@smallcircles @echo_pbreyer Yea this sucks, the eu is often does wonderful things but it is also deeply flawed as seen here. The only fix for it is treaty reforms and unfortunately it is unlikely that member states will agree on such reforms any time soon...
Starting September 2026, Google will require every Android app developer to register centrally, provide government ID, and submit signing key evidence. Apps from unregistered developers will be blocked on all certified devices worldwide. This threatens F-Droid, open-source distribution, and user autonomy.

@pikesley it begins...
Greetings #fediverse
So far we have received 20€ out of 350€ which we intend to use and buy 3 trucks of gravel to complete backfilling the house floor.
Our gravel is totally finished and we still have some place to backfill and I really needs some assistant to buy gravel.
It’s not been easy but if anyone can help we will kindly accept it through our #donation links. ⬇️

Bon ben ça y est, on atteind à nouveau pratiquement 30°C dans le bureau. Mon cerveau n'est plus fonctionnel. 🫠 Je veux sieste.
@sebsauvage Normal. Déjà à 27° j'ai du mal à me concentrer correctement mais passé les 30°, c'est pas la peine, je suis en mode survie et donc le travail est exclu d'office 🤣

🇪🇺 The European Parliament lets #ChatControl 1.0 go through despite a majority voting against it (314:276) – allowing mass scanning of private chats until 2028. Survivors are warning. My analysis and why this is the wrong approach 👇
@echo_pbreyer Tried my best by emailing and calling my MEPs. Of course most of them ignored me or they weren't in office.
It's frustrating.
Thanks for being on the right side of this s**t.
My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite
https://andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html
@andrewrk Thank you for talking about it. it's a banger
One thing I keep coming back to when comparing #ActivityPub and AT Protocol: ActivityPub is basically a convention on top of the #web stuff we already have. An actor is a JSON-LD document you GET. An inbox is an endpoint you POST to. If you already run a website, you can bolt this on without changing the site's basic shape. Ghost didn't set out to join the #fediverse, and then years later it could, just by adding an endpoint.
AT Protocol feels less like that to me. Running a PDS means a signed repo, a Merkle search tree, a firehose, a DID. It's not a layer you add to an existing site. It's closer to standing up another backend beside it.
I think that's why ActivityPub keeps making sense to me. You can join later. You don't have to have built the whole thing with federation in mind from day one.
One insightful point is that under conditions where people wanted tech to make government work better, there is not a shared mental model for how that is supposed to work, and what role tech should play. In this respect the field of digital services is still immature in finding a clear policy niche.
What mathematical construct is closest to your gender?

This remains one of my least favorite features of #ActivityPub.
1. It violates fundamental type safety principles.
2. "without authentication" means that it needs to be accessible to random people on the internet if read literally, and evidently changing this (along with "we should all require transport layer security") are controversial opinions in fediverse development.
3. Literally everything about that Note makes me die inside.
4. Yet another example of how "there are no servers in ActivityPub" is undermined by the spec. Because this entire concept and its use cases assume a server. "There are no servers" has always been a fiction, but this illustrates the tension.
5. It is the kind of thing that could be better implemented by using actors, but the protocol is unwilling to take that route for how to implement features.

Hey #wildfire "enthusiasts"/community responders/concerned citizens - how do you prepare for wildfires at your home? Where I live now in France we are getting pummeled with fires at a historic rate, I have not seen any community preparedness efforts like I saw in the #California Bay Area for example since I don't think people here are really used to them in the same way... And where I grew up we didn't have wildfires, so I don't know much practical stuff.
Do you have a go bag, and if so, what's in it?
I have a corsi-rosenthal air purifier already FWIW.
