Are there any good Javascript libraries for working with ActivityPub? Need something for an upcoming project. Will be used with NextJS.

I absolutely love this flashforge burnt titanium filament. Prints so well and looks great.

#MastoAdmins friendly reminder to also check that your automated backups are running (you have automated backups right?) and that they're non-empty, and ideally actually usable!

First time I've had Humble Bundle not have keys for something they sold...

In fact, four of the games have no keys available.

Every time I open Apple News I’m reminded just how bad publications are. It’s 99% fluff/sponsored garbage. These companies wonder why revenue is down and they’ll go and blame Google or Facebook or ad blockers but they’re not looking at their own content. I’ve seen a few just scrolling that were definitely gpt generated.

YouTube has been running really slow in safari the last day or so and I thought hmm, surely it's not adguard, YT said they weren't limiting the speed of people using ad blockers (I have premium so shouldn't matter). Sure enough, disable adguard and now YT is really fast again. Sus.

@magicaltrash I just saw this pin trading trash can at Epcot and thought of you.

I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:

25% on steel and aluminum,
50% on semiconductors,
100% on EVs,
And 50% on solar panels.

China is determined to dominate these industries.

I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

Had an early dinner at Bistrot Chez Remy. Mixed greens and the steak. Ordered it rare and they nailed it. The mustard sauce was excellent. Was it worth 40 bucks? Probably not but it was a fun for a first time experience. #DisneylandParis

Mixed greens salad with a poached egg and a side of fresh bread.

I must be the only one not seeing spam in their feed. There’s been some attempted signups but that’s about it.

I don't...just no Apple. This is not the iPad take you want to be known for.

Destroying all these mostly tactile experiences for a tiny screen?

I love my iPad, but no....

The wildest bag someone recommended from this post is the TomToc Navigator. It's 40L, but only weighs 2.8 lb, has water bottle holders, compression straps, great laptop/iPad compartment, and one massive clamshell bucket for clothes. And it's only $80, which concerningly cheap

If they used X-Pac or a nicer material it could be even lighter and more durable, add in stowable straps, would be an absolute slam dunk

(about 10 mins video - first of two videos) I was fortunate on Sunday to see two of the #BDXdroids on a training walk. They got to interact with some other droids, and showed us how they've been taught to react to royalty. Unfortunately, one of the droids ran out of charge before the end of the training and had to be helped off. (You know how when kittens are sleepy, they just stop and plop wherever they are and take a nap? Droids are apparently the same.) #StarWars

All these small instances that haven't enabled captchas, manual approval or invitations, thus becoming victims to the spambot...

Verifying an email address doesn't really prove anything these days. Too easy to make one. The spambot is taking advantage of that fact, plus the fact that instances don't have to pass any tests to access the network, even if users do.

We can't teach every new instance owner to enable extra checks. We also can't assume that every new ActivityPub server that appears can be trusted.

It would be easy enough to filter problematic content if you ran everything through something like Bogofilter (simple but effective spam classifier) on the way in or out. Could also be used to alert admins to problematic accounts and posts. You can train such classifiers to look for other things than spam, such as slurs and hostile language.

Not something your average #mastoadmin could implement. Such filtering should be implemented by the Mastodon team. But they're allergic to "algorithms" there, so I doubt that's going to happen.
