So I think we in tech are going to have to really face up to two things that the whole #Omarchy thing has exposed.
Funding for #openSource was never really a problem - turns out there was plenty money available for all these years. The money raised so far by #DHH shows that.
The second is that the illusion that the tech industry ever sat on the right side of history when clearly it's just allowed Nazis to hide in plain sight this entire time.

So that's that.
I added `picows` support to the UNICORN Binance WebSocket API.
The benchmark started as a simple library comparison and ended up improving UBWA itself too.
Results:
⚡ up to **2× throughput** on small Binance messages
🧠 about **26% lower average CPU usage**
📨 **138M+ live messages** per implementation
✅ no picows-specific stalls or unrecoverable streams in the 24h soak
`websockets` still remains the default for now.
Why?
Because 24 hours and 138 million messages are strong evidence, but they are not the same as months of production use across many different systems.
So picows is opt-in until broader real-world usage proves it further.

#introduction time! My name is Matt, I'm new to veganism.social, but not new to the #Fediverse. I first joined in 2018 on a #mastodon instance that's probably gone by now. I've been leaving and coming back over the years due to health and life circumstances, but I've been consistently back on for a while.
Anyways, I'm an #opensource web developer (#php / #vue), #punk / #metal musician, #anarchist, #antifascist as hell, #feminist, #ally, and hater of #bigtech and what #ai is doing to our planet. Speaking of our planet, I am a #vegan for health and ethical reasons, but I am not going to be shitty towards people if they're not.
I'm in the process of building out my own little spot on the #indieweb / #smallweb so I can return to running my mouth on a blog.
If I followed you, it's probably because we have common interests, or I enjoy your brand of #shitposting. Or you've activated my inner-geek with #startrek and #videogames.
Anyways, thanks for reading all of this. I hope the attached picture of Marvin the Mushroom has brightened your feed in some way.

Sábado à noite aqui e eu fazendo uma volta ao "passado" (2021 foi ontem!) e pesquisando sobre uma história curiosa: para quem não sabe, a rede social do Trump, Truth Social, usa o código do Mastodon como base e quando foi lançada não deu os créditos devidos.
O Mastodon é um software livre publicado sob a licença #AGPLv3, que exige que qualquer serviço que o utilize torne seu código-fonte e quaisquer modificações nele acessíveis publicamente. Significa que se alguém quiser copiar o Mastodon e criar uma outra plataforma baseado no código dele, precisa também abrir o código-fonte para todo mundo ver e usar. O princípio é mais ou menos o de que, se vc usa o código (trabalho) alheio gratuitamente, concorda em compartilhar o resultado do seu trabalho com todo mundo também.
O Eugen, conhecido como Eugênio no mundo lusófono, o criador do Mastodon, precisou notificar a empresa do Trump para que eles dessem os créditos e abrissem e publicassem o código-fonte da plataforma Truth Social.
Veja a assimetria da relação: um dos mais conhecidos projetos do Fediverso fazendo frente com o presidente dos EUA pedindo para eles respeitarem a licença do software. Significa que a empresa do Trump que dizia que eles mesmo tinham feito a Truth Social, foram obrigados a reconhecer que copiaram o código da mais conhecida rede social alternativa, o Mastodon. Feito por uma pessoa e mantido por uma comunidade que tem absoluta rejeição à pessoa do Trump e a tudo o que ele representa.
Hoje é possível encontrar uma seção na rede trumpista que menciona os dois projetos de código aberto em que a plataforma Truth Social se baseia (Mastodon para o backend e Soapbox para o frontend) e, nessa página, é disponibilizado um arquivo ZIP com o suposto código-fonte.
Digo "suposto" pois não significa que aquele código é o que realmente está sendo usado atualmente.
Mas sempre tem gente muito bacana nesse mundo, né? E o Evan Boehs decidiu investigar o que tinha nesse código-fonte e comparar com a plataforma online. Óbvio que o código não batia - o arquivo zip não estava atualizado. Ele notificou a empresa do Trump e depois de alguma demora, ele recebeu o código "atualizado". Segue o link para o código-fonte de 2022: github.com/boehs/truthsocial/t…
E outra pessoa muito bacana chamada Jasmin pegou esse novo código e comparou com o do Mastodon para saber o que a equipe do Trump mudou, e em breve vou postar um resumo em português aqui que é bem interessante. Spoiler: eles excluíram a conexão com o resto do Fediverso, entre outras coisas.
OpenAI’s autonomous AI agents involved in cyberattack on RubyGems
A swarm of AI bots attacked the open-source platform RubyGems in May. AI experts traced the source back to OpenAI.

