@julian@activitypub.space When I asked @reiver@mastodon.social last time, he said he’d make sure FediCon 2026 doesn’t overlap with COSCUP 2026, but I’m not sure how it’ll turn out.

Wow that is just brilliant. I love how the SFO *airport museum* staff just went off and figured out how to track items (and planes visiting the airport!) and everything in a low-cost scalable way that totally plugs into the Fediverse. Neat! :fediverse:
@mastodonmigration @hamishcampbell @_elena I won't argue with this. Having two incompatible stacks hurts the entire ecosystem. When developers and decisionmakers see that, it makes them want to sit back and wait to see what comes out on top.
I think our best mitigation for that right now is reassurance that investing time, energy and money into ActivityPub will not be a waste.
💯 Slow and steady wins the race. It is just frustrating that people are so easily distracted by bright shiny objects.
@solarbranka that's surprising; I don't think that should be possible. I'll test it more thoroughly and let you know.
Huh, didn’t know they made that claim. That was pretty stupid. Sounds impressive but now they have to defend it and by doing so invalidate their claim to copyrights.
Someone should track the own goals by these my butt companies. I want to know the score.
I knew of this claim but I didn’t believe it until I’ve seen parts of this code. It’s either written by a 13 year old script kiddie or LLM, probably both.
@hamishcampbell @_elena the good part is that this is what we should do in the best case scenario, too. So, all worthwhile.
@hamishcampbell @_elena one other thing: bridging is really important for us all right now. It's how we can tell developers to implement ActivityPub and still get access to the BlueSky audience. I hope everyone works to support BridgyFed.
So, I think there are two important things people in the Fediverse movement can do to help with these possible outcomes.
The first is to keep building on ActivityPub. I love our protocol and our ecosystem, and I think it's a wonderful network. But it's also a necessary hedge against clawback or collapse.
The optional birthDate field gives other projects a standardized data source for age verification compliance.
I think we should start calling this age attestation rather than verification, or does the confusion help us here by making the linux ecosystem seem like it’s more compliant than it is?
Not to my knowledge. Granted all I did was a 1 second kagi search so there might be something floating out there. I do feel like if he made some kind of official statement, it’d be pretty big news though.
Sears showed up on day and said they were renegotiating the deal and were only going to pay 75% of the price per mower. The company had no choice, but to accept even though they were now losing money on each unit sold. Then suddenly Sears began offering their own mower, and stopped buying any at all and the company, full of debt, was ruined.
Same as it ever was...
@tom @julian @astro There are some small differences in following between a relay and a regular actor. But it's essentially correct.
