Three days until #39c3 and many people are preparing their first visit at Congress. Welcome! I know many of first timers are planning to help, especially when they got a friends ticket. We do not expect anyone to do work at the event when the have a friends ticket.
Being an Angel at a chaos event is fun but please die not make your whole visit about working there - especially when you are a first timer.
I wrote post about volunteering and fitting in https://jascha.wtf/angels-at-chaos-about-volunteering-and-fitting-in/

By this post of @w0bb1t (thx!) I realised that the #39C3 #fahrplan is out 
Come and join my to discuss #fascism #cybernetics #society #tech #sustainability #resistance and #humanrights
Life tastes too good to leave it to #fascists
Can't wait to finish work to browse the Fahrplan :)
Like most talks this will be streamed and later available on www.media.ccc.de and @c3voc often provides #subtitles - and you can help them, if you like!

Not using ChatGPT has made a huge difference to my workflow and efficiency. I'm a power unuser.
@laprice
Indeed, the situation is a symptom of a larger problem.
Remember, when you use #Signal messenger, you are helping to send millions of dollars per year to companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
Here are the details, direct from the president:
Signal >> Blog >> Privacy is Priceless, but Signal is Expensive

The growing concentration of content on the #substack platform is alarming.

Can we have please (centralized, corporate) Internet-B-gone?

Hola #Fediverso.
Comparto más noticias astronómicas.
Este fin de semana vamos a ser testigos de una de las lluvias de meteoros más famosa que se da cada año, las Leónidas. Se llaman así porque se observan en dirección de la constelación de Leo.
En México, los días pico serán del 16 al 17 de noviembre, alrededor de las 18:00 hrs GMT.
Sin embargo, será visible casi todo el mes de noviembre aunque con una menor intensidad.
Esta lluvia de meteoros puede verse como tormenta, es decir, con hasta unos mil eventos por minuto.
Su origen se debe a los restos de un cometa llamado 55P/Tempel-Tuttle que tiene un ciclo de 33 años alrededor del Sol.

@homegrown
I see, thanks for the clarification.
That is a more difficult question.
I would not refrain from recommending an account that truly merits recommendation. But maybe in a toss up between a big server account and a more decentralised account, the bias could lean towards the latter. But i suppose space is not scarce in recommendation lists.
@ikuturso
Yes! THIS point: "Not everyone cares to chase the numbers".
It remains to be seen if a decentralised federated "social" network can accommodate both number chasers and.. um what could one call the others... Maybe put it in terms of quantity vs quality?
Numbers, likes, follows, boosts, re-whatever, i am still not convinced there is much value in it, apart from the value as the addictive behaviour modifiers they were designed to be.
Not even for artists, musicians or others looking for "exposure". I come from a time when we wrote, drew, printed and photocopied flyers and handed them out in bars. I recorded many demos and saw many bands and musicians come and go. I saw many extremely talented writers and players go unnoticed.
It is not better now with "social" media and likes, follows. I believe it is worse. Jaron Lanier, for what it is worth, wrote a lot about this.

@transicorn @keith @homegrown Well, Bluesky stats also show it to be a dying or stagnant network at best (decline in active users for most of this year) and the probability of dying for Bluesky is predicated on its lack of growth unlike Mastodon which has not made a pact with the venture capitalists.
