@br00t4c Bill Gates is reading too many sci-fi
@jerome_herbinet Vieillotte ? xD
Pour moi Fossify c’est presque trop moderne à mon goût. Après je suis le genre de personne qui aime bien qu’une interface change pas, c’est pénible de devoir tout réapprendre toutes les 5 versions… ^^’
Mais ok.
@breizh concernant l'évolution de l'UI, il n'y a pas ou très peu de changements côté UX. C'est très majoritairement une modernisation des composants graphiques (formes, couleurs, etc) et ça s'arrête là pour 90-95% de l'interface. Donc a priori rien de disruptif pour vous.

I can't believe I posted that just after my surgery. I was super out of it. One week on, I am starting to feel like a human being again.
This week, I've learned something important: Naproxen is available over the counter. That stuff is gooooood.
If the report you're citing is the one I read a week or so ago, they bucketed 'fears about AI' into a single axis and didn't pull out rational fears from marketing-driven ones.
@david_chisnall it's linked, I still don't see where you're pulling this claim from. Do you have a quote?
Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media
rationalist tries to get head around dealing with actual professionals in a professional context. Also, fuck them donkeys.
the EAs have access to so much money that other orgs have to dance to their tune, and are discovering the professionals think the EAs are fucking nutters
the comments are darling also
@dgerard this is the first time I've looked at LessWrong... It's a parody, right? Surely.

@libreoffice you got me at "no built-in AI"
Just had a conversation regarding the dynamics of an international project I’m involved with in which a person said what amounted to “If I have to fly to {countryName}, then so be it”.
Just once in a while it would be nice to hear an earnest commitment to going about the thing *without flying*.
And given the project objectives, opposition to flying anywhere at the drop of a hat shouldn’t even need to be stated
…I didn’t state it. The it needing to be said but not saying it is emotionally draining.
It is the second such conversation this week

dommage que ce soit une vision très statique alors que la chronologie est vertigineuse surtout mise en récit avec talent dans "empire of ai"

"I understand being mad, I understand not tolerating it, but I think there's an uncomfortable truth, representing the world being a messy place where few things are completely black and white.”
— @matt_birchler: https://birchtree.me/blog/comfortable-and-uncomfortable-truths/
@marcoarment @matt_birchler the uncomfortable truth is that Twitter today represents the real world far better than any of the other platforms at this point. All of the things found on 𝕏 that “make people feel unsafe” can also be said about the Internet in general. Anything you can find on Twitter, you can find on the Internet. And no one has left the Internet since Paul Miller did it and then came back. The self-righteous posturing BS needs to stop. Focus on what makes us similar…not different.

La suite "Right" n'est pas une révolution, mais son UI est bien plus agréable que celle de Fossify, qui, si on est honnête, devient sacrément vieillotte... et plusieurs bugs rencontrés sur Fossify semblent corrigés côté Right.
Fossify n'est pas à l'abandon (je ne l'ai pas insinué), mais tourne en "service minimum" en termes de maintenance. Je ne leur jette pas la pierre : Goodwy a-t-il plus de ressources/temps, ou utilise-t-il de l'IA pour les dév. ? Aucune idée.
Je constate juste 🙂

La Resistenza Palestinese
Tra abbandono e supporto internazionale – talk
📍 Scambi Festival - Piazza San Costanzo, La Pigna, Sanremo
📅 29 agosto 2026 · ore 17.30
Cosa significa resistere sotto occupazione? E quale ruolo può avere chi, dall’esterno, sceglie di esserci?
Mentre a Gaza continua il genocidio e in Cisgiordania proseguono occupazione, violenza, demolizioni e sfollamenti forzati, vogliamo interrogarci sul significato della resistenza palestinese e sul ruolo della solidarietà internazionale.
Ne parleremo con Turaya Tulsi, operatrice umanitaria e attivista della campagna Faz3a per la protezione dei civili palestinesi, e Francesca Ghio, consigliera comunale di Genova.
Due prospettive per parlare di resistenza nonviolenta, presenza internazionale, colonialismo d’insediamento, intersezionalità delle lotte, neocolonialismo e disarmo, ma anche di come trasformare la solidarietà in azione politica e istituzionale.
Dall’esperienza di Genova alle iniziative locali, fino alla responsabilità di istituzioni nazionali ed europee: quanto può incidere ciò che facciamo qui?
La miriade di iniziative locali che prendono piede nelle città e nei comuni tradiscono la mancanza di una risposta altrettanto forte e autorevole a livello regionale, nazionale ed europeo.
La solidarietà internazionale non può limitarsi a osservare.
Deve diventare presenza, sostegno attivo, pressione politica e responsabilità.
Modera Vittorio Toesca, consigliere comunale di Sanremo, promotore, relatore e primo firmatario della mozione sul riconoscimento della Palestina.
Nel carosello alcune foto dalla campagna di raccolta olive 2025 e di presenza protettiva a cui ha partecipato Turaya.
Ingresso libero 🌱

Ihr kennt das Spiel: ich will in einem #Workshop Wissenschaftler:innen beibringen, was #Mastodon so kann. Wie immer die Reichweitenfrage. Könnt ihr das hier bitte mal eben Reposten? Ich lösche den Post morgen auch. Danke! #fediverse #advocacy
Quelle galère,
oui, il ne faut pas sous-estimer le trauma, même quand rien n'a été volé.
Plein de soutien !
@nartagnan on a une petite chance dans ce malheur c'est que ce week-end toute la famille est réunie pour le mariage de ma sœur ça fera du bien au moral et ça fera un peu relativiser les problèmes matériels !
Même si évidemment on ne sous-estime pas le trauma (et je vais aller passer l'aprem du dimanche avec mon Papa pour l'aider à finir de ranger avant de rentrer à Lyon...)
