Two years later, it really feels like the #Threads interpolation was just one big A/B test to see what it would take for federated users to hop the fence and join #Meta

Every incremental "improvement" favors Meta.

EchoFeed is pure RSS magic. If you publish a feed and want to automate putting that content pretty much anywhere else online (with fancy custom post templates and variables!), EchoFeed is what you’re looking for. And as a bonus, Robb is the nicest person you’ll ever meet.

This talk presents a taxonomy of systems complexity, along two dimensions (Simple vs Complex, Emergent vs Engineered):

1. Constructed: Engineered, Complex
2. Rebellious: Emergent, Simple
3. Accreted: Emergent, Complex
4. Revolutionary: Engineered, Simple

It includes a lot of thoughtful discussion about Fred Brooks' concepts of essential and accidental complexity.

They're both sort of hoping that the #EpsteinFiles are enough to pacify us.

Learning about the breed of sheep that has evolved to eat only kelp and can no longer abide the grass of its ancestors. Perhaps one day it will return to the sea as a cousin to the seal and the dolphin

[
[![The sheep have evolved a somewhat different physiology from other sheep, due to their unusual diet: their digestive system has adapted to extract the sugars in seaweeds more efficiently. 22] A 2005 study at the University of Liverpool found that they have a greater susceptibility to copper toxicity, when compared with a more traditional breed such as the Cambridge. 145) This is because seaweed has a chemical which inhibits the absorption of copper, so the sheep have to absorb copper more efficiently to obtain the required amount. 122] The levels of copper found in typical sheep feed, including grass, are toxic for this breed. [31][46] Studies at the Universities of Liverpool and Minnesota suggest that they can extract four times more copper from their diet than more traditional breeds. 451[47]]6

PSA: despite having Epi-Pens my entire life, literally no doctor ever bothered to tell me the reason they come in 2-packs isn’t so you can keep the backup somewhere else, but because you might get in a situation where one pen doesn’t buy you enough time, and so you shouldn’t separate them.

Positive update on #ChatControl. The EU's member states are set to officially agree to delete forced mass scanning orders (which could undermine encryption) this week!

This puts the protection of civil liberties in a much better situation for final negotiations with the EU Parliament.

However, it doesn't mean that all the proposal's issues have been solved - we're especially worried about the threat of forcing message apps, email services and app stores to perform risky age verification.
