Anthropic just introduced Claude Code Projects - with persistent shared memory across coding sessions and worker threads.

I think that makes another question increasingly important:
- Where should project memory actually live?
- In a conversation?
- In a database?
- In a vendor-specific memory layer?

Or in the project itself - versioned, reviewable and distributed with Git?

That's the direction I've been exploring with Keep the Why.

🤖 Et si on arrêtait de cacher que notre code est construit avec l'aide de l'IA ?

L'IA fait désormais partie du quotidien de nombreux développeurs.

Pourtant, lorsqu'on arrive sur un projet open source, il est souvent impossible de savoir comment elle a réellement été utilisée.

Pour écrire les specs ?
Pour générer le code ?
Pour faire la review ?
Et surtout : quel niveau d'expertise humaine était derrière tout ça ?

J'ai créé built with ai. pour rendre cette information explicite.

Le projet permet de générer un badge SVG à intégrer directement dans le README d'un projet, en déclarant simplement :

• SPEC → HUMAN / AI / HUMAN+AI
• CODE → HUMAN / AI / HUMAN+AI
• REVIEW → HUMAN / AI / HUMAN+AI
• HUMAN EXPERTISE → le niveau d'expertise humaine impliqué

L'idée n'est pas de déterminer si utiliser l'IA est « bien » ou « mal ».

L'idée est beaucoup plus simple : assumer et documenter son usage.

Le projet est open source, et les contributions / retours sont évidemment les bienvenus.

FeedEcho exists because I used and loved Echofeed, the little service that cross-posted your RSS feed to Mastodon, Bluesky, and more. When it was announced that it was shutting down, I knew I would miss it, so I built a service inspired by it.

FeedEcho watches your RSS or Atom feed and sends new posts wherever you want: Mastodon, Bluesky, micro.blog, Matrix, Discord, email, or a plain webhook. Images and alt text come along, multi-image posts work on Mastodon and Bluesky.

It's open source if you want to self-host, and there's a paid hosted version at feedecho.net if you'd rather just point it at your feed and move on. Thanks, Echofeed, for the inspiration and the years of quiet, reliable service.

"Much of Omarchy's success is due to the visibility of Hansson – better known as DHH – the man behind both the distro and the Ruby on Rails web framework. He has attracted considerable attention for posts critical of immigration, including As I remember London and Wolves, sheep, and gypsies."

"The problem of open source developers not getting paid for their efforts is a persistent one in the FOSS world, and yet people and organizations are lining up to pledge money, or tokens, or both, to Omarchy. Its popularity is undeniable, but its creator's politics are likely a contributing factor."

I have given up on #programming. Cuz there was way too much mental pressure on me to tear me down(ie going unconscious).

So during this week I have attended other matters. One of which is translation #CommonVoice, a #crowdsourcing project from #mozilla, into #Achomi or more precisely, #Bandari.

The final goal is having our language in CV. Next, we'll have to collect 1k sentences.

The reason I'm doing translations single handly, is

1. There are different dialects in #Hormozgan. I speak Bandari, me friends from other regions speak #Qeshmi, #Achomi, #Bastaki and so on. I have decided to translate it meself and use Bandari only.
2. Our language hasn't got a standard writing form. People use #Naskh or Perso Arabic script. But I am doing this alone to make sure the writing style will be consistent.

Let's see how it goes.

A hammer misused is dangerous. AI, far more so. Yet among those who sense the danger — among those who feel an almost instinctive revulsion — few ask about the name.

But the name is a program. An act of power. Whoever coined it had a precise intention, and that intention is the real danger: calling the machine intelligent is meant to switch off our own intelligence.

To fight the machine without questioning the name — to accept that it is intelligent — is to start defeated. However fierce the animosity, in your heart you've already dropped your arms. To praise it without judgment is to open the door to a political program that turns the tool into a means of subjection.

Call it an Artificial Narrator instead, and you can govern it — because now you know where the danger lies: not in an intelligence it doesn't have, but in the political program hidden in the name "AI." And you can see its usefulness for what it is.

