Making cities less car-dependent is only possible if the city has a cheaper metro 🚇 alternative than a car.

👉🏾 We Need to Make Cities Less Car-Dependent | Scientific American https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/we-need-to-make-cities-less-car-dependent/

Numerous cities in 🇯🇵 have done this, as well as 🇸🇬.

Aside from 🗽 City, I do not know of any other major cities in the United States 🇺🇸 who are not car dependent.

So after being alerted by @tallship / @tallship & @silverpill that my ActivityPub settings were a bit wonky, I decided to take some time & investigate.

After further analysis, my settings were a bit wonky, as the site could no longer ping user handles (weird, I know).

I decided to embrace the spirit of Serenity / Firefly & quit “fiddling” to find out what the issue was.

Opening scene from Serenity MovieI deactivated & reactivated the ActivityPub plugin & installed the NodeInfo(2) plugin (both are by @pfefferle).

So now, the site can ping users when mentioning handles, but I am still unsure why the site was not working previously or if the underlying issues were addressed.

If anyone else has any issues, feel free to ping me at @darnell (my Mastodon account), as being a part of the Fediverse is important to me.

It's been over a month since Rep McGovern started his discharge petition to bypass Mike Johnson in the US Congress and get the support package for Ukraine rolling again. In the meantime, the House has mostly just vacationed, while russia bombards Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure. The petiton is up to 195 of the 218 names needed for majority.

It's not just Johnson. Most of the representatives don't care.

@osma Yeah, the issue is the GOP. Most of them have sold their political soul & future to Trump. It's insane!

I noticed the company who wanted to add their service directly into Owncast, and I said no, started releasing their own version of Owncast with their own changes in it to support this use case.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. It's kind of a fork, but it's really just another release of Owncast by somebody else. They're releasing something called Owncast with functionality and decisions that have nothing to do with the real Owncast. It specifically says stuff like "Owncast does X", and Owncast does not do X, and will never do X. Only their changes do X.

I fear this may confuse people. If something goes wrong with their version of the software, people are going to ask me for support, and might make the real Owncast look bad. But I don't know if this is wrong, or if this is completely acceptable. It's open source, and the name "Owncast" isn't owned by anybody, as Owncast is an open source project, not a company. So I guess they have the right to do whatever they want and call it Owncast.

But it feels wrong, and it seems like really bad things could come of this.

darnell,
@darnell@one.darnell.one avatar

@gabek If they want to fork , they legally can, but they should not call it Owncast anymore. I know & are open source as well, but they vigorously protect their trademarks to prevent this type of confusion.

If possible, I would encourage them to rename their fork something else. If they refuse, let us know which company it is so we can avoid doing business with them.

@silverpill @pfefferle @tallship @tallship @darnell It could be related to me updating To PHP 8.2 recently. 8.1 was recommended, & many plugins preferred 8.1 but I was curious & upgraded to 8.2 anyways.

@jan @thomas Oh okay. I suspect the reason Threads is blocking Toot.io is due to one or several of the customers utilizing your services.

However Metalhead’s blockage is a mystery.
