Keir Starmer Talks Trump, Russia-Ukraine War and the Fragile Europe-US Alliance
The British prime minister said in a series of conversations that the tectonic shifts in America’s relationship with Europe and Russia had to be a ‘galvanizing moment.’Mark Landler (The New York Times)
Russian military blogger Romanov confirms that Ukraine controls Demidovka, Belgorod region.
"The settlement is under Ukrainian control. Russian forces withdrew from the area, allowing the enemy to occupy it. Additionally, the moment of road demining by the enemy and the removal of “dragon’s teeth” was missed. Russian forces are now storming the settlement."
Official: Ukraine-U.S. negotiations in Riyadh have concluded – Defense Minister Umerov confirmed.
"The talks were constructive and substantive, covering key issues, including energy security," he said.
#Musk Is Positioned to Profit Off Billions in New Government Contracts
Within the #Trump admin’s #Defense Dept, #ElonMusk’s #SpaceX rocketry is being trumpeted as the nifty new way the #Pentagon could move #military cargo rapidly around the globe.
In the #Commerce Dept, SpaceX’s #Starlink satellite internet service will now be fully eligible for the federal govt’s $42B rural #broadband push, after being largely shut out during the #Biden era.

Musk’s SpaceX Could Secure Billions in New Contracts Under Trump
The boost in federal spending for SpaceX will come in part as a result of actions by President Trump and Elon Musk’s allies and employees who hold government positions. Supporters say he has the best technology.Eric Lipton (The New York Times)

A while ago I discovered someone made an e-ink Portal-inspired calendar. Well last week I finally caved, and bought all the parts to make my own!
This was my first foray into using an ESP32 (as well as soldering) so all things considered, I'm happy that it's running at all given my lack of skills in the areas.
If you want to make your own, the printables page has the models and a link to the GH with the code, BoM, and build instructions:

While I'm waiting for Apple to finally approve changes to my developer profile - which currently stops me from finishing an iOS project - I've been doing some Z80 doodling.
Ceres is a tiny multitasking kernel running on bare (no ROM) ZX Spectrum hardware. The first task to actually do something is the print task. It uses a custom 6x7 font, although it's currently printing it as 8x7 so it feels a little wide.
Next will be keyboard scanning in the kernel... that will be fun(?)...

Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez was a West Point graduate. While serving in Iraq, she was killed in action by an I.E.D., the first black female officer in U.S. military history to die in combat and the first female graduate of West Point to die in Iraq.
The video documenting why she chose to serve in the Army and in combat has been deleted by the Army under the Trump Administration.

"The Internet is a medium for creating new mediums — or at least it was."
— Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… )
My paraphrase of something Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ) said:
The original idea of WebFinger was to separate your identity from the application and services you use.
Rather that bind then together (as on the Fediverse).
Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ) quoting someone else:
"Be the media."
Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ) asked who knows the history of the telegraph.
( @reiver note: I do a bit. I learned Morse code as a young child — my father's sister's husband had me learn it.)
Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ) going from history of Telegram to the Telephone.
( @reiver note: My father was a Telecommunications Engineer. He was in the industry during both when it analog and digital eras. I heard A LOT about the physics, math, and technology of telephone technology. )
Paraphrasing Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ):
You could fix how Mastodon and the Fediverse uses WebFinger if WebFinger could point to multiple profiles.
It doesn't now. But it could.
#ATmosphereConf #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #MastoDev #Mastodon
Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ) top priorities:
• moderation tools
• fixing the relay problem
• lexicons
• plus A LOT more
(This was a ATproto specific answer.)
Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ) mentioned that the new Raspberry Pi 5 has the same computing power as Twitter when it had 5 million users.
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
The 3 big efforts to try to re-decentralize the Web and Internet:
• blockchains <--- most money went here
• P2P
• federation
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
P2P has a lot problems.
For example — Creating a good comment section is extremely difficult if not impossible, with P2P
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
ActivityPump got renamed to ActivityPub — that was a good rename 🙂
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
The worst thing we (Bluesky) did to people was request them to understand DNS.
For example — one time we had to explain DNS to Flavor Fav.
🙂
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
"What if we (Bluesky) did P2P with servers — I'll call that server-to-server."
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
Bluesky / ATProto lexicon almost was RDF — and would have been if Paul had more time.
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
Bluesky didn't use ActivityPub for 2 reasons —
№1:
Because of the identity issue.
Once you make a choice (of server) you are locked in.
You cannot migrate freely.
(Current Fediverse migration not good enough.)
№2:
The culture on the Fediverse at the time.
There was a culture on the Fediverse of being hostile towards global aggregators.
( @reiver note: AFAICT, this is a very small minority of hyper hostile individuals.)
Paul Frazee ( @pfrazee.com ):
Bluesky practical decentralization:
• cost reduction — cheaper relays
• AppView / self-hosted Bluesky — partial sync based on follow graph — can we reach $100 per month — build smarter sync engine — indiesky
• improve user-experience
• PLC governance — moving to separate legal entity

