I haven’t seen their governance structure yet, but I don’t think it will ever be like Altman and OpenAI. Eugen just doesn’t have that cult of personality around him, and there’s not that much money in a free and open-source platform that doesn’t lock people in.
I think it’s unlikely that Mastodon (or other federated short form blogging platforms e.g. Pelorama) will integrate live-streaming as it’s pretty far outside of the normal content they are built for. There is a project that does support live streaming and is federated though: Peertube https://joinpeertube.org/
Fuck. This. Conclusion.
Cities in the US have always been able to police sleeping in public spaces GIVEN there was an alternative (e.g. a non-full shelter) where people could go to instead. What changed with the new US supreme court ruling is that they are now allowed to do this regardless of weather or not there is any alternatives.
People need to sleep. It is a biological necessity. Homelessness is often not a choice, but can be temporary if the right resources are available.
How narcissistic do you have to be to think that the person you witnessed wanted to be there? Homelessness is out of control on the west-coast of the US (and elsewhere) but fines and jail time aren’t going to make these people magically stop existing.
Side note: Multiple studies have shown that homelessness is directly correlated to housing affordability. If you want to help fight homelessness, support building more affordable housing (which usually equates to denser housing).
Maybe the time was before the Israeli Government assassinated the person they were negotiating with?
And HTTP/2 can be used to provide video steaming, but that doesn’t mean that nginx will be the next YouTube. This isn’t a question of technical feasibility, but project focus. Though, I must admit, I don’t follow the development of fediverse software all that closely, so maybe it is on the roadmap.
