Fascist far-right NSW premier Chris Minns has authorised the use of police force against peaceful protestors standing against genocide in NSW during genocide-enabler Herzog's illegal visit, meanwhile 13 state and federal NSW MPs have broken ranks to oppose Minns fascist weaponization of the police force to ban rightful protests..

Wiby is a search engine for the “classic web” and small web that shows the websites that Google tends to bury. Has a great randomizer button for discovery, too!

Open source sustainability thoughts from “Mr 11ty” @zachleat. Love that he’s found a symbiotic commercial relationship with @FontAwesome. Looking forward to what’s next for @11ty. overcast.fm/+AA-SZeh8B8A

@roughnecks I hope other services and platforms start getting the hint!

Here's the full thing:

Hello,

we would like to share an important update regarding our support system and how we handle tickets going forward.

After carefully reviewing customer feedback over the past weeks, we have decided to officially discontinue the AI-based support assistant, effective February 2nd, 2026.

The AI system was introduced as an experimental, beta feature with the goal of speeding up responses for simple requests. However, based on feedback from our community, it’s clear that this approach did not meet expectations and, in many cases, created frustration rather than improving the support experience.

We’ve listened to your feedback, and for this reason, all support will now be handled exclusively by our human support team.

@Palleas @11ty yeah that's what I was thinking, that would give you the individual pages on your site without switching to separate posts.

I walk my dog every morning and we bump into the same dogs each time 😅

@Palleas @11ty nice! I'm not sure what the advantage might be of separating the data out into post files? You could probably dynamically created posts at build time if you wanted them to have their own pages.

But the more important question is, are they unique dog counts or can you count the same dog more than once? 🐕

Or actually, if you wanted to use something like #pagescms to manage your content that might be a reason to have seperate files, maybe.

@Palleas @11ty are you importing them from elsewhere or just updating the data file each time?

@lagrange thanks, yeah it crashes as soon as you tap the icon - the logo flicks up then disappears.

I've tried in/re-installing several times, reset phone, etc with no luck. I'm not sure I can access those files but I'll give it a shot.

@lagrange I had the browser working on my old Android phone but I've switched to a Pixel 6 Pro with Android 16 and the app crashes every time. I tried installing older versions from GitHub and the same thing happens. Do you know what might be causing it?

> Let this prove that ethical algorithms are not only needed, they win.

Let what prove? I'm lost.

What makes your algorithm more ethical than any social media algorithm? How is Loops removing the temptation to use content discovery algorithms to amplify or suppress content?

@cory oh bum, we just watched her in A Series of Unfortunate Events (the TV version, but she's actually in both!).

We're thrilled to announce our new project:
docs.coop/

Building on the great work of Suite Numerique (docs.numerique.gouv.fr/home/), we are offering an opportunity to be part of a new collaborative Docs platform as a service, that provides an ethical alternative to Google Docs, Office 365, Notion etc.

Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🥖 (DINUM) and German 🥨 (ZenDiS) governments which represents a paradigm shift in the way open source software is funded.

A screenshot of the Docs interface with a  document open and some test text in there including a screenshot from the awesome movie Hackers.

@coffeenlanguage is it self hosted? You might be able to FTP in and disable the 2FA plugin.

Aussies, want to see public security reviews of essential secure services like myGov login?

Donate to the openmygov project!

Hey #webdev folks, I've decided I need to update my #css and #html skills. What are some good online resources to get me up to date? Ideally open and free given their open and free nature ☺️

For context, I've been cobbling HTML together since about 1997 and CSS not long after. My practices are probably outdated (but work, damn it) and I've been spoiled by builders and graphical interfaces over the years.

Thank you!
