I don't know how to add third-party job announcements, I just share it @Vispero https://mastodon.social/@Vispero/117486382299427197

And what really gets me is the word "quick" or "quickly"

In their eyes it's always a quick and easy fix that should be done right away for them but if you ask them how they are clueless

If you request something from a developer, STOP using the word "quick" because it's often not

It feels like massive disrespect

I know I complain a lot, but I work in software.

@madrobotblog "...and send civil servants to Microsoft Copilot instead."

Those poor people. 😞

@fesshole - Why not take a silent sip of what they asked for in a mixed drink. They were probably arguing about recent politics. Usually politics and friends don't mix.

Weird, I thought I was responding to your friends doing it first. Crazy you decided it’s my fault.

Your group is the one that immediately goes to ostracizing others.

I didn’t presume shit. It’s all written out before my response to this shit show. If you’re offended, I wonder why?

Literally what I’m talking about. Look down on people while you vote for a corporate democrat.

Your comment is exactly what I would expect from someone who just loves the smell of their own shit.

How are people supposed to feel bad about suffering when it’s people who talk down to them like you who will suffer? Maybe I will just not vote with them. Let’s crash the bus.

All in all, a good win for you though. Simpsons memes are always a hoot. I wish I was as moral and just and smart as you.

OH MY GOD

I realized why the vibecoder software can be "like a home cooked meal" bothers me so much https://bradfrost.com/links/post/an-app-can-be-a-home-cooked-meal/

IT'S THE STEAMED HAMS SKETCH

Someone says they're making you a home cooked meal and then they plop a Krusty Burger on your plate and call it a family recipe they made themselves

ASSSSSSS

@stux 🫤

A really good mitigation for this btw - AppArmor or SELinux.

Google something like apparmor restrict php from executing commands. Works against these CVEs.

Sucks for cybersecurity vendors who shipped their appliances using PHP without SELinux or AppArmor, of course.

📣 Ninguna renta mínima en Europa saca de la pobreza a una persona que vive sola.

Lo sabemos porque hemos cogido las rentas mínimas de 23 países europeos y las hemos puesto al lado del umbral de pobreza de cada uno.

🔎 Esto es lo que hemos descubierto 🧵👇️

Un dato: 🇪🇸 En España, la renta mínima se queda un 28% por debajo del umbral para una persona sola, un 38% para una pareja y un 35% para una pareja con dos hijos.

It isn’t that surprising but it is somewhat surprising.

i don't know who needs to hear this, but

I remember signing up for the newsletter for this a while ago. They’ve come a good way since then, and I appreciate how much thought and planning they’ve put into this. There’s value to having a clear road map of how they intend to put it all together.

This page seems to have the most information: indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community

I’ve pulled out the parts I thought were relevant:

Welcome to the open social web: a growing constellation of people and interconnected apps reclaiming the web.

But most people aren’t here yet. They’re trapped in mainstream social media platforms controlled by billionaires, where […]

The solution isn’t another winner‑takes‑all platform, but a resilient, diverse web of interoperable services built on open protocols like ActivityPub, with bridges to other networks (AT Protocol/Bluesky) where useful. […]

After several years of tireless work, we’ve just launched Bonfire Social 1.0, built on our modular toolkit that’s fully customisable and extensible by design, which powers federated spaces that connect with Mastodon and the wider fediverse, balancing local autonomy with global conversation.

Then about the campaign:

This campaign aims to strengthen what we’ve built and unlock what comes next: federated groups, events, and governance tools; shared moderation and end‑to‑end encryption; mutual aid networks; Bluesky interconnection and mobile applications; living memory and Gaia.

The code is a public good (no investors, no ads), so rewards honour the craft and invite participation.

They then list out their plans for each step, as well as who they are collaborating with already:

For example, for federated events:

co‑created with LAUTI, interoperable with Mobilizon, Gancio, and Gathio. Follow groups and places and make event discovery and participation spread across the fediverse

For E2E Encryption:

Standards‑based MLS encryption for DMs and group chats, developed in partnership with the Social Web Foundation and another federated plaform, with usable key management and an interoperability path for the wider fediverse.

Messages are encrypted on devices and readable only by intended recipients—even by instance operators. We’ll focus on usable, federated key management and a path toward interop across the fediverse, setting a stronger baseline for privacy, especially for at‑risk communities.

Mutual Aid:

Local gifting and mutual aid: location-based offers/requests and resource matching, co‑designed with Mutual Aid Networks and local BuyNothing communities to strengthen solidarity and local resilience.

BuyNothing‑style gifting and mutual aid features support everyday sharing and crisis response: offers, requests, matching, and interoperable accounting with ValueFlows.

We’ll work with gifting and mutual aid communities to migrate from closed platforms, and explore bridges to connect existing networks (e.g., TrashNothing) where useful, so care and resources can flow without surveillance or lock‑in.

Gaia:

Environmental sensor and open data can appear in feeds as stories, visuals, and alerts. Co‑created with ecologists, artists, and sensor networks to turn data into dialogue and stewardship, taking Citizen Science to a whole new level.

Streams of environmental data, such as sensors, citizen science, open datasets can become understandable and actionable signals. Communities can contribute local data, listen with place, and turn awareness into care. The network of life is already federated, Gaia helps us listen and respond together.

fediverse, decentralized group of social media platforms in which each independent platform can interact freely with any other platform that is part of the group.

Great that they have an article on it, though their formatting the start of each article like a dictionary entry is a bit odd compared to Wikipedia.

Unlike X (formerly Twitter) or Facebook, which remain in business by profiting from consumers’ personal information, the fediverse aims to give users privacy and an ad-free interface.

@evan we should probably be teaching people how to give respectful, constructive feedback in school. So often, you really wonder whether a negative comment on some site is intended to actually help or just some miserable person venting. That, of some sort of tribalism that one project might impact their preferred project in some way.
