I work for a company creating a recommendations algorithm. Eventually, we'll be training it to respond to user's past choices, but until the users have made any choices, we're feeding it our own recommendations. So, the whole thing is fundamentally based on our biases.
Is this wrong? What, do you think, are our obligations to our users?

What if we don't know what it does? Still illegal?

I've kept my work laptop on Mojave because I still need a 32 bit application: Lilypond. But I think I'll switch to linux in for the long term, as my organization may use a remote machine for building apps (and XCode hasn't been very coorperative anyways).
Others may want to hold out for better support of running mac apps from https://darlinghq.org

So, I guess I'm looking for a small computer which has a pci slot or mini pci slot, (I'm not looking for a laptop form factor), then I just need to buy one of those cards. I would hope to get something <$50, though my alternative is stringing ethernet cables across the house so the setup would be useful.

@emersion
Big ups, Google, for having an engineer who can converse among the best.

@chaosmonk
I see... I tried it with a raspberry pi 3 some months ago without success. Are there any resources (besides the source code) that might help with WiFi card support?
@sir

@sir
Cool, but can it connect to wifi?

@sir
And what percent of paying accounts? 🤔

Well, I'm late to the party, but already have some (original, never-before-seen) content:
gemini://gemini.zachdecook.com/capsule/2020-11-01-action-jones.gemini
Action Jones (The Story of a Lost Piece of Cultural History)

How a (formerly) online webseries captured my imagination, and the grief of its loss to the world.

I wonder when @solderpunk@tilde.zone will declare gemini complete and delete the mailing list.
Maybe subscribing to it was a bad idea.

@crunklord420
Exhibit A: those "soph" videos.

If this was a 40% split keyboard (running QMK firmware), I would legit buy it.
But full size... ugh. Who wants to have one hand in the middle of their crotch?

Maybe I shouldn't have asked that.

@sir
But no lower limit?

Wow, so @forgefed is making progress? I mean, it would probably be better for everyone to standardize on an email based workflow, but surely *some* standardization and interoperability is better than none!

@benis
Also, wasn't the goal 10,000? Math must be a little off.
Usually this spam is just @purism saying "what's 4 divided by ten? 40%! Hooray!"

If you really want to engage the fediverse, why not have your polls here, and have all the apps compete in a single elimination top two proceed tournament?

Started teaching myself how to use #sway this morning. Window manipulation feels fun. (I've always tended to organize windows in a tiling way).

Still need to port my xfce-shiftit script over (is there a command to get the current window's width?)

Also, I'm not sure about one thing: can you have a tabbed window inside a tiled layout? It's simple with programs that have tabs baked into them, but I want to have an alacritty window with multiple alacritty tabs.

@slisne
Just make your whole paragraph a link. There's no shame in that, and it makes it easier to click!
