A programmer's loss of a social identity - ratfactor

Two stone fruits, both alike in dignity,
In my ktichen, where we lay our scene.

One, fresh from Colesworth, round and tight, even colour, big and bold.

The other, a little worn and small, somewhat aged in visage, overlong (so I thought) on the garden tree.

The first, visually enticing, but half rotten, half unripe inside - thrown into the compost. A fitting end.

The other, less appealing at face, but evenly ripe and melt-in--the-mouth luscious inside, tart and sweet together, a worthy bearer of the name 'nectarine'.

Nectar-ine, indeed!

With #HolosDiscover we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no #nobot or #noindex in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts. Every deletion, edit or block was processed instantly via #ActivityPub.
Google uses that same "indexable" flag but ignores everything else, keeps deleted content cached for weeks.
We shut it down after pushback. Was that the right call? Don't hesitate to share, this concerns the whole Fediverse.

Sometimes differences in time zones have advantages; I get both a lazy Sunday morning and Caturday!

TIL that there's an #openstreetmap feature that shows #fediverse instances.

Edit: Adding thanks to @jaz for making the map

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.
