“The time for dialogue with these people is long gone.” @robin.berjon.com’s opening talk is a call to action to build collective power in opposition to extractive big tech. #pubconf2026

All ready for PublicSpaces Conference 2026! Great vibes!!

the tragedy is that in-principle access to information was *never* easier. The digital tools available are incredible and cheap - or even "free" (open source). Its a historically significant regression for society to reach such a dystopic point in just a couple of decades.

We had/have the same frustration while trying to explain that LLM outputs are also editorial. That LLMs are trained and programmed to answer in a specific way. Access to information is being monopolized, we are living in dangerous times.

📣 We won the European Press Prize Innovation Award. 🎉 Our investigation 'Mole or cancer?' revealed how an AI tool entering Spain's public health system misses 1 in 3 melanomas — and was trained almost entirely on white patients. Thank you. Proud of this work, and the team behind it.

We need to make and shape our own AI systems, and they will only be ours if they are shaped by the data of social movements, of our historical struggles, and of the bits of knowledge not captured by the mainstream narrative. Join us! Help us! Let´s knit the future of our past, together!

This happens to Meta. Governments pushing AI into public infrastructures is a disaster waiting to happen... www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

There can't be Digital Public Infrastructures on private clouds. Period.

Same applies to vibe coded software. The fact that we don't pile them in a landfill doesn't make it less of a problem. norwegianscitechnews.com/2026/05/near...

the replacements.fyi site now lets you drop a package.json into it to see which dependencies can be replaced with native functionality, or more performant choices 🎉

This future is so fukken stupid.

Just leave. I did that almost two years ago and it is less scary than it sounds. Tip: don't think it as an all-in change. Just open a new one, start slowly migrating the important stuff while keeping your gmail around just in case. In no time, all your critical work will be out of it.

Depending on the "depth" of your elements you might be able to get away with using slotted content in the light DOM if you really want to make use of shadow DOM. For application components which aren't going to be shared elsewhere, then not using shadow DOM is a valid choice.

“So, in short: you now have an LLM running on your machine, and any website you visit can make use of it, and whatever processing resources it requires.” The definitive piece on Google participating in the web standards process “the way a bear participates in the ‘camping’ process.”, by @wil.to 👏

I'm really enjoying working with Web Components/Custom Elements except for the styling part. Handling the CSS has multiple challenges. Any resource/materials for it? Any suggestions? #WebComponents #WebDev #CSS

This isn’t like letting kids use a calculator, this is more akin to letting kids smoke. The whole point here is pushing an addictive product and getting kids hooked on it early—not educational best practices. www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

Good post on de-frameworking your frontend from Nuxt/Tailwind to #webcomponents by @wbrowar.com wbrowar.com/article/code...

I see a lot of "Ethical AI" that makes me wonder what do these people understand by ethical. They use the word so lightly. I'm not saying this in a accusatory tone, but clearly ethical standards from one people/country are not the same for others. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I'm wondering what are the plans of all the FOOS Communities living in Github. Is there any Plan B? Backup strategy?

One thing I don't think I see talked about enough is how AI services like Claude Code are psychologically similar to gambling. When you spend tokens you have a chance of a good result, with lots of smaller good results along the way to keep you hooked. No wonder some people say they're "addicted" 😬

Ethics in Programming? Where we're going we don't need ethics in programming.

If LLMs are going to be the new norm, we should push on adopting Web Sustainability Guidelines. If code is cheap and is going to be written/maintained by a machine: shouldn't we push for the machine to write long-term sustainable applications? #FuckReact www.w3.org/TR/web-susta...

Live demo of using CSS to draw a clock in a oscilloscope... This is definitely #TheWebYouWant 😂

I spend my morning browsing the armosphere ecosystem and now at #TheWebYouWant they are inviting everyone to @eurosky.social ! I would call it a good day :)

I tried Sifa today and it looks promising! Migrating it from Linkedin was a breeze. With the current enshitification of Linkedin we need other spaces for Professional Networking.

We’ve been learning a lot about #AI lately, along with our communities. 👇🏾 In this text, @okfn.bsky.social's Tech Lead @pdelboca.me consolidates some of these thoughts and offers his sharp views on one of today's most pressing challenges. #TheTechWeWant #TheAIWeWant buff.ly/MUH9FjB

Acabo de leer a alguien decir que la IA son Interfaces de Autocompletado y me encantó.

A couple weeks ago, Nicholas Keung at the Toronto Star reported on how generative AI is being used to assess immigration applications in Canada...and how it's led to refusals because of stuff the AI tool added in, that humans (clearly) failed to check. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Long live to Web Components!

This is catastrophic.

Absolutely heartbreaking. So many mathematicians I know studied there, men AND women. Maryam Mirzakhani studied there. If this isn't enough to cancel/relocate from the US the International Congress of Mathematicians #ICM2026, nothing will be.

If anyone believes their project should run as public infrastructure - come talk to us. If you believe that running components as public infrastructure is beneficial to the ecosystem and you have institutional funds available - come talk to us. @modalfoundation.eurosky.social Please RT

There are a lot of news going on around Italy's decisions on aiding the USA. If you want solid information follow @smaurizi.bsky.social. She's an excellent journalist with the highest of standards. No one better to follow if you want to know what's going on in Italy.

We are in the midst of an industrial revolution based almost entirely on solar and battery tech. If there's any single reason to have hope for global sustainability it's shit like this. Solar and battery tech is becoming so affordable that it's saving lives at scale by offering affordable cooling.
