For the love of my two chihuahuas, the reaction I'm seeing to the RFC LLM policy (tl;dr: disclose if used for anything, don't use it to generate code or docs) is peak Twitter-style shit storm.
Sloperators don't like that it doesn't let them push crap out, people who dislike LLMs hate that it doesn't have a more forceful stance of replacing the whole text with "no LLM allowed". And some members of both camps have decided to heap abuse on people earnestly trying to herd cats in a thankless RFC process that is draining at the best of times.

@jeffjarvis I am forever sad that this did not come to fruition.

@catsalad Big cats are very friendly and I'm sure they appreciate the food

@Viss github public search for domain name + “basic.ics”

We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥

Blog post with all the details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...

It comes with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:

• Federated comments embeddable on any web page.

• Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.

• New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.

• #CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...

• Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @hci@micro.blogs.princeton.edu into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.

The first comments made me laugh so hard that Rosie oodled.

@baldur I like the subtlety of not finishing the Gramsci quote but mentioning the names of two monsters in the article.

@catsalad @SecureOwl @Viss holy shit

tagging @tommi and @d1, if I was in town I'd go to this

FerroCrypt started a few years ago as a small hobby project. The new version has been rewritten from the ground up and feels much more mature: a pure Rust library, CLI, and desktop app for local-only file & folder encryption, with passphrase and X25519 key-pair modes, `.fcr` files, streaming, and hardened extraction.

The NO FAKES Act is “still rife with problems,” EFF’s @cmcsherr told Bloomberg Law. The penalty for false notices “lacks teeth,” and the bill remains “a recipe for over-broad enforcement that will sweep up all kinds of lawful content.” https://news.bloomberglaw.com/artificial-intelligence/youtube-others-struggle-to-fight-deepfakes-as-law-lags-behind
