(7/8) What the decades-long dithering of the world's "political leaders" means in concrete terms can be told by Selina Neirok, a young activist and artist for whom climate change is neither an abstract seminar topic nor a vague threat in some distant future. For Selina Neirok, climate change is a daily, immediate threat to her home, her friends, her family and her future. But listen for yourself to what she had to say at Ars Electronica 2022: https://ars.electronica.art/planetb/en/spotlight-selina-neirok-leem/ #sustainability #clubofrome
Spotlight by Selina Neirok Leem
Communities like those of the the low-lying Majōl (Republic of Marshall Islands), a sprawling chain of islands and islets in the Pacific Ocean, are at the frontlines of climate change. They are at risk of losing everything including their very way of life – to a crisis they did not create. By
Here is a nice table of all of the (binary) gates for you to enjoy.
Unary gates seem boring but there are still 4 of them... even though we only really care about NOT.
What is it about NAND and NOR that make them single gate foundations?
Is there a way to explain that isn't exhaustive and exhausting? #mathematics

as an indigenous person who has been on fedi since the beginning of mastodon, i have to say that i find a lot of what @chanda is saying to be very real, and watching her talk about safety in the fediverse has been cathartic.
everyone should listen to what she has to say, not respond but just listen.
Chris TrottierEDIT: DO NOT BOOST!
This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.
I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.
This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.
Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.
However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

Paul CantrellModeration is a hard problem.
It is an •intrinsically• hard problem. It’s not hard because of design choices or tech choices or incentives or laws or capitalism. It’s hard because humans.
Ignoring it doesn’t magically make it easy.
Grand edicts don’t magically make it easy.
AI doesn’t magically make it easy.
And federation doesn’t magically make it easy.
It’s •work•. Real work. And when that work doesn’t happen, it causes harm.

What happens to your Mastodon account if a server closes down?
Servers can decide to close down. But all of the servers listed at JoinMastodon.org are required to give at least 3 months notice if this happens.
So the server’s members have time to transfer their accounts to other servers. The transfer process lets people keep their followers and follows.

Gemma StoneHey Mastodon. I co-founded a website specifically for trans voices because mainstream media and politicians keep talking about us but never let us be part of that conversation.
Check out some of our cool shit; https://transwrites.world/miss-major-speaks-book-review/
Miss Major Speaks: The Life and Legacy of a Black Trans Revolutionary review - Trans Writes
As a Black trans person and long-time resident of San Francisco, I was excited for the opportunity to review Miss Major Speaks. While I haven’t had the honor of meeting Miss Major Griffin-Gracy in person, I have met and worked with many trans folks whose lives she has touched, several of whom are named in the book’s Acknowledgements.
Robert Kingett updatesI've created a small, incomplete, list of instances with moderators of color.
The list and suggestions became to much to keep up on my own, so here is a Google document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pTmSMpq8lMYyYlHT25DgTmdMmE6ysUyRHGiq-E4XdQ/edit?usp=sharingp

New Copy of Fediverse instances with moderators of color
This initially started out as a post but I am offline more than online, so cannot keep up this list. This is why anybody can edit the document. The original is hidden, but I'd encourage you all to make a wiki based on the below instances and information. Hosting your own wiki. For a fully mana...
Vicki BoykisSome important rules when considering adding ML to your app:
1. Start building without machine learning
2. Continue without machine learning
3. Be blissfully unaware of concept drift, model versioning, AUC, and feature engineering
4. Turn off the computer
5. Go outside and buy a small child an ice cream cone
6. Sit with your beloved under the stars and, wonder at the vastness of the universe and your small role in it
7. Turn the computer back on, you’re now ready to add only linear regression
