[단독] 강남개발로 사라진 아름다운 섬 ‘무동도’ 사진 첫 발굴 www.hani.co.kr/arti/area/ar... "무동도는 봉은사역과 옛 서울의료원 네거리 사이 봉은사로의 남북에 걸쳐 있었다. 무동도를 둘러싼 샛강은 한강 본류에서 현대차그룹 터 중간으로 흘러들어와 봉은사역 부근에서 동쪽으로 꺾인 뒤 영동대로114길을 따라 다시 한강 본류로 흘러들어갔다. 백사장까지 포함한 무동도의 전체 넓이는 22만㎡(6만7천평) 정도였고, 우뚝한 돌산은 4만5천㎡(1만3600평) 정도였다."

"Capture it all": #ICE urged to explain memo about collecting info on #protesters

Senator Edward J. #Markey (D-Mass.) demanded that #Immigration and #Customs Enforcement ( #ICE ) confirm or deny the existence of a "domestic #terrorists ” database that lists US #citizens who protest ICE's immigration crackdown.

I feel #Mastodon merits a vocabulary shift, given its design's contraposition to Twitter...

How about:

[단독] 미국 요구 ‘한국 대미투자 1호’는 국내 보도 안 된 에너지 사업 www.hani.co.kr/arti/politic... "미국이 제안한 ‘에너지 분야’ 사업은 국내 언론에 보도된 적이 없는 프로젝트로, 과거 한국 기업 한곳이 미국에 투자 가능성을 검토했다가 사업성 부족 등을 이유로 접었던 사안인 것으로 알려졌다. 청와대 고위 관계자는 “기존에 거론된 알래스카 개발이나 엘엔지(LNG), 원전 사업은 아니다”라고 설명했다."

🎮아키라키드, 아재들 휴지준비하세유😭

어둑한 실내, 귀 때리는 게임 소음, 오락기 위 줄지어 놓인 100원 동전, 아이들의 환호성, 형님들의 체어샷

당시 부모세대에겐 ‘불온의 온상‘ 이던 오락실-

홀린듯이 정주행했네요…
그 때 그 시절 오락실 다닌 아재들 눈물빼는 명 다큐!

97년 홀연히 일본으로 넘어가 버파로 열도를 박살내고 온 아키라키드의 서사가 진짜… 로망&도파민 뿜뿜입니다.

약간 뒷 세대지만 소싯적(?) 길티기어라는 2D 격투게임으로 팀배틀도 하고 전국대회 입상도 해보고 지역 고수 도장깬다고 깝쳐도 본지라 더더욱 사무치게 공감하고 그리웠🥲

다큐에 나온 압구정 조이플라자부터 노량진 정인, 이수 테마파크 등등-

온라인 게임에서는 절대 느낄수 없는
오프라인에서 직접 만나서 동전걸고 게임하고 훈수두던 그 시절 그 갬성은 다시는 돌아올수 없는, 하지만 무엇과도 바꿀수 없는 소중한 추억의 한장이 됐네요…

이렇게라도 추억할 수 있게 해주신 SBS 제작진께 경의를 표하며🙏

The Washington Post’s editorial page went off the rails long ago, but it still managed to remain one of a shrinking number of great investigative newsrooms. I hope something picks up the slack.

Thanks for nothing, Bezos.

HOLY FUCKING FUCK THEY KILLED THE CIA WORLD FACTBOOK

https://www.cia.gov/stories/story/spotlighting-the-world-factbook-as-we-bid-a-fond-farewell/

Maybe I'm paranoid but I would never use the OS that came preloaded on a PC. Especially not a copy of Windows 11 that came "free" with a refurbished machine from eBay. #bsd #freebsd

The time is probably right.

Back in 2022, when I was still using iOS, I wasn’t completely happy with the Fediverse apps that were available. I was mostly using Akkoma, and the interface I liked the most was actually its web UI, even on mobile. So I started playing with Xcode and put together the foundations of an app tailored to my needs.

A lot has changed since then and today we have great alternatives like IceCubes, Mona, Ivory, etc. Each one has strengths and weaknesses though, so I picked up my old project again and kept pushing it forward.

