Cross-server Interactions in ActivityPub

There’s two general ways of trying to get all the replies in a conversation tree: crawling up and down the reply tree, and Conversational Contexts. The first is pretty good, the second is a more comprehensive approach where the metadata of the conversation accounts for responses. You can use both together.

CoSocial is part of an increasing amount of Mastodon instances that operate as a nonprofit cooperative.

CoSocial.ca: A vision for inclusive social networking in Canada - CoSocial Community Cooperative

The crisis at Twitter has led to explosive growth and interest in Mastodon, a community-run and organized alternative to Twitter. And this sudden growth has presented all of us with a unique opportunity to do social better, by providing Canadians with a safe, reliable home on the network. We have the opportunity to reimagine social media as a force for justice, equity, and inclusivity in Canada and around the world. We have the opportunity to turn back from a decade of corporatized social media that divided and exhausted us with hate speech, misinformation, and information overload. We have the opportunity to create a new kind of online community in Canada—with your leadership and support.

@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ You know, I had a problem much like this one trying to compile Rust binaries on Android Termux (Rust/Cargo install and run fine, but local C toolchain is just fucked enough that any attempt by Cargo to call out to it results in a failed build) and I wonder how much of the C toolchain Cargo expects could be packed into wasm. mastodon.social/@glyph/1149611

Glyph (@glyph@mastodon.social)

I am having a very funny experience right now where I want to run a program on my Synology NAS. "Everybody knows" that Rust's packaging situation is "good" and Python's packaging situation is "bad" but I can run whatever Python code I want because the Python community has actually invested in packaging tooling and prebuilt artifacts but Rust insists on compiling everything all the time and thus the only message I get from `cargo install` for anything non-trivial is "error: linker `cc` not found"

I'm building something which could uncharitably be described as "an open proxy providing attack amplification as a service", but which I'd rather describe as "a core part of tools like RSS feed readers": ask it to monitor a URL, and it'll check periodically to see if it has changed and tell you so. I'd like to make it a publicly available service so people can more easily build new tools for noticing when web pages change. What are some ways I can encourage good applications and discourage abuse?

Garmin Forerunner 165ちゃんこのところBluetoothを有効にするたびに何かぐるぐる通信してるなあと思ったらファームウェアの更新をもらってるらしい。電話のアプリのトップ右上から腕時計アイコンをタップしたら進行状況を確認できた。しばらく省電力モードを無効にしておこう。
