I've received 5 VC offers "to chat" regarding Pixelfed in the past few days.
Not for sale.
Pixelfed belongs to the people.
I'd rather be broke and true to my beliefs, than sell out.
That's why I'm organizing a Kickstarter to fund the ethical development of Pixelfed, Loops and more.
It's time that someone stood up to them, instead of joining them.
Are you with me?

@Friendica Support Why is it (bug or feature 
) that I frequently have a difference in the number of comments indicated by the symbol and the text version:
The bubble symbol tells me 46 comments, but the expand text "116 comments". I would expect the same numbers here just like it is the case for reshared count?
I first thought my instance would not know the other comments, but since the higher number is the total amount of actual comments which are SHOWN, this theory seems wrong

This will bring more life to older Pebble watches and perhaps new watches powered by it in the future. Credit where credit is due I guess.

What's interesting about algorithms?
The challenge of doing X with as few resources as possible (memory, etc).
What do OpenAI + friends do? The opposite.
"Lets assume we have unlimited resources & try to build a god."
No wonder they're losing their shit with the DeepSeek thing.
Addendum: whether DeepSeek or OpenAI, there's no such thing as AGI & attempting to build it results in harm: firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/….
Don't make this into a "US vs China US has to win on AGI" thing please 🙄

Máme v kanceláři kanál s fotografiemi, kam posíláme obrázky.
V pátek jsem posílal fotky z běžek, ať si kolegové v kanceláři taky užijou. Až večer jsem si ale uvědomil, že dneska jsem kolegům zapomněl poslat fotky z čekárny na chirurgii.
@sesivany Nedal si pozor v lese, lyže zastavily na kořenu a Věroš pokračoval dál.

I totally missed the new @mixxx 2.5.0 release in december, I'm so happy mappings can have their own settings now instead of fiddling inside code file, and I've added the new settings UI to my Pioneer DDJ SX2 Mapping ! As well as a new setting. Not perfect, but it works and I can always iterate on it!

Hello! I'm Elena Rossini, an Italian filmmaker, photographer and FOSS advocate based in Paris, France.

So I had some idle thoughts about Paranoia again lately, which kind of fits into the global zeitgeist.
I mean the roleplaying game of course, although who's to say really?
The game has gone through a few editions over time, and I feel it has risen to thematic relevance again in a way I didn't think possible ten years ago. 1/?

A post from the developer of WireGuard on the severe security flaws and lack of trustworthiness of F-Droid:
gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-…
This led to them including a self-update system which was openly implemented and documented. F-Droid was unaware they'd shipped it for half a year, and by then WireGuard had essentially escaped from in their words being held hostage by F-Droid.
This was a rare case where an app used developer signing keys via their flawed reproducible builds system. Most don't.
Per https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Inclusion_Policy/ The software must not download additional executable binary files (e.g. addons, auto-updates, etc.) without explicit user consent....GitLab
@accrescent Sounds great. I am looking forward to it. Thanks for #Accrescent and contributing to the #FLOSS community. I greatly appreciate that.
Adding an info whether an app is FLOSS is helpful.
@jscholes Can't speak for Canada, but the way those work here is that there is a second factor, but people still fall for it.
You enter your credentials on the fake website, the fake website immediately forwards them to your bank and orders a transfer, just with a different amount and recipient. You'll see the new, suspicious data in your app / text message, but most people don't check and just click "approve."
They most likely have a website that lets you pay somebody by online bank transfer. The way these work is that you pick your bank, are redirected to their site, log in there and have the details filled in automatically. This is a lot easier (and often a lot quicker) than the traditional way.
The way this scam works is that you get a website that looks just like the real one, but it never redirects you to your bank, capturing your login credentials instead.
