I'm going to recommend that if W3C starts accepting changes to the AP standard from Meta, the community must maintain a fork that rips out any offending parts.

Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I'm working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.
Haven't read it yet but this is facts
What the article doesn't mention is just how much time the Fediverse has spent in its infancy, because the drive wasn't there for certain stuff and people only worked on what they cared to work on. Grassroots development, compared to the FB social graph and whatnot, which had paid employees working on it every day, while Jim spent his weekends in his basement tinlering with ActivityPub or OStatus.
25 here. Sick and fucking tired of people calling my gen "digital natives"
Good bot!
My friend daily drives Chicago95
When they do go that route, I propose the community fork the standard and continue work that way. We already do this with code.
Yeah, the first companies to support Linux clearly saw it had a shit ton of money. If it's a good idea, the right people will pick it up, even if we're dead by the time it happens.
If you're still using this account, I run my own. If you set up a domain and $5 Linode, just spin one up and follow the Ansible instructions. Setting up Lemmy was SHOCKINGLY easy for all the shit Lemmy is actually responsible for handling.
Oof. Sitting here drinking Crown and scrolling my instance.
The W3C has shown in the past that it can't be trusted not to take bribes. See alse: EME
I run my own instance here at twisti.ca and have the full intention of defederating
I'm not gonna lie I miss skeumprphism from the 2000's, I know a lot of people thought it was tacky but it had more character than this flat, low-effort boring shit. This new flat stuff from the mid-2010's makes it look like these companies got halfway through product design and quit.
I read their Technology page which isn't entirely word salad like the front page is. Based. No one company should control your social graph, I'm an advocate of data sovereignty as well on that note. Also, to corporations: Fuck your authority.
Sometimes I wonder if we're not being fair to RedHat, but then I remember at the same time they didn't go under in 2008 like Sun did, and they didn't take the hit many others did due to COVID.
Emphasis on vile shit
No, they re-publish the work of WHATWG in standards form, the vendors literally made a pact not to deal with them. Then sometime in the last decade they standardized EME, even after the technology activists told them fucking not to. Defective By Design said this shit for years, decades, and W3C ignored everyone. I have more reason not to trust Berners-Lee at this point than put any stock in his leadership skills.
I actually switched to Endeavor recently. My buddy Eli, however, absolutely swears by Spiral Linux, a Debian-based distro with the same goals Ubuntu had before it became a corporate Snapcraft-forcing shithole
ActivityPub wasn't built with the purpose of having a "killer app" in mind. That's centralization logic. The point is for all apps to be able to talk to each other regardless of where on the network and maintaining the ability to do so seamelessly without the user having to think too much about it.
Mastodon should be able to talk to Lemmy. Lemmy should be able to talk to Pixelfed. Et cetera. I don't believe XMPP had the same purpose, matter of fact I remember it just being a subpar IM protocol iirc, and I don't see social media going by the wayside the way IM clients of the past did.
Federation allows for choice. Indeed, many AP implementations already add to the base AP stuff. Peertube already does this itself.
For this to really be a problem, the server software would need to be maintained by the same person running the instance, and they have to have the manpower already to either a) Build an implementation or b) Run a fork of existing software. Both take effort and quite frankly is juice that isn't worth the squeeze to risk cutting yourself off from the network like that.
FreeBSD is being used by Netflix and others, I don't use it because I'm not offended by virtual hugs, but it might appeal to those who really hate systemd these days. Linux started being commercialized in the 90's, the same decade it came out, and the same decade Microsoft wrote the "Halloween docs." Linux took root pretty damn quick in the grand scheme of things. It may never take the server market, but Linux has been kicking ass since a few years after it was announced.
Doesnt convey over text bro
I shouldn't be irrationally angry about a corp going under, but the people working there had some drive you just don't see these days.
Just turned a few days ago. Welcome brother!
No, the implication is that they know everything about technology when in reality they know how to plug a phone into a wall and scroll.
Yeah, I think that would be a good way to start. It may exacerbate flamewars, however.
Ah yes, that explains the log4j fiasco
They went too far left. I left the plantation and god forbid ActivityPub just be left as a sacred place.
That would be too easy for people with an ideological vendetta. In this case, leftists.
You're gonna change plenty of minds with that attitude, bud.
Regardless of what anyone thinks about politics, nothing good will come by letting them in. I hope all current instances defederate, I know mine will.
