@rickwayne Reminders for attendance? I haven't heard of those, but I've been to churches that have you tithe via an app.

It's interesting how conversations play out in public on the Fediverse (and social media in general). Most conversations in real life happen in closed, non-recorded settings. But on social media, you always have an audience, and what you say is recorded by default. It tends to make you interact with others in a different way when you think about it. If you're being watched, you'll act differently. It reminds me of "Social Cooling": https://www.socialcooling.com/#thoughts #Fediverse

@alexbuzzbee This makes me think of The Zero Signal by Rick Wayne. That book has lots of stuff like that. https://rickwayne.com

Here are a few things related to making technology more humane, cooperative, and free. Humane Tech: https://humanetech.community (@humanetech)Cooperative Technology: https://cooperativetechnology.codeberg.page (by a few from Mastodon)Small Tech: https://small-tech.org/ (by @aral) Ethical Design: https://ind.ie/ethical-design/Feel free to share others you know.I know many people aren't aware of some of these, and it helps us to see what others are doing so we can learn and work together on solutions.#SmallTech #CooperativeTechnology #EthicalDesign #HumaneTech

@PetabyteStudios I agree that many teachers might misunderstand Wikipedia, but still it shouldn't be used as a source. Wikipedia should be reliable (that's one of its primary goals), but only because it's based on reliable secondary sources. Those sources should probably be cited instead.Wikipedia says this themselves.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academic_usehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source

@alexbuzzbee As someone who enjoys genetics simulation and attempted to make something like this, I'd love such a game.

The screeching voice of the minority actually made a difference. This makes me happy, though it isn't over yet. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/03/apple-delays-plans-to-scan-cloud-uploads-for-child-sexual-abuse-images#iScreech

Hello, world! Or, more specifically, the #TheresLife community.I hope you all are doing well and are having incredibly enjoyable days. The announcement: I'm going to be stepping down as administrator of There's Life. I will be increasingly busy with work, school, and family in the following months and I was wisely advised to pass my role to someone else.I'm not going to write some farewell address, since I'm not leaving just yet. Instead, I am currently looking for another capable administrator who would be interested in taking my place.This would involve:Administrating the server (updates, general sysadmin stuff)Administrating the website (managing federation, descriptions, helping people with their accounts, etc.)Guiding the direction of There's LifeAlong with any other miscellaneous tasks these require. There are many people who can manage a server, but fewer are likely to be willing to handle all of these. All other projects related to There's Life, including the Plume instance, Funkwhale instance, and all future plans, will be continued or ended according to the discretion of the new administrator. Yes, I'm looking for another "BDFL". Unless the community is coordinated enough to manage everything by itself, this is the primary option available.The whole transition will take place over a certain amount of time and will involve lots of communication (text messaging, video calls) to ensure that the new administrator will be faithful and trustworthy.Primary qualifications:Has some experience with system administration (it need not be professional)Is a follower of Jesus (this is a Christian community)If you'd like to discuss this and possibly consider taking this position, please come chat over Matrix. My ID is @mott:matrix.orgFeel free to ask any questions you may have about this.More information about this will be posted in the coming weeks and keep the process transparent to the community.

Other notes:I won't leave my position until I am certain everything is running smoothly. My departure is not imminent. It will be a month or two at soonest.Additionally, I'm looking for people who are willing to administrate There's Life (manage the servers, finances, etc.) for the foreseeable future. This is a one-way transfer, and I'd like the new administrator to commit to administrating the server for at least a year.

We live at the mercy of every institution we interact with, and it's disgustingly undignified.https://yujiri.xyz/commentary/at-their-mercy(by @Yujiri)
