Mastodawn

I'm hosting @Mastodon's first ever Discovery Week in just a few days. It's a chance for the public to weigh in on the future of online communities.

We'll be discussing topics like user-controlled algorithms, trust & safety, creator tools, and more. Your input will help steer Mastodon towards a more inclusive and impactful roadmap. Non-technical folks strongly encouraged to attend, and there's an async option if you can't make the live sessions!

125 days until lockdown

Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID.

Every app and every device, worldwide, with no opt-out.

🎉 Right to repair is preserved! 🎉

A house committee in the Colorado legislature voted 7 to 4 to "postpone indefinitely" the SB26-090 bill that would have rolled back the hard-fought right, had it passed.

A coalition of experts from around the state, the country, and the world testified that the vague definition of "critical infrastructure" left open the possibility that manufacturers could have classified virtually any tech product under that category, which would then have exempted it from R2R unless the attorney general weighed in.

I'm so grateful to everyone who jumped in with almost no advance notice, and testified forcefully that the bill was bad and the arguments underpinning the bill's rationale were complete bullshit.

We won a victory, folks. Against huge industry lobbying efforts, we won the day. Activism mattered and made a difference tonight!

#Capitalists: Keep grinding! Never stop going hard! There's no limit to how much profits you can reap! Never sleep.

#Degrowth people like me: Stop grinding yourself to death. Stop going hard. Start slowing down & relishing a more simple life. Invest in extra naps.

I hate that the framing is "people forgot about covid" and not "the rich and powerful successfully waged a PR campaign to make the public forget about covid."

https://chuffed.org/project/172129-please-help-dalia-and-her-children-escape-this-genocide I hope you will continue to help me. I've now been forced to buy food from the soup kitchen because of the exorbitant prices. The food from the soup kitchen gives me heartburn; I can't tolerate it, and my young daughter refuses to eat it.

Please help Dalia and her children escape this genocide

My name is Dalia. I am a mother of four children.For the past three years, we have been living without stability, without a real home to call our own. Our house was destroyed, and since then we have been moving from one place to another, carrying only what we could save.I am writing this with a heavy heart. As a mother, the hardest thing is not being able to provide safety, comfort, and basic needs for your children. My children are 17, 15, 13, and 5 years old. They deserve a safe place to sleep, proper food to eat, clean water to drink, and clothes that keep them warm.Every day is a struggle. We sleep on old mattresses. We lack many basic necessities. Sometimes even simple things like clean water or enough food feel like a dream.I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for safety. I am asking for dignity. I am asking for a chance to rebuild our lives and give my children hope again.Your support — no matter how small — can help us secure shelter, food, clothing, and basic needs. It can help restore a little stability to our broken life, our broken hearts, our broken dreams.
