The is like a startup in many ways.

Some days you are totally elated about all the amazing things that are becoming possible and within reach. We are changing the world!

Some other days you are in the depth of despair that this is never going to work and how could you possibly ever have thought otherwise.

This week definitely is the former. A movement is forming, good people are coming out of hiding and are getting excited and involved. So glad to be part of it!!

An amazing in-person meetup with @miaq @Gargron @J12t @andypiper and more. Meeting moderators, users, and some of the folks building apps.

A distributed social web of meaningful relationships.

Instead of a few centralized walled-garden apps that only tell you what an unaccountable third party wants you to know.

P.S. Still working on the messaging... how can I improve this?

J12t,
@J12t@social.coop avatar

@mousey maybe there are two steps: have a machine help me find interesting people that I wouldn’t easily find myself can be valuable. But it needs to be optional and get out of the way once the relationship is established.

"“Web publishers brace for carnage as Google adds AI answers,” ...Until now, publishers have been able to rely on significant volumes of traffic coming from the blue links that appear under many queries. But [their new] AI overviews often obscure these links, requiring users to click to see them, or simply abstracting them away in an automatically generated summary. Analysts ... say a bloodbath is coming..."

Can the help? I think it can.

@J12t Hi Johannes, do you have a solution for such integration tests in place / planed?

https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/commit/fe3473fc8b7b51e024b1a564fc7f01e385ebfb5e/tests/integration/api_activitypub_repository_test.go#L76-L115

Would love to be able to make better integration tests ...

@J12t@social.coop avatar

@meissa We're working on it. I assume you have seen https://feditest.org/ ? Docs are roughly current. Other than working through open issues, our next goal is to publish a set of webfinger test results within days, and then get more and more of the tests in tests/fediverse to work against a small set of fediverse applications. Maybe forgejo could be one of them? Join us in the Matrix group?

Attempting to write a message about "the changes I have checked in".

But instead I wrote "the chances I have checked in".

I will not accept your bets on whether my unconscious is convinced that the code runs as it is supposed to.

Tried to send a message to the IETF's mailing list with some feedback from @feditest. Tried three different sender e-mail addresses. None of them went through. Not sure what else to try.

@jimfenton I'm supposedly joined ... maybe there is a manual approval process beyond the automatic e-mail confirm?

The comments system on @theverge_com wants to follow, unfollow, mute and block accounts for me, change my profile, create and delete Tweets and a gazillion other things? If I were to authenticate with Twitter there?

Ahem, no thank you.

Making glazed citron from this recipe and the lemons in the front yard. I’m on the last day, trying to get it to 235deg F. Somehow (heh!) the temperature doesn’t want to rise above 212. I think I made some kind of scientific discovery /s

Duuhhhh … turns out the silly Bluetooth thermometer also has a 212F limit, and doesn’t indicate it!! So I’ve been burning my citron while waiting for it to get hotter!!

We need a better framework for how to think about online relationships between people, and between people and organizations/websites. Logged on/off from a authentication perspective and follow/block from a social media perspective are really not quite right and not at all complete.

We did a bit of work on this when I was on the board of what was still called the Me2B Alliance, and of course there is seminal work by Doc Searls in ProjectVRM, but much remains to be done. The social web needs it!

Compliments to The Guardian for polling scientists recently and publishing their predictions that are so much scarier than the official ones.

But in spite of their coverage, the Guardian has a hard time accepting it themselves. At +2.7°C, they say, 2 billion people will be pushed out of the conditions that allow humanity to live. And at above +3°C, they say we will have “millions of refugees”. Ahem.

Hey @mikedev, because something related came up recently, checking in what exactly you are working on with respect to nomadic identity and Mastodon? Patches? Protocol? ...? Any place I can see something?

A perfect Northern California day today. Sun, quite warm, but not too warm yet, still mostly lush vegetation, and if you could see the mountains, there would still be snow. If you ever think of traveling to , I recommend May.

@Fediverse Test Suite This is looking very promising! In about an hour of work, my WebFinger endpoint is now almost fully "FediTest compliant", with just two wrinkles: percent encoding and an unexpected keyword argument.

I'm not comfortable with rejecting requests just because they fail to percent-encode the @ so my vote is for that test to be relaxed a bit.

Overall I'm impressed with how easy it was to get this running. Switching from the quickstart instructions to testing my own instance just involved copying the "gargron" example test plan and changing a few parameters. It couldn't have been simpler.

I haven't looked at the UBOS stuff yet. That will have to wait for another day.

@fentiger You are the first one to accuse us we are making simple :-) Rest assured, testing bidirectional interactions won't be as simple as WebFinger tests... but then, we sure try!
