#Mastodon

Here's a conceptual programming question for you:

If I have a static site generator, can I make it federated..? :anime_huh:

I mean, I think you can set up an RSS feed so that the feed is updated when the site is updated.

Could that be federated? Tied to a federated platform to handle the dynamic aspects, maybe..?

I ask, because when people were asking about better "web comic" platforms, some of the stuff they asked for were my reason for making "LunaGen" for my landing site for serial episode content.

Could it be federated? Does that even make sense? Would I lose the benefits of a static website? 🤔 :raccoon_cool:

@smallcircles @egonw @wikipedia @robin Wow, thank you for this link, I had no clue about this. But if Google replaces indexing and search by #GenAI answers, weil it then not participate in the levy system any more?

@jdlh I thought you might find this one interesting!

The Firewall, Offlimits en Consumentenbond spannen een kort geding aan tegen bigtechbedrijf Meta en brillenfabrikant EssilorLuxottica. Onze eis is dat ze hun AI-brillen per direct van de markt halen. Waarom doen we dit, en op welke juridische gronden?

Humans build things and care for each other. This is what we evolved to do. It's something we're driven biologically to do, and we feel bad when we don't do it. That bad feeling is every ancestor who survived through mutual aid burying every (not) ancestor who died from competition.

We build commons. Capitalism is a system that maximizes the extraction of value. Looting commons, be it land or water resources managed for generations, or a tradition of information sharing built up over generations, or systems of trust built up over decades, capitalism is a machine that turns shared wealth and shared costs into centralized wealth and externalized costs.

Capitalist markets are basically a genetic algorithm that uses wealth as a fitness function. One of the properties of these algorithms is that they will have side effects. Destroying commons is an unavoidable side effect. Every possible common will be destroyed until we choose a better algorithm on which to base our society.

@evan no, not really.

I'm just annoyed that the fediverse is treating any object as belonging to a global namespace when that's simply not true.

What I do do is to give tags an actual HTML representation, where there's details and what not. (See something like https://releases.bruta.link/tags/New )

And I plan to use them this way in the different instances of the brutalinks link aggregator. On it local tags can be used to differentiate between actor roles on each instance: moderators as an example.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@JulianOliver/117487746392492833

I'm currently trying to find or setup some kind of Initiative for collective degrowth and disinvestment from big tech here in Finland, particularly in the Uusimaa region where I'm at.

I've already been in contact with @abolish-ai who are doing some work in the nordics, and was recently in touch with someone in Finland that had a few pointers for me. So if you're new in Finland like me and feeling clueless I do have a little info I can share as well :)

Grateful for any insights, kiitos!
