ik zal in ieder geval geen Nederlandse vlag hangen wanneer mijn dochter slaagt. Ik vind echter in z'n algemeen een begrenst gebied niet iets om mee te pronken.

Fediverse, ActivityPub and the Ethics


in reply to Arnold Schrijver

Due to a bug in the #Discourse #ActivityPub plugin the image is included twice and with the wrong alt-text (the one that auto-generated on image upload).

The #ALT4you alt-text is the exact text of my toot at this location:

(Plus the federation of this caused another nginx "504 Gateway Time-out" on SocialHub forum)


#Ethics-at-scale in #FOSS. Who cares?

FOSS: "I made actor identity independent of DNS"

FOSS: "Nice! I bridged all the social web protocols"

FOSS: "And I made service development dead easy, intuitive and productive"

Fedizen: "This is so wonderful. What a cozy place we have"

Meta: "We agree! We embraced the technology and today announce free fediverse access for anyone. Our datacenters are primed and ready for a billion more fedizens. That's not all! With Service Mart you're in full control!"

At 70 years old, Vigdis Bjorvand from Norway is sailing to Gaza aboard 'Handala' to help break Israel's illegal siege - a journey she's been waiting for for years. A Palestine activist since 1978, Vigdis says she never wants her grandchild to say, “Grandma, you didn’t do anything.”

I was two months off my 9th birthday and on holiday with the family at Ilfracombe in Devon. My mum has a picture of me with the newspaper in front of me that said "Footsteps on the Moon".
