I want my root digital identity and follow-contacts stored in a Solid pod, letting me log into all fediverse platforms via Solid-OIDC.
#ActivityPub & #Mastodon et.al. should just provide the send/receive pipes, relegating the job of primary identity provider to the ID-centric protocol that is Solid.
If anyone's hiring a mid-level or associate software engineer (react / node.js / solid) remote (Germany), I highly encourage you to get in contact with @yesvirginia, who's just parted ways with Inrupt, where we worked together.
She's looking for her next role, must be remote, and minimum salary ~€75-80k.
She's not just a talented developer, but also a huge people person, often driving positive change, and is running for the Chair of the Solid CG.
This is fascinating to see.. I have long been intrigued by the ideas around #SOLID “pods” from Tim Berners-Lee and others working with him. The whole idea of keeping all your data in one place, and then having services pull it from your cache. Very much aligned with the #POSSE philosophy for publishing.
But there has not yet been many ways to use those pods. Could this combination with #ActivityPub help? Hmmm… glad to see people working on this!
decided to look into #solid (the Tim Berners-Lee related one) and, why the hell isn't it in everything by now, or at least able to be?!
Like, why can't I have my files on a Solid pod show up in Nautilus yet?!
In particular, I think it might be really great for a "metaverse passport," a common ID that would include a display name and avatars, and you could potentially use Solid's existent profile and friends stuff too.
If you want to implement some sort of feature toggles/switches in an application, and that means you have a class and an interface for each toggle, which only has an IsEnabled bool property to check if it's on, isn't that a bit of overengineering? #programming#solid#coding
"With ActivityPods, you have only one profile, one outbox, one inbox and one list of followers - all in a single place. Applications connect to your Pod to post activities, read the inbox and fetch data. And of course they can connect to any existing fediverse application!"
I created a profile on Kbin (@danielhz) and a profile on Lemmy (@danielhz). I have now four Fediverse profiles. Why do I have four identities instead of one? To have only one, we need to decouple identities, data, and applications. Solid is trying to do this decoupling. Multiple applications can access data from a single POD. Of course, this requires a big architecture change, and it is challenging. #Solid#Fediverse
"#ActivityPods is a combination of two #W3C standards: #ActivityPub, and the #Solid specification. The first standard is for data federation and networks, the second is for data storage and access. The ideals of both projects put together create a compelling vision: data control, across user applications, in service to communication across the web."
Messing around with #ActivityPods at work. Question: does the mypod.store provider only work with the three installed Solid apps? (Mastopod, Mutual Aid, Welcome To My Place)
I can't seem to get other #Solid apps to work with it, unless I'm misunderstanding something? I thought ActivityPods was intended to run on top of standard Solid Pods.
Gave an improptu summary of the UBOS project and architecture and key differences at #IIW today in a session on Personal Data Stores. Others talked about #solid, #tbd/decentralized web nodes and more.
The #ActivityPub ecosystem is evolving at a rapid pace. One project, #ActivityPods, is making an ambitious effort to combine the Fediverse with the power of #Solid.
