Is the really open for ?

In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).

Here's a fun story from my time at Mozilla. Remember that time accidentally sent a notification to all our mobile users that just said "monitor"? I was sent to run the retro on that, see what we could learn and prevent a recurrence.

It would have been pretty easy to say "this person screwed up it's their fault" - and sure a human made a mistake - but I am an absolute believer in blameless, in-depth retrospectives as _the_ essential tool of safety, reliability and personal growth. So.

a network thats split up into separate and independent components that can be reused by other parties is just so fucking cool especially now that were at the point these components can be chained together: you can take blacksky's relay, feed it into appviewlite, and connect that to deer

My new favorite pedestrian desire path, which includes a short rail bridge on an active line. I walked past it, thought it was funny, then turned around to take the photo and use it.

Within a minute one other person was going in the same direction, and one person in the opposite. A freight train had come through a few minutes earlier.

Two sections of trail connected by a small rail bridge over a creek. In the eastern part of Niš, Serbia. By me today.

Currently listening to "ZauberwalD.mod" by slash/atd/rpsg from the revision Demoscene party 2025 and had the compulsion on working on/optimizing my Amiga music file (mod, ahx, prt, tfmx fc14... etc) -> UADE -> FLAC -> NAS shell script...

Not really happy with kdialog/dbus interface on FreeBSD, maybe I should look into other script UI dialogs. Anything other than yad or zenity , which could be used instead? Need a yes/no box and a progressbar. Any hint into the right direction more than welcome.

IDE comes with a rich collection of example sketches. A few years ago I have started converting the legacy Processing mode examples to but I never finished it… would you like to help? It could be as easy as trying to run some examples and reporting if they work or not. And if you find a broken one I could help you fix it (or I could fix it myself…)

Beschämend in der Debatte über den Umgang mit der AfD: Kaum wer berücksichtigt in der Argumentation die Gruppen, die von Rechtsextremisten bedroht werden. Man bringt’s fertig, sich in AfD-Wähler und deren Ängste hineinzudenken, und zeigt null Empathie für die, die tatsächlich verfolgt werden.

Actually on that note, all the new relays popping up are super SUPER exciting. Northsky could set up our own for redundancy but seeing relays emerge outside the US greatly obviates that need in the short term. Big ups to @bad-example.com for really pushing the discussion on that lately.
