I don't get it. I am not a frequent #AI user but do not reject it completely for now. Just casually checking some AI comments in some AI project makes me shudder.

After having taken some time off, I'm back to working on open source software and messing with open protocols.

If you wonder who is going to vote fore One Nation I would be betting Federation Council at Corowa would be a start.

Federation Council to remove Indigenous flags from chamber
Despite strong opposition, the council on the NSW-Victoria border will remove Indigenous flags from its chamber after it was revealed there were no protocols to display them.

during the #formosa talk at day1 of #realworldcrypto i see they reference signalapp/noise-c using some jade implementation for the pqkem. i wonder why don't the use the formally verified noise-star project instead?

"Snoopy", "Adolf" e "Password": le password del governo ungherese esposte online
Quasi 800 indirizzi e-mail del governo ungherese e le relative password stanno circolando online, rivelando vulnerabilitŠ di base nei protocolli di sicurezza dei ministeri coinvolti in attivitŠ classificate e sensibili.
Un’analisi di Bellingcat dei dati della violazione mostra che 12 dei 13 ministeri del governo sono stati colpiti, il che in alcuni casi ha rivelato le in…

still not sold on having to rely on new protocols (gemini) or very old protocols (gopher) instead of making a wiser use of the ones used at large (http). When the solution is to add more software I’m skeptical by default

The Purpose of Protocols

The Purpose of Protocols
Every open social protocol generates shared resources, but none has produced a governance framework adequate to those resources. So who fills that vacuum?

Should we experiment some more with #runtimes and #protocols?
This is deliberately a very general question.
Drop your thoughts in replies, I'd love to exchange!

This article is interesting about thoughts of using flying networks to support military operations.
It is a complex system - and my sense is that they will screw it up with application specific protocols and APIs that evolve and change over time as as military events (the kind that go boom or are intentional forms of in-band attacks - think everything from hyper-phishing to spoofing to zero-day attacks).
But even if it were put together with the precision of a Swiss watch, my old…

OpenAI says it will overhaul safety protocols and establish direct contact with Canadian police, after not alerting authorities about the Tumbler Ridge suspect (Mickey Djuric/Politico)

There seems to be a new attempt to turn ActivityPub into some centralized monolithic thing with hard coded limited vocabularies. This is an attempt to have a new central power in social networking via the control of the vocabularies of the exchange protocols.
The argument is the same for the same attempt in the area of credentials and wallets: The format is sooo complex, we can't implement. Let's do a simple protocol instead. And BTW, protocol/format combinations are great, pl…
