dame@dame.is · 2d agoAnthropic is introducing a new policy to address users who are being abusive and cruel towards Claude. This is good and shouldn’t be controversial. Humans that perpetrate abuse and cruelty towards things, even “inanimate” or “lower” lifeforms, should face consequences for their behavior.

Lyre Calliope 🧭✨@captaincalliope.at · 2mo agoStray product(s) idea. A class of atproto apps should be spa's (single page apps) installable directly to our pds @wisp.place style. Apps should be distributed, not hosted. I should be able to install the Bluesky app to bluesky.captaincalliope.at, and then install that to my phone and desktop.
this is unbelievably good 🤯

that sort of technological solutionism always reminds of this interview with joseph weizenbaum — creator of ELIZA, the first chatbot! — on the role of computers in education ebiquity.umbc.edu/paper/html/i...
![Q: What, if anything, do you think should be the role of the computer in education?
I'll tell you my reaction to that question without answering it directly. There's a Russian joke that goes something like this: Two people are standing in a very large breadline in Moscow, and they're talking about the fact that the harvest failed once more and that's why there's a shortage of bread, and one of them says to the other, "You know, it's all the fault of the Jews and the bicyclists." The other one says, "Why the bicyclists?" and the first one answers, "Why the Jews?"
You might have said "What is the role of computers and bicycles in education?" Then I would have said, "Why the bicycles?" and you "Why the computer?"
A: Yours is an often-asked question. In a sense, it is upside-down. You start with the instrument; the question makes the assumption that of course the computer is good for something in education, that it is the solution to some educational problem. Specifically, [your] question is, what is it good for?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vrrdgcidwpvn4omvn7uuufoo/bafkreih5rdtbh52xqc5yesuryhiwy7nhw7ddrn6vqttxfdlspmthxck6me)
![People come to MIT and to other places, people from all sorts of establishments - the medical establishment, the legal establishment, the education establishment, and in effect they say, "You have there a very wonderful instrument which solves a lot of problems. Surely there must be problems in my establishment - in this case, the educational establishment, for which your wonderful instrument is a solution. Please tell me for what problems your wonderful instrument is a solution.
The questioning should start the other way - it should perhaps start with the question of what education is supposed to accomplish in the first place.Then perhaps [one should] state some priorities - it should accomplish this, it should do that, it should do the other thing. Then one might ask, in terms of what it's supposed to do, what are the priorities? What are the most urgent problems? And once one has identified the urgent problems, then one can perhaps say, "Here is a problem for which the computer seems to be well-suited." I think that's the way it has to begin.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vrrdgcidwpvn4omvn7uuufoo/bafkreibvbqeizckykzfgyot4qdjg6svi6hrdfgi6wgr2hewvjkno4ncw7u)

Eternal Skies TCG RPG@eternalskies.neocities.org · last mo.You want to know why your thing sucks now? There's a 50/50 chance it is secretly a web browser and site for no good reason instead of a real computer program. I don't know why we've turned many things that should not be web dev into web dev, but here we are.
politics aside, it's fucked up that google maps can unilaterally decide that this is just what everyone sees now. users should have agency to label their maps however they want
