Opening session at #MobileSocialCongress2026 How do we create a feminist, decolonised AI? with 
@ymouledYoussef M. of the 
@AlgoRace project. "Race can be seen as a 'technology'."
Tech as something magic that normal people cannot understand.
In AI the colonial relations between North and Global South are multiplied, with data workers in the South being exploited.
The Smalltalk System Browser has survived for 40 years.
That’s not an accident: it solves the context problem extremely well.
But the real friction in modern Smalltalk may lie elsewhere: the lack of composition between IDE tools.

Break `ScrollableList` component into parts (#38059) by diondiondion has been merged! https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/commit/a70079968c55891e387b1c1e524bb314b9dfb033
In prep for the Windows 12 rollout, now is a good time to get your town's Linux Install Parties planned and advertised.
Here's my town's https://fxbginstall.party/
Here's a quick how-to guide to spinning one up in your town:
Goals:
- Install Linux on your neighbors' laptops. This preserves older laptops ( #permacomputing #ewaste prevention). This removes people from one part of the surveillance economy. And it saves people money.
- The party should be geared towards NON-TECHIES. This is NOT a Linux Users Group. This is not for enthusiasts. This for folks who just want their computer to work and let them do the basics. Bend the tech to the people, not the people to the tech.
Date and Time:
- Shoot for monthly parties. Try for a specific day of the week. Say the "First Saturday" or "Second Sunday" of every month.
- Easy for folks to remember and if they miss one month, they'll be there the next month
- Try for between two hours to four hours for the event.
- Be consistent. Show up for the full time even if no one shows up. Some times it takes two or three meetings before people start to come regularly.
Location:
- Shoot for a public community area
- The best bet is your local library if they have rooms or conference areas.
- City community centers are good, too
- Also look for religious institutions, civic orgs, or fraternal orgs if need be. It needs to be open to
the public, though, with no requirements to push other agendas on to visitors.
Linux Distro:
- Shoot for a single distro that caters to folks who are new. I usually go for Linux Mint, but go with what you like. Focus on ease of use and familiarity for folks who arent used to Linux or various Desktop Environments.
Waivers & Backups:
- Everyone should sign a waiver. You keep the signed waiver. They can have a copy of the waiver
- Explain that while you and other volunteers will make your best attempt to install Linux, you make no guarantees. You may brick their machine accidentally. And no files that were on the harddrive will remain. Everything will be deleted.
- They should make backups of their files before you start the install process (either online/cloud, or local on a USB)
- Some folks want you to try for a dual-boot, but thats up to you if you want to offer it. Still let them know that you might brick the machine even (especially?) if you try for a dual boot install.
- Example Waiver: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Installfest-HOWTO/legalprotection.html
Advertisements:
- Create a simple brochure website and fliers with info and time and date
- Use words like "Update to a modern, private, and fast operating system. No monthly subscription. No cost. Volunteers will install for you." Appeal to folks whose laptops cant upgrade. "Can't install Windows 11 or 12? Don't throw your laptop away, install Linux. It's free, up to date, and secure" Etc etc.
- Use your town's local social media (eg Town Subreddit, Online/Offline Classifieds, Library Announcements, Town Events Page)
- Post fliers in various coffee shops, libraries, bars, restrooms, and community centers
- Tell other similar groups (hacker spaces, maker spaces, linux groups, etc) both to spread the word and get volunteers
- Word of Mouth: Just tell everyone you run into. And tell them to tell everyone they know.
What to bring:
- Multiple install media/USBs with your Distro on it to install on the laptops
- A couple "Demo Laptops" with your distro of choice installed for people to try out (install games, office suites, common programs for folks to try it out - aim for what people use so various browsers including Firefox and Chrome, Zoom / Teams, LibreOffice, MS Office on browser, browser games, desktop games, etc)
- Your own laptops to do internet lookups and specialized downloads (weird stuff happens - its good to be prepared)
- Extension cables and power strips
- Cheap USBs for last minute backups prior to installation that folks can take home with them
- Some screwdrivers or tools to open up laptops for light repair if you like
What to do:
- Greet folks as they come in and invite them to try out the demos
- Encourage questions and discussions (AVOID DISTRO FLAME WARS OR WHICH WINDOWS MANAGER BEATS WHAT DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT FOR FUCKS SAKE! THESE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE DONT SCARE THEM AWAY WITH YOUR NERD SHIT!!!!)
- If folks brought laptops for installation explain and have them sign their waivers, make sure they know all files will be deleted, ask if they've made backups, and then install!
- Help folks troubleshoot issues or install programs for those that already have Linux installed and need community support
That's it. Make it a regular occurrence and you'll get folks coming in for fresh installs monthly and to ask for help with previous installs. Also a really chill way to meet other folks and have a lovely afternoon.
If you have any questions, post up in this thread.
If you have any suggestions or tips and tricks that have worked at your own Linux Install Party, share with us as well!