Nick Gerakines ( @ngerakines.me ) and someone in the audience —

Peter Wang ( bsky.app/profile/wang.social ):

Peter Wang ( bsky.app/profile/wang.social ):

Peter Wang ( bsky.app/profile/wang.social ) mentioned a previous talk of his:
He (Peter) is interested in investing in AI.
(Ignore the current AI hype. The useful stuff.)
He wants humane and human-focused AI.
Jay Graber ( @jay.bsky.team ) mentioned:
"A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace", by John Perry Barlow (of EFF fame)
Jay Graber ( @jay.bsky.team ):
"Have you heard of the butterfly-effect."
( @reiver note: you can be the butterfly who can have a large effect.)
I have gone to one of the unrecorded discussion rooms, since the talks are recorded (and I can watch it later).
Topics up to discuss:
• user intents
• AI feed
• classification & moderation
• using social-media content for research
• labeling & AI tags
Talking about ATProto user-intent first.
Peter Wang wants gov't regulators to enforce ATProto user-intent.
( @reiver note: I think that would be a very bad idea — a cure that would be worse than the disease.)
The same person (Peter Wang) is talking about licensing — i.e., requiring gov't permission.
( @reiver note: again, I think that would be a very bad idea — a cure that would be worse than the disease.)
Rabble ( @rabble ) talking about how — if you had someone else's PDS user-data on your phone, German regulation would require you to file paperwork every single time you cross a German state line. And, if you don't, the whole social-media is illegal under German GDPR law.
I brought up an issue regarding regulation —
How do you create a law that distinguishes the difference between thr learning that humans do versus learning that AIs do.
(I don't think this is a point that should be ignored — as you could end up with a cure that is worse than the disease.)
Boris Mann ( @boris ) talking about if the community made their ATProto docs CC-NC, then Bluesky company could not contribute.
Oops — unintended consequence.
Conner Ruhl mentioning that regulations is favoring AI companies with lots of money and hurting open-source AI projects that don't have money to deal with regulations.
Conner Ruhl mentioning that ATProto user-intents is giving people a false sense of security.
Bad actor won't care about them.
If you want to be private, you need to actually make your data private!
One person pointing out that an "anti-AI intent" would prevent people from using anti-spam filters, since it is AI.
( @reiver note: I have said similar a number of times elsewhere.)
One person from Flipboard pointing out that, AI is used to look for hate-speech, and look for pornographic images, etc.
An "anti-AI" intent would block that, too.
Conner Ruhl — Bluesky's still sucks a bit in terms of onboarding, because it lacks some of the AI necessary to do that.
One person saying — builders have mostly left Mastodon (and gone to Bluesky), because when developers try to build on Mastodon, they get yelled at, and maybe even receive death threats.
A person talking about — it is difficult to build a collaborative filtering (AI) because 3rd parties don't have enough data, that Bluesky company has.
Ex: what the person looked at, etc.
Staying in the unrecorded discussion rooms, since the talks are recorded (and I can watch it later).
Now on Private data. (New host. New topic.)
Private data versus Secret data
Private — you are ok with people knowing the information existing, but don't want them to know the value.
Secret — don't even want people to know the data exists.
From @boris :
Direct Message (DM) — private, only visible to the participants.
From @pfrazee.com :
Want end to end encryption (E2EE).
MLS (Messaging Layer Security) being talked about.
Proposed for DMs for Bluesky.
@pfrazee.com mentioned this during his talk.
@rabble mentioning that they have done tests of MLS on Nostr.
Someone pointing out that — MLS (Messaging Layer Security) would introduce centralization to Bluesky.
Some people arguing that Signal should make it so others can integrate them more easily.
So that Bluesky could use them for direct messaging (DMing).
From @boris :
This conference to kick of many working-groups and many special-interest-groups, that go off and do their thing.
Person from Germ Network (direct messaging) here.
@boris strongly encouraging them to be part of DM working group, for ATProto.
A number of questions about them.

