Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

I fully expect #Laravel to start deprecating the `Attribute` cast starting with Laravel 13.x.

I have, quite literally, no argument to use Attribute casts over Property Hooks. Plus, because these are native, there is no overhead.

«Es bedeutet was, wenn die #CIA von Anfang an dabei ist»

#Palantir in der Schweiz

In Altendorf im Kanton Schwyz entsteht der Europa-Standort des Unternehmens Palantir [ #Thiel ]. Das #Geschäftsmodell der Firma: Daten zusammenführen und verknüpfen. Hernani Marques, Sprecher des Chaos Computer Club Schweiz, sagt, was er davon hält.

srf.ch/news/wirtschaft/palanti…

"Das eine ist, dass die Kundenliste von Palantir praktisch schon aus #Polizei und #Geheimdiensten im westlichen Raum besteht. Das liest sich wie das Who-is-Who des ganzen militärisch-industriellen Komplexes. Das andere ist, dass es schon etwas bedeutet, wenn die CIA von Anfang an dabei ist...."
