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.

흑백요리사에서 '중식여신'으로 출연한 박은영 셰프가 오픈한 식당 이름 '누와'가 여와(女媧)에서 따왔다는 얘기를 봤는데.. 불만이 있다. 왜 한국에서는 쓰촨(四川, Sìchuān)을 '시추안'으로 표기하고 위위안(豫园, yùyuán)을 '유유안'으로 표기하고 뉘와(女娲, 女媧, Nǚwā)를 '누와'로 표기하는가? 아마 표기가 너무 '중국적으로' 보이기 때문이겠지.. 하지만 내게는 미국을 한 번 갔다가 수입한 아메리칸 차이니즈처럼 보이고 다소 언프로페셔널해 보인다.

Previously reported by yours truly, in January of 2026, France announced they would cancel Microsoft Teams for all national government employees and instead move to an OSS alternative that also stored all data on French cloud services.

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.

Have I already mentioned that the “Show thread” request is slowly driving me crazy?

Remember the "One Laptop Per Child" project, that developed a low-cost computer for children in developing countries? I was always amazed by a certain feature: The "View Source" button.

When you pressed it, the source code for the currently running application would open. This was supposed to encourage tinkering with the software on your device! <3

I've been pondering what it would take to build that button on modern machines. Has anyone seen something like that?

(Prototype in next toot.)

Say you're writing a Rust macro. There's no way for your macro to issue a warning (not an error), right? Google finds only old discussions where people suggested this and were shot down.

(There is a crate that fakes it by doing something grody.)

And yes, the orbital AI datacenter thing is real, and 2 companies that I know of have already filed with the FCC for over a million satellites for this completely untested, fucking stupid idea. Fuck you, SpaceX, for one million satellites and using pseudo-religious language in your filing.

Instructions on how you can submit a comment to the FCC telling them that you also think this is stupid are here! https://darksky.org/news/two-satellite-proposals-threaten-the-night-sky-the-window-to-act-is-now/

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.

@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.

SUMTHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES
