Uh ho. I was catching up with my mentions during a long train ride and I just found a series of truly abusive replies with threats, horrible, violent language, swastikas (!!!) all coming from the same instance. One even included a violent video showing a woman being harmed.
I took screenshots before blocking.
How does #FediBlock work? And how do you block entire instances when you are on mobile? (Traveling for the next few days).
The instance these messages came from is truly truly bad, I feel like they should be called out and blocked en masse 😰
Update: it’s more than one instance. I’ve found additional abusive messages with violent and racist, misogynistic rhetoric, from 5-6 different instances. It’s like I have 4Chan in my mentions. Screenshot + block 🔁
Update no.2: thank you for your suggestions! See, I’m the admin of this instance, so I can just copy and paste the names of the abusive instances in my GoToSocial dashboard and easily block them on the spot. Still, I’ll make sure to mention these abusive instances to FediBlock. It’s the first time I’m the target of abuse and these messages were really awful. Now if you could send me photos of your cute pets, you’d do me a favor.
Update no.3: success! Even if I’m on a train traveling across countries and on my iPad, I was able to log onto my GoToSocial admin dashboard… and start blocking entire domains. Self-hosting is truly the most empowering thing 🥲

They mentioned in the WWDC that the new LLM Framework can support semantic search. So what is now the best approach to locally search through a SQLite database?
AFAIK SwiftData is not supporting Vector embeddings and compiling a SQLite version with extensions is not so straightforward.

Big update: The Internet Archive has launched a new version of GifCities, the search engine for vintage GeoCities GIFs. It's now easier to explore the glitter, chaos, and charm of early web animation.
Search better. Share better. Blink more.

#deltachat is secure against server-side group membership changes but for a very different reason than #signal which keeps encrypted group membership data in a central store.
Delta Chat has _no_ central store but implements a rigidly tested #p2p group membership model where servers play no role https://github.com/chatmail/models/tree/main/group-membership
Both signal and delta chat are safe against recently published attacks against #whatsapp that can add members to chats, breaking end to end encryption. https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/05/whatsapp-provides-no-cryptographic-management-for-group-messages
Because free online spaces haven’t served us. They’ve exploited us.
The lie of “free” has cost us connection, safety, truth, and trust.
Platforms built on ad dollars and surveillance have made it effortless for trolls, bad actors, and harmful agendas to thrive — because there’s no real cost to causing harm.

I just deleted the last news app off my tablet. I think that at peak, I had about 7, including RTÉ, BBC, Irish Times, TheJournal.ie, The Guardian.
In every case, the app
1/ added no useful functions over a web browser
2/ omitted some key browser functions, e.g. zoom, select©, open in new tab
3/ generated annoying notifications
I was surprised. These apps are expensively built and heavily promoted. Yet in my experience they are crap.
Have I missed something? Does anyone use news apps?
@2legged no. Apps are a cancer. https://blog.codinghorror.com/app-pocalypse-now

I’m getting pretty sick of being nagged to install your damn apps. XKCD helpfully translates: Yeah, there are smart app banners, which are marginally less annoying, but it’s amazing how quickly we went from “Cool! Phone apps that finally don’t suck!” to this sad, eye rolling, oh-great-of-course-you-have-an-app-too

Your #AI "is an incredibly sophisticated form of pattern matching, so advanced that it can mimic the output of human reasoning for a narrow band of problems. But when tested in a controlled way, its fragility is exposed. It lacks the robust, generalizable, and symbolic logic that underpins true intelligence.
We’re seeing the limits of very expensive #autocomplete that breaks when it matters most."

fuzzel to rofi-wayland on my #FreeBSD setup as it shows all the icons whereas the current fuzzel had stopped showing the firefox icon and some others. Plus it means that I can play with the rofi script mode rather than using the dmenu option. Just to try and keep my mind active you know. I also pushed my WIP changes to my git repo though if anyone is interested. 😜
