I will be speaking at Berlin Fediverse Day 2025 https://berlinfedi.day/en/
My talk title and description are a stub, because I am still thinking about what I want to say. I am taking this talk very seriously.
Everything seems urgent and important. I believe:
- Decentralized media is the only media we have left amidst fascism
- The fediverse and the ATmosphere are the best hopes we have. But neither are sufficient.
- What are our real threats
- What we're doing at Spritely
- What we can all do -

- What are our real threats
- What we're doing at Spritely
- What we can all doI am trying to balance this against the fact that I have said some of these things at my recent Fediforum keynote. I'm not against repeating themes, I do it often, but I don't want it to sound like it will be the same talk.
And it won't be.
Because a lot has happened, and because I haven't said everything yet.
I'm worried about the here and now, and I'm worried about our future. And I want us to build. I want us to thrive.

@cwebber@social.coop I dunno, like, sure its adoption has been better, but like, it's still behind hubzilla in portability
Too bad hubzilla is so half-baked. Either way, agreed, the portable identity is a desperately missing part of fedi.
That being said, it seems as though the things atproto offers are mostly smoke and mirrors enabled by the centralized architecture.
Though, tbh, I am mostly not there for it, and thus may be dismissing it in ways that are unproductive.
I think i'll stand with my opinions on its moderation though -

@dawn It's fine! There will be some fresh critique/analysis of both ATProto and the present-day fediverse in my talk, that I can promise

balu Why are you planning to have the user step through Cognito for authentication if you're not intending to use the NodeBB frontend at all?
If you already have the Cognito user, you could use the NodeBB API (using a master token) to create a user, and store your own association between the cognito id and the nodebb uid.
Then just keep using the master token to make calls on behalf of whichever user. Use the ?_uid= parameter to distinguish calls between different users.

systems for information he then sold to a U.S. lobbying firm and foreign clients, used access to those CIA systems as “his own personal Google,” according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media and Court Watch.
Dale Britt Bendler, 68, was a long running CIA officer before retiring in 2014 with a full pension. He rejoined the agency as a contractor and sold a wealth of classified information, according to the government’s sentencing memorandum filed on Wednesday. His clients included a U.S. lobbying firm working for a foreigner being investigated for embezzlement and another foreign national trying to secure a U.S. visa, according to the court record.
💡Do you know anything else about this case? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.“In total, between July 2017 and September 2020, Defendant earned approximately $360,000 in private client fees while also working as a full-time CIA contractor with daily access to highly classified material that he searched like it was his own personal Google,” the document says. “He violated his oaths, broke the law, and should be held accountable.”
In his contractor role, Bendler had a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance, which granted access to some of the most sensitive information in the U.S. government. In 2017, Bendler started working for a foreign national who was being investigated by his home country for allegedly embezzling money from the country’s sovereign wealth fund, according to the court record. Bendler was paid $20,000 a month to help mount a public relations campaign that could rebut those embezzlement allegations and lobby government officials, it adds. The document says Bendler searched classified U.S. government systems to see what information they contained about the foreign national.
Bendler then sent a proposal to a U.S. lobbying firm working with the foreign national, the document says. That included Bendler’s plan to publish online articles and messages “to influence the American public and using his prior relationships with government officials on the National Security Council and in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to influence U.S. policy,” it reads. This proposal included classified information, including SECRET//NOFORN information which is not supposed to be shared with anyone from another country, the document says.
In the second case, the foreign national had been accused of laundering money for a foreign terrorist organization. Bendler then searched CIA systems for information related to this person, according to the court record.
“In many ways, Defendant was able to use the fact that his job was so sensitive and classified as both a sword and a shield,” the document reads. “He wielded it as a sword when he abused his access to classified information and he relied on it as a shield to hide his criminal activity. The dualism of secrecy inherent in Defendant’s job is another reason why it is important to send a strong message at sentencing and deter other former members of the intelligence community from breaking the law to make some extra money.”

@pondolo grazie buona serata anche a te 🐞

“La solitudine, si sa, non tutti se la possono permettere. Non se la possono permettere i vecchi. Non se la possono permettere i malati. Però, sostanzialmente, quando si può rimanere soli con se stessi, io credo che si riesca ad avere più facilmente contatto con il circostante. Il circostante non è fatto soltanto di nostri simili. Direi che è fatto di tutto l’universo, dalla foglia che spunta di notte in un campo fino alle stelle. E ci si riesce ad accordare meglio con questo circostante, si riesce a pensare meglio ai nostri problemi e, credo, addirittura, che si riescano a trovare delle migliori soluzioni. E, siccome, siamo simili ai nostri simili, credo che si possano trovare soluzioni anche per gli altri. Mi sono reso conto che un uomo solo non mi ha mai fatto paura.....

I’m Reem, a 19-year-old from Gaza.
My dream is to live a normal life, attend university, and plan my future — but instead, I’m running from airstrikes and trying to feed my displaced family.
Every day survival gets harder, and any support, no matter how small, gives us safety and hope.
