A way to access social media content read only without an account, with HTML, RSS/Atom and at some point ActivityPub probably. I will probably post here in a few weeks when PoC will up.

His point, exactly.

New comment by flaburgan in "Fable 5 is available in Zed"

Email received:

Anthropic's newest model, Claude Fable 5, is available in Zed. You can try this model via your own API keys, and it's also available to Pro and Business users.

Fable 5 requires 30-day data retention. This is a break from our standard arrangement with Anthropic, where every other model in Zed today runs under zero data retention: no training on your prompts or code, no retention of inference requests.

Anthropic's reasoning: Fable 5's capabilities introduce risks that real-time filters can't catch on their own.

If you want to maintain ZDR, don't use Fable 5. Every other model in Zed, including the rest of the Claude family, still operates under our standard ZDR commitments.

That's actually where AI differs: there is no network effect. So no reason for me to stay with a tool if suddenly another one is better or cheaper. Changing the model I use is literally two clicks in Zed. No retention possible for providers.

I think it actually is even more relevant today than 10 years ago, as the only real production use case I can imagine for it is specialized industrial software written only for XP that no one wants to update to w10 because of the risk of breaking production but which are running on a not supported anymore OS full of vulnerabilities. If really ReactOS achieves parity then that's a possible niche.

What we need is gitlab to finally integrate ActiviyPub so we can fork, comment, open merge request on all gitlab instances from our personal instance. Git is already decentralized, this isn't that hard to do.

flaburgan — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 21:55:13 +0000

I feel you mate. When people were scrolling Facebook, I was scrolling github, being so excited to see so many people building things together. Commits popping up in my stream were making me feel we were improving the world, bit by bit. It was an happy stream, compared to the depressing stream of Facebook. And then Microsoft bought github. And I knew it would only be a matter of time before it would fell down. It also made little sense to build all our beloved open source projects in the living room of the entity who was so harmful to our community for years. So I left github and joined several gitlabs. But I never found back this central steam of "look at open source being made in real time". We need a decentralized gitlab with ActivityPub.

It still is risky, as who knows what tools NSA & cie really have. Even if it feels safe now, it can be stored by them, and what will (quantum?) computers be able to do in a decade? And how will the US gov look like at that time?

flaburgan — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:32:01 +0000

I am using duckduckgo for a decade. But especially, I am using Firefox Saved searches a lot. I type mdn in the bar, and it searches in the Mozilla developer network. osm is openstreetmap, so is stackoverflow, w is Wikipedia, yt is YouTube... I often know on which website I will find the info anyway, so I use less a generic search

Ubuntu Touch is not dead though, I use it happily on my primary device for 8 years. It's working like a charm. And waydroid allows you to run APKs, even if some bank apps may not work.

Could anyone provide me some clarifications?

If I understood correctly, to "protect" users, Google wants to control what is installed on Android phones. I guess it means the Play store will be the only way to install an app, which in turn means: - That users won't be able to install what they want and that they would need a google account to install apps - That app developers have to go through google to distribute their apps, with identity verification etc. Obviously this is awful and would mean the end of F-droid and Aurora store etc. However, I'm also reading here and there that it is a threat to alternative ROMs. To me it sounds at the contrary as an amazing opportunity, as they can strip this verification and be the only truly open Android, or am I missing something? Why do people link this app verification thing with a possible closing of AOSP?

Also, Mozilla was already saying it 10years ago with Firefox OS but... The web is the platform. 90% of the apps out there could be websites. We have all technologies needed for this including offline with service workers. And it works on every damn platform, even the most obscure OS has a web browser. Don't want to be locked to an ecosystem? Just target the web!

>The impact is a direct threat to independent AOSP distributions like Murena's e/OS/ (which I'm personally using). If installing a basic APK eventually requires a Google-verified developer ID, maintaining a truly de-Googled mobile OS becomes nearly impossible.

I have trouble understanding why this is a threat to AOSP distribution. I would have said quite the opposite actually, I don't see why they would not remove the verification and that's an incentive for people to use their project instead of Google Android.

How do you install the bank app if google does not allow you to install APKs manually / with a 3rd party store? You have to go with Google Play. Which requires a Google account. So I can't do it. That's the whole point of this thread: it would not be possible to use Android without a Google account.

flaburgan — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 23:09:28 +0000

Sure, but at some point the idea is to train an LLM on these downloaded files no? I mean what is the point of getting them if you don't use them. So sure, this won't be interpreted during the crawling but it will become part of the knowledge of the LLM
