If you wanted to make high-impact fediverse software, I would recommend making a simple daemon that does the following:

- Consumes RSS/Atom feeds
- Posts them as subscribable feeds over activitypub
- So dead easy you can host it yourself as a simple daemon on your server
- Optionally: collects replies as a comment section with a way to render them inline, a-la disqus, with some simple moderation tools. Simplest way to reduce spam would be to make it approve-only to show up on the feed.

You could extend this to allow posting on other servers etc. But, in other words, let more people use the static site generator they already have

computers don't do the thing where they start breaking and then you move the window and it smears all over the screen anymore. it's too bad really

Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project.

Here's the file they don't want you to read: https://web.archive.org/web/20260402155236/https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf

p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.

Red Hat has since removed their war crime-supporting "Compress the kill cycle" marketing page from their website but left other references up, e.g. https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf (also saved on IA now)

A really good summary of what compressing the kill cycle means in practical terms was recently published in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-school-bombing-the-truth-is-far-more-worrying

TIL: VLC has a puzzle mode

Alt...

Screenshot of VLC showing the music video for "Consulting Fox" (rough translation) by "Akatsuki Records"; the video is split into 16 different puzzle pieces that can be re-arranged. The original song title is: 【東方ヴォーカルPV】こ～んさるたん！【暁Records公式】

Alt...

Later part of the same music video, but with all but 2 puzzle pieces placed in their correct place

Alt...

Screenshot of VLC settings annotated with arrows to show how to enable the puzzle mode. First you either click the "Show extended settings" icon (5th from the left) in the lower toolbar, or click "Tools" menu and select "Effects and Filters" there. In the window that opens select the "Video Effects" tab, "Geometry" section, and in there there's a checkbox in the lower right for enabling the puzzle game, and setting the grid size.

There is hidden softcore furry pornography in MacPaint 2.0.

*Why* is there hidden softcore furry pornography in MacPaint 2.0.

I use #KOReader (https://koreader.rocks/) on my Kindle, and I like it far more than Kindle's native interface.
KOReader is also available on other platforms (e.g., Android, Linux) so you can try it there first!
It can even synchronise reading progress between devices, so I can resume reading on my tablet/phone. :)
(yes, I shill koreader. its awesome)

Krita’s Maintainer is awesome!

Alt...

Krita Maintainer Halla posting that reads: “Speaking as the Krita maintainer, I don’t want us to accept any LLM-generated code into Krita. Some may say, as long as the contributor understands the code it’s fine, but that’s a fallacy. No programmer really fully understands the code they are working with (otherwise bugzilla would be empty); but with LLM-generated code they haven’t even put any thought into it. That code will be unmaintainable. And that’s even completely apart from the fact that using LLM’s to generate code lowers your cognitive capacity, burns up the planet, destroys water sources all over the world and takes away from people what fits them best: being creative together with other humans. The right thing to do could be to, after you’ve experimented in this environmentally-disastrous way, to describe the feature you reached and wanted and make a wish item in bugzilla, or discuss it here, and then let people who can code implement it in a responsible way.”

@circus_maximus @downey @Torx Android already has a hardware attestation system open to everyone unlike this centralized system. Volla, Murena and iodé made a centralized system on top of the Android hardware attestation API to permit their own products while forbidding others. They're not enabling anything which wasn't already possible and are fully dependent on standard Android hardware attestation. Unified Attestation is anti-competitive and it clearly isn't legal.

Alternate code forges be like:

1. Let's offer this alternate VCS, so all the #git haters come to us.
2. Oh no, there's not much money in git haters. Let's offer git as well.
3. This alternate VCS is too much effort. Let's discontinue hosting it and tell our users to switch to our git hosting.
4. Why did all our users to move back to #GitHub?
