shower thought: "España" has an ñ, "Česko" has a č... it would have been fun if Germany in German was "Deutßchland", Poland in Polish was "Połska" and Portugal in Portuguese was "Portugãl"

@Sassinake@mastodon.social @cmconseils@mastodon.social as far as I can tell, it's not. I found it on a Facebook post from 2019 post saying it's a 2004 illustration by Vorlet.. It is similar but different from the 2006 painting of the same theme. 2004 illustration https://www.facebook.com/earth4point2/posts/catastropolisimage-christophe-vorlet-urban-development-2004/2764187423651499/ 2006 painting http://www.lydmarchive.com/artists/Vorlet/home_2.html

By that logic, NSYNC should be Nash, Stills, Young, Nash and Crosby.

@gutocarvalho@bolha.us Pois é. Só porque uma versão software livre de um software existe, não quer dizer que o software em si seja uma boa ideia.

Eu tenho minhas dúvidas sobre o próprio design do Mastodon. Usar o Twitter de 2010s como base, ok, mas o Twitter dessa época já era uma rede voltada ao doomscrolling.

also 2025: here's a great idea: nobody needs to learn how to program for real because we now have these great AI systems! why waste years in computer science degrees?

2045: oh no...

Replying to @cscw@hci.social

@cscw @carla @garreth That's a really cool study! Hopefully, the next generation of text-to-speech could instead take the emoji into account to synthesize tone of voice (think of an actor being asked to read aloud "That's great! 😂 " vs. "That's great! 😂😂😂 " vs. "That's great! 🙄 ", without spelling out the emoji, of course). Translating "it is ☀️ today" into grammatically correct text also sounds like something that would be a good fit for machine learning.

@mozilla@mozilla.social "Ever since we shutdown mozilla.social and disengaged from Mastodon, the sentiment analysis on our social media posts regarding our AI initiatives shows positive reactions went up a staggering 857%! I guess everyone on X seems to like them! A great win for our sharehol—I mean, our sponsors!"

Replying to @samir@mastodon.functional.computer

@samir@mastodon.functional.computer the number skews way downwards once one realizes that the vast majority of programmers are not only not in Silicon Valley, but really not in tech companies. So many programmers all around the world working in local systems to help drive local businesses of all sizes and local governments. The "tech industry" that is overrepresented in English-speaking social media is only a part of what programming as a global activity really is, even if they hold great power over that whole.
