Apparently, Bookwyrm stores quotations with:

type="Quotation"

And if one Bookwyrm server talks to another Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:

type="Quotation"

...

BUT — if a non-Bookwyrm server talks to a Bookwyrm server, then — the ActivityPub / ActivityStreams representation of the quotation will have:

type="Note"

There are examples of the extensions makes, which are on the (commonly taken) path of protocol decay and whack-a-mole programming by their non-conformance, unfortunately.

Yet that means there's opportunity for 's if there are more parties. 😃

Here's an example of Quotation, which has no LD context:

github.com/bookwyrm-social/boo

And here of Edition which is incorrectly placed in context:

Can you imagine what would look like if code of conduct violations were actually enforced? Especially against our white supremacists? Refreshing to be reminded that world could exist if we wanted it.

Good for the PSF and its moderators for maintaining a healthy community. 👏🏽 social.jacobian.org/@jacob/115

Europe is locking itself in to US LNG

Link: davekeating.substack.com/p/aft
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

After escaping Russian energy dependence, Europe is locking itself in to US LNG

The US energy secretary says the quiet part out loud: the tributary $750 billion in energy purchases the EU has promised in its Trump deal is meant to lock Europe into "long-term" energy dependence.

Quotations & the Fediverse / ActivityPub

1/

One thing I used to do a lot on social-media is — post quotations.

Sometimes I was reading a book. And, I would quote things from the book and post it on social-media.

Or I was reading a scholarly paper, or reading a blog post, or watching a video, or listening to a podcast, etc.

...

I was thinking — how could you represent a quotation in ActivityPub‽

“[And yet another book that made an argument that was in favor of human universals is] Brent Berlin and Paul Kay’s [book] "Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution" (1969).” “by the early 1970s two independent lines of psychological research, culminating in studies conducted among preliterate peoples of New Guinea, had shown that there are universal facial expressions of emotions.” “Berlin and Kay show that although color classification does vary, it also shows remarkable uniformities: particularly in the sequence in which basic color terms are added to the lexicon.” “Anthropologists and linguists had long known that the way colors are classified varies from language to language. Careful studies conducted by anthropologists after World War II, such as Harold Conklin’s (1955) study of Hanunóo color words, made the point very clearly.” “The different sets of words for color in various languages …”

To continue to beat this dead horse, I literally just used the Link: tag in a patch that was committed to fix a WARN_ON() to see if it was part of a series. It was, and now I can make sure the whole thing is backported. Just because some people don't find it useful doesn't mean it's useless.

Well, this is fun. I just released an update to About by PCalc on iOS and Mac, but the Mac App Store version won't install for me on Tahoe. It just sits there at 0% installing.

Downloads just fine on macOS 15.

apps.apple.com/gb/app/about-by

This is the first Mac app I’ve built on the release version of Tahoe itself. Wondering if building on Tahoe somehow makes an app that's not installable on Tahoe.

There's a thread of people seeing similar things on the developer forums:

About by PCalc on the App Store

‎About by PCalc

‎About by PCalc is the former About screen of our scientific calculator app PCalc. It was partially an excuse to learn how to program 3D graphics, but mainly I wanted to make the most fun About screen ever. It started just as a 3D icon that you could play with and throw bananas at, then there was a…
