Several of my friends here asked me if I’m in a safe place, but I struggle to explain the geography of Gaza and people from overseas struggle to understand it. So I’m writing a thread. 🧶⬇️⬇️⬇️

On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador.

Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away.

These are their stories.

Fediverse is still the most lively social network I have ever used, since MySpace in 2003. It is better than Twitter or any commercial social media platform ever was. Absolutely love being here.

The most profound thing about it is the international coverage. After the first wave of enshittification in 2010, algorithms took over, and suddenly as a polyglot I was labeled as Finnish. No more visible international posts, people only saw the Finnish ones.

I've noticed the same effect in commercial AI. It ignores the fact that I use English online 99% of the time and still replies to me in Finnish despite all instructions. Algorithms and AI label you. They assign you a language, a status, a certain type of person. There's no changing that.

The Fediverse and Mastodon are delightfully mine, yours, and truly open source - respecting privacy. Nobody's machine can tell you, "You are this, and this is why we do that."

Fuck labelers and the fog machines. Let me be me. Here, on my own server, I can embrace my weirdness and post however I want, how often I want, whenever I want, in whatever language I choose - without constantly worrying about how my identity will be perceived by a machine.

Valencia.rb is back to restart after almost 5 years of inactivity.
Our re-launch event couldn't be better! The Ruby Europe initiative has given us the motivation we needed to get back to talking about the language we are so passionate about, Ruby.

Who is currently running a jobs website for #Ruby and would like to maintain a section for Junior #Ruby developers in @shortrubynews?

It’s a win-win: I will credit you for curating the section and link to your project, while the community benefits from attracting new talent.
