    Fediverse server admins: have you considered putting a limit on the number of people that can join your instance?

    If not, please do.

    (This should really be a feature in fediverse servers like Mastodon, etc. ā€œMax occupancyā€ or something with an auto-shutoff when it’s reached.)

    Remember, small is beautiful ;)

    If nothing else, I’m sure none of you want to become mini Zuckerbergs or Musks – eww – so let’s make sure we set the right incentives from the start.

    If you don’t want to become that which you despise, you must design your systems accordingly.

    Multi-user federated servers are inherently open to economies of scale and thus to embrace, extend & extinguish.

    Fediverse servers should be designed _so they cannot scale beyond a certain size_ to ensure no node becomes a centre.

    If your aim is to devolve wealth/power/control, vertical scale is your failure mode. If you want to raise mini Zuckerbergs, by all means, scale on…

    A privacy conference sponsored by Google and Meta is like a healthcare conference sponsored by Phillip Morris or a climate change conference sponsored by ExxonMobil. In other words, it is bullshit.

    Love this: I’m editing my slides for tomorrow’s talk at PrivacyWeek using slides.com on my elementary OS daily driver and getting an almost real-time preview in the Atem Mini Pro multiview from my Pop!_OS laptop that’s playing the presentation.

    To fine a trillion-dollar company in the ā€œmillions of dollarsā€ is to legitimise their business model.

    Irish police will have the power to compel people to provide passwords for electronic devices when carrying out a search warrant under new legislation.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57468750

    This is a fundamental attack on basic human rights.

    So, ball’s in your court, web server developers.

    Are you going to add a one-line header, by default, to your server responses to protect people from being tracked by Google or not?

    Adding it to Site.js took 5 minutes or work:

    Running git 2.28 or later? Take 10 seconds and enter the following into your terminal to set the default branch in new projects to main not master:

    git config --global init.defaultBranch main

    Actions matter more than words. So here’s a simple action you can take to show that you care.

    The only ā€œethical AIā€ for personal data is free and open AI that runs on your own devices where you own and control it. The only ā€œethical AIā€ for communal data is free and open AI owned and controlled by us all. AI/data owned and controlled by corporations is unethical to begin with.

    ā€œDefaults don’t matter, you can just change them.ā€

    Really? Why do you think Google gives Mozilla HALF A BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to be the DEFAULT search engine on Firefox if defaults don’t matter? Or give Apple Ā£1.2 BILLION for the same in the UK alone?

    Think about it.

    Are they idiots?

    Or are you?

    If you’re a developer, you care about accessibility, and you’re looking for something to work on, consider helping out with Jitsi.

    Reasons we can’t use it for EU events:

    - No support for simultaneous translation
    - No support for sign language interpretation
    - Other #a11y issues

    I’ll never get tired of just typing

    site --sync-to=ar.al

    to deploy my site with Site.js (https://sitejs.org).

    Also, if I type

    site --sync-to=ar.al --live-sync

    instead, it syncs my changes on every save. Someone say ā€œlive blog?ā€

    Hey Apple,

    Saying you block trackers but not blocking Google Analytics is like saying you practice safe sex when you cut off the heads of your condoms.
