Possible solution to the agentic slopware takeover of repos:

Require every contributor to have a verified* Fediverse account.

* multiple verified website links on profile
* rational posting history
* quick handle search doesn't yield accusations of being a bot

Yes, this does mean we lose the ability for contributors to remain fully anonymous, but, like, we're running out of options here. We *have* to know if you're a real human being somehow… 🫠

I mean, how is it possible NOT to pillory these people?

Setting aside the fact that this is moronic fiction – would it be a GOOD thing to destroy the entire white collar office job? Would that be GOOD for the economy? Would that lead to prosperity?

They are yearning for a world where they have destroyed everything, and shrug it off as if there is nothing they could do to stop it.

If I was building a thing which I thought would destroy the economy, I would simply NOT.

This post is a sincere thank you to my Mastodon family for the (super) warm reception of Current.

We are firmly #1 in news and just about to break top 20 in the entire App Store.

Thank you!!!

KDE Plasma 6.6 released

KDE Plasma 6.6 has been released, and brings with a whole slew of new features. You can save any combination of themes as a global theme, and there's a new feature allowing you to increase or decrease the contrast of frames and outlines. If your device has a camera, you can now scan Wi-F settings from QR codes, which is quite nice if you spend a lot of time on the road.

There's a new colou

RE: mastodon.social/@glyph/1160721

I appreciate all my patrons! I have a little shout-out system in github.com/glyph/sponcom . If you sponsor via Patreon I can easily reach out to get your name for that, but if you sponsor via Github Sponsors but hide your email on that platform, I have no contact info without scraping through git history or similar; I don't want to do anything stalkery if you've indicated you don't want to be contacted, but this also means no SponCom entry, and I think that many people do this unintentionally.

I've been building an RSS reader for the past year. No unread counts, no inbox to clear. Just a river that flows at its own pace.

Today it's live on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. I wrote about everything that went into it.

Maybe something to clarify with . There is a full moderation system like on any Fediverse instance. Moderators can ban accounts. But relays are dumb by design: your identity and data belong to you, not to the relay. A ban is like a relay going down, you don't lose everything. You can move to another relay and keep all your followers, following, and data. With a custom domain the transition is seamless, otherwise it works through standard migration.
