Thank you, everyone. We landed on a boring colander from a local big box store.
Maybe my kids can make a robot out of the old one after the handle snapped off. 🤔

404 Media found multiple users of Zello, an app previously used by January 6 insurrectionists, linked to ICE officials. An officer at the scene of an CBP official shooting a U.S. citizen also used the app.

This is the Holos application I mentioned to you over the call:
I think you have to still request to try it out — as they are still in heavy development & testing phase.

"Across disciplines, people are building tools, stories, and systems that meet real needs, create shared meaning, and offer continuity in moments of uncertainty.
These efforts don’t always call themselves political, but they shape culture by demonstrating what’s possible and by helping people imagine how life could be organized differently."

WebRacket has a fancy new website https://soegaard.github.io/webracket/
Some nice demos on there.
It's also using WASM-GC. I wonder how much of its development learned from Spritely's Hoot? https://spritely.institute/hoot/
Directly, or even indirectly, since LLM agents do seem to be being used to develop WebRacket:

EDIT: WebRacket's a lot more vibe coded than I realized, see below
Popular YouTube creators hold so much power in raising awareness about alternatives to Big Tech platforms.
I felt hope while watching Johnny Harris's latest video "The Internet Didn't Fail. It Was Taken"... which ultimately launched a new initiative: crowdsourced journalism on a site called NewPress.
Looking at screenshots I thought the site was hosted on #Ghost and thus federated.
Alas it's on SquareSpace and filled with trackers 😭
Who can we get on the Fediverse? Maybe Vanessa Wingårdh?

@neilNeil Brown What are the alternatives? Serious question. I'm fully aware of how bad SS is and refuse to have anything to do with it, I'm just not certain where to point creators I respect when I find them using it.
Do not comply.
Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave.
This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity.
This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights.

a medical professional in berlin asked me for a referral for paid help migrating from windows to debian on their work laptop (thinkpad), is there a cool small company (or freelancer) in berlin who does that sort of thing that you can recommend?
RE: https://mastodon.social/@MastodonEngineering/116103936616513460
We are looking at growing the Mastodon team with two new backend developers. We are starting some ambitious projects and need help!
You need to have a significant experience with Ruby on Rails as this is our framework of choice, but we are also looking for experience in search algorithms, protocol specifications, Rust or Go and project management (this one to assist me in tracking everything we are working on).
If you are interested, please apply using the form provided in the job description.
Gave your ID to Persona (withpersona.com) for verification? Your biometric + identity data may be stored for up to 3 years.
To request deletion:
→ Email privacy@withpersona.com
→ Use withpersona.com/dsar
→ Contact the platform that required it too
Don't just email one, email BOTH. Persona says they're just a "processor" and will redirect you to the platform. The platform may redirect you back. Create a paper trail with both.
