si c'était à Arago, à Victor Hugo ou autres lycées du centre parisien, ça tournerait en boucle donc donnons de la visibilité à ce scandale il est INACCEPTABLE de violenter ainsi la jeunesse

Perilous bike ride today

The biggest reason given for not adopting ActivityPub in the ATproto paper was that replies could be missing on threads on AP. The ATmosphere now has just a few "full participant" nodes (and it's still a bit unclear how much bsky's infra is leaned on), and seems to already be hitting this challenge

The Mozilla leadership keeps going strong with their twice a year mind blowing decision: this time they felt going back to the nazi bar was the best move. Musk wants to destroy democracy in Europe. I don't see how any EU employee can stay at MoCo. You will not change anything from the inside, folks

With @mozilla.org VPN running on Mullvad infrastructure, can we know what they think about Mullvad's CEO being a fascist? Will they change providers? I'm a satisfied customer currently, but I will not continue if there is no change.

Nice bicycle ride today. Always something to see at the San Gregorio general store!

For people who say "you need to get an AI agent to review all code", when does that stop? Are you doing multiple review rounds (and how many)? How and why do you trust the result? Why are these review capabilities not part of the initial code generation?

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing. I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink. But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.
