For those of us who don’t get a new #iPhone 15 w/ action button, please remember that iOS 16+ comes with a "Back Tap” feature which can run a Shortcuts workflow of your choice when you tap the back of the phone with your finger or, uh, whathaveyou.

Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap

Additionally nice: You can specify two different workflows, one for double tapping and one for triple-tapping.

Another way that #automation manages to make my online life more complicated is #translation: When I have to find the original in order to understand the translation. At Limesurvey, "Collapse all" (of a list) translates to German Zusammenbruch (=mental breakdown). On the Spond website, sporting contests are referred to as Streichhölzer (=matches for lighting).

There’s a new standard for data literacy. To truly make sense of all the information we have, we need to expand our data literacy skills beyond spreadsheets to include tools and techniques that deal elegantly with the volumes and complexity of today’s data. Read our new spreadsheet user’s guide to advanced analytics. https://bit.ly/46h4fg1

#spreadsheet #automation #KNIME #dataanalytics

Problem with #automation (Home or otherwise) is that it works 90 % of the time. None of it is 100% dependable and due to the ever changing nature of everything, it can't ever be. So you just double check everything all the time, creating extra cognitive burden. And I say that as someone who uses a lot of it and really like most of it.

Similar issue with AI BTW.

#Marx #Marxism #Capitalism #BigTech #AI #Automation: "The tech industry is structured for groupthink. It needs a perpetual supply of shiny new paradigms to impel new waves of investment. Generative AI seems to be the latest one. Still, there is more substance to generative AI than to cryptocurrency or the metaverse, which were the most recent candidates for the next new thing. Crypto never managed to become anything more than a casino, and the metaverse barely exists. By contrast, generative AI has all sorts of obvious use cases. It also has a “wow factor” that helps get the blood and capital flowing. ChatGPT, Midjourney, and the like may not signal the imminent arrival of an artificial superintelligence—I have my doubts—but they do demonstrate real technical sophistication of the kind that we didn’t see in, say, NFT apes.

As for what this shift means for worker struggles, it is important to note that generative AI is a labor-intensive technology. The data on which AI systems are trained needs to be sorted and labeled by humans. The outputs also need to be evaluated, especially to prevent AI interfaces from engaging in racist outbursts or other undesirable behavior. Most of the people who do this work are poorly paid; some are starting to organize. In May, a group of more than 150 Nairobi-based workers who helped to create ChatGPT and who maintain Facebook and TikTok voted to form a union. This is the sort of struggle that deserves the close and careful attention of journalists and organizers. AI tends to be presented in popular discourse as quite abstract, but at root it’s profoundly industrial, and the working conditions of the people turning its cranks can be downright Dickensian."

I used the photos app "magic eraser" to remove a fleck of something and my wife said: "you used to have to pay someone to do that"

Automation has been reducing effort for centuries and I think it's mostly a good thing

What isn't a good thing is poverty

A rising tide lifts all boats, but ultra wealth only exists amidst poverty, so many of the boats are tethered to the seabed and kept on the brink of sinking

Automation isn't the tether, unconstrained capitalism is

#Luddites #Neoluddite #Automation #BigTech: "The reason that there are so many similarities between today and the time of the Luddites is that little has fundamentally changed about our attitudes toward entrepreneurs and innovation, how our economies are organized, or the means through which technologies are introduced into our lives and societies. A constant tension exists between employers with access to productive technologies, and the workers at their whims. Clearly such tension does not always lead to violent insurrection. But then there are people like George Mellor.

So, how do uprisings against Big Tech and the machine owners begin?

When entrepreneurs and executives deploy new technologies intended to replace skilled work, confound or elude regulations, or degrade traditional jobs en masse—especially in difficult economic circumstances. It’s worse if those workers have no recourse."

In my experience, I couldn't replace TextExpander with Keyboard Maestro. For some reason, the text expansion wasn't robust enough in KM--there were apps and situations where it didn't work.

So I'm using both, along with Raycast and Spacelauncher.

I wish I had an all-in-one, but this combo does what I need.

Trying to migrate away from IFTTT. I was looking at Zapier at first, but they want ~$20 per month. That's not worth it for me.

While looking for alternatives, I stumbled upon https://n8n.io. It had a self-hosting option, so I put it in a Docker container and started testing.

It has been great so far and I just migrated my few automation workflows from IFTTT to my new n8n instance.

If you're going to read just one thing about #Tech today, let it be this.

Great piece by @Mer__edith on the historical context that underpins #automation, with a focus on Charles Babbage.

I'd long suspected that today's overemphasis on *quantitative* metrics was for maintaining control at a distance.

This piece shows how the overemphasis of the surveilled & quantifiable (and neglect of everything else) is a relic of colonial labor needs, but a relic we still revere.

I wrote to IFTTT asking when they would support Mastodon. I expected the standard, canned, “We’ll consider it.” Instead:

“We are actually planning to release a Mastodon service on IFTTT very soon, within a week or two!”

Can’t wait. First applet I’ll make is Flickr → Mastodon.

Ever wonder who you should follow on Mastodon? I just published updated lists of accounts I follow, covering InfoSec, STEM, NatSec, politics, and more. You can import and export lists using my mastodon-listmanager utility.

I just pushed a feature and bugfix release of my mastodon-listmanager tool that allow you to export and import lists of Mastodon accounts to follow. https://github.com/seanthegeek/mastodon-listmanager/commit/bed0f5edab8a17bbbb75e28413dd50baf98e9d61

Please don't forget, when you're dealing with AI startups, that when they make ludicrous claims about privacy ... they might just be flat-out lying to you.

The main HARPA website has this text:

PRIVACY BY DESIGN: HARPA runs locally in browser and does not send your data away.

Except we know this can't be true, because it's a ChatGPT service. Their actual privacy policy is a mess --but still fails to mention that you're also subject to OpenAI's terms!

You're ready to launch your site, and now you have to:

🌏 Configure a webserver and DNS.
🙈 Ensure you're not logging visitor IPs.
🧅 Create an onion site.
🔒 Set up renewing HTTPS certificates for your new domains.
🧠 Maybe even include new censorship-resistant techniques.

It ends up being a lot of tedious, repetitive work. That's why we made this handy script to automate the process.

Check it out, let us know what you think!
