@kubikpixel@chaos.socialbulletty - The TUI RSS/ATOM feed reader that lets you decide where to store your data.
bulletty is a TUI feed reader (RSS and ATOM). Read your subscriptions within your terminal. It downloads the entries for offline reading so all the data is local and yours: your subscriptions, highlights, comments, etc. All in an universal format: Markdown. Backup and sync your data directory your own way.

@boris@cosocial.caWoo hoo! You all get to start adding stuff to Cosmik Network’s Semble: a social bookmarking tool built on ATProto, so all your data is stored in your own account https://semble.so
I’ve been using it for weeks, have it as a PWA on my phone, and it’s been great to just get the basics of saving links somewhere.
@newstik@social.heise.deBeware of #spam calls offering you significant discounts on your phone or internet plan and a free high-end smartphone.
They start asking questions to collect info about you. It starts innocent: Who is your provider? How much data do you have on your own?
Don't tell them anything. Ask about the details of their offer, be insistent, they will give up.
Or just hang up.
@zachleat@zachleat.com@… it does do that, yes!
though I would suggest this pattern as being easier to use for storing arbitrary things: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/fet…
@cdp1337@social.bitsnbytes.devI thought I was going to be in luck, as there's a convenient 'Export Data' which generates a .zip containing all the source account data.
Went to the new instance expecting to import that zip, only to be greeted with 'This only supports CSV files'...

SO, my current thought process is to let the new server pull in posts from the original server organically, (with help from
@aral@mastodon.ar.alI haven’t added an example of how you implement migrations with Kitten’s¹ built-in JSDB database² yet but here’s one that I just used when renaming a field (property) in a table (JavaScript object) from “account” to “data” that illustrates the general granular approach you should take within persisted instances of JavaScript classes.
This is, of course, an advanced use case of the built-in JavaScript database that all Kitten apps have.
Kitten is simple for simple use cases. So ch…
@shriramk@mastodon.socialKathi asks ChatGPT "how to test a graph algo".
Repeats the query 6 months later…now it mentions PBT.
Huh! We ask it why it mentioned PBT. It cites back…
Our own papers and blog, and specifically mentions our own education research work on why graph algos are a great eg.
Moving the needle!
@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgOver on Blue Sky there is a thread telling you how to plot your own data in it too.
Very nice tools.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioFor the love fuck, this is meaningless. LLM models can't shut themselves off. They're never "on" in the first place. They don't have physicality or permanence.
It's an algorithm that transforms one state of data into another, and for each invocation needs to be fed the whole conversation again.
Perpetuating the unhinged bullshit that LLMs are somehow sentient is harmful.
Dear journalists, for the love of Carl Sagan's sweater vest get some actual experts to vet claims from the industry or indusry-adjacent sources and clarify your reporting.

@ErikJonker@mastodon.socialInteresting blog about creating a fully encrypted cloud storage on nextcloud.

@markhburton@mstdn.socialJust a tech note: for file transfer within your own network, #Warpinator on Linux, but available for Android and as "winpinator" for Winders, is brilliant: lightening fast and data doesn't go via the web.
@isonno@mastodon.socialTrump's goons may have removed the "Best Friends Forever" statue of him and Epstein from the national mall - but you can print your own copy!
3D data for the statue is posted here:

@Lach@social.linux.pizzaWhy can't we have this?
A social platform where your data lives on torrents. Signed with your own keys. Direct and group messaging can run on the same network. No central servers. No outages. No kill switch.
Scales naturally. Users control everything. Nobody can take it down. Nobody can lock you out.
Feels obvious. Still doesn’t exist. Why?
This could replace Facebook, Twitter, Bluesky, X (maybe even Mastodon, though ActivityPub is a different beast). It would be…
