Let's put people back in control of their technology. The Fediverse is a good start. Also wondering aloud where we are taking this planet.

YouTube just showed me a Google Gemini ad.

I have no idea what they just said. Something something bewildering new era.

What?

Immediate reaction: I’m tempted to short them.

Ghost has a (pretty funny) update on their development.

@julian what’s your reasoning there?

J12t,
@J12t@social.coop avatar

@julian I've always thought that what you get via push delivery and what you see in the outbox should be 100% consistent, because then if you don't get a pushed update -- e.g. because of a temporary failure -- you can go back and fetch what you missed. But certainly AP doesn't require or even suggest that behavior.

@julian It's mostly append-only, easy to cache ...

For FediTest, we have come to the conclusion that simple pass/fail isn't going to cut it. We need a more gradual rating, and the current state is 1) fail -- against the spec and likely go cause interop problems 2) soft fail -- against the spec but probably harmless from an interop perspective 3) degrade -- e.g. everything turns into a Note and 4) pass. Not sure this is an exhaustive list ... your empty outbox would get a pass, I think.

Fascinating how quickly COVID variants still change. The currently dominant strain basically didn’t even show up on the chart in March.

The fediverse needs something like this.

The is like a startup in many ways.

Some days you are totally elated about all the amazing things that are becoming possible and within reach. We are changing the world!

Some other days you are in the depth of despair that this is never going to work and how could you possibly ever have thought otherwise.

This week definitely is the former. A movement is forming, good people are coming out of hiding and are getting excited and involved. So glad to be part of it!!

An amazing in-person #Fediverse meetup with @miaq @Gargron @J12t @andypiper and more. Meeting moderators, users, and some of the folks building apps.

A distributed social web of meaningful relationships.

Instead of a few centralized walled-garden apps that only tell you what an unaccountable third party wants you to know.

P.S. Still working on the messaging... how can I improve this?

J12t,
@J12t@social.coop avatar

@mousey maybe there are two steps: have a machine help me find interesting people that I wouldn’t easily find myself can be valuable. But it needs to be optional and get out of the way once the relationship is established.

"“Web publishers brace for carnage as Google adds AI answers,” ...Until now, publishers have been able to rely on significant volumes of traffic coming from the blue links that appear under many queries. But [their new] AI overviews often obscure these links, requiring users to click to see them, or simply abstracting them away in an automatically generated summary. Analysts ... say a bloodbath is coming..."

Can the help? I think it can.

@J12t Hi Johannes, do you have a solution for such integration tests in place / planed?

https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/src/commit/fe3473fc8b7b51e024b1a564fc7f01e385ebfb5e/tests/integration/api_activitypub_repository_test.go#L76-L115

Would love to be able to make better integration tests ...

J12t,
@J12t@social.coop avatar

@meissa We're working on it. I assume you have seen https://feditest.org/ ? Docs are roughly current. Other than working through open issues, our next goal is to publish a set of webfinger test results within days, and then get more and more of the tests in tests/fediverse to work against a small set of fediverse applications. Maybe forgejo could be one of them? Join us in the Matrix group?

Attempting to write a message about "the changes I have checked in".

But instead I wrote "the chances I have checked in".

I will not accept your bets on whether my unconscious is convinced that the code runs as it is supposed to.

Tried to send a message to the IETF's mailing list with some feedback from @feditest. Tried three different sender e-mail addresses. None of them went through. Not sure what else to try.

@jimfenton I'm supposedly joined ... maybe there is a manual approval process beyond the automatic e-mail confirm?

J12t,
@J12t@social.coop avatar

@jimfenton I know, which is why I had some feedback!!

@jimfenton I sent e-mail to support, let's see what they have to say.

The comments system on @theverge_com wants to follow, unfollow, mute and block accounts for me, change my profile, create and delete Tweets and a gazillion other things? If I were to authenticate with Twitter there?

Ahem, no thank you.

Making glazed citron from this recipe and the lemons in the front yard. I’m on the last day, trying to get it to 235deg F. Somehow (heh!) the temperature doesn’t want to rise above 212. I think I made some kind of scientific discovery /s

Duuhhhh … turns out the silly Bluetooth thermometer also has a 212F limit, and doesn’t indicate it!! So I’ve been burning my citron while waiting for it to get hotter!!

We need a better framework for how to think about online relationships between people, and between people and organizations/websites. Logged on/off from a authentication perspective and follow/block from a social media perspective are really not quite right and not at all complete.

We did a bit of work on this when I was on the board of what was still called the Me2B Alliance, and of course there is seminal work by Doc Searls in ProjectVRM, but much remains to be done. The social web needs it!
