@jonn worth noting that their Tor address was still working for me 6 hours ago
Okay, if you want to help #libgen, you can do a very simple thing.
Pick a book you own and would like for others to try before buy or for people who can't afford books to be able to read.
Look it up on libgen.is, open the book page, then click "Torrent per 1000 files". Seed this torrent.
Thank you.
Also, feds have literally watched Aaron die and didn't do shit.
The fact that our old allies like mr. snowden betrayed the West doesn't mean that feds are suddenly the good guys.
Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
It's cool that #projects is trending! Thank you, @simon!
I'll make this a thread about a project I'm contributing to for @pola's https://doma.dev.
It's a system for running test tasks to help hire #unity3d game developers.
We provide a sekeleton of the task and the candidates need to only add small additions to make it into a solution. Then the solutions are pitted against each other to rank them, incidentally ranking the candidates too. Think #ICFPC-lite.
This is the first benchmark AI! Hide your cubes, hide your edges, and hide your vertices too.
What an evening to parse some #webassembly with #lean4, a dependently-typed language.
Ok, Mastodon is officially a lot more awesome than I had realised. There's a federated server for everyone who's really into bitcoin, and, yes, it is full of people who are as awful as you can imagine. But, with one click, you can block the entire domain! 12.8k thousand crypto weirdos filtered out in a click. Amazing.
Sveiki, @agris! Priecīgi tev redzēt mastodonā!
@beka_valentine I want to tell you how grateful I am for opening my eyes to what elon musk is years before it was a widespread knowledge! 🙇 ❤️
The collapse of Twitter is a system breakdown. Mastodon and the fediverse represent something different: _system change_. From for-profit "Big Tech" to nonprofit, open source, community-owned public spaces.
System change is always harder than you think. It always incurs short-term costs, with hoped for long-term benefits.
The next few weeks will be really tough for the fediverse. Stick around, vibe with it, and you just might help us put a huge part of the web back in community hands. <3