Screenshot of the speaker card at wpsuomi.fi website. Rolle Laukkarinen Rolle has developed for WordPress since 2005 and has worked with code for about thirty years. He is the founder and CTO of Digitoimisto Dude Oy, where he works as both a developer and a system administrator. He maintains the open source WordPress starter theme air-light, which has over 1100 stars on GitHub. He has been publishing online regularly since 1999. His main interests are accessibility, open source, Linux servers, programming, building his own tools and automation, and keeping the internet open and ethical as a last stand against enshittification. He is the guy who still insists on configuring his IRC client exactly the way he wants it. --- Session Going ACF-free: replacing a plugin dependency with core WordPress Sisu Talk 14:10 – 14:55 Complexity: Hard Intended Audience: Theme developers and agencies maintaining ACF-dependent WordPress sites Advanced Custom Fields has been a default in WordPress work for over a decade, to the point where a lot of sites cannot be maintained without it. Core has caught up considerably since then, particularly in how native Gutenberg blocks handle custom data and how blocks can be registered. Rolle goes through what core offers in place of the features developers lean on most, what changes in how you build once the plugin is gone, and where ACF is still the more sensible choice.

I will be talking at Mindtrek 2026 in Tampere on 6th of October, in the Developers track.

My thoughts on Catodon.

Despite the wrongful misgivings of the lead developer and admin of Catodon's home site (catodon.rocks), I did have every intention of testing its functionality and features. Importing several thousand posts was indeed part of my testing process since I recalled a version of Sharkey where continuing to trigger multiple imports would result in an error. Since I had long ago saved many archives, I figured I was in the best position to test that on Catodon, which inherited its importer from Sharkey.

I won't deny it was nice to see many of my old posts online, especially since much of it was lost due to dog-pile nonsense and admins and mods catering to the mob. But I digress. Overall, I did want to give Catodon a full look-over, and importing was only part of my initiative.

That said, as I mentioned in my previous post, Catodon's developer appears to be well-skilled and was able to expand the functionality of Sharkey's originally limited importer.

For example, Sharkey could never process account archives, which always seemed like an odd thing to exclude. I imagine the most intuitive thing anyone looking to leave a social media site to go elsewhere would be to export their account, which I had previously done myself. Sharkey also did not account for the possibility of the original site being gone, which means importing attachments you had in your archive was useless since Sharkey didn't work with the archive directly. Catodon now has a working solution for this.

But sometimes a user may have too much media to import. If we gave every new user, for example, the option to import 5 GBs, many of those Fedi sites out there would need cash to burn. Still, you want them to be able to import their posts. Catodon now has the option to import text-only posts. Although, I did notice that if a post had a significant amount of text plus a photo, that post might not import, and I think that is something they should work on because the import should still handle the text associated with such a post. Imagine if I added a small fox photo here. It would be a shame if this post wouldn't import given the length of text I have.

Moving away from the importer, Catodon also allows you to create groups, forums, blogs, chat groups, and a lot more features than Sharkey originally had. Certainly, it has more features than Misskey has too.

Despite having a world of features, I didn't notice any lag or performance issues, at least from the front end. Perhaps sometime in the future, I may download a localized copy and explore the back-end. But at the time of this post, I have yet to do so.

The one thing the developer said that made me feel sorry for them was this: "It makes me so happy seeing people use and enjoy Catodon 😄". They don't lack enthusiasm and they don't lack skill, both of which you can admire. No, it is something else.

That said, I would still suggest people have a look.

#Catodon #Sharkey #Misskey #OpenSource

When I brought up Sharkey recently, a few people messaged me asking for my thoughts on Catodon. The project has been around for a few years now, but you don't hear much about it. If you aren't familiar with it, Catodon is a fork of Sharkey, which is itself a fork of Misskey.

If you know me, you know I'm normally not a big fan of projects that amount to being forks of forks of other forks, all relying on each other. Too much upstream dependency can make for messy and troublesome development. It's one of the reasons why, for instance, I don't recommend Linux Mint to anyone, especially new users.

That said, to Catodon's credit — if I understand their changes correctly — they now mostly rely directly on Misskey themselves and are no longer dependent on Sharkey. That doesn't mean they've removed everything they gained from Sharkey. Rather, they are more focused on their own code alongside the direct upstream (Misskey). With that in mind, you should view it as a replacement or direct competitor to Sharkey, much like any other direct Misskey fork.

