오늘은 1년 전으로부터 365일이 지난 날입니다.

and let’s not forget that, on 23 January 2026, Minnesota also had a 24hr #generalStrike

A reminder that while there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, you don't have to lean into it.

Oh, that is very interesting. I will queue this up for inclusion in the delightful fediverse development curated list.

#Datastar may be a great library to check out here, and goes further in #hypermedia approach, where #HTMX considers itself feature-complete. Datastar uses #SSE to keep the connection to the client open. The client-side JS lib that is needed is super small. In datastar apps most of the business logic lives in the backend, and it lends itself very well for #EventSourcing. The original author/co-maintainer uses it with #NATS which also serves as the event store.

A fun thing to think about: Where are all the Singularity people with solar?

There’s this whole pseudoscientific subculture organized around the one epistemological premise of “lines that go up will go up forever,” when in reality trends change and curves level off. And now here’s this one thing where people keep stubbornly predicting that it will level off and in fact the line (on a log scale) •has• kept going up far more consistently than predicted…. So why aren’t all the Effective Altruism people saying stuff like “In the future solar cells will save trillions of lives, so it doesn’t matter how many oil executives we kill in the present?”

At my local Costco, they sell this movie ticket bundle voucher: 2 general admissions, 2 soft drinks, and a popcorn.
I bought one. Planning to enter the cinema for the first time in years to watch Blades of the Guardians.
I used the cinemas ticket booking mobile app, entered the code, picked our seat, and pressed the button to complete the transaction.
App errored out.
I tried again but now the system marked my voucher as used.

So... the dev forgot to wrap things in db transaction?? 💀💀💀

one of my favorite things to do on the internet: cooking blogs, cooking subreddits, wikipedia browsering and cooking videos :)

the more I eat vegan, the more I transition towards chinese cooking again and of course levantine vegetable dishes up and down.

I opened a issue in the swicg ActivityPub API repo about a gap i keep running into: how does a C2S client access server-local metadata about foreign objects?

Thread collections, read status, notifications — your server knows things about remote objects that the client needs, but AP has no vocabulary for it.

@tante My point is that LLMs 'try' (and very often fail) to solve the wrong problem.

Writing all the boilerplate -> should be solved by better frameworks.
Spell check -> I think this is already invented.
Summarize long texts -> Executive summaries.
Produce (verbose) text -> Writing in my view is as much thinking as it is writing - skipping the thinking part is counter-productive.

Hello, Fediverse 👋

I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with purpose-led businesses.

I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.

Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

I made @dthompsondave take notes in the meeting I normally take notes in for a month because I thought I couldn't do screen sharing with my setup, when in fact I could have, I was just misunderstanding

I am sorry daaaaaave

I was disappointed to read Cory Doctorow's post where he got weirdly defensive about his LLM use and started arguing with an imaginary foe.

@tante has a very thoughtful reply here:

@briankrebs and if you believe this from a company where the executives hide from the public, explicitly authoritarian goals of irreversibly identifying everyone online, and direct ties to outspoken Nazis and fascists through funding?

Then all you need to do is pay the $5000 processing fee in Visa gift cards, and I can transfer you $500M USD from the Euorpean lottery tomorrow.

this is the kind of meme that pisses me off for it’s lack of one huge piece of evidence: DAT

today's #AltTxt #yaddayadda is about the historic FEBRUARY 12 2026 #GeneralStrike in #India:
https://peoplesdispatch.org/2026/02/20/anatomy-of-a-general-strike-how-workers-in-the-indian-state-of-karnataka-shut-down-production/

❝ 300 million workers just shut down India.

The largest strike in human history, and most of the Western media barely whispered it. That silence is complicity in Modi’s war on workers’ rights.

India’s general strike is the future that the billionaires and ruling class fears most ❞ 🧵…

아. 어디가 이상했는지 이제 알게되었어요 진짜 저능해졌나봐 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ퓨ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

It’s all well and good to be worried about centralized social media when it’s owned by fascists and there are troops on the streets and peaceful protesters are being kidnapped and killed and we’re about to strike Iran, but next time, can we listen to the people sounding the alarm a little earlier?

Make sure everyone sees this then. The FCC apparently changed its “equal time” rule on talk shows to make it hard for Colbert or The View to air interviews with candidates like Talarico. Video link in comments.

Seriously, I don't think most Americans have put together that natalism, "naturalism," anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-vax, pedophilia, misogyny, queerphobia, eugenics, racism, anti-immigrant xenophobia, anti-woke, anti-DEI, and disempowering labor through automation and "AI" are all interlocking parts of modern fascist ideology.