So I’m happy to announce that my app will finally see the light: I’ve been using it for the past few days and, in my spare time, I’m fixing bugs and adding missing features. I’m building it around my own needs, so it doesn’t have to “appeal to everyone”. I wouldn’t call it opinionated, but it’s definitely targeted.

The app will have one key trait: #snac2 support will be a first-class feature, not an incidental one. Many apps, especially on iOS, support snac as a side effect, but the experience is often not optimal. In this case, the choice is deliberate and it strictly follows the Mastodon API support implemented by snac. So snac will work properly (within the limits of the platform, of course).

Among the features already implemented: the app is minimal and lightweight (under 10 MB, including debug code), easy on RAM, and privacy-first (for example it strips EXIF data from media before posting, so the server will never see it). On snac it also cleans up the "Boosted by Aoderelay" messages that appear when using a relay, removes the character limit, and supports posting in Markdown.

I also added support for Apple Intelligence to generate alt text, both for the media I post and for media posted by others that is missing alt text.

Everything is processed locally through Apple APIs and only on supported devices. The results aren't amazing, Apple Intelligence is extremely limited, but in my opinion it's the only privacy-friendly and ethical way to approach it. And of course, you can disable it.

On Mastodon it supports all the main features: lists, quote posts, granular notifications (you can choose what you want for each category), notification grouping, multi-account support, and it works.

It's still missing a few things (block, etc.) and has some bugs, which I’m spotting as I keep using it.
As soon as it's stable enough, I'll invite a few people to test it. I still haven't fully decided how I'll distribute it: an Apple Developer account has a yearly cost, and I hope to reuse it for other projects too. So this app might be paid, with a trial period, but if possible (I still need to check what’s feasible) I'd like it to be free if you connect to one of the BSD Cafe instances, illumos Cafe, or any snac instance, including your own.

I don't know how long it will take before it's ready... but I can already tell you what it will be called.
It already has a name, and it's... MastoBlaster.

This name was chosen for personal reasons, and also because of its similarity to Master Blaster by Stevie Wonder, which even today feels relevant and fitting for the Fediverse.

Stay tuned!

19년째를 맞은 차별금지법 발의에 부쳐 [프리스타일] www.sisain.co.kr/news/article... "2016년 일본은 재특회의 혐한 시위에 대응해 ‘헤이트 스피치 해소법’을 제정했다. 처벌 규정이 없어서 실효적이지 않다는 비판이 있지만, 혐오에 대응하라는 전 국민적 요구에 정치권이 내놓은 답변이라는 점에서 복기할 만하다. 당시 법 제정에 관여했던 일본 시민사회 모임 ‘카운터스’는 “많은 사람들이 고통받고 있다면 우산을 씌워서 보호해야 한다”라고 말했다."

The 2026 FreeBSD Developer Summit will take place alongside BSDCan on June 17–18, 2026, and we're now accepting proposals.

Suggested topics include networking performance, laptop support, ports and packaging infrastructure, CI and testing, power management, and development tools.

📅 Proposal deadline: March 25, 2026
📧 Submit proposals or questions: devsummit@FreeBSD.org

We look forward to receiving proposals and to another productive Developer Summit at BSDCan.

A lot of messaging systems try to reinvent the email system but many (signal, matrix, xmpp) took over one key traditional design which we actually dropped while retaining SMTP/IMAP compatibility: server-controlled identities.

With #chatmail user identities are cryptographic and reside on end user devices only. Servers are only message relays and have no control over identities or chats, only perform fast message routing. See this fosdem talk by one of our lead developers https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/fosdem/2026/ud2218a/3F9VTU-deltachat-chatmail-relays-multi-transport.av1.webm

Someone at #FOSDEM reached out to me about a organization that takes care of the logistics of hosting conferences? I.e. venue, ticketing and catering. And it was free for open source projects.

I remember Munich, London and Paris(?) as possible locations?

Sounded great. Forgot their name. Does anyone know?

Boost appreciated!
