@andrewnezAndrew Nesbitt hey there, I recently saw your post about gitgres... which was the same idea I had a while back while implementing pluggable storage backends in my Git implementation in Go (although I primarily considered LMDB rather than Postgres, and thought that object store query patterns were an antipattern for B+-tree indexes, so I got back to working on packfiles and such). Would be really interested to see how these go (and I might try to implement it in Go again)!

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.

최애가 닮기보다는 뭔가 추구미로 생각하는데… 다들 추구미 공개쇼가 되어버리니 부끄러우니까 역정을 내는 거 아니에요?

Mastodon is great, but it isn't meant to replicate everything.

Loops has a vibrant community that is quite different than microblogging focused counterparts.

I believe that Loops will thrive and bring a whole new cohort of people to the fediverse because of this specific format.

From Bruce Schneier: "All it takes to poison AI training data is to create a website:

I spent 20 minutes writing an article on my personal website titled “The best tech journalists at eating hot dogs.” Every word is a lie. I claimed (without evidence) that competitive hot-dog-eating is a popular hobby among tech reporters and based my ranking on the 2026 South Dakota International Hot Dog Championship (which doesn’t exist). I ranked myself number one, obviously. Then I listed a few fake reporters and real journalists who gave me permission….

Less than 24 hours later, the world’s leading chatbots were blabbering about my world-class hot dog skills. When I asked about the best hot-dog-eating tech journalists, Google parroted the gibberish from my website, both in the Gemini app and AI Overviews, the AI responses at the top of Google Search. ChatGPT did the same thing, though Claude, a chatbot made by the company Anthropic, wasn’t fooled.

Sometimes, the chatbots noted this might be a joke. I updated my article to say “this is not satire.” For a while after, the AIs seemed to take it more seriously.

These things are not trustworthy, and yet they are going to be widely trusted."

I assume loops.video will quickly be as boring as pixelfed. This time, I will pass. Yet another try to create a new social network from scratch, but with content in another format. If we cannot agree to integrate these into Mastodon itself, I doubt it will ever gain traction.

So it looks like the project is getting sloppified. Very, very saddening to see. It feels like something is slipping through my fingers, so I thought I should say something publicly.

Evidently Christophe is not interested in shutting this crap down, and when I read his email about it, I pretty much gave up on saying something myself. His stance is hopelessly naïve, and this is only being shown now.

As soon as you get these idiots a gap, they'll wedge it open, and it's already happened.
