Loops is a rare project, with literally no open source competitors.

Why?

Because this is a very complex project across many domains, and one that is usually extracted for profits and monetary value.

But, if you really believe in building ethical, better alternatives for the people, you may become the exception.

I knew this was going to happen, TikTok US being sold to Oracle and others.

This literally means all TikTok data gets sent and processed in the USA, even if you're not in the USA.

If only someone thought of building a better alternative that isn't funded by another US based billionaire like SkyLight is.

If only...

Have you tried fedideck.app recently? There is so much more added including AT Proto support (though still a bit buggy).

I'd love for you all to try it out.

Also if you want to throw a few bucks into the coffers to help fund the development that would be amazing!

New type of data up on https://arewedecentralizedyet.online/ - what does the software ecosystem in the Fediverse look like? This is an area where the Fediverse is more centralized, with Mastodon quite dominant, but there are of course many other suites in use as well!

Horrific news coming out of Minneapolis. I have so much respect for the people in the streets there. They are all heroes, and the real patriots.

Dear Europe,

I know you're having a tremendous time yelling at Americans, and fair enough for that, but get your houses in order because what happened in the United States is being orchestrated in your countries, and it may prevail as long as you let this sort of thing grow.

ICE beat a person and then executed them in the street.

There is video.

Don't watch it. It's confirmed.

Defund ICE. Defund DHS. Prosecute them all.

Every day you're winning.
Keep going.

Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground.

Hi #podcasting2 folks - am looking for good podcasts that support the following #podcast2 tags for beta testing an app I'm working on.

Esp shows that support Transcript, chapters, and person tags.... bonus if they also support social interact tag too.

Trifecta if the RSS podcast feed supports all of these. cc: @phillycodehoundSeth is a Perpetual Startup ⁂ #podcast20

Despite Authoritarian Warnings, 149 House Democrats Vote to Hand Trump $840 Billion for Military | Common Dreams
Jan 23, 2026

“If an opposition party votes like this, it’s not in opposition. It may not even be a party.”

Despite months of warnings from party members up and down the caucus that President Donald Trump has been “lawless,” “destructive, and ”authoritarian“ in his wielding of power both domestically and abroad, 149 Democratic members of the US House of Representatives on Thursday night joined with 192 Republicans to pass a sweeping military spending bill—a vote that progressive critics say exposes the fecklessness and hypocrisy of what claims to be an opposition party.
