I can&#39;t believe fighter jets did a flyby just before USA-Belgium, but then again I guess I can believe it.

#Codeberg voted to frown upon / sneer at / actually turn away projects maintained with LLMs: [[Protecting our FLOSS commons from LLMs]]: https://blog.codeberg.org/protecting-our-floss-commons-from-llms.html Some of the arguments having to do with e.g. forge usage disproportionate to user count make total sense to me, given limited resources. Some don&#39;t, e.g. these projects are being told to go away: - Projects written and maintained with heavy use of LLMs - Projects heavily tied to...

One killed and 16 injured in attack at [[Berlin Pride]] :( https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/25/berlin-pride-march-called-off-after-car-crashes-into-crowd-of-people-near-route It seems [[Islamic Extremism]] strikes again.

This week, alongside a host of good new experiences, I had the singular and terrible opportunity of hearing a cow cry and rage after one of her calves was taken away (presumably to the slaughterhouse). Let me tell you, that cow did not go silently into compliance nor moved on in any shape or form. Days later, around dawn, she still sounded like she was ready to burn down the place because of her still missing calf, and it made me wish I could hand her the fire.

#Mastodon: where posts go to remain unread (most of the time), and (still, as of 2026) remain impossible to bring along with your profile when you move instances!

I enjoyed reading [[When Dawkins met Claude]]: https://archive.ph/2026.05.02-185627/https://unherd.com/2026/04/is-ai-the-next-phase-of-evolution/?edition=us (Yes, I know #Dawkins is considered cancelled by some but I reviewed his controversies and I don&#39;t currently believe him to be truly problematic.)

Could we just agree, as a global community, not to elect any more #Boomers to top positions starting 2027? Meaning no more Boomer presidents and heads of state; they&#39;ve had their fair multi-decade chance and they can still participate, but top level decision making should now be elsewhere.

An interesting #Fediverse poll on the potential benefit of investing more in #algorithms with a clear majority opinion (negative) but also people in every minority opinion bucket. Original link: https://social.coop/@flancian/116392985027353068

#Holos is a #Fediverse search engine: https://discover.holos.social/
Post #1562319
Based on this poll I will not call [[AI Celibates]] &quot;AIcels&quot; anymore; the potential for confusion with Incels is too high. https://social.coop/@flancian/116404306944868556

#PSA that since Mastodon 4.2 there is an option to make your public posts explicitly available to Fediverse search engines. To enable it, you need to: - Go to &lt;instance&gt;/settings/privacy, e.g. https://social.coop/settings/privacy - And tick: &quot;Include public posts in search results&quot; This should make them available to e.g. #Holos at https://discover.holos.social/, see also https://discover.holos.social/how-it-works

Thank you friends for all the conversations! No matter how hard.

Finally, after ~25 days or so, I can follow @seldo! #Socialcoop suspended him which made them vanish off the face of the earth from the point of view of our #Fediverse instance. Is that OK? Honestly: it didn&#39;t feel great. I am very particular about being able to interact with the people I want to interact with, and take objection to insufficiently justified unilateral actions. I filed a concern about it with the moderation team and they recently reached a decision.

My watch has ended! :) flancian@rhizome:~$ sudo docker exec -it docker-web-1 tootctl accounts modify flancian --remove-role OK I wish the Mastodon instance its best! I will remain engaged in the Tech Working Group exploring other projects and available for emergencies but otherwise plan to shift away from #Mastodon project work. In my years since I onboarded to the TWG I helped achieve the following objectives: - Got Mastodon instance maintenance team back to a healthy rotation. - Many updat...

I&#39;m liking #Blacksky a lot so far because 1. there are a lot of people there who seem actually committed to questioning the status quo and promoting social change and 2. it lets me &#39;pop out&#39; of several of the bubbles I&#39;m in. It&#39;s probably the most exciting large community I know of currently. I&#39;m @flan.cryptoanarchy.network over there btw if you want to add each other (of course you can also do this from Bluesky). To join: https://blacksky.commun...

I&#39;m reading [[Red Mars]] and I&#39;m liking it more than I thought I would. The world building is good and I also enjoyed the representation of the year long trip for the first scientists-colonists.

I just installed [[Tab Manager Plus]] for Chrome and I like it right away: it lets you search all your tabs *and* take actions on all matching tabs, e.g. closing them but also moving them to a new window. This might in practice have an actual effect on the level of tabs I&#39;m running at all times.

RE: https://social.coop/@flancian/108495669037166588 I found this old post in the Agora from back when Twitter bots and Twitter interop with other networks were both working. It was great while it lasted!
