Two years ago, I joined Fastly with the acquisition of Glitch. Next week, our whole team is going to show you why, and what we've been up to, with an amazing lineup of announcements. I'm incredibly excited about the event we're hosting in NYC next week, and hope you'll watch the live stream — I promise you have never seen a tech keynote like this one. Check out https://fastly.com/instant to add it to your calendar, and go to https://youtube.com/live/pgNjS1_kOW8 to add a reminder to watch on YouTube.

Probably the worst (definitely the longest) chart I've ever made. But it was fun!

Looking for a dev to help lead Mammoth. Needs passion for user experience & fedi, ideally has played a key role in end user app already. Codebase is in Swift + UIKit but we are flexible, want to talk to visionary devs. $5,000/mo, fully open source, AGPL. Can be a (major!) side hustle. HMU at bdecrem on g mail or bartdecrem on discord.

I’m excited to say that I turned in my manuscript for the ActivityPub book for O’Reilly Media today. I started working on it in September of 2023, with a lot of interim checkpoints and deadlines since. In April 2024, I finished the first draft of the manuscript. Over the month of May, I’ve been working on improvements suggested by the technical reviewers who agreed to look over the book, and from my own re-read.

In total, my TODO file for this month has about 250 changes to be made. Some are small — just changing a word or two — but one required adding a whole new chapter, and many required multi-paragraph sections.

I took the last week of May off from my work at Open Earth Foundation to concentrate on making changes. My team was really supportive, which I deeply appreciated. I went to our country house in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and I spent the week writing, editing, drawing and thinking.

Now, the next stage of book making starts: production. The production team at O’Reilly will be copyediting, indexing, and laying out the book. Their designers will be taking my UML diagrams and turning them into professional-looking illustrations. We have two rounds of quality control on code samples and fact checking on content.

In September 2024, the final e-book will be available for sale. I’ll have a link here for the pre-sale version when it comes out. If you’re eager to read the book, I highly recommend reviewing the early release version.

Thanks so much to my friends, family and colleagues who’ve made space and time for me to do this work. It has meant a lot to me. I hope the final product helps more developers create cool projects using ActivityPub.

the replies being filled with absolute idiocy here really just prove that people just see red the second they see "AI" and dont think for two seconds

grow the fuck up, seriously

this is a GOOD USE CASE. IT'S INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY OF THE WEB. IT'S RUNNING LOCALLY. IT'S NOT SPYING ON YOU.

Preview of stuff that will be arriving in #GoToSocial v0.16.0 (likely in a week or two when we've squished some more bugs):

• more efficient message delivery; useful for accounts with lots of followers
• user sign-up/registration flow; open your instance to sign-ups without having to manually create users with the CLI; approve/reject sign-ups
• better account overview on the settings panel, for instance admins
• display accurate followers/following/statuses counts for remote accounts
• filters v2 API; filters should work in more clients with this
• frontend for HTTP header filters; block incoming requests based on http header values
• settings panel section for sending test emails, to check SMTP config
• alternative SQLite implementation available via build tag
• search updates; search within your own statuses more easily
• shitloads of little bug fixes and stuff

New: What is Farcaster, and why did a16z value it at 1 billion dollar?

#Farcaster is a decentralised social network that has seen significant growth recently, with currently around 80k daily active users. The network has strong ties with crypto and Ethereum. They got an investment of $150M recently by (among others) a16z.

I take a closer look at how Farcaster works, and why some crypto VCs think its worth a billion dollars.
