As a long time C coder I checked this out, because I have my own malloc replacement. The source code is nonsensical garbage.

It's not embodiment that's important so much as situatedness. An agent can be situated without having a physical instantiation. An agent which does not have a place or time is not …

I hope that this will also apply to mobile phones.

The answer is quite likely to be yes. But then when you consider who is the primary typical user of a spreadsheet and ask yourself "are they likely to learn Lisp?" then the answer …

Mediagoblin is also available as an app on Freedombone ( https://freedombone.net )

For software I've written while working at companies I didn't have control over the license choice, but for that which I've written voluntarily nearly all of it (and there's quite …

"If you live here, even if you are the poorest person in the country, you are rich beyond the dreams of half the population of the world" Really? Have you ever been in The Work Pro…

As someone who has always been a UK citizen and is old enough to remember decades past I can say with confidence that this statement is not accurate.

The BBC is very much a state run organization. The people who ultimately decide what happens to the BBC - The BBC Trust - are appointed by "queen in council", which in practice mea…

I think GNU Social should be pretty scalable, and that's because it's not a centralized paradigm with all users in one titanic database. Currently I'm running my own instance (one …

Again that may just be the wrong paradigm. If you are especially concerned about disappearance of a server then just run your own installation. This is partially why I'm making deb…

It's just not a centralized paradigm. Joining an existing server means you'll be subject to whatever moderation policy the admin has. Or you can just run your own server and then f…

Although I dislike capitalism in general I think that message should be changed to something more neutral. Maybe some capitalists might want to have their own GNU Social site where…

I run a system called Freedombone, and maintenance of GNU Social is not really an issue. If I'm not actively working on it there is no maintenance involved.

GNU Social is on the road map for FreedomBox and that's why I've recently been making debian packages for it.

I've recently been making some debian packages for GNU Social, if anyone wants to try them out. https://git.gnu.io/bashrc/gnusocial-debian https://git.gnu.io/bashrc/gnusocial-qvitt…

I hope it's not another recession. We've not even recovered from the last one yet.

I think this is a straw man, because whether the internet is centralised or decentraised doesn't depend on how knowledgeable its users are. We have a decentralised transport system…

It is scary to think about because automated exploits could perhaps be scaled up and cause real mayhem. Hopefully it doesn't have to get that far before some elementary redesign of…

Sadly, accidents are probably going to happen before infotainment gets decoupled from CAN bus. You don't just need a firewall, those need to be on physically separate networks.

Since notifications from Facebook will contain mostly predictable content won't these just become cribs for crackers?
