Hi, we are new on #Mastodon, looking for some #Hardcore #Punk #DIY network off the well known corporate social networks. We are tired of their bullshit algorithms, ads and owners.

Give us a helping hand to start here. Follow us (and maybe share our profile), we follow back. Thank you!

The bitter red leafed chicory?

@TheBreadmonkey having watched the giant chunks of wax get flushed from my daughter’s ears at the doctor’s office… yeah, no, that shit ain’t coming out on its own.

Algorithms and AI have turned Gaza into a Laboratory of Death
https://www.juancole.com/2026/02/algorithms-turned-laboratory.html

"The Lavender case thus exposes the consolidation of a digital necropolitics. Algorithms decide who lives and who dies; corporations provide the infrastructure; intelligence services operate in the shadows; and technocratic language seeks to normalise the unacceptable. Gaza bleeds so that this model may be tested, refined, and then exported."

@byroncclark damn, that's me

@dansup I don’t understand why people here feel the need to diminish others’ work to boost their own. ActivityPub is great, but it still lacks things that AT Protocol is actively solving. Dorsey isn’t working on AT Protocol anymore, you already pointed that out. Instead of burning bridges, let’s build them and aim for a more connected ecosystem. If you spend 5 minutes reading what the people over there are saying and their roadmap you would realize they are an ally rather than an enemy!

So am I getting this right? The guy who vibecoded an insecure, expensive, worse version of IFTTT with delusions of grandeur ("OpenClaw") is now claiming that he'll solve the problem of "prompt injections" at OpenAI?

My man, you are you out of your depth, it's not even funny.

gentoo fires github because it badgered them to use copilot too much

Negli anni 70 c'era un movimento che si chiamava FUORI: Fronte Unitario Omosessuale Rivoluzionario Italiano.

E che cavolo, adesso anch'io voglio farne una. Tipo ORBI - Organizzazione Rivoluzionaria Blog Indipendenti. Oppure, Opposizione Radicale Bigtech Invasivi. In alternativa, Osservatorio Riconquista Beni Informatici.
Meglio ancora: Opposizione Radicale Bullismo Informatico

What a well-written, reflective post about slowly losing the joy of what being a programmer used to mean. It resonates with me. (via @dominik)

@TheBreadmonkey @Guillotine_Jones @laprice @Alice ah, I think that’s Braggadocio

was looking at my bright, artistic, sensitive daughter bringing me tea after we watched the latest episode of Animal Crossing and thinking that the caregiving relationship already started to shift without even me realising. I don't remember when it was that she started cooking for us more often than I do, and then it just became the norm. I mean I still expect at some point she'll leave the nest cos she's an adult now and capitalistic nuclear family has undermined the natural order of things, but we still experience it like this, on the edges.

and what this made me think is when she was born, this tiny red little thing unable to cry or breathe. of her for 15 days in these vaguely dystopic-looking but literally life-saving incubators, now bright yellow from jaundice, metal and plastic tubes on her face. what a delicate dance of flesh and machine it must be, to calculate the precise parameters to pump a newborn's lung. to engineer breath in, breath out.¹

she's like this entire person . all of her would not exist if it wasn't for public healthcare, for the labour of the nurses, for whoever it was who was responsible for developing and engineering and assembling these machines. medical researchers and industrial engineers and factory workers who saved my daughter's life.

if there's a point to technology it's that. and I don't know the names of any of these people.¹ I know the names of Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bill Gates—charlatans who don't actually do anything but merely imprint their names on trendy baubles developed by other people. but imagine what it must be like, to reach retirement after you have worked on the medical principles or engineering parameters of ICUs. even an otherwise thankless job putting them together in some Shanghai plant. you think of your work and multiply it in your mind by how many lives will be saved through it, present and future. compare that with the unfathomable amount of effort, investment, and resources burned to put more ads on screens or make depression-inducing apps more addictive or developing entirely useless spam generators ("AI").

In 1964, pediatric radiologist William Northway – while conversing with neonatologist Philip Sunshine at Stanford University Medical Center – noted a consistent pattern of cystic changes in the lungs on the radiographs of premature babies. Northway found that all of the babies had received high concentrations of oxygen and mechanical ventilation, causing damage. His 1967 paper in which the term bronchopulmonary dysplasia was coined described the disease and comorbidities. This led to worldwide reductions in supplemental oxygen levels and ventilation pressure, improving the health outcomes of premature infants. The paper has been called "one of the most important, most cited, and influential articles in the history of neonatology".

a delicate dance.

Kafka was quite insistent that there be no illustrations to bias in the mind what kind of creature Gregor had turned into in "The Metamorphosis". it was important to him the reader be unsure. some translations used "cockroach" and this has become fixed in the popular imagination

so again, i need to apologize, i am not even a cockroach

i am merely the subconscious projection of your own feelings of unease on a blank canvas

US sanctions turn International Criminal Court judge’s daily life into a nightmare

French ICC Judge Nicolas Guillou is living a nightmare after the US sanctioned him and other judges for issuing an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, once again exposing the risk of Europeans' reliance on American services.
