If it's between

A. the people who live in the margins; who always experience the brunt of techno-utopia, and

B. the tech-bros who say "it'll be different this time"

I'm giving all the grace and benefit of doubt to group A.

Every time. Always. Forever. ❤️ #SmallWeb #indieWeb #Fediverse #fediverseMeta

The small digital community is an act of defiance. It exists in a web where perpetual growth and relentless extractions are the only pursuits.

Imagine stumbling across a post you wrote about the web, curation, and algorithms, only to see a "Save a Click" AI summary in the comments lmao.

Eugen Rochko on recent Mastodon spam. I haven’t noticed any problems yet but I expect some spam DMs will hit Micro.blog from this as well:

There is an ongoing spam attack on the fediverse for the last couple of days. It’s more widespread than before, as attackers are targeting smaller servers to create accounts. Before, usually only mastodon.social was targeted and our team could take care of it.

Request to add a Bluesky icon and link

…Just as the title says, and since Bluesky will be federating its protocol soon, it’d be nice to have a “Share to Bluesky” Jetpack link added using their 🦋 icon.

@ivory What does it take for eg @LemmyDev, @pixelfed, #indieweb to show up as quoted toots? What metadata are you looking at?

Recent thing on my website, How to sync Lire with Miniflux https://robertkingett.com/posts/6493/ #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

It has occurred to me that I've had this profile for a good minute now, and haven't done an introduction yet. Soo...hi! I'm Piper.

I'm a professional illustrator and underground cartoonist (who you may know under a slightly different former name), as well as a musician, (former) chef, and resident jazz DJ over on https://datafruits.fm.

You can find my illustration work portfolio over at https://sarahallenreed.com (until I move the domain name over to my current moniker; I'll update this once I've found the time to do so). I also keep a little #Indieweb -esque blog over at https://truckstop.coffee, if you want to read it.

I tend to use Mastodon more for unfiltered thoughts, goofin' about and makin' friends than for promotion, but you'll occasionally see me postin' stuff I'm working on, things I'm putting out into the world, and that sort of thing.

Mostly, though, it'll be things I'm hacking on, food I've cooked, cigars and pipe tobaccos I've enjoyed, records I'm listening to, glamour shots of my beloved typewriter and word processor collection, and cute pics of my even-more-beloved doggo, Polyhymnia.

With that stated, here's a few photos of things I think represent what I'm on about fairly well, as well as a photo of me and my beloved fuzzy idiot. Feel free to say hi down below. I look forward to interacting with all of you!

Tomorrow at 8am CET I'm publishing a post/newsletter about how ChatGPT 4 solved that Captcha. Except it didn't.

A few things:

* We should stop being surprised by digital algorithms solving digital challenges faster than humans.
* Captchas were being solved by computers back in 2013. Eleven years is a long time for us to then get a tool like ChatGPT that could not solve it.
* Captchas were never easy to solve for humans (and by design impossible for many)
* One reason Captchas kept being pushed was because we were all being used as free labor by Google for training AI, since 2014. Before training AI, we were transcribing books.
* It's estimated that 500 human years are wasted every single day — just for us to 'prove our humanity'.
* Tech progress isn't as fast as everyone is led to believe. It's either heavily misrepresented, or sometimes we're just late at becoming aware.
* An AI trained on George Carlin's material wrote new material. Not. Because actually humans wrote it.
* I've also added a video of Musk promising full self-driving "next year", every year since 2014.

I write a lot about digital ethics and human rights in tech. If you're curious I'd love to see you as a subscriber.

There's a traditional newsletter or you can opt for the RSS feed(!). You actually don't have to disclose personal data to subscribe to my content, which I believe was always what I loved about the early blogosphere.

Also, it's free and open to anyone:
