happy 10th birthday, ActivityPub! 🎉🎉

The obvious choice for ActivityPub’s birthday would be the 23rd of January 2018 - the day it was annointed as a W3C recommendation. That doesn’t seem quite right though - its not as if the spec came into existence in any sense upon that date. In fact, Mastodon implemented it before thne.

There are several possible dates you might pick, but for me it will always be September 5th 2014 - when I committed the first sketch of a specification I called ActivityPump [github.com] and pushed it to Github

It wouldn’t be until November that I actually submitted (a revised and enhanced version of) that draft to the working group, but even then I had the very nucleus of the specification written down.

Happy 10th birthday, ActivityPub. 🍰

birthdate counts by the date of the first repository commit to the ActivityPub protocol, btw



Regeringen och Sverigedemokraterna visar gång på gång hur bolag och pengar går före människa och klimat. Flygskattens avskaffande bör vara droppen som får bägaren att rinna över.

c'aurait été avec plaisir (partagé, je ne sais pas ?) mais j'envisage une hospitalisation de 2 mois entre mi-septembre et mi-novembre, donc probablement pas disponible les 21 et 22 septembre ! d'ailleurs je ne publierai plus rien pendant ce temps. (en effet je n'ai encore et toujours pas résolu mon problème de publication depuis mon smartphone au lieu de l'ordinateur).


A master class here in passive voice & evading responsibility for supposedly agenda-setting media in giving to much attention to Biden's age & too little to Trump's fascism. #BrokenPost

in reply to Jeff Jarvis

They do erase their responsibility for making those “concerns” central to public discourse, but I don’t see any passive voice (in the grammatical sense) in the sentence highlighted in blue. The underlined “which” clause in the next sentence does contain a passive-voice construction (“was … trusted”), but it seems to me that it would be clumsy to explicitly name its implied subject (the people who participated in the polls).
in reply to Andrew Shields

@AndrewShields
Passive in the sense that "concerns" is the actor in the sentence rather than, unsaid, news media.




Toute cette bande des jeunes loups du PS des mid 80's : les Camba, Désir, Dray, tous ces arrivistes qui ont fait un mal incroyable à la gauche.

...même quand ils ne siègent plus, ils continuent à la salir.

L’ex-député Cambadélis encore condamné, pour s’être mis plus de 80 000 euros dans la poche

L’ancien patron du PS a été reconnu mercredi coupable de détournements de fonds publics. Il se servait de l’argent censé couvrir ses frais de député pour un usage personnel : voyages, abonnement à Canal+, amendes... C’est la troisième condamnation de sa vie pour atteinte à la probité.
