Apparently being clear _and_ succinct is still a human-only skill.

The fact that Carol Sturka has not yet commissioned Firefly Season 2 is such a plot hole that the show is borderline unwatchable.

I made a quick video about #phanpy (by 
@cheeaunChee Aun 🤔)
I’m sorry it is kinda scattershot, but you can see some cool features like catch-up, which is really unique among masto clients, as well as the various layouts, the boost carousel, and threaded replies.
I don’t mention this in the video, but in Safari on iPhone, if you click share and “Add to Home Screen”, it will create an icon that lets you open phanpy like an app (so no extra extra extraneous browser UI elements).

Conservatively recalculating the poverty line with the cost of participation in society in 2025 at about $140,000 does make more sense than the numbers the government uses.

i mean, on mastodon, you get total randos discovering your posts by camping the instance feeds and they never like it either, but i guess the difference with bsky is that it shovels random posts at you for "discovery"?

I wonder if programming language innovation will drop off post-AI. Like there's not much point learning a new language if you're not programming it directly, and LLMs know less about them.
You'll just reach for the language with the most (non-LLM generated) training data which will always be the older ones.
Somebody posted an old photo in a Facebook local group and asked if anyone could clean it up. Well-meaning people turned to #AI. Lots of responders seemed happy with the results, but this is how you destroy historical records.

"It may not be a trend many of us particularly like, but here in 2025 there’s a sense that the browser has reduced our computers almost to the status of a terminal. It’s thus perhaps the most important piece of software on the device, and in that light I hope you can understand some of the concerns levelled in this series."
I echo this sentiment. #Vivaldi is almost an operating system for me, not a browser.

A hill I will die on: almost all consumer electronics devices with a lithium-blah battery in them would be just fine with NiMH. They would last years in a drawer without turning into a pillow, and could be repaired easily.
There's a few devices where the extra density really makes a difference, but for the rest, I think it's lazy engineering, and a way to "externalize" costs: you get slightly longer on-battery time, and you push the problem of maintenance and environment on the consumer.
I've got a really cool new project slowly cooking~ ✨

I wanted to write this post because I want the Fedora project to have better security throughout their operating systems. I believe the first step to doing that, is to use another memory allocator that mitigates heap memory corruption and use-after-frees, alongside lots of other features to harden one of the most important functions in all modern systems as far as I am aware. hardened_malloc[1], by the GrapheneOS project, fits this description perfectly. Using this benefits not just the Fedora project, but it will also push other distributions to using hardened_malloc, and then the Linux ecosystem will benefit as a whole from the provided security. Good security is an essential part of good privacy, so this will also benefit the privacy of all Linux distributions.
Given the above paragraph, I want you to promote this thread[2] to anyone who is interested in security and privacy. You can also help by testing hardened_malloc on your own Linux systems and sharing your results with me through any means of contact, so that I can replicate the behaviour and make bug reports where necessary. For that, please see this page[3] for my preferred methods of contact.
I don't think I'll be able to attract a lot of people with this post on my own, so boosting will be massively appreciated. Thank you for reading this until this point. This isn't my longest toot yet but I feel like this is my most passionate, as I deeply care about security, GrapheneOS and the Fedora project. Again, thank you! (^_^)
