#ActivityPub is the default social networking protocol because we took the time to standardise it at the W3C.
You don't have to be part of the W3C to build on top of ActivityPub. You can make extensions and new applications without ever dealing with a formalised standards organisation.
But the benefit of having the W3C behind us is crystal clear. There have been dozens of distributed social networks, and none has gotten as much traction as AP and AS2.
It looks like "youtube" is covered already, but any #scuttlebutt about that is appreciated. The knowledge about what's best or hot at any time is also federated 😕
Überwachung: Interpol baut Big-Data-System Insight für "vorhersagende Analysen"
Interpol entwickelt eine Plattform, um riesige Datenmengen aus mehreren Quellen wie Social Media in unterschiedlichen Formaten effizient verarbeiten zu können.
Systeme, um nur die "riesigen Datenmengen", die frei verfügbar sind, durchzusehen und zu bewerten, müssen erst noch entwickelt werden.
Aber dann uns versuchen einzureden, dass die anlasslose Überwachung unserer privaten Kommunikation dem Ziel der der Bekämpfung von <hier beliebigen Vorwand einfügen - sind wir noch bei Kindern oder schon wieder bei Terrorismus?> dient. Als wären die überhaupt in der Lage, die jetzt bereits zu Verfügung stehenden Daten adequat zu verarbeiten.
De la buée sur les vitres de la fenêtre dont nous n'avions pas fermé les volets. C'est la première fois depuis le printemps. Les nuits commencent à être fraîches, eh oui.
"Wohnungsbaugipfel": Bauministerin für Kurswechsel bei Energiesparvorschriften
Das Hin und Her über das Heizungsgesetz hat viele Bürger verschreckt. Vor dem "Wohnungsbaugipfel" am Montag gibt es nun Kritik an Energiesparstandards.
"Das Hin und Her über das Heizungsgesetz hat viele Bürger verschreckt."
Nein. Die von Medien verbreiteten Lügen und das von der FDP passend koordinierte scheinbare Hin und Her hat die Bürger verschreckt. Genau wie geplant. Denn das Ziel war immer schon, den Fortschritt auszubremsen, damit Unternehmen die Menschen noch so lang wie möglich auszunehmen können. Jeder Tag weiter in die Sackgasse minimiert die Verluste der darin tätigen Unternehmen auf Kosten der Bürger.
Inventaire.io https://inventaire.io/welcome - Manage your physical books or other items (board games perhaps) and keep track of who has what when lending or borrowing items. ActivityPub enabled.
Thedesk.top - A bit overwhelmingly full-featured alternative UI to Mastodon/Firefish/Misskey/*key forks. Some aspects may be very confusing but for some, the workflow and customization it provides are powerful.
Hey y’all, it’s been a while. Had a rough month with a flare up of my chronic pain. Doing better now and had a chance to recharge. And I’m so dying to get back to contributing to the #fediverse community ✨❤️
My #kbin account seems broken? :\ For the last month+ I can't get any thread I create to show up in its magazine, even when the magazine is a local one. Comments are fine, microblog posts are fine, threads show up in my profile but never the magazine.
Admittedly I don't try very often, but that makes it all the more disheartening when I feel like "yay, I finally have something worth sharing" and, well, no apparently I don't.
@harmonea you may be blocking a domain, which causes a bug detailed here. tl;dr blocking any domain on kbin.social right now hides any non-link entries and comments on them. removing them all fixes it, it's fixed in latest which hopefully the main site gets soon
"Wir möchten Behörden davon überzeugen, ihren Einsatz von Sozialen Medien zu überdenken. Das ist mit dem schrittweisen Übergang zu föderierten Freien-Software-Lösungen möglich. "
About half of the Fediverse addresses typed by FediForum attendees into the session notes are missing the leading "@".
People typed in their very own Fediverse handles. And because they came to FediForum, it's very likely they are very well acquainted with the right syntax.
Pretty strong circumstantial evidence that most people won't be able to distinguish Fediverse handles from e-mail addresses.
I have long believed that they should be the same.
pie-in-the-sky feature request for #fediverse / #mastodon : instead of having to censor a whole image or post, have specific categories we can check, like "nudity" "sexual" "eye contact" "spider" etc so that only people who have that filtered out won't see it (or will see the censorship blur) and those of us who aren't filtering it out won't have to deal with it being preemptively censored? (maybe make all the categories "opt in," like "I AM okay with seeing this"
I'm so excited about federating #Flipboard to the #Fediverse! We are getting closer every day.
I just recently saw a demo from our engineering team of a Flipboard account being fully federated and followable from #Mastodon. Now we need to interpret all the engagement signals (commenting, favoriting, etc) properly. This includes designing what Flipboard users should see when they click on Mastodon users who reply to them and vice versa. A bunch more to do but we are making serious progress.
