Dear @mozilla
The only trustworthy AI is no AI in the browser.
Knock it off.

Could it be that this approach would also work for digital communities?
Who's to say really. Let's just do the thing we always do and see where we land. #mastodon

There's an interesting discussion at the bottom of bridgy docs about how different social networks have different interaction details.
For instance, it would appear if you have follow requests enabled on mastodon if you're bridged... that's not supported yet so they just auto-accept all followers 🙃

- How are activities routed? A bridge does more than just translate protocols and formats. It processes activities (events) based on domain-specific logic and semantics. The domain Bridgy Fed currently handles is public social microblogging, the kind popularized by Twitter. There are many other related social domains, with fuzzy boundaries and lots of overlap, eg forums (Reddit), questions and answers (StackOverflow), project trackers (GitHub), and many more, but here we're currently focused on microblogging. Even within that domain, behavior logic varies. Twitter follows are one way, but Facebook friends are bidirectional. Your Bluesky timeline (skyline) includes your followings' replies, but your fediverse timeline generally doesn't. LinkedIn...honestly I have no clue how LinkedIn works, but I'm sure it has its own logic, workfluencers and all. Here's what Bridgy Fed's activity router does. I've tried to make it follow "least common denominator" logic, ie do the most common and least surprising thing, and I've explicitly tried not to innovate or invent anything new here. It's a bridge, not a product, after all. (remote)

So it seems that the word's out, there will be layoffs at Mozilla. What is maddening about this is that the company is in a very good spot financially speaking. Just check the last public audited financial statement: https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2022/mozilla-fdn-2022-fs-final-0908.pdf
Expenses have been significantly lower than income and the company has significant assets that could cover Firefox development expenses for *years*.

So when @mozilla starts doing some non-browser related stuff online zealots decry them for not focusing on the browser. Now Mozilla is shedding some projects nobody asked for, specifically to focus on Firefox, and these same people are now complaining about that.
Oh, that's must be because they mentioned "AI"? My bet is that's just a marketing term to attract attention, not the actual reason.

Last night @bcantrill and I were joined by members of the Oxide storage team to talk about Crucible, the service that provides reliable, distributed, virtual block devices to VM instances in the Oxide Rack. We talk about the constraints, design, implementation, surprises... and the boundless future possibilities. With some Rust praise as usual! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEKSqBBcZw

“No standard mathematical functionality is supplied in Sartre. Instead, nihilists are created, which may damage the properties inherent to the data, and nihilators are executed to reclaim storage dynamically.
Sartre programmers, perhaps somewhat predictably, tend to be boring and depressed, and are no fun at parties. No comments will be made on the level of contrast between the Sartre programmer and any other programmer.”

@owa For more than a week, web developers have held their fire, assuming Apple might have a new (extremely belated) solution in the works, and Cupertino never talks about anything, so why would this be different?
That silence has gone from "disappointingly ineffective" to "epic self-own". This is a brazen attempt by Apple to sink the competition and claim they were forced to by those DMA meanies.
Time's up. We have to understand silence as an attempt to normalise the indefensible.

iOS 17.4 Beta 3 is out and PWAs are still broken in the EU. It's looking like Apple is going to break web apps and try to blame regulators. We can't let that happen, so now's a great time to join @owa and help push back.
This timely post has all the background:

that said, I think it's hard for people to learn from that kind of information. I suspect responses would be:
- I never shared that actually
- I don't believe the new info
- the fact that I fell for the original story really says something about society
