For all the good the FSF has done over the years, if you've ever wondered why no one takes them seriously anymore it's stuff like this. Just link the issue tracker what are you doing https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/googles-decision-to-deprecate-jpeg-xl-emphasizes-the-need-for-browser-choice-and-free-formats

The practical consequence of using LLMs to generate code is that many developers will find they have unwittingly moved themselves into a role they were probably trying to avoid: they have automated the creation of legacy code and have redefined their job role as debugging and fixing such code.

If a public agency wants to create an official Mastodon server it controls (or use one the state has set up) — that's great! They should do that. I'd love to see a dedicated National Weather Service instance, for example.

But this shouldn't happen at the expense of having their web sites actually be **useful**. So start putting all this information on the web again. Get that stuff back into those dormant RSS feeds.

Then pipe that information wherever you want (including Mastodon)!

Scandinavian surnames are mostly patronyms ending in -son or -sen.

there isn't as much of a tradition of having job titles (Smith, Thatcher, Wright) as surnames.

A new version of #madblog is available! 🎉

It now comes #PWA support out of the box - manually creating a `manifest.json` is no longer required. So your own blog or web notebook can easily be installed as a PWA with zero additional configuration - yay!

For those who aren't familiar with it, madblog is a platform I developed to have a simple but good-looking blog with zero JS that is *really* Markdown-based.

When I say Markdown-based, I usually don't mean "it has a WYSIWYG editor that supports Markdown and will store your data on a database behind your back".

No, I really mean "you create your directory with Markdown files, run madblog to use it as a content directory, and nothing else is required".

If your blog pages are stored as Markdown files in a git repo, then running your blog somewhere is as simple as cloning the repo, creating a simple `config.yaml` in it, and running `madblog blog-dir`.

It currently powers both my blogs (https://blog.platypush.tech and https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com).

Ideas and feedback are welcome!

The thing about Twitter is that it really lacks a lot of the features you'd expect from a true Mastodon replacement.

For example, there's no way to edit your toots (which they, confusingly call "tweets"—let's face it, it's a bit of a silly name that's difficult to take seriously).

"Tweets" can't be covered by a content warning. There's no way to let the poster know you like their tweet without also sharing it, and no bookmark feature.

There's no way to set up your own instance, and you're basically stuck on a single instance of Twitter. That means there's no community moderators you can reach out to to quickly resolve issues. Also, you can't de-federate instances with a lot of problematic content.

It also doesn't Integrate with other fediverse platforms, and I couldn't find the option to turn the ads off.

Really, Twitter has made a good start, but it will need to add a lot of additional features before it gets to the point where it becomes a true Mastodon replacement for most users.

@thor well, you have to look at the history of the British isles, they all originally spoke Gaelic, the Romans invaded and taught them Latin, then the Anglo Saxons invaded and they were the ones to speak English, but they were from Germany, the Angles and Saxons, then you have the Vikings that invaded from Norway, and then the Normans, which were originally Danish Vikings that invaded France first.

Very funny, W3C.

Every time I criticise some centralised platform – this time it was Substack – there are lots of replies about how it's the "only way for people to make a living".

I cannot describe to you how terrified I would be if my income depended on Substack.

It is the latest in a long line of centralised platforms that will lock you in and then change the rules to your severe detriment – and their profit.

If you build your livelihood on a platform like Substack then you are in for a very sad time.
