We might be on to something here~

🏮 Tonight we hosted the Demo Night Market! 🏮

Many makers demoed their decentralised tech stack tools.

Participants needed no code skills, just ready-to-test tech and real conversations with those who conceived it.

Every project was not about potential, remote, and abstract futures, but rather about the distributed tech we need HERE and NOW.

Fair enough. The primary process is how we determine the future of the Democratic Party. At present there is a battle royale between progressives who want things like universal health care, workers rights and standing up to fascism and corporate centrists who are in the clutches of AI and crypto industries. The people are overwhelmingly behind the progressives, so efforts to disenfranchise the voters matter both in the primaries and tge future general election.

The open web is one of humanity's best ideas. Keeping it open is up to all of us.

Code for the People, a new documentary short from director Bao Nguyen, tells the human story of open source: the people who built the web, the walled gardens closing in on it, and what it takes to keep it free.

RANT AHEAD

I am miffed. We had a submission at Orbit that we went to great pains to review. It was extremely challenging to find readers. Our internal team read it, too.

It was through to acceptance. And then the author pulled out because their university demanded a Q1 or Q2 ranked journal.

I do not blame the author, here (although they could have checked this before submitting). I understand the pressure they are under (it was part of a portfolio for a doctorate by publication).

But WTF with this journal ranking nonsense? Appalling. It clearly induces a Matthew Effect because if institutions demand publication in Q1 and Q2 journals, and that is where all the quality material goes, then newer and outsider publications can never break into those quartiles.

Also, I believe this Q1/Q2 stuff is a SCOPUS fabrication. So if you use this, you're in bed with Elsevier.

@Nonilex Those of us who are older now so can remember pretty clearly that, since the end of WWII, being "anti-fascist" was something you didn't even think twice about and could take for granted that almost everyone was. If the 47 regime is so set on labeling anyone who challenges their criminal activities as "anti-fascist," it seems very clear that the regime is thereby declaring itself, quite openly, to be a fascist regime. One can hope, though likely in vain, that "reporters" will bring this up with the criminals in this regime and push them to answer this.

Polls can now be created in individual chats too. Show a curated list of choices to your indecisive friend or recapture the magic of passing a note to your crush by sending a “Do you like me? Y/N/Maybe” poll.

An 18-year-old man from Tokyo's Katsushika Ward has been arrested for his suspected involvement in a cyberattack on the operator of the Kaikatsu Club internet cafe chain, investigative sources have said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/09/japan/crime-legal/japan-teen-arrest-cyberattack-internet-cafe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #cybersecurity #chatgpt #internet #hacking

Hey so I nearly flunked bio-stats and epidemiology in college and I don't have the programs necessary to open these files. Would anyone be able to take the data on this on this page, run it, and see if there's actual statistical significance in the data that would back up the claims in this guy's substack article? Can't find anything in the visualized data either.

- Messi y la Albiceleste, punto de lanza para expansión de la FIFA

Lionel Messi y Cristiano Ronaldo son los dos jugadores con mayor impacto mediático en las dos décadas recientes. La diferencia es que La Pulga ha ganado una Copa del Mundo, su selección tiene más seguidores y es un imán para ingresar a los mercados de China e India, aún alejados de la cultura futbolística. Ese potencial también levanta sospechas de un supuesto interés para beneficiar a la Albiceleste en el Mundial 2026.

Yes, the #ChatControl vote today was a farce. BUT. End to end encrypted messages are excluded from scanning through an amendment. So #UseSignal or other secure E2E solutions, as you should anyway.
