We social code the social code. All together. To weave harmonious & humane societies.
Thank you, all #socialcoders, for giving your #2cts. Because of you all here, people who matter, I too continue to give a πͺ

It adds up, our work, my fellow fedizens. Our values accrue, because of you! It feels #magic, these πͺ

Reach out to each other in the new year, make new connections, and let's reap more rich wealth and plenty from humanity's and freedom's treasure chests.
#Coding is #Social.
In this talk at an #AI conference, you only need to watch the conclusion at the end. Only watch 2 secs. until you heard this..
Software is a human endeavor [..] AI changes everything about how we code. But in fact I don't think it changes anything about how #software fails.

BOOM.. #CodingIsSocial. Period.
Human endeavor to satisfy human needs and package them into proper solutions.

οΈ #SX focus shift..
Attn: This is now an π«
outreach channel of Social coding commons, under custodianship and tender care of humane tech community gardeners.
Specifically this a πͺ΅
#dreamlog..
My personal account has moved (temporarily) to @humanetech@pixelfed.social in a custodianship (janitoring) π©
With my support by @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl ending, how I continue to foster and nourish my work, depends on π±
sustenance I manage to find, as I am out of money totally.
Such is #FOSS life, hence focusing on #SOSS now, really :)
Nearing 2026, I reflect on all those π
lovely passionate people I've met since I joined this delightful #commons. #FOSS, #fediverse, social impact movements. Rich #culture thrives.
It proves to me Rutger Bregman's words ring true: "Most people are pretty decent". Same credo I've styled my life around.
Fear not dear commons.
π§Ά
Weave!
β¨
We will ignite,
π
Bring sunshine where it poors.

Based on hope we find #solutions!
You brought me here today,
Our futures is bright,
Where mystic fedi flows.

CALL TO FEDIVERSE
Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.
What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.
The #ActivityPub @forgefed@floss.social project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl is creating open standards to provide the same, native to the #fediverse!
Yet they need HELP.

#idiocracy
Ah, its @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu making a mockery of #democracy again by pushing #ChatControl for the Nth time. The misguided deceitful #Orwellian overreach regulation no one wants. Good way to erode some more of that much needed #trust of civilians in #politics.
And of course:
#EU politicians exempt themselves from this #surveillance under "professional secrecy" rules. They get #privacy. You and your family do not. Demand fairness.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu
I feel and consider myself an #EU citizen, and I want to love and embrace the EU democratic system. See it mature further and improve. But with all these shenanigans going on all of the time, it gets no further than a love/hate relationship.
These continuous #ChatControl π
up-yours to EU residents, and a whole range of other similar issues - the dystopic and murky side of the EU regulators, the ugly side - are tremendously detrimental to what the #EuropeanUnion wants to achieve.
Delightful commons news π₯
Thanks to @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl I was able to give new impetus to delightful commons, and yesterday added new sections to the #fediverse experience list:
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience
New sections added under Fediversity:
- ActivityPub bots
- Browser extensions
- Fediverse metrics
- Tools and utilities
- Mastodon API based
π₯³
Even better.. There is a new delightful list created and maintained by @lmemsm@fosstodon.org and collecting delightful #X11 resources.
Check it out at:
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-x11
The delightful #ActivityPub development list has been renamed. Now the 3 fedi-related lists are:
- delightful-fediverse-experience
- delightful-fediverse-clients
- delightful-fediverse-development
The #fediverse development list has largely been stripped of non-developer resources, which moved to fediverse experience.
The fediverse development list should now be reorganized to be most useful to the dev crowds who wanna join the fedi adventure.
