Monday, September 9, 2024 Could Kamala Harris look into the camera tomorrow night and say "To Fox News viewers, they've been feeding you a load crap. Just thought you should know. And I wouldn't trust the others so much either." # 30th anniversary in a month # Are the Apple announcements like great reunions for people who have been going to these things regularly for 20+ years? If so, I can see the value in it. # I went to a reunion at Berkman, after 20 years , and it was great, made me wonder why we didn't do it every year for the last 20. When you get a group of people together who do great things in a special moment, you should see them from time to time. # But I have a feeling there's a lot of turnover at the Apple events. In any case, I stopped going to them somewhere in the mid-90s, or more accurately they stopped inviting me. Yeah I was disruptive, but only in comparison to how well-behaved the other journos were (a...

Scripting News: Sunday, September 8, 2024

Sunday, September 8, 2024 Peering in the social web # A very practical issue. # BlueSky has a 300 character limit, which is less than the other services I cross-post to, namely: # Mastodon: 500 (using mastodon.social as benchmark) # Threads: 500 # Twitter: 10000 (assume paying the montly fee) # RSS: no specific limit # WordPress: no specific limit # BlueSky: 300 # This will be a problem when we eventually get peering working cross-network among twitter-like systems. # It looks to me, just eyeballing this list, that 500 is a good place to start, although I don't think ultimately there should be any specific limits. # We saw that clearly when RSS 0.91 was the most recent version, there were limits in the Netscape doc, but they were ignored by content sources, which is why I took them out in the 0.92 and 2.0 versions. # Peering is simpler than federation. It would enable people to send messages across t...

Saturday, September 7, 2024 The next in the series of podcasts from 2004 . This one was done driving from Banff to Kelowna, on the way to Seattle. # I found a bug in opml.visitAll in the OPML package I use in various software including Drummer and FeedLand. Had to fix it, even though there's a slight chance of breakage. # Do you think you've ever had an online chat with an AI impersonating a human without you knowing? Have you had such an experience with someone you know? If no, when do you think you will have such a conversation? Would you mind if a friend used an AI to front for them, so they could do other things while they were "chatting" with you? Would you be liable for anything your avatar did or said? # It's a fascinating moment, somewhat like when the Berlin Wall came down. When it happened, we were all in kind of a daze. That wall had been there my entire life. No one knew, for many years, what its disappearance would mean. Same wit...

Scripting News: Friday, September 6, 2024

Friday, September 6, 2024 Journalism doesn't come back from the election of 2024, any more than the Republican Party does. # I got a beautiful new Pixel 9 Pro yesterday. It was amazingly easy to move the data from the old phone to the new one. Just turn both on near each other, and click a couple of dialogs. Haven't used it for anything yet. Will report. # Why journalism doesn't come back # There's a difference betw journalism in 2023 and 2024, it really is changing that quickly. They are a mechanism for delivering some really tragic lies now, without correction, and a lot of people will believe them. Esp the two Trump is pushing now about Roe v Wade and Democratic states killing live babies . This isn't a fumbling Trump, the words were written for him, he's rehearsed it, and they're powerful lies, and journalism is carrying it. When they comment, it's far away from the lie, a CYA move, because they'll let him on agai...

Thursday, September 5, 2024 I got a bit of pushback on what I wrote about The Newsroom yesterday . If you think it was great, you should watch it again. They got everything wrong, imho -- and the storytelling is as simple as Atlas Shrugged . If you loved it in 2012, okay -- but we've all been through hell since then. And we know how the news orgs The Newsroom was trying to model dealt with the challenge. They folded. They gave up. It's all bullshit. It's like watching the story of a great war, that we lost. I don't mean bloggers, I mean all of it. If democracy depends on journalism, then it's gone. It can't come back from what they're doing now. Think of the hair-splitting they did in The Newsroom, even the slightest appearance of impropriety. Now they invite politicians on when they know they're going to tell hugely damaging lies about very important things. They're doing the opposite of what journalism is supposed to do. They sure as...

Wednesday, September 4, 2024 I'm watching the HBO series The Newsroom from 2012, it's an Aaron Sorkin show. It's fairly insipid, but for some reason I keep watching. They have a multi-episode controversy as they go crazy trying to source a rumor they've heard that the US bombed a town in the Middle East with sarin gas, and killed a lot of people. In other words they committed a war crime. Turns out they were set up by multiple people, and they went through all kinds of angst over who should resign and who should be fired, and how they would ever regain the trust of the viewers. It is a Sorkin thing so it is by definition overdone, but in the context of today's NYT and CNN and all the other schlock "news" that reports Trump's ever-more-egrious lies not only without fact checking, but knowing for sure the lies are coming. That this has happened to American "journalism" is worse than a war crime. It's what everyone told us ...