It became a topic of conversation last night at the #manchester #Velodrome because of the cranks I put on it (short, square taper) but it clearly worked with him winning all the sprints and finishing joint 1st in the points race.
Looking forward to Newport this weekend!
Thanks 
@pop_os_officialPop!_OS 
for resetting every single UI setting and configuration with the 24.02 update. Definitely the way I want to spend my morning, setting my computer back to the way I had it.
Unreasonable complaining on my part is unreasonable. Don't execute a major OS update before you've had your coffee.

one silver lining from COVID is normalisation of having an "I'm sick, leave the stuff on the doorstep and call me for the pickup code" option in food delivery apps. last thing I want is to give a gig economy worker this awful cold and leave them out of pocket or forced to spread it themselves for lack of viable alternatives.

When you try to get rid of LGPL, but LLMs generate no copyrightable works and you have accidentally gone from LGPL to Public Domain (and then you slap a license on it which you couldn’t do in the first place).
It's so interesting watching Apple's Foundation Models evolve. It still really likes to use tools when they are available, but having extra insight into the context window is really helpful ✨ (Also the guardrails are getting better at last!)
the MacBook Neo should be a giant wake up call for Microsoft to improve Windows 11. Apple’s MacBooks have always largely been premium devices, but the $599 Neo is firmly in the core part of the Windows OEM market. This is a red alert for Microsoft, Lenovo, Dell, HP, and others
I’ve been wanting to play this game for a while, heard great things, but I need to ship a new Loops app release and the new Pixelfed UI first!

"Da die Bekanntmachung der Kundgebung nicht nur über Social Media und Mundpropaganda erfolgen wird, sondern auch Plakate und Flugblätter gedruckt werden, ersuche ich um finanzielle Unterstützung. Davon werden auch die Unkosten […]"
Hah, Apple are clearly VERY wary of cannibalising their existing Mac models with this new MacBook Neo. No sign of their usual upgrade pricing - it maxes out at 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.
This is not a technical limitation: the iPhone 16 Pro, which shipped with the same A18Pro SoC had an option for 1TB storage; similarly, I very much doubt there's anything blocking the use of the 96Gb or 128Gb LPDDR5X DRAM chip (12GB or 16GB) that are used in the 24GB and 32GB models of M4/M5 Macs.

I'm Blake — reintroducing myself as I'm back on the timeline.
I'm a Cloud Engineer working in Site Reliability and DevOps in the healthcare industry. I design and build highly scalable, resilient infrastructure that powers modern healthcare systems. Day-to-day I work with .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript to deliver reliable platforms.
Outside of work, I build with Go — creating tools that prioritize performance, privacy, and user empowerment.
A couple things I'm working on:
RideAware — A cycling training platform for building structured training plans, analyzing ride data, and completing indoor workouts all in one place.
Arcline Hosting — A self-hosted web hosting service for people who want to know exactly where their data lives. It runs on hardware I own and operate — no AWS, no Cloudflare, no third-party CDN. Shared, WordPress, and VPS plans with personal ticket and email support.
My core interests span SRE, cloud infrastructure, DevOps/automation, and network engineering. I spend a lot of time with Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and enjoy digging into routing, firewalls, and secure network design.
I'm here because I care about privacy, self-hosting, and building things that give people more control over their own data. Good to be back — looking forward to reconnecting with this community.
