After 3 incredible years with Astro, I'm ready for my next challenge! Building up @astro from nothing with this team has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. 🙏

Devtools companies—let's chat. I'd love to join your product engineering team. I have a particular soft spot for designing and building great CLIs, but you name it and I've probably done it.

Venture capitalists have dreamed up new schemes to cash out of the "AI" companies they've funded. A lot of people are going to lose a lot of money before this is over -- but the VCs are working hard to ensure it won't be them.

This is why you shouldn't be obsessed with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman (RMS), Stormy Peters, Alan Cox, and other figures in the open-source or Unix or Linux communities. 😂

Today something happened for the #Fediverse!

Petition #e4769 was presented in Canada's House of Commons on behalf of over 1000 #opensocialweb supporters! The government must now respond!

It was a group effort including @Dragon @chad @Dunstable @bougiewonderland @LALegault @mike @stephanie @danamcfarland @bluefacedbeast and 1003 more!

In 🇨🇦? Write the Speaker and your MP! Send them this post! Outside 🇨🇦 ? Use this example!

We can make it happen!! 😊 👊

A video of the House of Commons routine proceedings presenting petitions. It starts with a view of the speakers chair and green seats in front of him with two large doors behind. Then it switches to View of MP Gordon John as he presents the petition.

Things I’ve been asked to produce over the years as a manager in security:

• Blockchain strategy
• Metaverse strategy
• Generative AI strategy

Amount of times this has had any value: 0

Perhaps the reason businesses largely haven’t grown for a decade is because they have failed to concentrate on ensuring good operations and making products customers care about.. but instead they’ve rushed off the latest fad cliff like Lemmings.

We blocked Anthropic’s ClaudeBot across the 6,000 sites we host at 7:55 this morning. On our busiest server this caused traffic to drop from a peak of 493 requests per second to just 90:

Uploaded four (4) #keyboard layout files over at #WikiCommons.

• SVG format
  ** text and path methods
• CC By-SA 4.0 International License

Here are the links:

1. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keyboard-layout-blank-text_(keycodes_only).svg

2. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keyboard-layout-blank-text_(keycodes_and_labels).svg

3. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keyboard-layout-blank-path_(keycodes_only).svg

4. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keyboard-layout-blank-path_(keycodes_and_labels).svg

PS

• ‹text› method allows anyone to change the font as well as to translate the text.
• ‹path› method is “embedded” (if you will), and thus, not translatable and the font design is fixed.

It's licensed under #CreativeCommons #BySA 4.0 because the source file, in PNG format, is under the same license. I actually prefer to release it under CC0/CCzero (a.k.a. Public Domain). Although in some jurisdictions, it can only be Public Domain because there's nothing artistic about an ISO-based keyboard layout.

The changes I made:

1. Converted the PNG source to SVG.
2. Removed the labels of non-basic keys.
3. Updated the name of some keys
4. Changed some of the symbols
5. Used Noto Sans, Noto Symbols, and Noto Symbols 2.

Enjoy!

There are disputes on how to talk about climate change so that individuals care more about or "buy" climate protection. Not too alarmist, mainstream, positive enough?

Meanwhile CO2 emissions - the primary driver of #climatechange - are still rising globally and atmospheric CO2 reaches new record values.

Sorry to say, archive.org is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable.

We are working on it & will post updates in comments.

Not going to link to the actual review because I don’t care and will not care about the movie in question, but I find it interesting how quickly and thoroughly the meaning of “AI” in the public vocabulary as shifted from “futuristic automated intelligence” to “bad and lazily made”

splorp, 17 days ago to apple

Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen A. Cronin.

He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.

Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.

Boosts appreciated.

my advice on microblogging

• post more
• write less
• regularly insult your followers

Little adjustments to the composer, now available for testing on #PhanpySocialDev

• Allow minimize composer, useful for temporarily stashing it aside, especially on PWA where the composer can't pop out to another window. Should work even while posting to the server (loading state).
• Add 'More…' in custom emoji suggestion list to open the extended Custom Emojis picker UI.
• Add 'More…' in mentions list to open extended Accounts picker UI.

Possibly still buggy. Feedback welcomed 🙇‍♂️

Demo of the composer on Phanpy, showing how it can be popped out to another window, then popped back in. It can also be minimized. The new 'More…' menu is also shown from the custom emojis and mentions auto-suggestion list while typing. Clicking the menu will open the extended UI for further picking custom emojis or mentions.

The switch away from a big, centralised "AI" oligopoly is already happening. The tools and rules to exchange small, domain-specific "AI" models, extending them without needing a full training run in the Open Source Way are coming along nicely. Good. 1/6
