Next up 
@michaelMichael Foster is up talking about the launch of the Qlub app and the Tŵt app, and how US tech giants don't share the same community values of the towns and communities we live in. #TootWales
Next up is 
@newsmastNewsmast Foundation to share more about their Apps For Change program which the new #TootWales app is a part of.
We've loved working with them just as much as they have with us. Team work to make the Social Web accessible for more people.

is either about to start a revolution or, start a sermon. Some might say both. Advocating for the open web shouldn't be a revolution. It's how the web started. It was all open. All free. Let's make it free and open again. #tootwales #twtcymru
My mastodon stream ranges from complaints that AI is slavery to lectures on how we need to stop using words like "think" to describe them. Chains of transformers have really made people lose their minds.

Heading to the #TwtCymru event or only able to join us in spirit? If you see something that evokes "toot", "tŵt", "dwti" or anything Welsh, send something to today's FediWall with the hashtag #TootWales
And follow along with this self-updating wall of toots: https://fediwall.social/?servers=mastodon.social&tags=tootwales,twtcymru,pethaubychain,littlethings,bettersocial,defaidodon,cymru,cymraeg&accounts=teamtoot@toot.wales&hide=nsfw,boosts,bots&ban=pubeurope.com&title=T%C5%B5t++Cymru+%7C+Toot+Wales+Fediwall&theme=light&interval=30
Ultimately I try to be grateful for the duality that I can see and feel because I think that navigating this requires having compassion for all these sides of ourselves. Being an ambitious person, with many years of skills, who gets joy out of creating, but also being a person in a world that is very happy to take advantage of creative and ambitious people past their limits. Knowing it is true that collectively my beautiful queer household starts further back always, this is just reality.
You have to find ways to fight that aren't grinding. You have to find paths to work hard that feel meaningful, like the rewards flow back to you and not to everyone else. You have to take the world as it is yet continually and always expect it to be far better than you have experienced. It is a lifelong challenge.
We're thrilled to be showing 
@elenaElena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ 's intro to the Fediverse video, explaining all the options and the underlying aim of the open social web.
Big thank you to Elena for her hard work on the video.
I don’t know what the hell ICE / CBP / FBI?? / other feds are up to, but we’ve had several •huge• swarms of federal vehicles rolling out these last few days.
They aren’t doing the kinds of chaotic off-the-street kidnappings there were doing all through Dec and Jan. But they sure are up to •something•.

You're here because you care, or you really like pies!
@jazjaz and the Team Twt staff care too.
If #TootWales or the broader open social web gives you what you need, provides you with connections that are meaningful to you, or brings you joy - tell your friends!

Today 
@kopperkopper 
shared a post on the fediverse titled how to not regret c2s, and I found it genuinely interesting to read, even if I'm not sure its proposed architecture actually solves what it sets out to solve.
The author's frustration with naïve #C2S implementations is well-founded. Slapping an #ActivityPub facade onto an existing Mastodon-like server and calling it C2S doesn't buy you much—you end up with the rigidity of a bespoke API without any of the interoperability C2S is supposed to offer. The “JSON-LD flavored Mastodon API” framing is apt.
The proposed solution is to split responsibility more aggressively: the C2S server should be nearly stateless and dumb, storing ActivityPub objects without interpreting them, while a separate “client” layer handles indexing, timelines, moderation, and exposes its own API to the frontend running on the user's device. It's a clean separation of concerns on paper.
But here's what bothers me. When you map this architecture onto familiar terms, it looks roughly like this:
That's not a new architecture. That's just the current architecture with the labels shifted. The interesting question is which interface gets standardized, and the author's answer is the one between the C2S server and the “client” layer—the bottom boundary.
The problem is that what people actually want from C2S is to connect any frontend to any server. The portability they're after lives at the top boundary, between the frontend and whatever is behind it. But the author explicitly argues against standardizing that layer: “we don't really need a standardized api,” they write, leaving each client free to expose whatever API it likes.
Which means frontends remain locked to specific clients, just as Mastodon apps are locked to the Mastodon API today. The interoperability promise of C2S—log in to any server with any app—isn't actually delivered. It's been pushed one layer down, out of reach of the end user.
There's real value in the post's thinking about data hosting vs. interpretation, and about the security implications of servers that understand too much. But as an answer to the question C2S is supposed to answer, I'm not convinced.
One of these days, I won't be able to keep up with the amazing 
@astro community... but I live to fight another month!
the rough non lawyer answer i can give you is "historically humans have to make it for it to be copyrightable" and so that begs the question if the ai is a tool or its own thing. if it's a tool, then the human that uses the tool has the copyright. if it's not... who knows

I think it's impossible to overstate how influential leftist voices on TikTok were from about 2019 to 2024. And how flippant liberals outside of the app were to the idea of a US takeover.
Yes, it's unfortunate that this movement had to occur on a corporate app. But this is a two things are true situation.
No other social media platform uplifted more Black, brown, and queer voices in the history of social media. And it's very clear how that happened.
Before we kick off 
@andypiper is offering some FediWall tips to @jazjaz - true community spirit, exactly what Twt is all about.
Everyone is loving your posts so far, keep them coming using the hashtag #TootWales

I think these strikes were designed to economically cripple anyone whose supporting or enabling the US and Israel.
It's also not just some tragedy. Its a DIRECT message to stop targetting the civilian leadership of the Iranina government.
The US KNEW targetting the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian would mean a "total war" response.
So Iran is willing to strike Dubai. A target valued by the world's top capitalist.
Trump literally just tried to KILL the civilian leadership of a foreign nation with NO congressional approval at all!
For the US, by its own rules, this entire operation was illegal from this first missile fired.
So while I call it like I see it, "Iran hit civilians", its hard as fuck to think that justifies ANYTHING America and Israel is doing right now.
I think the US and Israel should leave Iran the fuck alone and stop fucking around.

I know all the conceptual, empirical and philosophical arguments about why productivity isn't production.
I still fight with the production demons in my brain every single day. Research is judged on production, so excruciatingly. Especially applied research. You grind through endless piles of other people's questions when you're in those early career roles trying to get heard. No finding is ever enough to take a break. Endless treadmills of studies
Had a brilliant day today at #SotB2026 !
Took all my notes on paper, which is why I've been quiet about it, it's better for my concentration ✏️
Looking forward to chinwagging down the pub shortly 🍻

So I've been thinking. We've added an "AI disclosure policy" for Spectre.Console lately. Not prohibiting people who want to use it, but just to know whether they used AI, what they used it for, and to what extent.
We also ask all contributors to sign a CLA.
How does copyright work in these instances? Is code that the contributors didn't write even copyrightable? Is the copyright transferable per our CLA? Is there any prior art regarding this?
