I just stumbled upon the "charging optimization" setting to limit charging to 80% in #GrapheneOS 😍

@hongminhee I'm reading this thread as a relative noob, but what I see again and again: almost no one "properly" implents #ActivityPub largely because #JSONLD is hard but also because the spec itself is unclear. Most people who get stuff done have to go off-spec to actually ship.
This seems a fundamental weakness of the #fediverse - and that disregarding the limitations coming from base architecture. Seems to pose a mid/long-term existential threat.
What can we do to help improve things?

I used to hitchhike a lot. Had a bunch of wild chats with different people. Met some pretty nasty opinions. But usually not, and it was somehow always overall good. (Note: I was never assaulted, I know multiple women that were.)
I still feel pretty socially open, but I think I was really trained then. It's much harder to hold models of real people than of simplified straw people.
Saw this slide in a fosdem talk https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/GNKEPR-burnout_in_open_source_a_structural_problem_we_can_fix_together/ and immediately thought of the "with great power comes great responsibility" spiderman thing.
It sums up why I generally think it isn't desirable or possible to have orgs where all members have the same power/autonomy: I am a member of way too many orgs to take top-level responsibility in all of them!
This is genius and hilarious
"in a world looming with the threat of ai stealing your job, save humanity by stealing ai's job."
I think my favorite thing about German is the abundance of "syllabic contractions"
e.g. Solawi ⬅️ Solidarisches Landwirtschaft (solidarity agriculture)
I feel it's way more common in English to make "letter acronyms"
e.g. CSA ⬅️ Community Supported Agriculture
The German approach makes it much easier to have "nice" new words.

@cy @resl@mas.to there's a citizens initiative in Berlin (which is a "city-state" with some devolved powers) to pass a "socialization" law that would leverage dispossession powers outlined in the constitution https://dwenteignen.de/en/aktuelles/stand-der-kampagne fingers crossed it goes through

@relistan I don't know... Printing press released religious war in Europe, radio arguably enabled fascism... One person's "panic" is another's "reasonable concern".
I mean the fact that we're kind of having cold war 2/WW III + continued biocide does not support the argument these developments were unproblematic. @JamesBaker @lkanies

@adamgreenfield@social.coop ugh. Are the people doing this getting the feedback directly? (I try to when I see it.) Because the people most likely to be dishing out tech criticism are the least likely to infer social criticism from my experience.

@resl i'm reading silicon empires right now. Apparently the new data center push in the states is being referred to as the new Manhattan Project....

@UlrikeHahn farewell reddit anon 😢
Interesting world we're coming too, where anything published online will likely be preserved for ever and quite possibly identifiable to author.
Most people will still remain anonymous by sheer volume of content, but politicians, etc will likely need to be trained from adolescence to keep squeaky clean record...
"feedback" implies "feedforth"

@mactunag amazing! A story worth telling in more detail I'd say, considering how big a turn around that is.
Hightlights for me how careful people need to be with 'militant' positions. You need to be really sure the person is an active enemy, because if they aren't you may make them become one, when they could have become an ally.
Replying to
@resl yes, yes I have 😮💨
I've come to the point that if an activity does need everyone's participation, then I won't start unless that's the case 🤷 intersects with consent.
This _may_ mean having to exclude people who don't want to participate... but I see no other way.

@pvonhellermannn@mastodon.green hadn't really heard of Ashcroft before. Hope his numbers are good, bc his opinions...
there will always be people eager to believe we can fund the NHS by taxing the rich, that legalising drugs will make our streets safer ... wishful thinking

@resl my impression is that he was and is a good old socialist. I knew some people in momentum, the movement to try and get him to lead the party to victory - apparently he & team were really not up to date with tech stuff. I believe he did not take a clear stand on Brexit, which I think was a mistake.

@lechimp@mastodon.pub.solar @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @crew@mastodon.pub.solar love that they combine their IRL meetups with critical mass!

@relistan yes. And I thought your point, and my extension, was the panic/reasonable concern distinction being subjective? (And I know about the D&D satanic panic, and I do think that was panic. But I have a lot of concerns with internet / smartphones / social media)

@rosano I remember you telling me about Beau, and watching a bit of his stuff! Thanks for reminder.

@mpjgregoire indeed, I don't think it's completely useless. Just depends on the intentions going in. I've had some debates which did go a good way on fedi, and multiple times had political positions/outlooks expanded.

@pruef_de@mastodon.social Toll! Diese Kampagne scheint sehr gut durchdacht. Darf ich euch empfehlen, diesen Toot zu pinnen?

@the_roamer Seth's blog is really excellent, I've been meaning to go through it for a while.
Sadly, he's not in fedi... but I think not being on SM is part of what allows him to do what he does!
Say I wanted to make a kinetic light sculpture (I do) (Think CCC, see https://hansleser.de/)
Say that required turning something with ~5 KG of weight at about 1 rpm.
What tech would you use? Bonus points if I can salvage it somehow.
