What would you tell a scientist who asked you, "Should I join Mastodon or Bluesky?"

If the goal is to reach the largest possible audience, which is essential for science popularizers, I'm not sure I would recommend an app like Mastodon. I can explain my reasoning in more detail later.

For now […]

the biggest problem we *already have* in open source right now, which we have oversimplified into the term "supply chain security", is the lack of understanding that putting a dependency in your project's dependency set (package.json, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, cargo.toml, etc) is not […]

More than nine years have passed since I left Brazil, and I've realized how much more time I have to reflect on any topic.

Living in a wealthier country means I'm not constantly bombarded by the sad reality of an unequal society. I no longer live with the constant tension of having to be alert […]

@DqTube @ZLabe I don't limit it to Mastodon, but that was the question made by a scientist and the reason for me is clear: Mastodon is the most popular microblogging tool used in the Fediverse.

It's amazing that we have folks from the traditional German media like @3sat or @tagesschau attending the #fedida, but I can't find any mention to the event on their #fediverse accounts?

Did I just miss it or are they afraid of the (still) atypical?

I couldn't find it at Frankfurt Airport yet, but shouldn't there be spots to refill our water bottles at any airport? Instead, we find bottles priced at about €4 or more, which is unrealistic.

The new Berlin airport has them, and I think it's great. We […]

#chatcontrol : on fait le point

D’après le projet de règlement, les communications privées de tout un chacun pourraient être scannées à l’aide de filtres douteux fondés sur de l’ #ia pour voir si les messages contiendraient des contenus pédopornographiques […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
Le projet de règlement de l'UE sur le contrôle du chat est sans doute l'une des réglementations les plus controversées de l'UE depuis longtemps. La crainte est que la loi puisse saper toutes les communications en ligne cryptées et ouvrir la porte à la surveillance de masse.

Hello, #fediday attendees! I'm curious: Have any presentations discussed the main challenges we have in the #fediverse so far? Which ones were addressed, and by whom?

I ask because, in similar communities I've joined, I've generally felt that they were quite exclusivist and didn't try to […]

I've been using #duckduckgo for more than 15 years. What's their positioning regarding what's happening in the US? Should I seek some European alternative? Which one do you recommend?

By the way, are they part of the #fediverse? Or still mainly on platforms that don't care about #privacy and […]

Google joins Apple in caving in to Trump regime re ICE-spotting app.

Looks like Android side-loading will the only way forward.

Big Tech's cowardice is disgusting, though no surprise.

While the #schadenfreude at what is happening at #bluesky might be great, there are absolutely good reasons why a lot of people do not truest the #fediverse , and most of these reasons are cultural.

The most important reason of these is that the Fediverse is still overwhelmingly a space by and […]

And I will never have anyone take that away from me.
