Solid conclusion! I had seen headlines but never actually read excerpts of the Pope's encyclical. Much to your article's point, I suspect, I never would have expected the head of the Catholic church to produce writing and arguments so relevant to the current state of the fedi.

Merci pour l'explication sur l'âge du compte ; ça me faisait très bizarre de voir le badge « admin » côtoyer celui de « compte très jeune ».
Bon courage pour le taf d'admin et merci pour ton volontariat !
I don't know about heavier vehicles like vans or trucks, but in my parent's Renault Zoé the Regen braking is strong enough to slow the car down from like 50km/h to 30km/h when going downhill. It might be enough to bring the car to a standstill, I've never actually tried letting it be - usually there's a car behind me or I need to get somewhere in time so I can't afford to experiment.
Brakes are still important for emergency/manual speed adjustments, of course. Just wanted to share my experience with "how well does regen braking work downhill?"
Vic Lagina, who was a lead producer and director for the porn production company Brazzers for 16 years and is the author of Filthy!: The Rise and (Pending) Death of Vic Lagina, welcomes it. “As a former business owner in porn, the prospect of completely eliminating humans from the equation in porn production would be extremely enticing,” he wrote in an email to Playboy, celebrating an end to “self-serving attitudes of performers, … questions about revoked consent despite whatever rigid protocols are in place, … bad hygiene, … and waiting for wood from a shaky male performer” before concluding: “It sounds like a dream.”
huh.
Ah, so it's more like Imgur for the fediverse. I imagine it would be possible for multiple servers to share a picts-rs instance, even if in practice it never happens.
It reads like they're basically making an alternative to picts-rs, or am I missing some key difference?
I didn't read any mention of the Public Key Directory server approach/proposal (c.f. https://soatok.blog/2025/12/15/announcing-key-transparency-fediverse/) in the post nor the two pages it links to. I think overall E2EE is important for messages, full stop, but I do hope that it won't be as user - opaque as Signal and WhatsApp nor as rough of a user experience as how matrix was when I used it back in 2019.
As soon as I can assemble my own polycule, this will be the first game we play.
Followed by Slay the Spire 2 co-op.
That's great to hear!
I'm disappointed there's no threadiverse integration.
The basic grunt work of bringing together bluesky and mastodon feeds is pretty decently done, if a bit opinionated.
I like the concept and presentation of their feed "packages", but for most of the feeds I've been proposed in the app I'm not interested in the entire package. It's nice that you can still directly follow the actors packaged into a feed from that feed's page.
It's very annoying that Surf wants their/my Surf account to act as the intermediary for my mastodon account. From what I can see, this means I need to exit the app to take some action with my mastodon account. Maybe I just haven't found the option, but if there isn't one then it's a hard blocker for me to use it as my main fediverse browser.
It's been a while since I set up my runner, and I have it on my personal desktop (which is wayyyyyy beefier than the VPS I host my forgejo instance on), but I'm pretty sure I was able to specify that only my user account can trigger actions to be run on this runner. What I'm getting at is that there is a decent amount of granularity for forgejo action permissions; you should be able to find a balance that suits you between "no actions at all" and "anyone can run any code they desire on your server".
I'm surprised that you're talking about models being CUDA-specific or AMD-specific. I've had a bunch of models running on my amd-only pc, using ollama, lemonade, and lm-studio, through either rocm or vulkan. None of these models were billed as AMD-specific. I had to do some config tweaking for ollama to use my graphics card but that's more because I have a weird in-between-generations card that also predates the LLM hype (6700XT).
However, I did generally need to look for the GGUF format versions of things - usually accounts like unsloth have them uploaded on huggingface barely a day or two after the original version gets posted.
