BROCK SHOCK: #Badger culls were never about stopping #Bovine#Tuberculosis. It was about sucking up to psychotic farmers and their irrational scapegoating of anything they can't just shoot or poison into extinction.
"Badger culls are not best way to cut bovine TB, report finds
"Exclusive: #BadgerTrust analysis comes 10 years after government started culls in #England against scientific advice..."
Okay, my parser now (correctly) works with objects from #mastodon, #firefish, and #bovine and covers all of AS2, JSON-LD context objects, and a few actor-specific extensions from Mastodon specifically.
I also implemented some (thread safe) caching so as to not annoy myself later.
There's a lot of spit-and-polish still required and a bunch of tests still to write to explore all of the corner cases, but I can call that good for now and move on to something else for a bit.
@Pxtl I mean I think I might have, without realizing it or ever having looked at the gson source code, reinvented the way that gson does parsing already (but on top of gson and specifically supporting the AP use cases) 🤷🏻♀️
But yeah, 500 ns to load an object lazily: not the end of the world.
1+ ms on a database query to do it? Possibly not what you want to be doing.
I just got around to taking a look at the Fediverse Pasture.
Nice! I got a few of the built-in instances running and then added my own in just a few hours.
I didn't have to change a lot - mostly the same "http" vs "https" stuff that other projects needed.
I've had interop problems with both #Bovine and #Firefish in the past, and I've hardly tested against #Mitra at all. It looks like the Pasture will let me make some progress here. Thanks @helge !
Photographed this handsome brahma in a rural country pasture & spruced him up with layers of texture for his social media debut. This breed of cows is very impressive & unique in appearance & always fun to see & photograph. An ideal image for the cattle rancher or for anyone who loves cows.
