Pour ou contre l'intégration de l'IA dans la prochaine évolution du protocole ActivityPub ?
Sachant en plus, et c'est ahurissant, que meta fait partie du groupe de travail …

For or against integrating AI into the next evolution of the ActivityPub protocol?
Knowing furthermore, and this is mind-boggling, that meta is part of the working group ...

Destroying Autocracy – 13 February 2025

Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.

It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting democracy. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.

DA comes out on Thursday and is updated through the end of day on Friday. Then we start over. So take your time in perusing it and check back in over the weekend.

FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.

Featured Item

404 Media writes:

A new paper from researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University finds that as humans increasingly rely on generative AI in their work, they use less critical thinking, which can “result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved.”

“A key irony of automation is that by mechanizing routine tasks and leaving exception-handling to the human user, you deprive the user of the routine opportunities to practice their judgement and strengthen their cognitive musculature, leaving them atrophied and unprepared when the exceptions do arise,” the researchers wrote.

@elk @gotosocial Haha, yeah …

I also totally forgot about my weird configuration for preventing other #ActivityPub instances to use my #Elk deployment. I was able to turn on notifications now (now = made the volume rw, deleted the instance’s directory, and made the volume ro afterwards) but forgot mobile #Firefox to allow notifications in general AND for my site …

We’ll see 😃

#activitypub is not beer drinking in a pub.

Could someone told me before...

Oh man, why did I ever think that implementing multiple storage backends for my #activitypub service was a good idea?

Having to backport new features across 4 versions is becoming a bit of a pain in the butt I have to say.

post (@post@community.nodebb.org)

@panos brought up something interesting recently, which is that Lemmy communities don't boost everything (at least when viewed from Mastodon), but just the original post.

I wasn't sure whether this was intentional (because 1b12 definitely specifies that everything is boosted, replies and all). The only explanation I can think of is that 1b12 boosts activities, and Mastodon doesn't understand that, so it's actually an implementation quirk that causes Mastodon to not actually see the entire conversation.

NodeBB used to Announce(Note) and Announce(Create(Note)), and it meant that Mastodon was seeing everything. This was desirable from a synchronization standpoint, but it meant everything was going into Mastodon user feeds, which was @panos' concern.

I think Guppe (which is kind of like 1b12? Not sure) boosts everything, but again, am not 100% sure.

Kinda obsessed with the idea that #ActivityPub & #matrix could link up to easily give everyone a universal ID for both public social media and private groups. And that matrix servers could go beyond encrypted messaging to give everyone the group functionality they find in Facebook and Discord.

The civic primacy of social media won't be well understood and accepted until people have a simple and better way to handle their more closed community needs outside of the corporate platforms. #SocialWeb

Does anybody here can me to solve a doubt on and portability?

Context; I am writing a post about Mastodon and Bluesky and wouldn’t like to be imprecise.

I read in a blog that ActivityPub actually allows moving data of users and content from one server to another and that it is the Mastodon development of ActivityPub which puts the problem of portability.
