@Edent I think the important bit would be the namespace in the corresponding file!

So in the jetpack file, the namespace is:

namespace Automattic\Jetpack\Extensions\Social_Previews;

If you find multiple files with that namespace and "const FEATURE_NAME = ..." , I think that would be the problem.

@Edent LOL, according to Google, you're not the only one with this issue: https://www.google.com/search?q=Constant+automattic%5Cjetpack%5Cextensions%5Csocial_previews%5CFEATURE_NAME+already+defined&rlz=1C5CHFA_enDE1097DE1098&oq=Constant+automattic%5Cjetpack%5Cextensions%5Csocial_previews%5CFEATURE_NAME+already+defined&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBBzE1MWowajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

From a first glance, it looks like the constant is redeclared somewhere. Can you "grep" the whole installation if something like "const FEATURE_NAME = 'social-previews';" appears multiple times?

The greatest danger of so-called AI isn’t that it will become some kind of science fiction super-intelligence that takes over the planet from humans.

The danger is that this technology will continue to be as stupid as it is now, but humans will, out of laziness and greed, allow the stupid technology to make important decisions automatically.

@abhinav_sidhu true @janole’s Gravity. It was the best Twitter client I have ever used.

15 years ago, I live-streamed myself being stop-and-searched by the British Transport Police.

Lots of the links in the blogpost are now dead, but I was lucky enough to save most of the video.

I have *complex* thoughts about that event. Never been more grateful for my visible privileges. Going viral for something like that was - at times - disturbing.

S44 was repealed after ECHR ruled it was a violation of the right to a private life.

Am I A Dick?

Well. Yes, probably. I have a small character flaw. I don't like authority. I question authority. I overreact sometimes. This is me being stopped under Section 44(2) of The Terrorism Act 2000. I informed the police that I would be videoing and streaming to QIK. The video was cross posted to Phreadz and discussed on [...]

Hmpf. So Twitter finally killed API access for Gravity as well. Wish I had some spare time to work on the Mastodon feature of Gravity ...

Now @mozilla is officially building upon the Fediverse. Their foray will be an instance hosted at mozilla.social.

But I hope they go further than this:

1. Make Thunderbird a Fediverse client
2. Build in-browser Fediverse functionality
3. Support a Fediverse app ecosystem

Mozilla can do so much to further the Fediverse. Let's hope that they think big.

“A town square, by definition, can’t be a business. It needs to be a space owned by the people. That’s what an Elon Musk Twitter can never be, and what Mastodon already is.”

An excellent article by @jhpot (in Wired, the Silicon Valley venture capitalist hero worship and surveillance capitalism public relations rag, of all places).

Mastodon Features That Twitter Should Steal (but Won’t)

Elon Musk's platform could learn a thing or two from its most popular alternative—like how to build a social platform people actually want to be on.
