The next #PyData #Helsinki #meetup is on 26 February 2026 at RELEX Solutions, Postintaival 7.
We've got a data engineering lineup: pipeline refactoring with dlt, how database indexes actually work, and two lightning talks on DuckDB and data connectors.

‘금액만 254조’ 전례없는 최고난도 환불···상호관세 돌려받으려면 “5년 동안 법정 싸움”

I’m not “in denial” about AI. I see it where I work, I hear about it from my coworkers who use it, the extra work it causes and the problems they run into, the wrong assumptions it makes.
I see the impacts on communities, the environment, politics, and artists.
I see the impending bubble burst and economic collapse.
I see just recently how an AI system erroneously took down AWS to rebuild the environment. I see how an AI output insults about human programmers. I see how it’s being used to generate images of assault, including against children.
Any time saved in using it is blood money.

Recreating Mega Man’s Mega Buster
https://hackaday.com/2026/02/22/recreating-mega-mans-mega-buster/
working on writing FEDERATION.md i already found one easily fixable deviation (siteName instead of nodeName in nodeinfo).
The LLM discourse on the Fediverse has really irked me the last few days.
Refusing to read writing made with the use of LLMs and refusing to give time to writers who use, promote or justify the use of LLMs is not purity culture, it's a boycott. It's a political act of withdrawing my time, resources and support for something that I find deeply morally wrong. It's protest. I have a choice and I refuse.
LLMs are exploitative, destructive, biased, mediocre parroting machines. Using them has a negative impact on the climate, the arts, the quality of the internet, the job market, the economy, the accessibility of electronics, even on skill development, creativity and mental health. LLMs are made and trained on the unpaid labour of millions -if not billions- of people who didn't consent. Their generic output litter the path to finding anything by true human creators.
Wherever I can, for as long as I can, I reject LLMs and anything that is related to them. I'm boycotting.
There has never been a more important hockey match.

People are always talking about armadillos but they never talk about legadillos
사람들이 창조적인 발상이 담긴/의도를 잘 반영한 무언가를 그닥 원하지 않는 경우가 어느 정도로 잦은지를 봐야… 'AI는 그런 걸 잘 하지 못한다'는 논증이 커버하는 범위를 알 수 있겠지

I have a Mastodon question.
I post mostly in English, but if I post in French, I try to remember to change the setting to Français.
I see a large number of posts in German, while my language seting is English and French. Is this simply because the poster didn't select the language? Maybe all apps don't allow this?
When I see posts in a language I can't read, I mute or block that poster, but some people post in more than one language.
Fedify 2.0.0 is here!
This is the biggest release in Fedify's history. Here are the highlights:

wakest ⁂@fedify/fedify package has been broken up into focused, independent packages: @fedify/vocab, @fedify/vocab-runtime, @fedify/vocab-tools, @fedify/webfinger, and more. Smaller bundles, cleaner imports, and the ability to extend ActivityPub with custom vocabulary types.@fedify/debugger package gives you a live dashboard at /__debug__/ showing all your federation traffic: traces, activity details, signature verification, and correlated logs. Just wrap your Federation object and you're done.@fedify/relay and the fedify relay CLI command. Supports both Mastodon-style and LitePub-style relay protocols (FEP-ae0c).orderingKey option solves the “zombie post” problem where a Delete arrives before its Create. Activities sharing the same key are guaranteed to be delivered in FIFO order.setOutboxPermanentFailureHandler() lets you react when a remote inbox returns 404 or 410, so you can clean up unreachable followers instead of retrying forever.Other changes include content negotiation at the middleware level, @fedify/lint for shared linting rules, @fedify/create for quick project scaffolding, CLI config files, native Node.js/Bun CLI support, and many bug fixes.
This release includes significant contributions from Korea's OSSCA participants. Huge thanks to everyone involved!
This is a major release with breaking changes—please check the migration guide before upgrading.

Makes me want to jump into upgrading 
@encyclia, especially after we postponed the Fresh 2.x integration. But it sounds like that's going to be a bit of an adventure, so I'll wait until I can set an afternoon aside for it.
의도와 디테일이 중요한 창작의 영역에서는 말 할 것도 없고...
"Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects1. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk’s platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users’ feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X’s algorithm has persistent effects on users’ current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship."

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. alternatively add the Reply itself, parallel to likes/shares collections. it depends on whether you think the replies collection should always contain a specific type of object, which i don't think is something you can guarantee because publishers can do anything with it. similar to how some publishers include activities in threads and some include notes.
@julian@fietkau.socialJulian Fietkau @evanEvan Prodromou @julian@activitypub.space @smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. i think the issue here is that projects are doing things that may or may not get widely adopted, then if the proposals ever change, they have to deal with older software only understanding the old thing they tried. (this is where i would say something about protocol capability negotiation)
Also not sure if I should even long post about my intention to move abroad, since I'm on a tech focused server. Don't want to bother yall but it's also such a big theme in my life atm that I don't have much else to post about 😅
@Gina@fosstodon.org I know you're on Mastodon, but can I recommend you check out Bonfire? Bonfire has MANY ways of controlling your posts. They call them boundaries. I haven't done too much with them yet, but I'm with you on the feeling of wanting to keep work and my personal life/social network life separate.
그러니까 이런 저런 이유로 한 사업체, 더 나아가 산업군에서 특정한 인력을 AI로 교체한다는 것은 이런 한계성을 염두해두지 않은 결정임에 분명해서 그 서비스 질이 현저하게 떨어질 수 밖에 없으리라 생각한다. 어제 말한 이야기의 연장으로 결국 이와 같은 행동은 사람이 한번 더 일하게 만드므로 효율적이지도 않다.
