Sending love today to all the moms, and to all who could really use a mom hug today but can’t have one for whatever reason.
It’s my first without my mom ❤️🩹 but my 16th with my amazing daughter and have much to be grateful for. I have lots of extra mom love to spare if you need some today. ✨

Here Justine Bateman’s thread lays out a case for why AI in entertainment must be addressed now, protections created or writers, actors and directors may not have a profession or career at all very soon. Writers Guild (WGA), SAG-AFTRA and the Directors Guild of America (DGA) are fighting for our professions to exist at all.

Being a mom in the US is dangerous—and wildly expensive:
More new mothers die in the US than in any other rich country. Several times over. The US has a maternal mortality crisis. ...
Giving birth in the US is insanely expensive ...
America remains one of exactly two countries that don’t mandate maternity leave ...
Lack of accessible healthcare
The cost of childcare in America is astounding. ...

I have been struggling with the world of podcast apps for 20 years and am absolutely blown away by how good #Antennapod is. Every feature I always wanted captured in one app. #podcasts have become the curated radio stream and thanks to private RSS and Patreon you can support the ones you want.
Great work 👏👏🎉 Antennapod community!
I was just let go from my job and I’m looking for a new place to land.
If anyone knows of an open role for a Senior QA with 10 years of experience, please let me know.
I have extensive skills in Agile, SDLC, Jira, Confluence, Smoke and regression testing, Postman, documentation and more. I’m in the US (NY) and am looking for something remote / WFH.
Even if you don’t have a role but see this post, PLEASE BOOST IT so someone else may see it. Thank you.

THIS feels very true... @memes_1336
... but they must be confident as they're hiding it less, even aggressively showing it more.
Alright #CalcKey junkies, I'm a Mastodon instance admin and I'm an engineering group lead at Automattic (think the company of WordPress' founder) who is leading the work to add Mastodon as a supported service for our Jetpack Social product.
That said, what's the sell to get me to spend more time here?

I found this project github.com/Uden-AI/fediverse-s… but I think that it would be better if we could somehow have an official (or unofficial, but widely used) universal way of doing it, so that other sites could add Fedi share buttons easily.

@kainoa
My thought is that this is a great case for #WebIntents . /cc @paul
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Inte…
That said, I think the most practical option for Automattic would be to ask for your Mastodon API server, let you log in, and then save your key for future likes/shares/whatevs.
@kainoa
And to top off the discussion I'll add an obligatory reference to the #Fediverse Enhancement Proposal process, where any dev can take the initiative and bring a particular mechanism into standard use..
Check out: codeberg.org/fediverse/fep
Discussion of #FEPs take place at #SocialHub at: socialhub.activitypub.rocks
@kainoa
That's definitely something worthy of discussion!
As far as I know there is no FEP for this yet, but we have been discussing introducing a standard for a set of ActivityPub protocol handlers in this issue (the first issue in the fediverse/fediverse-ideas
repo!).
Instead of Web Intents, we were discussing custom Web-based protocol handlers, that would be useful for all kinds of ActivityPub actions:
- Share, like with a "Share to Fediverse" button.
- Like
- Follow: this would greatly improve the user experience when following new folks.
- And more.
Web-based protocol handlers
## Idea We all are familiar with protocol handlers, e.g. ```html Email ``` The idea here is to use [Web-based protocol handlers](https://developer.mozilla.Codeberg.org
@kainoa this is probably the best time to point out that the @w3c has a group specifically for discussing this kind of issue.
Social Web Incubator Community Group
The Social Web Incubator Community Group (also known as SocialCG, or SWICG) is the successor of the Social Web Working Group, which ran from 2014 to 2017.www.w3.org
@kainoa fwiw I think custom protocol handlers are the best solution here

On our side, @jeremy@fedi.jeremy.hu kicked off a discussion about evolving our Share to Mastodon to be more generic:

@kainoa great.
Probably the big overlooked item here is that ActivityPub does include a standard API, which would make this process pretty clean.
@kainoa Could you expand on that? I'm not sure I understand where the API would fit in here, so I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious :)
To me, API means that the visitor aiming to share the post would have to authenticate to their ActivityPub instance to be able to push an update there, but I do not imagine folks would be interested in entering private credentials on sites that are not theirs just to share a post.
Or do you think we should provide the service that would cover all of that? You'd click on the share button, a modal for a service hosted on WordPress.com would open, and there you'd authenticate, then modify / customize the message you want to post, and hit send?

in reply to billy joe bowers - Harris2024 • • •I recently read about a new British satirical comedy show, where the actors impersonate other public figures (a fairly standard format) but unlike the old school impressionists they are just using the actors as literal "meatsacks" for the body movements and replacing their faces with AI generated ones (like how many computer games are already made), which seems particularly dystopian (I never thought I'd end up feeling nostalgic for Mike Yarwood!)
