Let's put people back in control of their technology. The Fediverse is a good start. Also wondering aloud where we are taking this planet.

Let's say you wanted to increase velocity on your product development process to reach nirvana faster. What can you do?

A laser-sharp focus on putting everywhere clearly can help. And Meta is not the only culprit.

Reading about . I get the “louder than the satellite” part, but shouldn’t there be some kind of cryptographic signature or something that lets you distinguish which is which, and some kind of token to guard against replay attacks? Is there? Maybe only in the encrypted US military version? (Guessing wildly…)

And then you find yourself as one of the Fediverse handles linked to by Techmeme on the story that Mastodon is forming a US not-for-profit organization.

Never figured out how they pick the linked posts.

/cc @gaberivera any insights you can share?

Let's say you set up a ticket vending machine for public transport, and you feel very ... not sure, maybe bureaucratic?

What should you call that machine? What about:

Passenger Operated Machine (POM).

The domain/object modelers among us just died a little.

<P>In the beginning, html was <B>all</B> <BLINK>uppercase.</BLINK>.

I don't remember when or why it turned lowercase. Anybody remember?

Also, apparently it didn't have an <HTML> tag.

Interesting choice of board members for the new Mastodon US not-for-profit. Inasmuch directors influence the direction of the project towards their areas of interest, it tells us something where they are planning to go.

“I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S. Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as ‘an official act.’ I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.”

Next steps: now you have reached this achievement for the fourth time in your life, can you maybe manage to stay on the level??!?

And then you go through the ActivityStreams standard (which is one of the standards the #Fediverse is built on) and find your own name in the Acknowledgements section.

According to a 3rd party quoted in Business Insider, is now surpassing /#X in a key metric.

In April so far, "Threads has averaged an estimated 28 million daily active users, ....a roughly 55% increase in DAUs from December"

"X has averaged 22 million DAUs, a usage rate that's 21% lower than Threads."

MyData.org is calling on the European Commission to enforce the "continuous and real-time [data] access" provision in the Digital Markets Act against Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft.T

hat provision is now apparently the law, but hasn't been implemented. Well, at least I have not seen it implemented by any of them, anybody know more? Because implementing that provision could be truly revolutionary!

“ActivityPub is a lot like email, and Ghost already supports email subscriptions. This means we can use the same interface to support both.”

@johnonolan is doing the exact right thing here with “merging” the email and Fediverse subscription experience. Probably from first principles — which I very much agree with — because almost nobody else does. Kudos!

Happy with @feditest progress today. Amazing what progress you can make if you have the luxury of focusing on something!!

Mark Zuckerberg announces the opening of Meta Horizon OS and partnerships with Lenovo, ASUS and Microsoft to build headsets with it.

This is an open versus closed software ecosystem battle playing out similar to the Windows versus Mac ecosystems battled it out in the PC era.

J12t,
@J12t@social.coop avatar

@carnage4life Opening up headset development to partners and focusing on the OS is a bit surprising for Meta at this stage, where the headsets including Apple’s are really only barely good enough and tight hardware/software integration appears to be essential. What are those platform partners supposed to do, all build their own R1 chip and integrate it?

Hive mind: take a video-conferencing tool like Zoom, Jitsi or Google Meet or such.

Imagine you built it in some kind of "#fediverse-native" fashion. What would that look like?

Seems like you'd have some kind of (public or private) group that you sign into with your fediverse handle, and then you can follow the group. There is no separate chat. Your video name is the same as on your fediverse profile. Perhaps public meetings would even show up as live video in your follower's timelines? Ideas?

Washed out a bucket in the backyard today. By the time I was back 10min later to refill it, a spider was merrily weaving a web across the top.

A strategic mis-assessment of the situation, dear spider.
