@poppastring
It'd be great if you could get someone, anyone who is responsible for your Maths programming to read https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/110897908266416158 - in particular when I covered the topic of e-calcs https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/111164851485070719 where I covered the DIFFERENT ways that the different MS products do it wrong. The Windows "standard" calc says that 2+3x4=20, in "Scientific" mode it says that's 14 but also says 8/2(1+3)=8/(1+3), etc.

Maths teacher/tutor tired of hearing "but my calculator says you're wrong"
I think I have a valid WebFinger and also an endpoint for Actor. I have carefully checked the output against your blog and the only differences appear to be the data, but I am still not discoverable.
I wanted to check if I needed to implement the other endpoints in Actor before I became searchable.
@poppastring cool! I was out of the country and with limited internet, but this was in the back of my mind. So you mean it is about the endpoints? or the actor content?
@mapache It was all about how I was returning the actor content. I am using MVC to return the data so I used:
Produces("application/json");
However, I also was returning the data like this:
return Json(data, jsonseropt);
I changed that to:
return Ok(data);
I now show up in any Masto search, but I still need to work on showing my latest posts on the profile page and handling things like follows, likes, etc.
@Paxxi@poppastring So like Apple’s Find My. Like Recall, there are creepier third-party alternatives available like, Snap Maps or Life360. Find My has its uses and saves devices all the time, but unfortunately it opens up victims to be tracked everywhere they go.
Example aside, I do think privacy is going to get worse and worse, and abuse victims will be among the ones who suffer the hardest. It’s grim looking ahead and I don’t know how the industry’s gonna be fixed.
@nebula@poppastring I haven't read enough about the design of Find My to know what mitigations Apple has and if they're good enough but I agree that it's also a technology that's inherently problematic.
As for fixing it, being vocal and organizing.
Contact your politicians about privacy issues.
