Rumors that the fediverse can't do mobile identity have been greatly exaggerated: #FEP_1580 is now in draft status - 📃.md This is a proposal for how to migrate all your stuff along with you when you move instances. The gist: Send a request to move along with a set of stuff they'd like to bring with you. Moderators (optionally) can, approve, send back a change request, or deny. If the changes look ok, start the move, if not, hey you avoided incompatible moderation. Should be possible to layer in any kind of bulk actions you might want: "everything except my DMs," "strip attachments," "only my favorite posts," "nothing," etc. keep a public collection of move events signed by both the source and target for durable, portable proof that you are the same person as the old account the new instance crawls your old account and grabs whatever you specified, and then posts a mapping from old URIs to new URIs. other instances can then immediately remap the URIs so e.g. future interactions get sent to the right place, and then gradually update their local versions over time, spacing out traffic. Just using existing ActivityPub mechanisms. There are 6 new terms. Bonus: lays the next steps to migrate to content addressed URIs, decouple accounts from instances, and merge and split accounts. It being a draft means that there is a 60 day (or longer) public comment period, and feedback/edits/etc. Are very much welcome. Issue:

Wow this sucks so bad. a person posted on /r/datahoarder that they have created an archive of the Epstein files with added metadata like mentioned people and etc. But everything is LLM-generated.... Including the "full text" of the documents. Rather than OCRing them, they were fed to chatGPT with a system prompt that told it that it was an expert at OCR.

Nothing dismays me more in academia than my colleagues excusing themselves from the world because they have internalized their job as their identity, and exist in a separate domain from everyone else. every time I knock on doors with my union I get someone, sometimes angrily, wondering what any of this has to do with them - they're here to just do science.

Scientists will be like "results should be replicable!" but then do all their experiments with a random walk of homebrew code that runs on four computers networked with a nest of BNC cables, each with a different version of MATLAB, and after every experiment the data is saved by walking a flash drive around to each of them since they cant be connected to the internet because one of them still runs Windows XP and if the rest so much as heard of a software update the work of 5 grad students whose whole PhD was spent setting up this monstrosity would be ruined forever.
