Thanks for the goblin tools link, that site looks really helpful for breaking down big tasks into small steps!

The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don’t expect to get in for like 2 weeks…

Implementing mastodon.social instead of proper Mastodon, implementing no other fedi software – this scheduler has much potential/work ahead

What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it’s only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.

Fyi @informapirata@mastodon.uno I have crossposted the meme to !fedimemes@feddit.uk where the audience might be a bit more appreciative of seeing memes :D

Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use “Person” instead of “Group”. But idk the technical details for that.

3,5% milk is also the standard milk here in central europe and it says so on the packaging. People call it simply “milk”, but it clearly says 3,5% milk on the branding.

Depends on the context. If it is written/talked about in a geographic context, it will usually mean “the Americas”. If it’s in a political context, it will mean “the USA”.

Keep on mind that reputable news outlets won’t use “Amerika” when referring to the US however, they will use “Vereinigte Staaten” (United States). “Amerika” as a term for the US is very much a colloquial thing.

I have no TV. I watch all my movies and series via a big PC screen which has no TV functionality.

So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

Linear TV over an antenna? Well that’s only technically free. You’d need to buy a receiving device - that costs money. You need to watch ads - that costs time.

I imagine that HR at some multicountry conglomerate is not your friend. In the middle-sized companies I have worked at HR has been quite supporting when needed. Of course it is also a question of what kind of stuff they are responsible for. For example, bullying is not an HR topic here, there are specific other people for that.

Given how other impactful contributors to the ActivityPub spec have been presenting their work in public vs how Evan does it, one can certainly get the impression that he is a bit self centered, yeah.

This Bix guy seems a bit butthurt.

Like, I am sure there are dozens of definitions for what “social web” is and when it began. And that sentence about Evan surely is sus, but is one sentence on one foundations website. I’m still thinking that this foundation will be pretty irrelevant.

Man, getting Soren Iverson onto the Fediverse would be sick

Given that the state-run media used to fearmonger with horror stories about Germans before Tusks party won the last election… I’d think it’s only partly a joke. Tusk knows that there are Poles who still think Germans are all criminals (like vice versa in Germany).
