I'm looking forward to the #Fediforum "Growing the Open Social Web" workshop on Monday.

I'm extremely dubious about a lot of the submissions. There are a lot of untested hypotheses in this list:

fediforum.org/2026-03-growing-โ€ฆ

I hope that people's expectations are geared towards experimentation, data collection, and iteration, rather than confirming some of these assumptions.



As I mentioned earlier today, after 10 years we'll be closing @weareopencoop on May 1st.

If we'd been shutting down this time *last* year, it definitely would have been for lack of work. But, weirdly, this year it's a confluence of factors.

Desde @articaonline reseรฑan โ€œInteligencia artificial: jugar o romper la barajaโ€, de Marga Padilla

El libro propone una tercera vรญa: hackear la IA desde adentro. Rechaza tanto el hype catastrofista como la negaciรณn del problema. Lo que importa no es la mรกquina aislada sino su ensamblaje con relaciones de poder. Y el error "tรฉcnico" siempre lo pagan quienes menos poder tienen.

I need a little help please!

The RSS feed for my website is passing the online validators, but doesn't seem to be downloading to any reader. Can anyone help, maybe spot something that I am missing?

I update this XML manually, and just added one item last week which seemed to work fine then. I noticed today that the feed was not updating; to test, I changed the most recent post to today's date which is why it is not last week's.

Mastodon question: any idea why my notifications are stuck at 40? I've viewed them, scrolled through them, etc. - have logged out and logged back in - yet the number will not change or disappear.

I don't know why they'd be stuck but can you try clicking "Mark all as read" at the top of the notifications screen?

@Gargron ahhh that did it, thanks - I missed it because I didn't know the double-check-mark icon meant "mark all as read". but now I know ๐Ÿ‘

Synaptic's great. I still use it, but was disappointed to see it's not available for Fedora.

ใ€Œ@tante's decision to block LLM scrapers is consistent with his own logic, but it ended up reinforcing the asymmetry between readers who are fluent in English and those who are not. This is not just an irony. The asymmetry operates across the whole of technology discourse. Whose viewpoint is set as the default? What social relations produced that default?ใ€

in reply to wakest โ‚

Huh? You donโ€™t need an LLM to translate something. We had DeepL and Google Translate a decade before LLM was a concept. And what does it have to do with scraping? You just paste text into it or use a browser plugin.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron currently, both DeepL and Google Translate are 100% LLMs now. Before that they were using other types of Machine Learning architecture (that also used large datasets of translated language to do statistical analysis on)

A symbiotic origin of the ribosome?
