I grow weary of asking for little, and receiving even less.

AX was the new DX. Now it’s becoming the new UX.
In my latest post, I explore how "agent experience" has morphed beyond "developer experience" and become a branch of "user experience". https://ricmac.org/2026/05/05/agent-experience-new-ux/ #AgenticWeb #AI
@ricmac this is just wrong in so many ways.

Poll about #school #counsellors and #dataPRIVACY in #education
Do your counsellors ensure that private and confidential client data is private from the moment of capture onwards - ie on the device, on the network, and in storage?
Does your institution take data privacy seriously enough to spend money and change behaviour?
(Note - secure is NOT private. Any use of cloud storage where the data is not deliberately encrypted before storing is likely to be compromised)

@hipsterelectron my assumption is it was named in cheeky opposition to Slack, in reference to the long standing fake feud between the Discordians and the Church of the Subgenius

Cloudflare is protecting a booter. Then rather than stop the criminals from leveraging Cloudflare infra, they sold their protection to the victim. How is this even legal? We all know it's been happening at smaller scale but even with a high profile extended attack like Ubuntu has been dealing with, their response is "LOL. Fuck you. Pay me."
@boo_ then she would be in my party and we'd fight evil witches together !!!!!

I'm willing to say that we haven't even done our most exciting work yet.
Bridgy Fed and Bounce are foundations. We've only just begun.
@mariejulien absolument. Il faut effacer le firmware existant puis remplacer par l’image que tu veux. Les apps de flashage de MeshCore et Meshtastic sont bien documentées.
Sur les deux tu peux sauver et restaurer tes clés privées. C’est utile si tu testes un protocole puis que tu passes à l’autre, quand tu repasses au premier tu reprends ta clé privée initiale pour retrouver ton identité.
@joachim ok merci, il faudra pas que j'oublie de faire ça.
