Welcome to the largest day of peaceful protest we’ve ever seen in our lifetimes.
Today, we’re going to speak out on a grander scale than Trump has ever seen. No Kings Day is going to be big, loud, boisterous, and joyful. Find your local event and let’s make history: nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE #NoKings

I've been busy the past few days filming journalistic materials. [Below are some of the photos I took for a report]
Photos of some young men who returned to check on their destroyed homes after the IDF withdrew.
By the way, the last donation was two days ago. Please donate so we can reach the goal. I am a independent journalist trying to rebuild my life after the war. There isn't much left

I keep getting pushback on this but I'm gonna to keep saying it: We're NEVER going to free people from the clutches of Big Tech until we realize & respect that most computer users by far aren't actually computer users.
They don't give a shit about computers. They don't want to see a single line of code, ever.
They don't care about customization, "distros" or versions. They don't care about GUIs or desktop environments.
They just want to get to what they're doing; work or play.

@jwcph@helvede.netMost of those users don't care about ideology or politics either. People usually choose what's easiest over what's best.
Friction matters. If there's one thing that matters in technologhy, it's friction. Entire industries have been created because of friction, or sometimes the lack thereof. One of the best tools to combat friction is throwing a lot of expensive non-developers at the problem, another is invasive analytics, user tracking and metrics-driven development. Open source developers generally don't have access to either, which automatically puts them at a serious disadvantage. This is a lesson that hasn't yet been sufficiently internalized by the OSS community.
There are problems that can only be solved with scale, centralization and analytics. There are other problems where those are much less of an advantage. Most OSS advocates don't have a deep enough understanding of the tech to understand which is which, and that's important for figuring out where the easy wins are.
OSS operates in "berserker" mode, we tend to focus on the next battle ahead above all else, even if that means losing the war. That also needs to change.
We had an amazing after show gathering with the activists from @hackstub after a successful last evening of the #MatrixConf2025. It was an interesting exchange, we learned a lot about your work and it was super pleasant to network with other hackers sharing our vision and values we bear as the ecosystem.
Now time to catch some sleep before rocking the last conference day.
Good night & see you tomorrow !

Petition **e-6838** 📢 has fewer signatures, but focuses directly on the privacy aspect of Bill C-2, and petitions for withdrawal of the entire bill. (And is clearer & better written.)

Each ivory rose glistened sweetly in the twilight, each petal as perfect as porcelain.
Little white butterflies flitted through the last strands of fading light, dancing on tender, tantalizing scents.
The Gardener packed up their gear, secretly smiling as a rival hid poorly behind the old oak, straightening the "Beware The Thorns" sign as they headed inside.
The next morning the blooms were exceptionally voluptuous, and for now, satiated.

After fixing some issues, migrating my #matrix media off #matrix-media-repo and onto #synapse was surpisingly straightforward.
I've written a short step-by-step list on what to do and put it here for now:

If you still think AI is useless for software because it does nothing but generate random lies, you should read this article by one of the maintainers of Curl.
“The [400!] issues are of high quality and even the ones we dismiss often have some insights and the rate of obvious false positive has remained low and quite manageable. Every bug we find and fix makes curl better. Every fix improves a software that impacts and empowers a huge portion of the world.”
Note that the progress in the AI tooling in this case seems to have appeared only in the last few weeks. Your own evaluation might be out of date.
And if you still think that AI tooling for software development is a silly fad that will soon be forgotten—it won't.

The dream of safe C/C++ code is here.
I have been following this development, and I am in awe at how much has been achieved, now available as a package:

TIL that Rochester NY had a subway rapid transit that closed after less than 28 years of operation.
Large sections of it became highways. I'm sure they all pay a fare to use it....

they also briefly had a fast ferry to Toronto! we're all still angry that it got cancelled

Crazy to think that 5 years in, some people still think “asymptomatic = not contagious.”
It’s been known since early 2020 that people without symptoms can spread COVID very efficiently.🦠😷
