What do you want us to work on in 2027?
Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development.
LWN says Nate Graham has backed off on the KDE pro-AI policy for the moment:
https://lwn.net/Articles/1096518/
> However, Martin warned that he was starting to see ""an increase of purely LLM-generated merge requests"" where it was clear that the description and code were entirely LLM-generated ""and the person that is submitting it doesn't really know what the patch does"". He said that it's ""not that many"" yet, but he felt that there was a need for an explicit AI policy so that maintainers had guidelines they could rely on and point potential contributors to. Nate Graham had started work on such a policy, but it appears that has been abandoned after the policy became a lightning rod for online criticism. Whether he, or another KDE contributor, will pick that up again is unclear.
I don't trust that the AI crew aren't just waiting for their next possible chance of course.

Vabbè dai... I viaggi nel tempo pian pianino stanno cominciando ad ingranare. Due anni nel futuro sono meglio di niente eh!
tragic comrades.
Today I would like to start a new Fedi praxis. I would like us to begin thanking, and a little bit even celebrating, Fedizens who have been especially helpful in ways that might not be visible here.
I'll start.
You all know @Shrigglepuss . They shitpost about their accidental sexiness and colorful jumpers - that one. Well, I am here to tell you that the very same Shrig is completely brilliant at helping kids build their own gaming rig. Like, really good: cool about pitching at the right level, respecting earnest research already done, making gentle suggestions of bits that would combine better, all that. And, when a Very Weird Problem with the SSD showed upeven pointing parent-and-child team in the right rather obscure direction. Being good with PC hardware is one skill; having the social grace to guide earnest idiots over a text chat is very much another.
Long may Shrig prosper!
Shig: distribute and clone live streams among Fediverse instances
Today I am mostly dealing with imposter syndrome
@TheBreadmonkey That toot doesn’t really sound like something you’d say
2 hours spent attempting to reproduce a security report that at first looked important, but turned out to be untrue. An incorrect API request in the report, and then when I got a correct one working, the supposed vulnerability didn't exist.
LLMs and CVE fishing expeditions can FUCK OFF
@Floppy so, how do you REALLY feel?
Welp, I think my Smart Watch just bugged itself to death.
I should go see a shrink to understand why I like taking pictures of the sky.
... doesn't everyone? 🧐

What's stopping you? Let's all do it! (you go first)
@jztusk @alisynthesis I was going to say “slave labor” but I’m afraid I might be wrong about that too, depending on definitions
@Cdespinosa @jztusk @alisynthesis
There are many countries with full-on exploitative practices that fit the definition of slavery.
In the developed world, skilled-worker visa schemes (H-1B in the US, but most industrialised nations have one like it) can be used to restrict the ability of certain people to move from one job to another.

Mañana estaremos en Sol #26S para conversar sobre #tecnopolitica #acampada y #redes.
📆 Viernes 9 de octubre
🕝 13:30
📍Carpa Greenpeace entrada c/ del Carmen
La calle es el espacio abierto, publico y libre por excelencia. Sus dinámicas ocultas y a veces impuestas pueden verse radicalmente expuestas cuando miles de personas deciden ir tomándola para acampar, vivir, estar. ¿Cuáles son en cambio las dinámicas de las plataformas y redes digitales? ¿Es posible pensar en hacer una acampada de la Red?
De la experimentación tecnopolítica del 15M a la necesidad de enmarcar los mensajes del 26S la disputa por el derecho a la comunicación sigue siendo una tarea pendiente de politización.
Este conversatorio busca crear un espacio de conversación y debate entre comunicadores, estudiantes, paseantes, y cualquier persona interesada en el diseño libre de plataformas y procesos comunicativos

I just asked ChatGPT "what is the most popular alternative to instagram?"
I can't believe Pixelfed is mentioned so prominently, like right along side TikTok!
You love to see it! (I know we hate AI, but people do use it for questions like these, and for a member of the fediverse to have such a prominent inclusion is the point)
I can't wait for the next surge of people, we're almost ready for the next million 🚀
"Meanwhile, the census’s proposed rule has no scientific justification or participation by federal agencies with experience in this area. And the little rationale the rule does provide does not withstand scrutiny."

@dansup ❤️
@dansup I did and it only bumped it to 2.0.1 released 6/15/25
@ailurocrat that is the latest version, but the date is incorrect, I don't know why.
Install that version, and you will see.
