I sat down with @snarfed.org to talk about his work around the #fediverse, the #indieweb and the #atmosphere including (fed.)brid.gy and @anewsocial
https://openchannels.fm/connecting-decentralized-social-networks-and-rethinking-interoperability/
@quillmatiq you should post about this on the @anewsocial account!
@liaizon Tysm for the heads up!

Continuing to look for an alternative to "attachment" (for properly supporting an Actor specifying a list of Service actors associated with it) —
Maybe a custom top-level attribute would be useful.
Maybe something like:
"service": [
{
"rel":"callpub",
"href":"https://videocalls.example/users/joeblow"
}
]
Although perhaps that is not much better than "attachment", if you just care about calls
So —
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

But, what about the non- fall-back situation where software could properly support this (when an Actor specifies a list of Service actors associated with it)‽
I think some might say, put the associated Service actors in "attachment". And, semantically I think that would work with ActivityPub, but — I have a very strong dislike with putting everything in "attachment" (and "tag"). It makes parsing difficult.
So —
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

Looking for an alternative to "attachment" (for properly supporting an Actor specifying a list of Service actors associated with it) —
I think using "alsoKnownAs" and "sameAs" would be a poor choice. And, the semantics are wrong.
For example: a Service actor might represent my mobile phone (or software on it). My phone is not me. It is something I have.
So —
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall

AFAIK, there isn't a way for an ActivityPub Actor (such as a Person actor) to specify a list of Service actors associated with it.
...
For example, imagine that there is a Service actor that represents a way to make a video call to me.
And, for example, I have my Mastodon Person actor.
And, I want to let people know about it (and other Service actors associated with me).
How do I do that using AP, etc?
...
#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #AudioCall #Call #FediDev #Fediverse #VideoCall
After all, why not? Why shouldn’t I post it here?
It’s a list of lists of Fediverse instances. Also, it contains some other lists of lists like this one. And a couple of miscellaneous resources. Tor tips can be ignored, they are region-specific.
Originally, I was trying to find a dataset, where for each instance there’s a list of other instances it blocked/federated/defederated. In the process of trying to find this data I’ve compiled this list. Do you happen to know where I can find such data?
There’s also FediDB if you’d like to help keep that up to date.
Steaming platforms have worked for quite a while in Linux. Been a while since I had Netflix, but it worked just fine when I did. Disney+ and Hulu work.
linux users are allowed to watch the show in compressed 720p. that’s it.
Every open social protocol generates shared resources, but none has produced a governance framework adequate to those resources. So who fills that vacuum?
I consider the article’s criticisms of SMTP, HTTP, XMPP, etc. (and IRC which was not mentioned but falls in the same category) to be positive and desirable traits and I think it’s a shame that the article characterizes them negatively. HTTP’s job is not to prevent corporate takeover of the web and I don’t think it should be. That’s our job, as people. The protocol’s job is to remain neutral so that when corporate takeover of the web happens, HTTP is still there, open to everybody, providing an offramp to escape it, because it’s neutral. It doesn’t belong to the corporations. It belongs to everybody. They can try to take it over if they wish, embrace and extend, but they can’t extinguish a fire that’s smoldering underground no matter how hard they try. It will always be there, ready to flare up at a moment’s notice. The original is always still there ready for us to revert to using it at any time.
And many of us already have. Fuck Google, fuck Cloudflare, fuck AWS, they’ll never take the web from us.

I came across this article on Reddit.
Apparently, Odysee plans on adding the ability for users to be able to watch any YouTube video on Odysee, regardless on whether or not the creator or video is even on Odysee.
Hmm. Several years ago I checked out Odysee. I was a little put off by the quantity of FAR right-wing videos on their top viewed category.
I might try again and see if the nut job popularity has shrunk.
It’s only gotten worse, far as I’m aware. Right wing grifters and crypto grifters.
Is “the darkness” what we’re calling “wherever Putin tells her to hide”?
I hope we don’t see that in Canada. We definitely looked that way last election but the yellow party had a pretty weak showing and the red party took a lot of votes to prevent the blue party from winning. Hopefully things reset a bit next election.
