We’re painting our banister piebald to match this new finial for #Caturday.
(Those stair treads are goin’. I promise.)
Centralisation makes abuse cheap. Decentralisation makes abuse expensive and cost-prohibitive. That's why the influencer business model doesn't really work in the #Fediverse. Here you can't buy sentiment. But many try (and waste money while trying, good ;)

"End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026." 
“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”
These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.
I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.

Heads up you code maintainers who take submissions from people, delete unicode characters. See this: https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/03/supply-chain-attack-using-invisible-code-hits-github-and-other-repositories/ Yes, people put back doors in code using unicode characters that don't show up on the screen. #infosec #foss #github

I wish Heathkit had survived to see the maker world that exploded. They were one of the fundamental seeds of what exists today.
権利を要求するとは、つねに国家に向かって語ることである。人権は、その普遍的、脱国家的な外観にもかかわらず、実際には国家による承認、保証なしには空虚な形式にとどまる。したがって人権の主張は、それを侵害している当の権力装置を不可避的に再強化する構造を内包している。それが厄介。

왜 진작 열심히 하지 않았지 . . .
list of things i will critisize you for:
* using degenai
* using cloudflare
* using any sort of analytics
* using js in evil ways
* making webapps
* not caring about who made your software
* being against change, even if it's good because "it already works"
* trusting [insert large entity] with your important stuff
* not caring about ethics

After years of growing Bluesky into what it is today, I now have space to go deep on what comes next. I personally recruited Toni to take the reins so I could go back to building something new, and his first week here has only validated that choice.

«The 49MB Web Page» is a great summary of all that's wrong with much of the web along explanations of how we ended up there due to commercial ad incentives.
All right, big news (for the 10 people interested on this lol). Now 
@fediprofile supports #gotosocial!
And if you are insightful, you would also see that I created a gotosocial account for @fediprofile which I am hosting.
If you have a gotosocial and wants to help me test it, reach out in private for an invitation code and go to https://hub.vocalcat.com to create an account.
Too tired for pie. 😭
So finally, I went ahead and started a new #fediverse instance for real, like serious this time lol no debug
This is a personal one for my projects, and I decided to use #gotosocial. So far has been simple and good.

「工作的意義」裡提到，一個狩獵部落為了不讓人因為打到獵物就變得很驕傲、地位很高，大家會故意吐槽獵人，說獵物也沒多好，還把功勞算到比如做箭的人身上... 反正就是想辦法把個人的風頭壓一壓，這樣群體的關係會更平，甚至讓弱勢人物，例如老人、身障人士，也有機會因此獲得矚目。這... 如果長期打到獵物的都是同幾個人，多少也會心有不甘吧...
