my solution to the button would be to push it with a paper towel between the button and my finger. Because some people will push it before washing their hands (some people don't wash their hands at all).
I am not scanning some QR-code because that takes too much time and I want to be out of there as fast as I can thankyouverymuch.

How about "257 Innocence Project victories to date"? Could you belive that?

@davidgerard the LLMs have a special trick. Watch their unique tendency of qualifying mundane or trivial things. Their genius way saves so much clarity, only their writing can achieve the vacous hyperbole that is their birthright.

I ran into this while working on the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, and I could not find a FEP that covers it.

Our actor ids used to be built from the permalink, so https://example.com/@handle. The id contains the handle, which means changing the handle changes the id. We are moving to an id that does not contain the handle. The origin stays the same, the WebFinger address stays the same, only the id changes.

FEP-7628 gives me the right signal for this, the Move activity. But the receiving behaviour it describes does not fit. It says a follower should Undo the follow of the old actor and Follow the new one. In my case both ids are the same actor, on the same origin, with the same inbox and the same followers collection. Unfollowing and following again is noise at best, and for an actor that approves followers manually the new follow arrives as a request, so people can quietly lose their followers.

The other migration FEPs do not cover it either, as far as I can see:

• FEP-e965 describes the actor object after a migration between personas.
• FEP-1580 does allow the target instance to be the same as the source, but only for migrating objects after an actor move, and it requires FEP-8b32 proofs. Here the origin never changes, so the authority over both ids never changes, and there is nothing to prove.
• FEP-a427 is a domain move, and its mapping rules (replace the origin, replace a path prefix) cannot express a change from /@handle to ?author=5.

So I would like to write a small FEP that relies on FEP-7628 and describes only this one case. Roughly:

• the old id has to stay dereferenceable and carries movedTo
• the new actor lists the old id in alsoKnownAs, so the Move can be verified
• WebFinger for the unchanged address returns the new id
• a receiver updates the id it has stored and keeps the follow, instead of undoing and following again
• no object integrity proof is needed, because the origin did not change

What I am not sure about is whether this should be its own FEP or a section in FEP-e965. There are a few migration FEPs already and I do not want to add one just to add one. But the receiver behaviour here contradicts FEP-7628 rather than clarifying it, and that felt wrong to put inside somebody else's document. Happy to be told otherwise.

It also does not solve the object side. Object ids change on the same origin too, for example when the permalink structure changes, and I have no answer for that yet.

@timbray I went with a .ca for the first time earlier this year, when I registered a domain for the first time in decades. I also got the .org, but did note that was controlled by the U.S. (which I'm trying to avoid these days).

There's a method (used during sizing text) to retrieve the width of a glyph within an "external font".

There's method to precache certain glyphs from an external font.

To measure Thai text it asks the Thai shaper to "shape" a list of "clusters" before summing up the advance-X for all the glyphs within. To draw Thai text it retrieves those clusters & a start-Y deferring each cluster to another method, which iterates over the glyphs.

4/5?

You do realise this isn't for flushing, right?

we need to start a new movement called good software. software that is good, and does good, for the public good.

the freedom part is the wrong focus. it's a misaligned value judgement. you can write free software that bombs children. you can have a free software project maintained by a fascist or a rapist. software that bombs children, by the very definition, can never be good. projects where fascists and rapists are allowed into positions of power are, by the very definition, not good.

@thomasfuchs no but you don’t get it it’s so hard to have to actively not send millions of dollars to a facist

#Fedilab lets you read timelines in reverse order (most recent messages at the bottom). I know "reverse" is not the right word, and some of you called it "natural" or "normal" order.
This feature, and especially its support across Fedilab with all its specificities, was really a lot of work, mostly in fixes. But I think we now have something stable. Thanks for your patience.
