When people ask me "why did you bother setting up Nextcloud at home, if Google Docs is free?" this is one of the many reasons why:

One of many reasons why there's a justified resistance to #GenAI is that, by letting someone or something else do the work on your behalf, you lose on learning how does the system work, and how to actually maintain it.

One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint.

AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it.

I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one.

Considering the #TagsPub mess and the fact that it's made by a co-creator of the #ActivityPub protocol: is AP fundamentally incapable of doing consent by default and if so, how to replace it by a private-by-default protocol where every interaction must be authorized by all parts?

There's an unfortunate intersection between people wary of their privacy because they don't want to be attacked by the government, and people wary of their privacy because they want to attack the government. The recent revelations about the heads of #Mullvad and #ProtonVPN have made it evident.

Pinging the #Friendica devs on this one - do we have support for alt-text on profile pictures yet?

The US #Esperanto Association is closing its Mastodon account, leaving only Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram as their remaining networks. And neither of the three supports so much as a RSS feed. Why?

Somebody went and built a chatroom powered directly by #ActivityPub, called "Harmony". Roughly the opposite of Movim, Harmony aims to replace Discord and even includes end-to-end encryption (although I wonder if it'll be compatible with the implementation by Bonfire and Emissary). mony.lol/

It's a testament to both half a century of inflation, and the creative accounting of insurers in the US, that a modern "six-million-dollar man" would probably be just a dude that passed a week in clinical observation in a random hospital. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Six_…

Terrible moment to learn that #Bonfire, the up-and-coming #ActivityPub implementation, apparently has a hard dependency on #AVX instructions that my home server's chipset physically lacks. I'd have to spend upwards of $400 just to replace my server in order to test it, sigh... @Bonfire

Regarding the #Canvas hack affecting thousands of students: that's why any institution worth its salt should use #SelfHosting instead. My college, for instance, used #Joomla since back in the day (2008-ish) to manage courses and exams.

Naru, the Korean version of #Neocities, reportedly added an #ActivityPub implementation in just an hour using #Fedify. If you also want to implement ActivityPub quickly, give Fedify a try!