So, I’m considering forking an #OpenSource project. If you know my career, this isn’t new to me.
However, the motivation is fairly unusual: The project has user-hostile versioning. Breaking changes keep getting hoisted to users and the maintainer “uses SemVer” but refuses to go above 1.0.0. (And users are big mad but they don’t seem to care).
So, the plan is to create a commit-level tracking version but bumping it to a major version on every breaking change.
Anyone seem anyone do thar before?

Un génocide est l'extermination physique, intentionnelle et systématique, totale ou partielle, d'un groupe humain en raison de ses origines nationales, ethniques, raciales ou religieuses.
Tel que defini dans la Convention pour la prévention et la répression du crime de génocide (adoptée par l'ONU en 1948). Plus de 150 pays ont ratifié cette convention au fil du temps pour s'engager à PUNIR et PREVENIR ce crime. La #France l'a ratifiée en octobre 1950.

@jockr There are 2 public Canadian Deltachat servers that can be signed up to, here and now. One is https://toque.im, the other is https://chtml.ca.
Once one is signed up for (creating a new account doesn't require your email, phone number, name, nothing like that), the second can be added as a backup "relay" server, and it'll automatically fail over, *should the first server ever go down*.
It's free, there are no ads, and encryption is automatic and mandatory. For #dataSovereignty, it's a great start. #Canada #ElbowsUp

RE: https://mastodon.online/@AppleVis/117255266963378784
From what I glean, Dystopia is the most stable app, but I worry the developer is no longer active to continue developing the app.
The community in R/dystopia is very active, and recently, I brought up a suggestion to encourage the dev to open source the app.
I feel like making the app open source would allow for the community to take over the development and continue the life of the app, allowing Blind people continued stable access to reddit on iOS.

A backup is only useful if you can restore from it. For important files, keep at least three copies, use two types of storage, and keep one copy somewhere separate from your main device. Test the backup by restoring a few files occasionally.

KDE has a new proper LTS and Joe is very interested, the Steam Frame is (really) nearly here, the Epic Games Store is coming to Linux, Nintendo continues to play whack-a-mole with Switch emulators, and GitHub’s serious scaling issues are getting ridiculous.
What if your browser could run an LLM locally without sending the data to a server?
That’s exactly what Ben Houston explores with Three-LLM, a WebGPU-based inference engine built on top of Three.js.
The project demonstrates how Three.js can go far beyond 3D rendering by using its WebGPU capabilities to execute LLM inference directly on the user’s GPU. It supports models including GPT-2, SmolLM2, Phi, Qwen, and Llama-style architectures, loading standard Hugging Face checkpoints directly in the browser.
What makes this particularly interesting from an engineering perspective is the optimization work. By reducing GPU command submissions, avoiding unnecessary prompt logits, reusing prompt prefixes, and moving sampling operations onto the GPU, the project achieves significant performance improvements.
For example, one optimization increased TinyStories decode performance from roughly 120 to 566 tokens/sec, a 4.7x improvement.
The bigger takeaway: WebGPU is increasingly turning the browser into a viable compute platform for AI inference.
Running smaller models locally could have major implications for privacy, latency, offline applications, and AI-powered experiences that don’t require a traditional backend inference service.
And this is just the beginning. FP16, quantization, better prefill performance, and kernel fusion could push browser-based inference considerably further.
A fascinating look at where WebGPU, JavaScript, and local AI are heading.

Pixelix is now free!
After two and a half years of developing Pixelix and having it as a paid app, we've decided to switch things up and make Pixelix free for everyone.
We’re really excited to see where this takes Pixelix, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us so far.
