If you run your own Fediverse server and you're choosing a username, keep in mind that your username will usually be seen in isolation from your server name, due to the way Mastodon etc display mentions in posts.

For example, if you choose the username "@ me @ myserver.example" most people are only going to see "@ me". Very generic names like this can be difficult for people to remember.

It's better to choose a Fediverse username that is distinctive even when seen on its own.

The Quechua are an Indigenous people of the Andes, primarily in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and Argentina, and descendants of the Inca civilization. Their language, also called Quechua, was the Inca Empire’s official language and remains widely spoken across the Andes. Quechua communities traditionally live in rural areas, practicing agriculture with terraced farming techniques suited to mountainous terrain, cultivating crops like potatoes, maize, and quinoa, and raising llamas and alpacas for wool and transportation. Community cooperation, known as ayni, is a core value, reflecting their emphasis on mutual aid. Spirituality is deeply tied to nature, honoring mountains (apus) and other natural elements. The Quechua are known for their vibrant, symbolic textiles, with patterns representing cultural stories and using natural dyes. Though they face economic and cultural challenges, the Quechua remain resilient, preserving language, traditions, and values that continue to shape Andean culture and identity.

I would assume that Apple Intelligence will make talking to Siri more effective, but I don’t use it much. My wife does. She talks to it like a person, not like she’s dictating search criteria. It’s made for her.

I also like the promise of proofreading. I have ZERO interest in generative AI. I don’t want them telling me how to say it. But I don’t mind proofreading for obvious mistakes. Maybe I can get rid of Grammerly.

I have no use for the rest. #AppleIntelligence #AI

Hi Fediverse denizens. I've been working on a project I hope will help Fediverse devs make software that federates across ALL services, not just Mastodon-plus-a-few-others.

It's called the Fediverse Schema Observatory and before launching it, I am opening up a public comment period re: safety and privacy.

This post lays out what the software does, what data it records, and why I think it's safe to deploy:
