I don't know if NVIDIA creating an artificial supply shortage or there is an infinite demand. GPU price increased 20-30% in the last 6 month.

Honestly the first sites that really need #ActivityPub federation are GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket and all repository sites, including self-hosted ones. Got to mass cater us developers first before the general public.

On a lesser note, I just want to star repos and they go into the same stars list. Open an issue and I can see a list of issues I reported across them all.

Is anyone else able to "Create a Pod" via the button on https://activitypods.org? I am seemingly not getting anywhere in my efforts to do so (and I'm curious to experiment!) #ActivityPods #ActivityPub #SolidPods

🔎 Mastodon full-text search released last year.

Here at toot.io we can search in 9 million remote posts using 4 GB storage, pretty amazing.

Any business that depends on third-party APIs that it does not control and is locked into using is not a good business.

Threads has already blocked Mastodon instances since 21 Mar 2024 around 3 month after joining the Fediverse.

Understanding AP and RSS

I've been trying to figure out what ActivityPub does that RSS doesn't.

Off the top of my head, it's not the ability to syndicate, RSS already does that. I can follow anyone on any server.

I think it's the timeline? And the ability to delete posts. Keeping all that in sync is a lot of work, and presumably a lot of traffic?

Also replies. If I reply to a post when viewing it on another server, the reply should show up under any other view of that post.

What else??

Some Congressional Republicans call the Affordable Connectivity Program wasteful.

I call it necessary.

It’s time Congress extended it so the 23 million households across America that rely on the program can stay connected.

The fact that you can follow the president of the United States (@potus) from your Mastodon account instead of being forced to have an X or Threads account for it is a huge W in my book. Of course our team is fully available to help if they'd want to set up Mastodon on whitehouse.gov. I believe governments should not rely on 3rd party platforms to connect with their constituents.

All the old use cases are coming back with the re-surging decentralized social web. Just came across one that I last thought about ca 2009.

2008-2024: the lost years.
