Now that the reviews are out (I don’t have one but am considering a pink one as a pure thin client) I think the only MacBook Neo most people should get is the base config. At $600 ($500 for students), that seems fair and it makes the right trade-offs. 🧵

We would like to congratulate 
@LukewLuke on being appointed by the W3C TAG as an Associate! The Associate program (https://tag.w3.org/associates/) was launched a little over a year ago with the goal of helping to extend the TAG's ability to review and influence work.

Very curious if others have memories of a service in the 80's called Portal. I recall using it in a few ways, one of which was UseNet and UUCP access. The host in this context was cup.portal.com (Cupertino, perhaps?) and appears in historical posts as "sun!portal!cup.portal.com!"
I'm also seeking history on "tronsbox", a host I used to relay for my Amiga-based, dial-up UUCP node: "uunet!tronsbox!alpine!"
Please relay to more relevant hashtags, too!

Legal vs. Legitimate, good article by 
@hongminhee洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) 
> Whatever courts eventually decide about AI reimplementation, the question we need to answer first is not a legal one. It is a social one. Do those who take from the commons owe something back? I think they do. That judgment does not require a verdict
"Can the commons expect something back from those who extract value?" is a key question of Social experience design. The answer forms one of 3 core principles: The Mindfulness principle.
No. You can't expect *anything* back. That philosophical insight is crucial to organizing a healthy commons that's able to retain its value and evolve.
Paint any principles and values on a flag but as long as the battle is scattered farmers holding feeble Copyright Law pitchforks against a vast drone army, its no use. Know thy enemy helps too. It's not proprietary code or corporations. It's hypercapitalism: The Rules of Battle.

My friends, as it is Superb Owl day, I would like to show a more recent picture of Baked Beans, taken back in January. He now has his adult plumage and is quite majestic, particularly since he's all sticky-uppy. He was being taken past the gorilla play room and did not like the gorillas.

LOOK AT THIS OWL! HE IS SO UPSETTY!!!
There are 2 baby penguins who are staying in a pen in the hall. They're also going to be ambassador birds, so all the keepers are encouraged to pick them up and cuddle them multiple times a day to get them used to people.
BEANS DOES NOT LIKE THE BABY PENGUINS.

Impossible to predict says only industry where this is now starting to happen regularly.
I’ve had some questions about why a few of my Fediverse related projects are down.
Some of my Fediverse projects were developed just by me. While with others I worked with others — with friends.
Some of those friends live in cities that are having bombs dropped on them right now.
We split up our server management (including the costs). Some I managed and paid for. Some a friend did.
The ones he did are down.
I am working on bringing some of them back up.
But, we didn't plan for this. We didn't make things "bus proof" (as some call it).
So, it will take some effort and time to address this.

The TAG is pleased to appoint our first 3 associates of 2026: Ehsan Toreini (Samsung), Dan Clark (Microsoft) and Luke Warlow (Igalia). Thank you for your willingness to share your expertise. We’re looking forward to working with you!
Okay cool, we’ve been trialling a EU hoster to move away from DigitalOcean eventually, and found one that had a really nice ARM VPS offering that is now just sold out with support saying they don’t know when they will be in stock again and they don’t even know how they can be made available again at all.
I was gonna commit to possibly spending quite a bit there, but without confidence in scale-out planning, that’s not gonna happen.
Thanks for nothing “AI”-bubble 😡

This album by Craven Faults popped up in my Mastodon stream the other day so I gave it a listen. Oh wow do I love this. Make me wonder why I ever bothered with all that tunes and melody nonsense. This is actually what I want - crave in fact.

There is a lot happening on the project right now, especially in the lead up to 4.6. We're also now part of the Social Web Working Group at the W3C. As usual, many moving parts to coordinate. I'm always excited to see the team's progress as we pull together our monthly update for the community.

Listening to @404media.co@bsky.brid.gy talk about how insanely huge @roblox.com@bsky.brid.gy is as a social network in their latest podcast. I had no idea. Makes me remember that it might be useful to think of bluesky or the fediverse in terms more like MMOs or whatever that acronym is
Shitpost projects, where someone takes an objectively terrible idea and puts way too much effort into executing it well, don't hit the same when we're all drowning in slop.
Did they put any effort into it? Do they realize it was a terrible idea?
Impossible to tell.
Poe's law comes for us all.
Random thought.
If public libraries didn't already exist, capitalism wouldn't let you invent it. Can you imagine how many billions Jeff Bezos would plough into fighting the idea, destroying any politician who dared to back it?

New, by me: How AI Assistants are Moving the Security Goalposts
AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey.
