- Correct me if I’m wrong but as I’m understanding it, the processes is well underway towards moving the core systems and libraries (or whatever it’s all called) across to the new way. But that there’s a massive job of extended libraries maintained by lots of other parties and this ecosystem of libraries have been using all manner of approaches, each of which has its drawbacks and the big goal here is to get all these maintainers onboard to switch over to the new git-based workflow that this transition team (and others) have been working hard to make logical and easy enough to implement.
Is that a fair general read of the situation? (I have further comments to make but wanted to check my basic assumptions first).
- To be honest, it’s a nicer experience on mobile as you can finger scroll at whatever pace works for you.
- My personal theory on why rails never beat out Wordpress (beyond that it has different goals), is that any attempts to make a Wordpress competitor never addressed end-user plugins.
Ruby has package management called Gems. And while these are easy and powerful for a programmer to call on; they aren’t loaded using a visual interface and be able to be dynamically loaded by the end user as is the experience with Wordpress.
To make a real Wordpress competitor; a system of user-self-installable plugins needs to also be created. Now that’s harder than just making a CMS but it’s fuctionality that makes many so called Wordpress competitors non-starters.
- Here’s their social media presence if anyone is feeling like they’d like to drop them a message:

- I don’t see as much talk of Acticity Pub related innovation / tooling as I’d like to. What a great project.
Anyone aware of any other cool activity pub related innovations / explorations / tooling, that might interest folks here?
- … why am I so lonely.
- I want to reproblematise the word ‘leadership’ here. The phrase ‘servant leadership’ is actually a paradigm shift away from classic ‘out-the-front’ ‘the-boss-knows-best’ ‘dominate-others’ leadership.
What the author is missing is parallelisation. By definition in systems of clear one person in charge leadership the work bottlenecks and power centralises, hard.
In models of servant leadership, it’s possible for multiple people to bring leadership and leadership skills all at once.
In a group of a dozen or more people, huge bottlenecks and ego power crap are resolved as multiple people can bring servant leadership.
It’s single core vs parallel, in the later leadership can then come from all participants, even the very young and vulnerable involved in the group can learn to do this.
The emphasis is on skill sharing and being of service OVER power hoarding.

There was a bunch of news on data leaks out at the time.

https://securityboulevard.com/2025/04/whistleblower-musks-do...
But one example:
“A cybersecurity specialist with the U.S. National Labor Relations Board is saying that technologist with Elon Musk’s cost-cutting DOGE group may have caused a security breach after illegally removing sensitive data from the agency’s servers and trying to cover their tracks.
In a lengthy testimonial sent to the Senate Intelligence Committee and made public this week, Daniel Berulis said in sworn whistleblower complaint that soon after the workers with President Trump’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) came into the NLRB’s offices in early March, he and other tech pros with the agency noticed the presence of software tools similar to what cybercriminals use to evade detection in agency systems that disabled monitoring and other security features used to detect and block threats.”
- Analysis using BuiltWith shows that the site is coded with PHP, Perl and Java. Smells like real enterprise decisions right there. I’m no expert but I’d be guessing that the Perl is likley the remains coming from the old code base. That’d be fair yeah? Haven’t heard of many people coding websites with Perl in 2025.
- If one person uses Molly but the other uses standard Signal. Do we have the same problem or is security still somewhat improved with regards to who’s communicating w who?
- Install and use Chrome Mask for those sites:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/
From their about:
A little Firefox Extension that provides a one-click toggle to spoof as Chrome in Firefox - or, in other words, to put on the Chrome Mask.
There are a lot of generic "User Agent spoof" extensions. However, this extension does a few things differently:
- Instead of overriding the User Agent string on all sites, this extension allows you to only look like Chrome on specific sites.
- Unlike some extensions with outdated version numbers and UA strings, this extension automatically updates the Chrome version it pretends to be. It does that by querying a simple API every 24 hours.
- You don't have to pick the correct Operating System manually; this extension does it for you.
- This extension also shims a few additional JavaScript attributes, like navigator.vendor or the global chrome object, to pass common browser checks.
- Influencers get paid by social media platforms. What if private users sought to fund influencers to actively post on mastodon? Towards having more content and activity on instances.
Many influencers have patreon and are keen to attract more funding. Many could maintain mastodon in addition to other platforms.
- I’m guessing he’s on mastodon himself and posted this to his feed. Can anyone share a link to his mastodon post for this announcement.

- We mainly use cloudflare due to the first class DNS experience. Free and super easy to work with.
Anyone have a suggestion for an alternative? I don’t want to pay per domain but I would pay an agency fee for like 100 domains for a few hundred bucks sorta think, like migadu offers for email.
- Prediction. The rise of articles discussing AI attributed bloat and technical debt.
As they say.. Garbage in..
- To misquote animal farm:
All speach is equal but some speech is more equal than other speech.
I see alot of value in how steam helped communicate which software was and wasn’t ready to run on their new gaming platform. Tools like verification ticks and defined statuses for packages are very useful to communicate progress and to motivate maintainers to upgrade. Consider designing a similar verifition approach that helps the community easily track progress and nudge slow players. If it’s all too technical the community can’t help move things along.