GitHub - hometown-fork/hometown: A supported fork of Mastodon that provides local posting and a wider range of content types.
A supported fork of Mastodon that provides local posting and a wider range of content types. - hometown-fork/hometownGitHub
Someone pointing out that —
When you have E2EE (end to end encryption) you have to do all the work on the client-side — since the client-side is the only one that can decrypt it.
( @reiver note: that isn't completely true — there are some encryption techniques that can allow certain operations on cyphertext.)

Rudy Fraser ( bsky.app/profile/rudyfraser.co… ) values can be summarized as:
Software as resistance
Rudy Fraser ( bsky.app/profile/rudyfraser.co… ):
CashApp not designed for mutual-aid, but it has been used for it.
A parallel for decentralized social-media, too. Can be used for things it is not designed for.
Rudy Fraser ( bsky.app/profile/rudyfraser.co… ) :
Decentralized Social-Media protocols have horse-less carriage syndrome —
People are trying to build things that look at lot like things in the past.
(But it doesn't have to. It can be something new.)

Bluesky more geared towards 1B people sized communities.
Fediverse more geared towards 100K person sized communities.
Nothing in the middle for 1M people sized communities. (Blacksky is there.)
Rudy Fraser ( bsky.app/profile/rudyfraser.co… ) :
People don't want to be just stuck in one community. But also want access to other communities. And have access to the wider world.
Rudy Fraser ( bsky.app/profile/rudyfraser.co… ) :
Content moderation should be on a per community basis. How do you build tech to enable that?
Rudy Fraser ( bsky.app/profile/rudyfraser.co… ) :
Blacksky is really a number of separate communities grouped together.
(Ex: blackademics.)

(Will watch the recorded session later. Hopefully other post about the 2 other unrecorded sessions.)
Talking about using Blueskt social-graph to have content on day 1.
So, deal with the chicken-and-the-egg problem — of audience and content.
Someone asking about maybe there are content creators who don't want their post to go to all of Bluesky.

The only reason YouTube gave such a good cut of ad revenue to creators is that — back in the day, they had competitors who were giving better cuts.

Decentralized social-media is also an opportunity to make a better advertising system.
Block bad advertisers. Allow good advertisers.
Someone pointing out that — even though it is popular to hate cryptocurrencies nowadays — there are some places in the world where a person's only practical option to receive an international payment is cryptocurrencies.
Using signatures to address deep-fake.

. @pfrazee.com mentioning that AWS will pull your account if you do not respond quick enough to copyright claims.
Even when the claims are BS claims from trolls.
Doesn't matter the time of the day or the day or the week.
. @blaine :
Bluesky and Fediverse are going to end up with very, very similar protocols, as they each fix their problems.
They are both already talking about bringing in things from the other.
. @darius :
Bluesky seems like it is getting an inbox / outbox style architecture — just like the Fediverse.

Finished my trans flag hooded scarf. Really like how it looks with the hood down too.
There are some fundamental design flaws with it though. The scarf is only attached to one side of the hood, so if you don't button it down, it's very liable to fly off. Maybe less a problem with the thicker, stiffer yarn the pattern originally recommended, but still seems an odd choice....
Nonetheless, I wear it around everywhere now. 😛
