Apple Newsroom (September 2025)
@rileytestut But gambling apps, we’re totally ok with that.
Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI generated and the code doesn't do any of the core parts of matrix that make it secure and interoperable. Instead it's littered with 'TODO: Check authorisation' and similar

@spontaneouslydeliberate @MichaelOpal @pluralistic I am perpetually infuriated that we have so much more CPU, RAM, and bandwidth than 10-15 years ago and the user experience is no better, arguably worse. It's bloated frameworks and spyware all the way down ...
Sain luvan tehdä Hämeen Vasemmistolle Mastodon tilin!
Oisko ideoita mitä servu ois paras vaihtoehto? En usko, että jaksan alkaa hostaa omaa servua.
Varmaan kallistun mementomori.social. Siellä on esim. Piraattipuolue. EOP on mastodon.social, mut en usko, et se on hyvä vaihtoehto. Onks muita puolueita tääl/ideoita servulle? sauna.social ja piipitin.fi varmaan muut suomalaiset vaihtoehdot.
Pixelfedeistä suomiservuja varmaan ainoastaan pixl.fi, jos sitä harkitsee myös.
the last thing i want is for godot to feel like some Serious Software

@jamey Looks great! Do you apply this at home or do you have to go to a nail bar for it?
@wim_v12e I go to a professional, yeah. I've gotten to learn so much that way about the incredible materials and techniques that nail artists have invented!
Does anyone know anything about free open code software for hearing aids?
Is there any open software for changing the controls of hearing aids without needing an appointment with an audiologist?
I get so angry everytime I think about it. After buying something so simple at such an exaggerated cost, I still can't control my everyday hearing. I need around six appointments before the hearing aids stop hurting me every day.
I’m too cold to do anything properly. Should I invest in a kotatsu?
@farah yes, definitely! don't have any experience with a kotatsu, but like the concept.
If you write about the messy reality behind "free" internet services: we're seeing #OpenStreetMap hammered by scrapers hiding behind residential proxy/embedded-SDK networks. We're a volunteer-run service and the costs are real. We'd love to talk to a journalist about what we're seeing + how we're responding. #AI #Bots #Abuse
Last month I helped release the Resonant Computing manifesto. Now I want to explain why ATproto should be seen as a key component for resonant computing. It helps enable the various principles of resonant computing, and it's helpful for people to understand that...

This piece leans heavily on inspiring writing from others, mainly @danabra.mov@bsky.brid.gy, @tynanpurdy.com@bsky.brid.gy and @pfrazee.com@bsky.brid.gy. But I really want people to understand how revolutionary atproto can be... It's a rethinking of some fundamental parts of the internet, and more people should understand that.

Nouveau billet sur le Standblog : Comment l'IA bouleverse le logiciel libre (et ses communautés au passage) avec l'exemple de Ponos-Jobs.eu — https://standblog.org/blog/post/2026/01/27/Comment-l-IA-bouleverse-le-logiciel-Libre
@nitot intéressant mais le raisonnement inverse s'applique aussi et j'ai eu le cas cette semaine.
J'avais besoin de quelque chose de très spécifique un plugin pour un plugin.
Je trouve ce que je cherche mais le dépôt est à l'abandon depuis 3-4 ans, incompatible avec le plugin parent qui a évolué.
Grâce à l'IA j'ai pu le forker, l'adapter au code actuel, y faire les modifs dont j'avais besoin et le proposer sur un nouveau repo.
Bilan 1 journée de taf là ou j'aurais sûrement abandonné avant...
Open source alternative to Slack: Mattermost? Element? Matrix?? Zulip? Ideas??
@skinnylatte My experience with Element/Matrix was big suck. I don't know about the others.
I'm still suspicious.
@lowqualityfacts Every other day there is a kid in the US who shoots somebody by accident. So, Sean Penn could still be the killer.
@aral That guy is always causing problems. You should fire him and give his job to future-Aral. At least he's never committed anything broken.
@woe2you I know, right, what a dickhead :)
I recently had a minor mental breakdown. I had to cancel some commitments, and withdraw from the world. Isolation is a defense mechanism familiar to many survivors of trauma. But this recent meltdown felt different from past trauma responses. In this essay, Joan Westenberg offers a likely explanation for the difference. In short, I have been DDOSing myself.

@pumiquxt thank you for sharing this article. I found it a very interesting read. Plenty to consider in it.
@aral , Dear Aral, the video call scheduled for today has been postponed. Could you please tell me the reason for the postponement?
@louayaziz Hi there,
I’m afraid we had to postpone the calls this week as Joy was not available. She is in Gaza and started an internship for her school.
We now have Aya helping out starting on Friday so there will not be any further delays.
Apologies but we’re just a handful of volunteers, some of us in Gaza, trying to do our best :)

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.
https://accessibilityforeveryone.site
The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.
