Are you following the speakers of the track? Am I missing someone? When are Packs going to be released? Is there life in the universe besides Earth?

You can also follow most (only the discoverable accounts) in one step, using packs here: fedidevs.com/s/ODE0/

Cross-posting is coming to NodeBB!

julian @julian@community.nodebb.org

<p><strong>tl;dr</strong> — cross-posting is coming to NodeBB in v4.9.0. It will be internal-only for now, as we work through social issues with federated cross-posting. Existing category sync and auto-categorization logic in NodeBB now utilises cross-posts instead of moving or ignoring categorized topics, respectively.</p> <h3>Some history</h3> <p>For the past couple months, I've been mulling over the idea of cross-posting, and how this would work in a federated forum context.</p>

'중산층'의 기준도 한국은 다른 나라에 비해서 물질적인 것에만 집중되어 있는 것도 그렇고, 23개 국가 24000명 이상의 성인을 대상으로 입소스에서 설문조사를 했는데, "한 사람의 성공을 나타내는 최고의 지표가 돈인가?"라는 질문에서 전체의 57%가 아니라고 답한 반면에, 중국 한국 한정으로는 70%가 예라고 답한 결과도 있다고 합니다. 가치 추구보다는 물질적인 것에 목맴 + 삶이 팍팍해지니까... '돈이 안 되는 것'을 경시하는 풍조가 심해지면서 도덕심 교양 함양 등도 등한시 된 것이 크지 않나 싶네요.

My last salaried job was at a company that built blockchain technology. No, it wasn't for cryptocurrency. The goal was to use blockchain to create a fully peer-to-peer, decentralized game. I found it a technically interesting goal. I've always been fascinated by decentralized technologies, which is also why I'm drawn to ActivityPub. Another thing that attracted me was the promise that this technology would be implemented as 100% open source. I had always wanted to work on open source full-time, so I accepted the offer.

However, once I started working there, I found myself increasingly disappointed. The organization gradually filled up with so-called “crypto bros,” and the culture shifted toward prioritizing token price over technical achievement. I and a few close colleagues believed that introducing partial centralization to the fully decentralized system—whether to defend the token price or to rush a release—was not a “minor compromise” but a “major corruption.” The rest of the organization didn't see it that way.

One of the most painful things about being in that organization was the fact that the technology I was creating was not only unhelpful to society, but was actually harming the environment and society. At the time, I felt like I was working for a tobacco company—knowing that cigarettes harm people's health, yet turning a blind eye and doing the job anyway.

I'm no fan of cryptocurrency, but I still think blockchain has technically interesting aspects. However, blockchain has already become socially inseparable from cryptocurrency, and even if blockchain is technically interesting, there are very few domains where it's actually useful. Furthermore, the negative environmental impact of blockchain technology is a problem that must be solved for it to be taken seriously. In its current state, when I weigh the harm against the utility, I believe the harm overwhelmingly outweighs it.

Anyway, I have now completely said goodbye to blockchain technology. I feel at ease now that I don't have to live with that guilt anymore. I also came to realize that engineers must consider not only the technical interest of a technology but also its social impact. So for now, I want to focus on ActivityPub. I find it both technically interesting and socially meaningful!

Microsoft Office has been replaced by "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" 🙄 (not a joke, see office.com)

Fortunately there are many good alternatives on the Fediverse:

➡️ @libreoffice - Free open source office suite, can be used entirely offline
➡️ @CollaboraOffice - Online fork of LibreOffice, upstream contributor
➡️ @nextcloudNextcloud 📱☁️💻 - FOSS personal cloud including collaborative office tools
➡️ @CryptPad - FOSS online office suite with maximum privacy

I really love most things about my Boox Palma — except that it’s too fragile. I’ve just broken the screen a second time in as many years, and not from anything rough, just normal riding around in my shoulder bag. Before I pay to fix it again (and buy some sort of super well-paddded case) — are there other e-readers with a similar form-factor I should look at instead? Being able to run Android apps is a big plus but not a hard requirement.

아.. 이런 거였구나 환승 이별 당한다는 게.
어쩐지 인상이 너무 확 바뀌어서 아예 딴 사람이 됐다 싶었는데.

일단 나는 당해 본 적이 없어서 어떤 느낌인지 감이 안 오네..
심지어 환승연애 비슷한것도 안 당해봄..

有一部老片Spy Games《間諜遊戲》，是勞勃瑞福跟布萊德彼特演的，裡面美軍入侵中國蘇州監獄，接走兩個人（布萊德彼特演的中情局前幹員，跟他的女友），當時覺得這個劇本也太誇張了，不過美軍現在還在執行這種劇本，真是不可思議。這次特殊行動差不多也是播放一部電影的時間。

查了一下，電影是2001年的。當時的美軍是從澎湖空軍基地出發的，劇情設定真有趣。

@codinghorrorJeff Atwood timed the market on this as close to perfectly as you could have.

(I hope that some small part of that (noble, laudable) commitment to giving away half his wealth includes "everyone else who worked at SO never needs to worry about rent or groceries ever again".)

我一直覺得 ipfs 很有意思，可以讓任何人協助保存原始文件，而不是 copy 一份之後再重新上傳。

不過跟 Gemini 討論後，原來 ipfs 還會涉及到網站治理權以及被遺忘權，所以在尊重網站管理者與原作者的前提下，並不可以將創作內容預設以 ipfs 形式發佈，除非原作者與網站同意。

而且即使將內容以 ipfs 形式發佈，若無法散播 CID，或是無法證明 CID 就是原始內容，那也是白搭。

也許讓內容以 NFT 形式記錄是一個好的解方。由原作者以自己的意志將內容以 ipfs 形式發布，並將 CID 刻錄在 NFT 上，在乎的人就會去領取或購買 NFT，並根據上面記錄的 CID 去領取或釘選內容。這樣也能解決 ipfs CID 難以紀錄、傳播與證明的問題。
