If we want to learn more about how #Apple thinks about their #VisualPro product, and determine the experiences we will have available upon launch, watching their Developer conference videos targeted towards #SpacialComputing are a great viewport into the new #platform.
Excited for #platformcon2023 this week. I will be talking about the @puppet State of DevOps Report 2023 #platformengineering edition. Register to attend virtually at https://platformcon.com/ and join the slack chat at https://platformengineering.org/
"Empowered #product teams are handed problems to solve and not solutions to implement."
Next up in my year of #PlatformEngineering @redhat’s @ckavili and Anna Ciula talking about how they've help teams over the last two years adopt a #Platform as a Product mindset. Now you can too!

In the book „Team Topologies“ the occurrence of naming the #container #platform #kubernetes in this context:
„These platforms [e.g. k8s] have generally succeeded in reducing the complexity of the underlying systems while exposing enough functionality to be useful to teams building the platform.“
🤔Really? It depends.
I think nearly every abstraction targeted to engineers to simplify #k8s complexity is helpful.
There were even people that built an abstraction for Docker Swarm and Nomad. 😃
users can only #reply to posts of users they have been following for at least 12 hours.
each user account has a limited optional profile area where they could choose to populate a small number of fields that are shown to all users, but more importantly each user account is verified/linked to a specific known (singular) irl human being. the platform itself only displays posts, without any associated public profile information.
replies available are #like, #dislike, #repost, plus a ridiculously low character limit of maybe, 10 characters and six emojis, all versions of a facial expression, think old school:
:) :( :| :P ;) :O
working title off the top of my head is something like 10and6.com referring to the reply restrictions.
Seems there's also a „#GitHub Copilot“ besides that „#Microsoft365 Copilot“, and a „#Windows Copilot“ and a dozen more from MS alone. Obviously it's a #platform with APIs and plugins for #ISVs to exploit the entire #Copilot stack. https://www.forbes.com/sites/janakirammsv/2023/05/26/inside-microsoft-copilot-a-look-at-the-technology-stack/ compares that stack with an operating system. Looks like there's something happening there, and that I've really got a lot to learn. I wasn’t aware that there might really be some significance in some of the current #AI stuff that's in the news.

They do not measure trust earned from other people, but trust earned from those who run the platform by staying more and more engaged with that platform.

“A task-management app, for instance, might see its relevance decline as #ChatGPT remembers more about users and potentially learns to prompt them about upcoming deadlines. Financial apps could fall away as A.I. learns to ingest and interpret data.”

I want to be a socially-responsible person. I want to listen to the people who are saying that I shouldn't be writing on #Substack because it supports people who support the eradication of #transgender people, but I also do believe that abhorrent views shouldn't deserve no #platform. That's not a good way to run a society, because plenty of people think that liberal views are fucking abhorrent, and when they are in power, we'll be the ones silenced.
This is awful. What legal routes exist in Bz to do anything? Will there be collateral gain from EU DSA enforcement?

"A platform might be the best way to reduce the cognitive burden on developers and allow them to get more done, but at best it is a means to an end. But we need to encourage people in charge of this function to be able to think more broadly ." Sam Newman

The reason for Biden not to run isn't that he doesn't have his faculties. It isn't that he isn't doing popular things. It isn't that he has poor skills. It's a more subtle set of things.
First, and most important, he is at an age where he can't guarantee (even probabilistically) 5 more years of life. In an ordinary job, we don't fuss about that because they are not so important. But shifts if the balance of world power demand more than that. Look at what happened when RGB, who was healthy in most ways and quite a fighter, died at an inconvenient time. All the good things she did until the bitter end do not offset the nightmare of having her die at a time when we were in least control.
If Biden died, for example, very shortly before the election, there would be a constitutional crisis. Some would claim he had to simply be scratched from the ballot and that it needed to say only the GOP candidate and no one else. Others would push for the VP to step up and pick another VP, but the battle for VP is not the same as the battle for President. A VP is who the candidate trusts, not always who the public trusts. It would be a mess.
And if Biden died in office, the chain of succession would be a single person thin. The VP would become President, but if that VP were unavailable for surgery, or due to an accident, or due to a rogue action, the Speaker of the House (that's McCarthy now, in case people are not seeing this) would become President just like that and without any intervening question because our founders thought that it was a good idea to have that chain be party-blind. THAT is too horrible a fate.
And even beyond that, changing times need changing circumstances. That Biden has navigated well does not say he will continue to, in part because he is a centrist, and Climate weighs ever more heavily. Some progressives may jump ship and that will sabotage the future if they split the party . We need, if not an AOC, at least someone who is left of Biden on Climate and who will represent the youth of America, who increasingly see we are not adequately tending to a world they will have to live.
Finally, the Republicans are used to arguing about Biden. They are ready with their Hunter stories. There will be balloon stories, and stories of mislaid documents. They need someone they do not have such a well-worked narrative about, someone who will put them off balance having to have actual discussions on actual issues.
So the Dems must grow up and be a party not of saviors but of ideals. They must make their morality plain. They must get better at explaining who they are rather than ceding the narrative to the other side. Because another 4 years of Biden will not do that. It will assume all of those things go without saying and make us even more vulnerable at the end of that time than we already are.

Elon Musk said Twitter would take legal action against an employee who he said was the source of a Platformer report that said Musk's tweets had been artificially boosted.
Platformer reported Wednesday, citing engineers, that Musk asked 80 Twitter engineers to find ways to promote his tweets after President Joe Biden's tweet about the Super Bowl received more engagement than his own.
A Twitter user asked Musk on Friday whether the Platformer report was false.
Musk replied: "The 'source' of the bogus Platformer article is a disgruntled employee who had been on paid time off for months, had already accepted a job at Google and felt the need to poison the well on the way out. Twitter will be taking legal action against him."

What is a '#Platform' anyway?
A platform is a foundation of self-service APIs, tools, services, knowledge and support which are arranged as an internal product. Autonomous delivery teams can make use of it to deliver product features at a higher pace, with reduced co-ordination.
@ericholscher @thagomizer Great post (as I work w/co-authors on an academic piece on digital #ethics & #empathy). So true that “We don’t do that here” is empty words if the #standards aren’t modeled by the host (#platform event organizer, etc.)—1 reason y so many SM users don’t take #community standards seriously? It’d be hard for large platforms, maybe, but how amazing if they required all employees, vendors, etc. to “do what we do not what we say” offline AND online!
Creating #ebooks is just #difficult apparently. Each ebook #platform has their own little things they don't like when it comes to #formatting Good grief man. Apple Books was by far the worst.

@jaredwhite @jamescridland Stuff like this is why so many of us so adamantly and incessantly bleat #ProtocolsNotPlatforms but it all seems in vain. Certainly #media are a source of headwinds for this informational campaign. Obviously this is because media are, by their very nature, monetized. I don't think monetized activity is possible on a (open) protocol, and it seems non-monetized activity is nearly impossible on a #platform (or even a platform-dominated #web).
@siv @shojiwax agree. Though I use #Tusky which doesn't appear to have a payment process but I'm open to being directed to such a thing.
I do pay my instance however, but once again it's more of a donation than a cast in stone #requirement.
So many folks are using #Mastodon now and it seems to me that the ppl doing the work should be #reimbursed for their costs #technically (hardware, services etc), as well as for the work they must either put in themselves or get #volunteers to do for them, which isn't always 💯% effective as evidenced by some instances where a user gets their arse kicked for a #spelling error seen by one #moderator as death for the user and by another on the same instance as ho hum not worth a thought.
I only #donate $8 per #month which in real terms is nothing, but in terms of the value we derive from the #platform as users can be life changing for an #instance manager, if enough ppl say I really want this to continue, so I will donate the equiv of a cup of #coffee for example and do so #monthly.

I can't justify adding further value to a platform that arbitrarily bans and censors users, creates a fundamentally unsafe environment, and is being overrun by extremists.
It hurts. It means giving up a platform for #LGBTI and #Disability activism. Please help me find a new #Community here. 😭

Excellent text by Melissa Heikkilä on how the #Lensa #AI reproduces sexualized stereotypes—in a particularly gross way.
As AI's are taught with existing material, hegemonic power relations get built into them.
In the #PlatformEconomy unequal power and #labor relations are often depoliticized by making them "features" of the algorithm. This was evident when I worked as a courier for a #platform company.
When thinking about AIs etc., we need to think about politics.
