An excellent #fediverse and #activitypub explainer! (and it doesn’t even refer to any specific platform) https://youtu.be/VmSWPj0T9IQ

According to Federated Social Network Service/System (SNS) History, the term "Fediverse" was coined on 2012-05-25. Long before #ActivityPub... just sayin'.

"Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

The computer, however, will stop you from recording DRM'd content.

Find it fascinating that when faced with drawing safety and security boundaries, the primary beneficiary is not the owner of the device, or the person using it, but random corporations who control the intellectual property rights.

The system doesn't work for you.

"...a would-be hacker would need to gain physical access to your device, unlock it and sign in before they could access saved screenshots."

I've got some news for Microsoft about how domestic abuse works.

Seriously pissed about this. Offering $10,000 in seed funding for a Deviant Art alternative built on ActivityPub. Q&A below or email your pitch to info@moth.social. https://slate.com/technology/2024/05/deviantart-what-happened-ai-decline-lawsuit-stability.html

Saw some text online that made me want to turn it into signage. What good are graphic design skills if you can't have a little fun with them.😜

One thing I find sad is that a lot if folms treated VR as just another tech fad and ditched it for crypto when that became the fad. Now a bunch of the same folks are following AI. Especially sad when fad chading meant ditching code and community for the next best thing only to abandon it again. It feels like the fad chasing means the fad in question doesn't get a fair chance to actually accomplish it's potential.

For more than a year, policy makers have been worried about the consequences of AI getting too powerful.

But it’s time to start worrying about the consequences of AI staying as dumb it currently is.

2024: OpenAI releases a free virtual assistant with a weirdly flirty voice.

2025: Millions of men become emotionally attached to the AI.

2026: OpenAI threatens to delete your virtual girlfriend if you don't pay a monthly subscription. You must also buy her digital flowers or she will hate you.

Daniel Thompson-Yvetot co-founder of @TauriApps will be speaking at The Web Conference where he'll announce the launch of Verso.
Verso is a web browser that plays old world blues to build new world hope: a new open-source project that seeks to make a cross-platform, Rust-based browsing engine, webview, and browser.

On May 16, it's an in-person event but live stream will be provided. https://crabnebula.dev/events/the-web-conf-2024/

By the way, do you have a personal website and does it have a home page? (I’m pretty sure it does… 😁)

I would love to know: what’s on your “home” and why?

Feel free to share a link, of course. 🤗 As always, I’m also asking on behalf of my #OwnYourWeb newsletter subscribers.

Several of the major social media platforms - Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter - have effectively declared war on linking to things and I absolutely hate it

"Link in my bio" / "Link in thread" / "Link in first comment"... or increasingly no link at all, just an unsourced screenshot of a page

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

• Paid family leave
• Equal pay
• Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)

I built a prototype for client-side, fully distributed search for the #IndieWeb, predictably called #IndieSearch — check out the short demo & explainer. Your site may even support it already (if you use the awesome #Pagefind static site search!)

I'd love to hear what you think!

How long does a post take to federate to other servers?

TLDR: 8.6 seconds on average

At least as of about 7:30 EST today with a few servers under 1 and a few over 30 seconds.

I have been beating this drum for a half dozen years now (links in the post to prove it!) but I will keep beating it: if you are giving a talk, it should work 100% without slides. At their best, slides are “progressive enhancement.” https://v5.chriskrycho.com/journal/progressively-enhanced-talks/
