Ah, timely as ever, really riding that crypto hype

At least they're not launching their own token ~~yet~~

imo you can't really open source a black box that is functionally impossible to audit

On CI/CD, woodpecker is fairly trivial to set up to work with gitea/forgejo if something like that is needed

I recently listened to the vergecast episode about all of MS's recent announcements and was genuinely shocked to hear recall being compared to, more or less, the local caching that already happens while you use your computer (+ the normalized big tech tracking). My gut reaction was that that's kind of an insane thing to think and I'm glad I'm being vindicated on that point.

I'm shocked I tell you! Shocked!

To be fair the "last time I checked" was a couple months ago, glad to see it tho!

Good thing most of the extant instances are European then 👍

 

Last time I checked there was no ~~functioning~~ Mobilizon instance based in North America, so I started one. If you have an event coming up this summer but don't want to use Facebook or some other corporate platform, maybe give Mobilizon a shot?

I'm also open to federating with any existing instances, just shoot me an email and I'll set it up 🫡

Isn't the "trajectory" that these systems are incredibly unsustainable both economically and environmentally? I'd hope that a machine that uses a few thousand homes' worth of energy to answer a single query would be more useful than "can generate boilerplate code for me" or whatever.
