"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

What happens when #AI reads #Africandata through the wrong frame and no one in the room knows enough to notice?

"That gap between what the model produced and what the data actually meant was only visible to me because I knew the #context. Which raises a question that I have not been able to stop thinking about: what happens in all the cases where no one in the room does?"

"Sure, AI can type a million words a minute. But productivity isn’t capped by how fast you can type.
The LLM won’t help you understand the user’s goals any quicker than human pace. And understanding their goals is the prerequisite of understanding their problems.
The LLMs might be able to help you with production work. But skipping straight to the production work, because that’s where the magical tools live, is doing yourself a disservice."

"The cost of building something new has fallen through the floor over the last decade. Developer tools have become more powerful, numerous, and freely available.

Enter #AI. Almost without warning, AI-enabled tools dramatically expanded what a resource-strapped team can create. It’s a genuine sea change.

But all #code needs to be maintained.

When we consider #feasibility, the center of gravity is no longer in #building the thing. It’s #supporting it."

"My point here is that we need to be able to recognize the rise of far-right [#antidemocratic] politics within the #techindustry, especially among the handful of people who are literally the richest and most powerful people in the world. An important part of that is recognizing the ways that narratives about science and technology can be misused in order to help pave the way for #fascism, #colonialism, and #genocide."

The role of #design in #vibecoding:
"Designers live and die by #critique—not just aesthetic critique, but structural critique. We interrogate the system: how does this interaction model connect to the larger journey?…
…#designers remain uniquely positioned in how ideas mature.
The tools lowered the floor, and interfaces are everywhere—half-formed, promising, genuinely surprising…
What’s different now is that[ideas]can be expressed in richer formats…"

RE: @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net

Veja o exemplo do novo governo holandês: este é o momento certo para #instituiçõespúblicas ativarem as suas "esquinas" no Fediverso!
O que falta para o Brasil dar este passo #Secom?
Não são vocês o locus indicado para políticas digitais no governo brasileiro? O que falta para dar o passo definitivo e criar a instância que estabelecerá, finalmente, uma alternativa pública ao algoritmo proprietário?

"The popular turn to “#digitalsovereignty” identifies the right problem but mislocates the solution, treating #thestate as something that can simply be recaptured… Reclaiming #publicauthority thus depends on strengthening the democratic parts of the economy itself — rebuilding institutions capable of pooling capital, coordinating at scale, and exerting leverage. #Cooperatives, if politicized and #federated, remain one of the few tools available for doing that work."

"In #TheSecretAgent, set in 1977 #Brazil under military rule, #WagnerMoura stars as technology expert and political dissident, attempting to flee persecution and resist an authoritarian deceitful regime.
The political thriller, from filmmaker #KleberMendonça Filho, debuted to massive acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival, becoming the year’s most-awarded title at the fest: Moura won the best actor award; Mendonça Filho was named best director; the ArtHouse Cinema Award…"
