Listening to podcasts and being reminded that we need solutions for 'adblocking' in-stream-audio. Here's looking at you Vox and The Verge. I think the method that SponsorBlock is using is probably the right direction. Aware of any interesting projects in this area?
register anything.obl.ong for free. super cool! just discovered it through clicking on something about https://hardfork.obl.ong which also looks interesting and was like thats a great domain name I wonder whats at the root
(yes I know this is technically just a free subdomain but whatever)
Look at how @mikedev designed events in @streams! I would love to see this implemented in other software. @julian have you thought about how @nodebb would display an #ActivityPub event yet? Does @silverpill's @mitra have any support? What about @grunfink's SNAC?
oh for fuck sake... Moderna (the covid vax maker) is fully partnering with OpenAI, and they even mention using it to help make "optimal dose recommendations" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3UHnKLVS1M
Looking into this Summer of Protocols thing that @evan and @tomcoates got accepted for to work on adding encryption to #ActivityPub, and realized its a grant from the Ethereum Foundation. I am not opposed to crypto slush money flowing into more useful projects like the #fediverse but thought it was interesting that I hadn't seen anyone mention this fact yet.
I had to get a German bank account and decided to go with the only one with a presence on the #fediverse. I finally got into my new account (after waiting a very long time for them to snail mail me a code) and just attempted a transfer and it worked so I am now officially a @glsbank member...
I was thinking what would it look like if a Flohmarkt instance pulled in a @bookwyrm book to list as an item to sell. How would that make the most sense to represent through #ActivityPub?
I just had a radio flavored #activitypub idea. lets say I wanted to share a list of radio stations I like listening to: What if I had a list of them and each one was marked up in AP as a favorite that was linked to being a favorite of my account here maybe with rel="me" but like rel"my-stations" or something. and then other fediverse accounts could follow my list & automatically receive a OPML, PLS or M3U with all my stations that they could open in Transister or VLC or any app that supported it
