Loops was originally a Pixelfed feature that was launched back in 2019, and it was inspired by Vine.

In 2020 it was removed, and remained in the back of my mind until 2023, when I started considering building a separate service.

Fast forward to 2025, we launched Pixelfed to the App and Play Stores and shipped quite a few new features, but the later part of 2025 I spent on Loops.

Now it's fully open source, server and mobile apps, and federates!

But that doesn't mean Pixelfed is dead 😉

Slop drives me crazy and it feels like 95+% of bug reports, but man, AI code analysis is getting really good. There are users out there reporting bugs that don't know ANYTHING about our stack, but are great AI drivers and producing some high quality issue reports.

This person (linked below) was experiencing Ghostty crashes and took it upon themselves to use AI to write a python script that can decode our crash files, match them up with our dsym files, and analyze the codebase for attempting to find the root cause, and extracted that into an Agent Skill.

They then came into Discord, warned us they don't know Zig at all, don't know macOS dev at all, don't know terminals at all, and that they used AI, but that they thought critically about the issues and believed they were real and asked if we'd accept them. I took a look at one, was impressed, and said send them all.

This fixed 4 real crashing cases that I was able to manually verify and write a fix for from someone who -- on paper -- had no fucking clue what they were talking about. And yet, they drove an AI with expert skill.

I want to call out that in addition to driving AI with expert skill, they navigated the terrain with expert skill as well. They didn't just toss slop up on our repo. They came to Discord as a human, reached out as a human, and talked to other humans about what they've done. They were careful and thoughtful about the process.

People like this give me hope for what is possible. But it really, really depends on high quality people like this. Most today -- to continue the analogy -- are unfortunately driving like a teenager who has only driven toy go-karts.

趕在 2025 的最後一天,看

很好看的故事,沒有因為背負著什麼而犧牲小人物的視角與個性。感情甚篤的兄妹,妹妹為了領取被槍斃兄長的屍首,從嘉義到台北。

「我們什麼都沒有,只能勇敢。」

未成年的女孩一頭闖入戰後的台北,牽扯出一片時代的人物風景—貧困裡,小詐小惡、綁騙誘拐,為了生存的各色語言和個性;那些憐憫和善良因為不教條不僵固,更顯可貴;而在特權和權勢裡,往往藏有更深的陰暗和迂腐,也才是時代裡真正悲劇之所在。

我們都是小女孩,在歷史茫茫的迷霧中,不知前方;阿月即便也窮,但哥哥教她的正直,深深烙印在年輕的善良裡。

她不太會表達,但別人對她的好與壞,她用行動、用心去回應。

哥哥阿雲所說的故事,水雲雨霧的循環,是人生的選擇;而終究無法抉擇的,是在歷史中要成為怎樣的風景?小人物鑲嵌在時代裡,只能有傻氣的理想主義,或成為一片風景的釋然(莫可奈何?)⋯。

喜歡導演的運鏡和配樂,近距離的特寫或微觀,很舞台劇也很溫柔;音樂與音效完全是成就故事的指引,不可或缺。⋯

🎉 We are less than $2k away from hitting our 2026 fundraising goal.

This supports three Django Fellows, our DSF Assistant, dozens of community events like Django Girls, DjangoCons, Django Days, and Django Meds, and the day-to-day work that keeps everything running at the Django Software Foundation.

If you have been waiting to donate, today is a great time.

Employer donation matching also works, including through Benevity.

Are you a security researcher or journalist? We want to hear from you — please take this survey!

Dissent Doe at DataBreaches, and I, are running this survey to better understand the state of legal demands and criminal threats in cybersecurity. Help us by filling out this survey! (and please share!)

forms.gle/yAiNNq2gTqE6ctWU8

Survey about legal and criminal threats experienced by journalists and security researchers

Researchers who try to responsibly disclose leaks, vulnerabilities, and other security breaches or mishaps may face legal threats or lawsuits. Similarly, journalists may find themselves threatened with lawsuits or other legal consequences if they report on leaks or breaches. Both researchers and journalists also face threats by criminals ("threat actors") if they report on them in ways the threat actors find unflattering or harmful. In our many years of reporting on leaks, breaches, and criminal gangs, DataBreaches.net and Zack Whittaker have often exchanged "war stories" about what threats we have received or had to contend with. After one particularly tiring week, we wanted to conduct a survey of researchers and journalists to ask about their experience with threats. We are using a broad definition of "researcher" to include self-defining or volunteer researchers (and not just academic or vendor-based researchers), as well as a broad definition of "journalist," to include bloggers and anyone who regularly reports on news and research, including commentary sites. Here are our questions, and we hope you will respond. Responses can be anonymous, but it will be helpful if you provide a real name or moniker and contact information, so we can follow up if we have questions. (Responses are encrypted in transmission and at-rest in line with Google's privacy policies. We plan to close this survey by end of day January 18, 2026.) Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. (To report a survey bug, please reach out.)
