Oh wait, the plot thickens. I do get an error if I use curl or if I use a web browser that isn’t logged in. That’s good!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de pretty cool! Switched, and pulled. Nice update on README!

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org have you tried jenny’s fetch-context branch? It works great!

@bender@twtxt.net yup, this works well. I needed those extra settings.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think I have got it, but need to test upon receiving further posts. I added:

set uncollapse_new     = yes  # open threads when new mail
set uncollapse_jump    = yes  # jump to unread message when uncollapse
set collapse_unread    = no   # don't collapse threads with unread mails

Let’s see how it goes.

Maybe the @yarn_police@twtxt.net can take this case, and shed some light.

@bender@twtxt.net, cool, so I can join the threads, but your edit to the original will never show at my end. Will have @bender@twtxt.net show the screenshot.

OK. @quark@ferengi.one did not see this update, but should see this reply now, as broken.

@bender@twtxt.net, let’s break it!

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m not sure what this update does, but

https://twtxt.net/external?uri=https://google.com&nick=lovetocode999

still exhibits the same problem, on your pod and on mine, after the latest update.

@prologic@twtxt.net OK, I just updated to commit 77d527, which looks to be the same one you’re running right now. I forgot to blow away my cache before restarting, so I just deleted the cache file and restarted.