Let's address the elephant in the room. We will look at the negatives first before moving on to the positives.

Like many Misskey forks, the development is led by dramatic people. Their flagship instance, Catodon.rocks, only lists 59 active users. During the entire two days I was there, only myself and the admin posted. There is likely a good reason why they haven't grown over the past several years. My account was suspended right after I imported my posts, which included both my opinions and evidence of the bad faith behind the scam group Gaza Verified. I'll give credit where it's due. They did warn me they were about to remove my account, but didn't give me enough time to actually do anything about it. I suspected as much, since I knew they were supporters of that group.

Recall that Sharkey's development team has also been dramatic and has outright trolled people in the past. This was especially true when people got upset that, after raising money, the team used their new server to play Minecraft. They also kept the Join Sharkey website offline for over a year, which they never did get professionally redone, and then — three months after playing Minecraft — decided the server would be their personal computer under the guise of "new management."

There is a history of Misskey forks being led by some really talented people who lack the greatest personalities. That said, you don't need to be a people person to code. It would certainly help, and I wish more developers were good people, but that often isn't the case. Regardless, they have skills. The developer of Catodon was able to extend Catodon's functionality in just an hour or two simply by reading a recommendation.

In short, the developer of Catodon is highly skilled, open to constructive criticism and feedback, and both eager and willing to apply it.

Mr. AS: thank you for your thoughtful write-up titled AI and National Security. I was thinking of the anonymous you while I was writing this. PS —My background is learning more about #OpenSource software and researching information security, or #infosec.

The western part of the US media landscape is "going through some things." I am exclusively focused on west coast media. The east coast's entire mentality regarding the coverage of news is about as different from the west coast's mentality as night is from the daytime.

For years, stringent monopolies and big corporations along with a really small number of corporate board members embedded in corporate board rooms have dictated too many of the terms for the public, with respect to how information within the news media is disseminated and broadcasted.

In #Corvallis, Oregon (specifically, over in Albany, Oregon where both the Democrat-Herald newspaper from Albany and the Gazette-Times from Corvallis mutually co-exist in a single building) we now have an east coast billionaire owner who bought Lee Enterprises which includes full and complete ownership of our local newspapers. This rich old fool presently refuses to take on a staff of more than five reporters to represent a total of two towns... each with about 60k people. Albany has a population of 56k people and Corvallis is at around 59k people.

Yes, you read that right. All in all, we have a combined total of 120k people in both Corvallis and Albany and our newspapers' organization will not even hire a dozen people.

The daily issuance or number of pages for the Gazette-Times is around ten pages, maybe... on their good days.

This is 21st century journalism. Nothing is working very well.

We have monopolies, billionaires, and commercial corporate-backed AI to thank for this.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I have just finished meeting up with a young science writer named Freda who lives here in town: https://www.fredakreier.com/

Towards the end, neither of us had anything of substance to talk over... because there is no way for either me or her to start a business — or for either of us to advance or further little revenue streams within the world of small-scale journalism. There is no way for me to start a budget to pay the salaries of two or even three science reporters who would act independently and free of the commercial corporate state of business going on within OUR OWN news media.

That's the reality on the ground in this one county in #Oregon that has some of the highest real estate costs for both business and residential homeowners in the entire state.

The only way that these small-scale stints in the form of news organizations are able to pay their writers and pay for printing costs is through the heavy use of online and print advertising. Many of these outfits have known for years that a lot of written content has migrated away from their brick-and-mortar news organizations and into the online world.

My own activism is why I've been reprimanded by Steve Schultz at the Corvallis Advocate on at least one occasion, from what I can remember. Schultz knew full well that I was an agitator and a change agent of sorts. He cut me off in a procedural way before I could become a freelancer with that online newspaper.

After all this time, we still do not have a way to liberate ourselves of the monopolies nor does this country have a real means to use money for good to change literally almost everything around us.

We now have a shroud covered over all of this country that is imbued with the complete and unfettered brand recognition by the masses for such companies like: OpenAI, Microsoft Azure, and Anthropic.

