다들 초등학교 이야기를 좋아하시는군요 저는 이 이야기를 좋아합니다... 옛날 묘지를 밀고 지은 학교가 많아서 학교 괴담이 많다지만 실제로는 아이들의 양기에 귀신들이 나올 수가 없다는 와귀신이다 진짜 귀신이에여 왜 죽었어요 몇살이에여 이름 뭐에여 근데요 왜요 어디 살아요 그 옷 뭐애여 왜 얼굴이 허얘요 우리 엄마는 나는 어쩌고 질문 백 만 개

ゼッツとたんプリ、作風違うが音楽がちょっと似てる空気感あるなーと想って調べたら「探偵物とスパイものの音楽ルーツが同じ(1950年頃の都会・夜と言ったテーマを持った作品にジャズ系音楽が使われてた)」と言うことを知ってなるほどとなる

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.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.

A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

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.

It occurs to me that there are other voices we should be listening to that aren't European or American in our internet spaces.

So Fediverse who else should we be reading when we worry about Internet Freedom?

About the centralisation dangers and censorship on the internet?

Who are we drowning out?

EDIT: :BoostOK:

Like seriously, if you have a suggestion please reply. I'm enthusiastically asking.

@onepictEsther Payne :bisexual_flag: Chinese activists. The PRC has the most sophisticated and comprehensive internet censorship and filtering mechanism in the world, and importantly: they also export their technology and knowledge to other repressive regimes.

The Great Firewall Report site for technical reports and descriptions of censorship mechanisms: gfw.report/en/
The Net4People forum, hosted on Github issues, where people (not only Chinese but also Russians, Iranians, etc) discuss network censorship: github.com/net4people/bbs

Also in June of 2025, the French city of Lyon announced it would also stop using Microsoft Office for its 10,000 employees, and switch to an # software alternative. City officials pointed to licensing costs, end-of-life transition costs for version changes, and control of their own data, were reasons cited.

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.

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.)
