Team Human by Douglas Rushkoff | Open Library
Team human by Douglas Rushkoff, 2019, W.W. Norton edition, Hardcover in English - First Edition
⭐⭐

Honestly I skimmed the last half of the book. This is written as an anti-tech manifesto with surface level arguments and little no footnotes to research backing any point the author is trying to make. Apparently the book is based on a podcast (had I but known) so maybe go listen to that instead of trying to get through this.

I was having some difficulty with posts here showing up on the Fediverse. I finally tracked down the problem. I used https://browser.pub/ to check my username and see what’s up. There I was seeing a webfinger error that the endpoint was undefined. After much searching I found this: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alternatives-if-you-cant-edit-well-known/ and as I am indeed using Dreamhost going in and adding a .htaccess file to my .well-known directory and editing it as suggested on that page worked like a charm. I’m back! #fediverse #activitypub

You can transfer your Mastodon account to a different server if you would like. The process allows you to keep your follows, followers, bookmarks, lists, mutes, blocks and domain blocks. Your old posts will remain on the old server, but they will redirect people to your new account. There's a complete step-by-step beginner's guide for how to transfer your account at: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/ It might seem a bit long, but it combines several processes into one guide. #FediTips #Mastodon

This is important to know for Mastodon users. #mastodon #fediverse

I had the privilege to write out some thoughts on generative AI and what it means for the creative community for The Bezark Company. The article is published here:

Since November of 2023 I’ve attempted to use my WordPress based site as my window to the Fediverse. I’m using a combo of these plugins: Friends, Enable Mastodon Apps, and ActivityPub.  While this more or less works as it should there are still some rough spots to iron out and it’s far from ideal. Granted, most of my interaction is via Mastodon and that is but a portion of the Fediverse but there are various things I cannot do even if accessing my site via Mastodon apps. Sharing links externally is cumbersome, I would need to leave the app I was using and go to my Friends page on the web, find the link, click it, then share it. I cannot follow hashtags (yet). Following new accounts needs to be done via the web interface and doesn’t work within apps. I have no intention of decoupling my site from the Fediverse but I will return to my Mastodon instance (follow me! @vaughnhannon@m.socialyeti.club ) for regular posting and consuming of all the goodness. #mastodon #wordpress #activitypub #fediverse
