I just finished the 1st episode of the last #BlackMirror season. It hurt my feelings. And it feels very related to our current situation.

That's what would happen if we let corporations interested in maximum profit be the sole owners of the tech, and then control us.

And they are already doing so. We don't have a #FOSS #searchengine which works as good as #Google or #DuckDuckGo. Such these examples are very common.

And #AI/#ML techs are in hand of big techs, suited for them and not for the people. Of course, they publish the papers as #openscience. But what use is that when their models are built for expensive GPUs which a small company can't afford. Let alone common people like me.

Some people believe the way to fight these is regulation. But I highly doubt it. You can always find holes in the law. That's what lawyers commonly do.

But if we work on #opensource, on #opensourceai and on #OpenCulture, we can have a FOSS and #decentralized search engine which performs as good as the current mainstream search engines. Then Google will be automatically removed.

So next time someone asks me why I am a FOSS and #decentralization advocate, and why I so persistently pursue my goal of "AI for people"(and #wakegp as part of it), I'm gonna tell them watch few Black Mirror episodes so that they may understand which path chose the world has chosen for us, unless we choose a different path ourselves.

Ctrl-ZINE is an independent smol web project, and its Issue 17 Vol. 2 happens to contain pieces by two of my favorite people on the fediverse. @rootcompute has a great piece here about his time on and thoughts about the fediverse, and @ttntm wrote a love letter to one of my own favorite games here, Diablo II.

@maxlath a présenté Inventaire (en français) lors des @jdll 2025, la semaine dernière.
Et grâce a leur superbe organisation (un grand merci à elleux) tout le monde peut désormais en profiter :

As creation gets democratized, capital cries "deprofessionalization!" But are all those meta-roles in corporations really serving us — or just maintaining power structures? Let’s rethink what overhead ought to be in a world where anyone can build.

"Germany Plans Global Alternative to PubMed."
https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/features/115790

"ZB Med, or the German Library of Medicine, has launched an effort to create an #OpenSource global literature infrastructure which its developers are calling a #PubMed "alternative." They say there's a need to create such a service in case U.S. funding is curtailed or the quantity or quality of its 37 million citations fall victim to politicization, or a DOGE-like chain saw attack of its trained personnel."

With the introduction of #decentralization into @badgefed I learned the concept of "wallet". A microcredentials wallet.

So, I made progress towards that goal, where users can see and manage their badges. Similar to #badgr, but decentralized, it does not matter from what badgefed (or other microcredentials) instance you are searching, you will be able to manage your badges. Hey! You can even self-host your own wallet and just receive badges there by following issuers!

Things are getting polished in time for the @fediforum , see you there!

The final post in my decentralization series is here: The tech is ready; governance is the real bottleneck. If we want flexibility and resilience, we need trust that scales, even in the enterprise.

There's now an #IPFS #ServiceWorker Gateway that supports subdomain resolution!

To make content on the IPFS network accessible in a web #browser, you need a #HTTP gateway. This one automatically adds a service worker, speeding up subsequent access and improving #decentralization:
