What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

Yeah, I caught a lot of criticism from people thinking I intentionally broke account migration, when it really was just a simple bug that was the problem.

Glad it's fixed, and I hope it's clear that I'm building these open source platforms for humanity.

I would never intentionally disrupt such a core tenant of ActivityPub like Account Migration for any reason.

I love you guys, and am dedicated to building better, ethical alternatives.

❤️

Slam dunk … this photo of two frogs in Biddeford, Maine, US, is shortlisted for the Comedy Wildlife Photography awards: Sterna People’s Choice category. The photographer, Grayson Bell, said: ‘These two frogs were fighting over their territory in our pond. It looked to me like one of them was getting baptised against his will’

看到站友貼毛蟲吃植物的圖

想起小時候看過一本童話故事合集,其中一篇說一棵植物孤單的生長在路旁,也渴望朋友

後來來了隻蝴蝶,蝴蝶跟它分享外面的世界,又圍著它飛舞,植物覺得自己是全世界最幸福的

然後有一天蝴蝶說自己要走了,想拜托植物照顧牠的孩子。植物很傷心,但還是答應了。它小心翼翼的看著蝴蝶留下的卵,想像蝴蝶的孩子也像牠母親一樣在自己身邊翩翩起舞

結果一隻毛蟲出來了,毫不留情的啃食植物的葉,然後植物一邊哭一邊喊「我是你媽媽最好的朋友啊」…就這樣結束了自己的一生

當年看完久久不能忘懷,也覺得有哪個人把這種故事放進童書裡這麼反人類呢?而且這故事是暗喻孤單沒有伴的人如果突然遇到人故作親近,都是不懷好意的吧…

RE: mastodon.social/@pixelfed/1160

As a lot of you people were before complaining (with a good reason) that the account migration from one pixelfed server to another one wasn't working.

It seems it's fixed now!

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @evanEvan Prodromou An AS2 Collection cannot be a timeline (in general). It’s not even ordered. An AS2 OrderedCollection (a subtype of Collection) might be ordered by time or not, so it’s also not a timeline (in general). When they are ordered by some time value (unspecified in AP) they are often called “streams” in the spec. The Mastodon content timelines are not the same as AP activity streams although a filtered AP stream can be transformed to a content timeline.

@steveSteve Bate I think
we need to emphasize that timelines can be built from regular collections, even unordered ones, by using some intermediate representations specific to the type of timeline that a client wants to render.

The fact that the specification does not directly support a mapping between a collection and a responsive timeline, *DOES NOT MEAN* one can't be built from it, only that it requires a little more effort on the client side.

My goto example is how rich mail clients allow responsive mailbox representations on top of a much less expressive collection method that IMAP provides compared to ActivityPub.

The Privacy Working Group has published the first draft of a Group Note titled Considerations for Reviewing Differential Privacy Systems (for Non-Differential Privacy Experts). The purpose of this document is to provide a high level understanding of the trade-offs that are required when designing and deploying differentially private systems (e.g., privacy, utility, number of trusted parties).
