I’ve been asked on TV hits and interviews lately to explain why decentralized social media is better, especially re: Mastodon.

How would you explain the benefits of a platform like Mastodon and the fediverse to someone in just a few sentences? How would you make the argument that platforms like Mastodon allow for more free expression than big tech controlled apps?

Would love to hear people’s thoughts! Trying to make my arguments most effective

@taylorlorenz

1. Your company, university, or club can run a Mastodon server for itself, under its full control.
2. No one can tell you which apps to use or what kind of functionality it can have.
3. You don't have to chase friends or influencers from platform to platform. Set up a homebase on the Fediverse and follow them remotely wherever they go.
4. You own your contacts. No algorithm keeps you from seeing them, or them from seeing you.
5. Your server can be hosted in your country.

터치 인터페이스가 유리한 건 그 유연성 덕에 여러 기능을 하나의 기기로 처리할 수 있다는 점인데, 운전은 고정된 작업이라서 유연할 필요가 없음. 있더라도 중앙 터치 디스플레이 하나면 대부분 대응 가능하고.

요즘 많은 전기차들이 테슬라의 허접한 인테리어를 미니멀리즘이라 착각하여 터치 인터페이스들을 도입하는데 자동차에 있어선 물리 버튼이 주가 되어야 하고 터치 스크린은 보조로 사용해야 한다고 본다. 생각 외로 조니 아이브는 이 생각에 동의하는지 꽤나 참신하고 견고한 자동차 실내 디자인이라 생각. 특히 알루미늄을 곳곳에 사용한 것도 조니 아이브답다면 아이브 다운 선택

간혹 테슬라 팬보이들은 테슬라의 실내 디자인과 이렇게 버튼이 달린 차를 비교하면서 피쳐폰과 스마트폰을 보는 것 같다고 하지만 이는 아무것도 모르는 멍청한 소리. 우선 차와 폰은 다르다는 문제도 있고 당시 버튼이 비판받던 이유는 매번 새로운 기능이나 디자인을 새로운 제품에만 넣어서 기존 제품의 업데이트를 제약한다는 문제도 있었다.

하지만 차는 다르다. 표준적인 인터페이스가 있고 폰과 달리 운전 중에도 작동시켜야 하는 기능들이 있음을 생각하면 터치스크린 중심의 자동차 인터페이스는 미니멀리즘의 탈을 쓴 엉망인 디자인이라고 본다.

Next up in a new store is merchandise! I had to grab my own set of stickers for this one, the artwork is so cool!

You've got Susie, snac's default icon embedded in a QR code. And then this ridiculously amazing artwork from @prahouTomáš that is just a must have for your sticker collection - or on a shirt - or mug. Just get it!

An alien with a wig and makeup on, with the words "SINCE YOU LEFT ME, I'VE BEEN SNACPILLED" with a website address for the snac platform. The client is holding a small Susie avatar.The default snac user avatar, Susie, black and white, embedded in a QR code sticker.

The combination of an anti-genAI screed that came across my timeline two days ago (garfieldtech.com/blog/selfish-), plus @nolanNolan Lawson's latest blog post "We mourn our craft" (nolanlawson.com/2026/02/07/we-), has given me a renewed desire to resist the supposedly inevitable future where we programmers are reduced to driving LLM-based coding agents and reviewing reams of generated code to make sure nothing bad slipped through, or worse, trusting yet more LLM agents to review and test the code for us.

"I stood on the street after my haircut and let sink in how big this was, how this technology has become an essential aide for so many, how I could lead performance efforts and help save the planet. Joining OpenAI might be the biggest opportunity of my lifetime."

Look, I understand grabbing the bag and I have been a fan of Brendan Gregg's work.

But maybe don't be completely delusional about working for a yet another big tech company thats destroying the society/planet?

RE: famichiki.jp/@FlockOfCats/1160

So I guess we’re done! Well, mostly done.

It turns out changing FoK from one family registry to another is not a one-step process (lol because of course it isn’t 😂)

It turns out that first, FoK’s hometown has to remove him from the old family registry, and make one with just him in it. Then that family registry is sent to the city where Miss FoC’s is located. Apparently, the process of making the solo family registry takes two weeks, and then the process of adding to ours takes two weeks 🙃

買い方はいちばん効率がいい形だと思ってる
1番いいものだけを最初から集めてるし、あとは趣味程度に集めるくらいだからにゃ
