More than 80% of Americans live in counties where they can expect at least one #COVID-19 infected student to show up in the first week of school. This according to a study by Univ of #TX at Austin.

https://adecentralizedworld.com/2020/06/a-trust-and-moderation-system-for-the-decentralized-web/ is someone else’s take on many of the same issues. I note that this article does not discuss “fake news” or other “this post does not accurately represent our accepted version of truth” situations, which is #Eunomia’s focus. -

Toe report: the big toe and its neighbor are no longer sore. The small toe and its neighbor are still partially numb.
After whacking my foot pretty hard in #PR, it took about a year for foot and toes to return to normal, so I just need to be more careful about where I step. -

I got lots of birthday notices in my inbox from JD. I consider it an example of "All information that you collect, you will eventually store. All information that you store will eventually be misused." Why? At the time I and most of my contacts joined, #Diaspora was _the privacy-centric network_. Birthdays were not going to be used to trigger alerts and e-mails to tell everyone about them. But here we are. -

Not so many people today. Good. But they were here earlier and left a mess. -

Today is a little cooler than yesterday. Not unpleasant indoors. Outdoor temperature today is about the same as yesterday's indoor temperature, so hot, but not like the sun stands there with a sword, ready to slay you. -

Someone ( @dielan@shitposter.club ) was talking about making their first mortgage payment today. Someone was trying to convince them to make only the minimum monthly payment and invest the rest of their money into stocks and gold. . I disagree. I think paying down the mortgage early has a better ROI for comparable risk levels. Besides, it doesn't have to be either/or. They ca… -

3--One of the things that is worst about Facebook and Twitter is that their algorithms decide what you see, not just your contacts / subscriptions list. Accepting a contact request or following someone is your affirmative choice to have that person's content in your feed, but they actively interfere with that. Sometimes for "engagement" raising (putting posts with extreme polit… -

A cursory first read shows glossing over two big issues (probably more, but these two stood out): . 1--Algorithmic manipulation ... despite claims of good intentions, any time we defer timeline content selection to software, we're really saying that we trust the software's creators and operators to decide what we see or don't see. On many issues, there is no unified and settl… -
