We just released #Mastodon 4.4.1, a small patch release fixing a few issues with 4.4.0.

We recommend to install this version instead of 4.4.0 when you update your server.

Full release notes and update instructions are available on our GitHub release page: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.1

If you post a job opening on the Fediverse, please make sure it includes the salary range and location.

Salary ranges are mandatory by law to be shared with job posts in some jurisdictions.

Also, we're way past that bizarre game to waste everyone's time by trying to guess what each other is willing to pay and work for.

This is just silly and unprofessional.
Advertise your salary range.

For those not up to speed with the latest AI jargon, I hope to clarify some things:

• AI: Actually Indians
• LLM: Low-cost Labor in Mumbai
• AGI: A Genius Indian
• GPT: Gujarati Professional Typist
• API: A Person in India

Every time a company promises a revolutionary “AI” product, they just exploit cheap labor from India.

My friend in Norway just came home with this lovely old girl, wow. 💜 When I asked her if she’d mind me sharing the photo here, she said no, go ahead, this beauty should be shared. What a find! I see them around sometimes but never in this good a shape.

Cycling friends will also be pleased to know she hauled this heavy thing home on her cargo bike. :)

Update: she paid only 500 kroner - ~$50!!

Jay Kuo says that two reports that came out yesterday about the horrifying conditions at Alligator Auschwitz did not get the attention they deserve, so he wants to draw attention to them:

"Anna McAllister of CBS News reported on the inhumane conditions for immigrants now held inside fenced cages in the camp."

AI is bad compression. Every time you run training material through it, you get a lossy summary of that material back, along with some noise.

You quickly run out of *quality* training material and start dog-fooding the output back in. Then you end up with lossy summaries of lossy summaries, and eventually all your pizza sauce recipes are dog food.