Instead of applying knowledge and reasoning when thinking about better ways to use software solutions for improving newspaper access — there are only knee-jerk reactions and large instances of unregulated non-compliance in enterprise; while the richest of the rich such as Sam Altman make themselves even wealthier from the labors of us all who keep asking ChatGPT an endless number of trivial questions.

I think America's path is even darker than all of that during this crucial moment of collective survival and wisdom.

The advancement of commercial corporate AI means that people often are unable to think and work on their own and even sometimes the smarter ones such as myself are unable to begin projects on their own without a heavy amount of commensurate over-standing — or acquiescence to the constant bombardment and the ethereal presence of #commercialradar which takes the form of unregulated AI. This AI permeates the digital landscape in both an unabridged and unfettered manner. ...That's what I was trying to suggest before with the idea of: " large instances of unregulated non-compliance in enterprise. "

AI itself is a total fucking mess... Meanwhile, few intelligent software coders agree with each other over the definition of agentic systems. Many nerds and geeks don't even agree on what true, agentic systems could represent, yet. Nobody from Red Hat, or from FSF, or from the Linux Kernel groups, or from the NVIDIA worlds has yet offered up anything substantive in this area for the last three or five years. I'm hoping that this will change pretty soon and maybe the code internals for agentic systems will change for the better.

US dollars have replaced the English language and several forms of communication. The intent of our real voices has been stripped out and substituted instead with shoddy lines used in TV commercials that are surreptitiously being inserted into our sentences by our feeble minds. Because of that wayward, subliminal effect that AI has on all of us while we interface with our computers we are all fucked up in our heads. We are picking up these emanations from our television screens, our smartphone screens, and the Internet.

This particular Leviathan in the form of AI, or just AI acting by itself in the form of dead, digital emanations will certainly destroy our entire world someday — some of them say.

I say again: where is the love?

Anybody else notice that the billionaires are all having a good laugh this year? I'm trained well in the practice of non-violence and I will not be threatening our billionaire POTUS or the outlier billionaire and election agitator Peter Thiel, here.

Their judgement day will arrive soon. Both Thiel and No. 47 are some of the worst people alive. They are sick people with sick ideas.

Money has changed everything for the worse. This may lead to America's continued decline.

Ignore our cornerstones at your own peril, Mr. Babylon.

Our "system" has been stuck in first gear for around the last 48 years or so. We've basically all been hosed by information emanations since the invention of the PC.

Your repository already is a surprisingly good project memory.

README, docs, tests, changelog, configuration and Git history already describe what the project is and how it became what it is.

What repositories usually don't preserve systematically is why.

Why does this workaround exist?
Why was an apparently cleaner solution rejected?
What was investigated and abandoned without ever producing a commit?

AI coding agents make capturing that reasoning cheap enough that we can finally treat it as another ordinary part of the repository.

That's the idea behind repo-native project memory.

No database.
No daemon.
No account.

Just one missing layer next to the code.

OpenRGB 1.0 released to help you control all your fancy gamer lights https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/09/openrgb-1-0-released-to-help-you-control-all-your-fancy-gamer-lights/

#OpenRGB #OpenSource

So the first bits of a new #opensource software program are in the making 🥳 It is extra challenging as I started out in #rustlang and it refuses to do things that are not allowed or properly typed 😄

Testing out how to do asynchronous tasks, repeating ones, working with files. Next step is to check out how to do log, implement a debug option, properly daemonize, and parse configuration files.

And also important, have to come up with a project name 😵

Your repository already is your project's memory.

README → what
docs → how
tests → expected behavior
Git → what changed, when and by whom

Coding agents exposed the missing layer:

context/ → why

Why the workaround exists. Why an approach was rejected. Why something that looks wrong is intentional.

My argument: project memory doesn't need to begin with another database or service. Complete the structure we already have and keep the knowledge with the code.

It's a thesis, not a product. Criticism very welcome.

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.

I hope I'm wrong but feels like eventually XCancel/Nitter will be pressured to shut down permanently

(nitter.kareem.one still works but occasionally)

XCancel service is suspended. Unfortunately, due to a new development in the ongoing legal proceedings, we are required to suspend this service again until further notice. We can't share more details. You can find the content you were looking for on the original website: (button "Continue to X") Thank you for your understanding. And the trust you have put into the XCancel project.
