Non "più utili alla crescita" bensì "più probabili nei sistemi in crescita".
Un altro buon esempio è costituito dai tumori, le cui cellule mutano in modo imprevedibile: il tumore cresce più rapidamente del tessuto ospitante perché svincolato dall'ordine impresso nel DNA originale.
Nota che la crescita di cui parlo non è necessariamente positiva: l'impero romano all'apice della sua estensione era talmente fragile da finire in pezzi sotto la pressione di "barbari"; i sistemi unix hanno raggiunto complessità insostenibili che causano inevitabili vulnerabilità etc...
Allo stesso modo una dimensione ridotta può essere positiva: io per esempio ti sto scrivendo tramite #snac2, un nodo #ActivityPub scritto in C, piccolo ed efficiente.

Imagine you're in a nation that is experiencing genocide. People are being gunned down, bombed, and are starving. Your neighbor would likely kill you for an apple, to save their child.
Money is worthless in this real-life scenario, because the apple is worth more than all the gold in someone's pocket.
It's a scam!

Progress update for Conversational Contexts
This past June, I put together a write-up about two major approaches to backfilling conversations. The ability to properly backfill conversations means we will be able to make major inroads toward solving the feeling that the fediverse is quiet.

워드프레스 액티비티펍 플러그인의 한국어 설명 페이지를 대대적으로 수정했습니다.

Я тут ризикнув оновити #Snac до версії 2.82 і той таки повидаляв мої старі месаги з мого ж серверу. Хто надумає користуватись цим чудо йогуртом - не раджу, ставте #Mitra, там наче такого немає.
Але з мене годі локального #Fediverse: одні бока з вихідними з'єднаннями через дохлі піри отримувачів і приколяси від розробників типу видалення старих повідомлень так ніби це не персональний сервер а чат платформа.
Своє барахло я заобачливо задампив через самописний #snac2nex

А сам інстанс мабуть глушу, тим паче що @madamada в офлайні а мій сервер невпинно намагається слати туди запити подій #ActivityPub, чим нещадно засирає журнал помилок.

#Meta is adding a new feature to #Threads, allowing users to attach up to 10,000 characters of text to posts. This feature, similar to X’s Articles, enables users to format their text and includes a link preview. https://www.theverge.com/news/770391/meta-threads-text-dumps-attachments-10000-characters?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

Just updated #Flipboard's #Wikipedia page to including a tidbit about their Open Social Web ( #Fediverse ) browser client Surf
Seems like the lead should be changed, also, to include something about it, but I will leave that up to other editors.
I added, "In December 2024, Flipboard launched Surf browser, which is a feed reader and Open Social Web ( #Fediverse ) client which supports open protocols like #RSS, Bluesky's #ATProtocol and #ActivityPub."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipboard
Opened a talk section, too, about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Flipboard#Surf_Browser
Remember to COI if you edit and have a relationship with Flipboard. (Conflict of interest (COI))

New uninformed controversial json-ld opinion: expanded json-ld is more developer-friendly than compacted json-ld, because there is only one form (modulo set order), so no processing is required, and there is no need to download and cache contexts from the web to parse it.
Since compacted json-ld is not human readable anyway, the expanded form won’t be worse.
Thus, ActivityPub should recommend only expanded JSON-LD.

Destroying Autocracy – September 04, 2025
Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.
It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.
DA comes out on Thursday and is updated through the end of day on Friday. Then we start over. So take your time in perusing it and check back in over the weekend.
FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.
The Programmer’s Fulcrum is the future (and smaller) home for a fusion of Symfony Station and Battalion. Its tagline is Devs Defending Democracy.
You can sign up now and for 2025 get an email with links to and featured articles for each week’s Symfony Station Communiqué and Battalion “Destroying Autocracy” post along with their featured articles. And you’ll be set with TPF after the fusing.
Featured Item
Scripting of WordLand fame writes:
I want you to see WordPress as comparable to Bluesky or Mastodon.
Internally, the software, WordPress, Mastodon, Bluesky, do a lot of the same things. But because WordPress is so long-lived relative to the other two, it’s more complete, scaled, and it federates easily. Lots of people do it.
WordPress also has excellent support for RSS, especially using a little-known feature called rssCloud. It enables real-time notification of new or changed feed items. And has a deep and powerful API. It’s well designed, documented, and they don’t break it.
BTW, Mastodon and Bluesky lack these.
Think Different about WordPress
Hamish Campbell has made a similar point.
This article is the type of coverage we will feature on The Fulcrum in 2026.
