@pj how is your experimental social media holding up to your expectations? Bursting at the seams with photos yet? As someone familiar with only Instagram and some Facebook it is proving hard to navigate and find posts.

Good morning The Forkiverse!! Another 200 people or so joined us overnight. And now the fire marshal is here. He's doing ... a sexy little dance. Wait a minute does this guy even work at the fire department

Brussels plots #opensource push to pry #Europe off #BigTech
According to the Commission, dependence on foreign vendors makes it harder for Europe to control its digital stack, potentially opening the door to security and resilience issues in sensitive sectors. Open source offers a way out of that bind by underpinning "a diverse portfolio of high-quality and secure digital solutions" that can act as viable alternatives to proprietary platforms, the EC said. https://go.theregister.com/feed/www.theregister.com/2026/01/11/eu_open_source_consultation/

Zaïd, Malya, Naila : en France, la haine raciste vise aussi les bébés

Des torrents de commentaires racistes se sont déversés en ligne à la découverte du prénom du premier bébé de 2026 né à Avignon. Comme lui, d’autres voient leur existence instrumentalisée dès la naissance, au profit de la théorie complotiste d’extrême droite du « grand remplacement ».

嗚呼、スマイリー原島君の訃報が。65は早過ぎるやろ…。出逢いは41年前。セクシャルのギタリストとして磔磔に初出演した際の対バンが原島君のアクシデンツだった。なので、原島君に再会する度に、「おー、たかし、子供やったのに大きくなったなー」と言われるのであった。中川敬19歳。無念。安らかに。

With agentic AI embedded at the OS level, databases storing entire digital lives accessible to malware, tasks whose reliability quickly breaks down at each step, and being opted-in without consent, @signalappSignal leadership, @Mer__edithMeredith Whittaker and Udbhav Tiwari, are sounding the alarm for the industry to pull back until threats can be mitigated.

"The #Forkiverse makes all of this visible...unfolding in real time. We are watching a community take shape, with excitement, disagreement, and inevitable growing pains. Whether or not it fixes the internet is almost beside the point...in the Fediverse, community is not abstract. Community matters more than algorithms....It is intentional, contextual, and deeply shaped by where you choose to belong. And there is space, even if you have too many faces." https://maho.dev/2026/01/the-forkiverse-experiment-and-why-instance-choice-matters/

We’re going to pay this cost for a very, very long time, because we’ve already put the heat in the ocean.”"

Good morning ☕

#Forkiverse people, if you want to inject some good news in your timeline make sure to follow my bot @TheBrightSide and if you have a feel good news to share tag it on it!

The first two versions of Google's #AlphaFold software (to predict protein folding) were #OpenSource, including the one that earned its developers the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. There were no restrictions on commercial use. But the third and most recent version blocks free commercial use, and is poised to earn $100+ billion from partnerships with #pharma companies. Then three MIT students reverse-engineered AlphaFold 3 and released their OSS model, called #Boltz, with no restrictions on commercial reuse. Like Red Hat, the Boltz team is making good money selling services while leaving the software free and open.

ugh. the version of pygame in the Raspberry Pi OS repo is the newer version that uses SDL2, meaning it no longer works with the fbcon driver.

UGH

I don't look at mastodon's default web interface much as I pretty much exclusivly use @phanpy so only now saw this helpful hint popup. this is something that I think we need a ton more of if we expect anyone new to ever get the hand of using the fediverse so bravo to the mastodon team for this one

"We used to say that it does not really matter which instance you choose when joining the Fediverse. Pick one, get started, and move later if you want. I still think this advice is useful for lowering the barrier to entry. But I no longer think it tells the full story.

Choosing an instance matters more than we tend to admit."
