Leadership: What is important, what redundant projects should be joined or axed and their developers merged.

The sick sad history of computer-aided collaboration:

Who made this?

• I’d like it if it said Matrix is federated, Signal is not.
• Meta should be grouped together.
• Aren’t there other alternatives to Reddit than Lemmy, so there should be more arrows going out of Reddit?

Something should be said about fringe servers (I’d never say “instance” except “server = instance”) and defederation both ways being common, so your home server choice matters. The email comparison is broken and should include “in principle” and then continue with “in practice [real situation]”. This is a start:

I like the yellow bubble here, but it’s inaccurate in many ways:

The infograph we’re looking for should also say at least:

• Manipulation can be done by outside forces making fake users, not Fediverse programmers.
• Censorship is done by server administrators and community moderators, but (on Lemmy at least) community and its server censor your post, not your home server. Might show a scale of servers where lemmy.world is at the strict end.
• Your votes are public, you can be tracked, but it’s not done by default.
• On Lemmy, you shape your default firehose (‘all’) feed by muting (users, communities, servers), not by up/downvoting or following. A normal person will have to mute tens of communities for the feed to start looking tolerable. This is one of the many prices of freedom you will have to pay, as are bugs and user experience issues. (AFAIK, no fedi platform uses votes for feed shaping, but many commercial ones do.)
• The choices between apps or web-ui should be shown for each fedi platform.

When I lived in Taipei, Taiwan, there was a military exercise in that area with civilian curfew for a whole day. Finally the constant traffic roar went silent and I could keep my windows open and listen to birds and insects. A pleasant curfew.

There is money invested elsewhere than the home. Usually mutual funds, I believe, with different problems: https://lemmy.world/post/25608765

When USA developed collaborative computers for humanity 1939-1983, in between conservatives attacking the project.

Increased blood lead level in children has been correlated with decreases in intelligence, nonverbal reasoning, short-term memory, attention, reading and arithmetic ability, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement. … The effect of lead on children’s cognitive abilities takes place at very low levels.

High blood lead levels in adults are also associated with decreases in cognitive performance and with psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

Stunt Car Racer can have two players on two Amigas with a serial cable connecting them.

If so, it must be because they don’t have enough R&D money because we haven’t been buying them. Own goal.

Let’s not clone trash. Tinder sucks because it has no matching mechanism to filter out incompatible people. To find one interesting profile on Tinder I have to swipe about 500 profiles. To get more matches, I risk some false positives and like ~2% of profiles. Then I need to filter the matches in person. Very inefficient, a waste of time.

The opposite of that was OkCupid before Match Group destroyed it.

I may have caused that by going to Computex Taipei 2018 and 2019 and asking all laptop makers for better ergonomics via increased distance between the keyboard and the display, gesturing sliding the display upwards on rails, saying that there could even be two screens on top of each other.

Prussian schooling everywhere.

No. We’ve only scratched the surface of computer-aided collaboration. We could have a crowd thinking space with a consensus development environment, but instead progress has been opposed and we’re stuck with primitive wikis. My industry and career are standing still with extreme potential to improve humanity.

You might prefer confabulation, or bullshitting.

I wouldn’t dare have everything invested in one house. What if there’s a bubble about to burst? What if the house is hit by a disaster that insurance won’t cover? If I owned a house, I’d probably take some debt and buy foreign shares not related to house prices.
