"30 Years of Section 230: Why We Still Need It for a Safer Internet" by @person at @internetsociety https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2026/02/30-years-of-section-230-why-we-still-need-it-for-a-safer-internet/
@noize Ik ken Stoas niet. Wel Matrix. Maar of dat zo geschikt is voor de gaming community weet ik niet.
I see it's once again time to post this: https://taggart-tech.com/discord-alternatives
Feeling overwhelmed by all the things I need to fight this morning before a 6 hour drive across the north island of NZ for my next talk in New Plymouth. Luckily, there are a lot of really awesome astronomers who are also fighting!
...But not nearly enough, and we don't have any actual power. So, back to writing, because that's my only weapon in this fight.
And just to make myself feel better: sending a big "fuck you" to SpaceX and Reflect Orbital in particular for their sky-destroying plans
@sundogplanets OMG, I hope you get to see the top of Taranaki! Also, Pukekura Park is gorgeous and well worth a visit.
@mttaggart this is fantastic!
I've had excellent experience with Discourse but haven't been part of one that has enabled chat. Have you had a chance to try it?
@shom I have. It's functional, but I wouldn't call it a first-class citizen yet. And as noted elsewhere E2EE is not a feature, so be aware of that.
Mon fils de 22 ans cherche un stage de fin d'études.
En région parisienne.
D'une durée de 4 à 6 mois.
Qui débuterait vers avril/mai/juin.
C'est pour valider un bac+5 master 2 en informatique, plutôt axé développement et base de données.
C'est vraiment un bon gars.
Si vous avez une idée, dites moi et je lui transmettrai
Si vous n'avez pas d'idée, boostez ce message s'il vous plait :)

Autodesk Takes Google To Court Over AI Movie Software Named 'Flow' https://tech.slashdot.org/story/26/02/09/1742213/autodesk-takes-google-to-court-over-ai-movie-software-named-flow?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon
This is clearly something that ought to be resolved in Thunderdome.
XMPP doesn't need face scan
IRC doesn't need face scan
Matrix doesn't need face scan
If those bills pass, all MUST and WILL need

Let's imagine I have like 2 or 3 reasons to be using discord today, and I'm trying to move them to something else in the next few weeks because I don't intend to give discord my ID.
The other comparable monolithic option appears to be Zulip, which is fine, as far as it goes. But are there good federated options? People are going to have to migrate to another platform, meaning they will have to bootstrap their identity and social connections all over again. It would be great if this was the last time they had to do that
(I'm aware of matrix, matrix is a bad option. I want good options)
@jenniferplusplus I'm already "scheduled for self destruct soon", so my face is safe.
@woolie How difficult are the guitar parts of Soliloquy? They sound incredible and complex.
Not sure about "cold shower" but these seem like intuitive fixes...

@infobeautiful
This is mostly feel-good nonsense, but fwiw cold showers have indeed been shown to help with depression. So if that one is a reliable fix for "laziness" for you, it might be worth reviewing the diagnostic criteria, to see if you should talk to a professional.
Neofeud 2 is a #retro 90's-style game where an ex-robo-marine and a rebel hacker struggle against an empire on its last legs. Get Neofeud 1 & help me finish #2 (pictured)! https://store.steampowered.com/app/673850/Neofeud/

@kimcrawley @davidgerard Honestly, this is so heckin sad.
I remember when O'Reilly was the best shop for programming books ever. You could buy them DRM-free on their store. Now all they sell is a subscription (and an occasional Humble Bundle).
@art_codesmith @kimcrawley we had a subscription at work and it was useful, but yeah

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out
every time i am funny on the internet i regret it
@rose_alibi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Note to #fedi that #Catodon is being relaunched but is being built via #LLM because Panos believes being poor means he shouldn't be shamed for using a tool he acknowledges is extremely harmful. He also thinks that because airplanes are bad for the environment it's fine to use #AI
People need to be aware that the relaunched Catadon is both unsafe and unethical. Panos has also claimed that it's "elitist" to criticize LLM usage.
