David S Pumpkins strikes again!

This is the exact suggestion I saw posted around here when news of the speech was shared. You love to see it

This insane isolationism from the vocal minority will kill ActivityPub. The fact that the author is now backing down and switching to an opt-in system is infuriating. Makes want to fork the project and host a copy of the bridge that’s opt-out.

This reply from July shows they're still working on it, it's just challenging: https://nitter.net/photomatt/status/1676415784548184065

Is Tumblr still working on this? It's a little depressing to think Facebook of all companies might beat you to it.

Yeah 😕 They are orders of magnitude bigger and better capitalized than us. Not an excuse, just reality.

Not in Utica, no. It’s all Albany expression.

For real. Wanna try Mastodon? Make an account on mastodon.social. Wanna try Lemmy? Make an account on Lemmy.world. Once people buy into the platforms they can migrate to smaller/niche instances if they’d like. Simply things at first, active users will then slowly figure out the rest.

This is great! Account portability is one of the biggest reasons BlueSky gave for developing ATProto instead of using ActivityPub. This could be a way of getting them to switch to the standard and expand the fediverse in the process.

That’s exactly the point. Isolationists instances can always defederate bridges if they don’t like them. This outrage is them imposing their will on the rest of the fediverse.

People look at the big picture in polls(X candidate is leading in polls) and then say they're wrong when Y candidate wins, but it's way more nuanced than that.

The 2016 polls were not that far off. Hillary won the popular vote, as the polls predicted. The key states she lost, she lost by small margins within, or not too far from, the margin of error.

If you look at FiveThirtyEight's final prediction for 2016, Trump had a 28.6% chance of winning. That's between a 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 chance! But the media narrative was that Trump had 0 chance, and what happened happened.

Google constantly does this unethical bundling of features with privacy switches. I remember when I used to use Android that turning off Location History meant you couldn't save your home and work address on Google Maps.

It makes sense to pause registrations if an instance is actively overloaded, but there’s no reason it can’t keep growing if more hardware is added and the performance issues are resolved.

Unless I'm missing something, this isn't a messaging standard like RCS or XMPP. This is just a way to do E2EE messaging. Just like Signal and Whatsapp both use the Signal protocol for E2EE messaging but are completely siloed networks, MLS would be much the same.

Bridgy doesn’t scrape anything. It works the same as any other ActivityPub instance, the only difference is that it converts some JSON from one format to another.

It also converts edit and deletion events, so in your scenario it would relay that you want your poem or photo deleted.

This isn’t a web scrapper that reposts content like all the bots reposting Reddit threads to Lemmy. This is a protocol translator between federated networks that speak different languages.

Motels? Probably not, but most 4 star hotel shouldn’t be in disrepair. As generic as chain hotels like Mariott and Hilton are, they tend to be well maintained.

That's not how ActivityPub works. You can't embed trackers or scripts into posts. You can't even do the basic trackers that emails have(loading a 1px image) since your instance pulls the image from the originating server and caches it.

The good news is that none of the large instances are going for these insane policies. Small instances and solo instances can defederate themselves into irrelevance all they want, just like beehaw did.

It’s called solipsism for short

CS2 is Counter Strike 2. Cities: Skylines 2 is C:S2

Not entirely sure what you mean by that. It deletes posts in the same way that any other ActivityPub server does, by federating the deletion request.

It’s up to the receiving servers to handle that request and delete the post. You can easily have an ActivityPub native server that doesn’t honor those requests.

No, it's a fictional instance used to make a point.

They use an Edge-exclusive DRM for 4K video on the web. You can just download the Netflix app from the Microsoft Store instead.

Same! I picked up the Enhanced Edition on Steam recently. I'm excited to revisit it. I heard the enhanced graphics are a bit hit or miss, but the option is there to use the original assets.

First Blade Runner game in 25 years!

It's a bit confusing. The backend added support for infinite scrolling, but lemmy-ui(the front end) hasn't landed that change yet.

Tesla is also a Linux base.

This is from a week ago…

It’s pretty good, but doesn’t satisfy the same craving as a good slice of NY style.

That said, there’s a place here in Seattle called Moto Pizza that makes incredible Detroit-styles pies.

Signal, iMessage and Discord mostly.

Why even bother with beehaw? Just join any instance that federates with them.

Star Trek TNG meets Honkai Star Rail. That actually works pretty well, gonna spend all my jades pulling for Picard!

It’s a story-based adventure game, like most Annapurna Interactive games.

I sure hope he stays away from any open windows.

Yeah, the market is flooded with cheap VR headsets with eye and hand tracking! Stupid Apple! /s
