A dark image. The background is unclear and blurry. On the foreground on the left there is a huge circle, inside of which a profile picture belonging to @NorcalGma2@sfba.social. On the other side, a bit lower in the frame we see a fediverse logo, but on fire. This is the logo of the Fireside Fedi show. In between those two elements a text is written. This text says:

“Once the site of an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II, Camp East Montana is made up of six long tents at the Fort Bliss Army base outside of El Paso”

“the facility holds around 3,000 detainees who are living in harsh conditions: They lack sufficient food and often go without proper medical care, according to AP’s review of 130 calls made to 911. Those calls took place in just about five months—from when the tents were quickly constructed”

I really love the mastodon.social server, but I do not understand why polls are limited to four options.

If I wanted to ask which German state do you love the most (16 options), or which member of Trump's cabinet will be fired next (26 options), why would the server then want to prevent this poll by limiting the choices to four options?

I really dislike this limitation.

Imagine the optics of letting go of everyone and your last remaining person working on critical infra goes on LinkedIn to say they had to talk to leadership and let them know why he can’t do his job without the people they let go, so they decide to re-hire these people

Imagine talking to people before you let go of everyone

The optics of talking about this so publicly also points to there being no trust of Block’s leadership by people who remain. I hope everyone who gets re-hired asks for at least 100% more money

Screenshot of an engineer at block saying he was the last remaining person working on critical infra for square and weebly and how he had to beg leadership to rehire some people

subpost

if you compare an upstream package starting to use a new dependency (Rust) with someone hitting you over and over, you need to quit. seriously.

the Linux distribution model of software distribution is outdated and I find it more of an obstacle to overcome than a contributor to my life. it needs to be either improved or replaced. if you can't do either of that, I'm okay with you doing absolutely nothing

Statues Come Alive (12 Photos)

STREET ART UTOPIA @streetartutopia@streetartutopia.com

Some statues are made to be admired from a distance. The best ones practically dare you to jump into the scene. From a superhero showdown in Guadalajara to a giant troll bridge in Wyoming, these playful works prove public sculpture gets even better when people become part of it. Here are 12 brilliant works that fit “Playing With Statues” perfectly — including 4 picks from StreetArtUtopia’s Street Artists archive! 🪢 The Infinite Tug-of-War — Counterpoint in Salt Lake City, Utah […]

전에 한 번 언급했지만 ‘인스타그램에 해시태그 달아서 포스팅하면 음료 하나 제공‘도 엄밀하게는 뇌물이고 여론 조작입니다. 너무 이런 것에 대해 경각심이 없죠.

This blog post recently crossed my timeline. blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2026/0 It talks about burnout among FOSS maintainers, which is an important subject.

It saddens me, though, that the author called out Rust alongside generative AI as a contributor to their own burnout as a distro maintainer, going back to the Python cryptography package's adoption of Rust in 2021. Is there anything that we who use and promote Rust can do about this, or is Rust just too at odds with the norms of Linux distros?

오늘 외출에서 독일생활 내내 희미하게 존재를 알고 있었지만 무엇인지 찾아볼 생각은 하지 않았던 Kegelbahn 경기를 우연하게 지켜볼 수 있었다. 할머니 할아버지들이 모여서 왁자지껄하게 취미활동을 하는 것도 보기가 좋았고, 넋을 놓고 구경하는 어린이들을 잠시 불러다가 어떻게 하는 놀이인지 강의를 해주는 상냥함도 보기가 좋았고, 핀을 다 넘어뜨렸을 때 두 팔을 벌리고 환호하는 에너지도 생생하게 느낄 수 있었다. 케겔 운동이랑은 아무 상관도 없는 거더라.

中国のAIモデルに見られる“自己検閲”とは何か? 研究で見えてきたその実態

WIRED.jp @wired.jp@web.brid.gy

中国のAIモデルは、米国のモデルよりも政治的な質問を避けたり、不正確な回答をしたりする傾向が強いことが研究で示された。同時に、その“検閲”がどのような仕組みで生じているのかを解明することの難しさも浮き彫りになった。
