Inversion Sunrise, Scottish Highlands (2024).
The recent cold snaps in the UK have made me think back to some excellent mornings a couple years ago in the Highlands where I explored a rewilding glen in inversion conditions. The glowing light and sub zero temperatures in the birch lined valley made for stunning photographic opportunities.

I just found this amazing online resource
that I feel many people in the US might find incredibly helpful right now: https://commonslibrary.org/
Oh, that's really nice: a lot of podcasts related to social change and activism.
.... I know what I'm going to do at the weekend :)

MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — The faith leaders, who hail from across the country and represent a range of religious traditions, deployed to neighborhoods with significant immigrant populations, where DHS agents have been most active.

An originally closed event platform is now publishing events to the open web through atproto, and you can see and interact with the events through other apps now too

I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.
So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc.

@slyborg most importantly: no protocol is mandatory. No protocol revision is mandatory. If the work the WG does isn't useful, nobody has to implement it.
@julian @silverpill @slyborg the issues I have marked for the next version are here.
https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Next%20version%22
I know there are some on there that Silverpill won't like, such as supporting IRIs for object IDs. I think it's worth having that conversation.
Honestly, so proud of #Minnesota. THAT is what being an American is about.
Take my energy y'all
아직도 준비할게 한창이지만 그만큼 분량도 길어서 내일 4시간을 쭉 달려도 다 못할테니 일단 여기서 준비 마쳐야지....
If we enumerate possible design choices there are thousands of possible social media platforms - but is anyone actually good?
Are better experiences to be found within this vast configuration space or do we need a more fundamental rethink?
And how can we go about finding out?
Minnesota is leading the way toward a general strike to grind down Trump's hostile takeover of America

I’m helping Indivisible Santa Fe with a campaign to show support for #Minnesota today. Somebody just sent us this graphic!
@lcamtuflcamtuf 
that matches my short list: I look at 1, 2, 3. For 4, I know about it, but I only use them as switches (i.e. <1 hz), so gate capacitance isn't an issue for me. Thanks!

Ported some in-request HTML munging from beautifulsoup (+ lxml) to selectolax (lexbor), and saved over 150ms!
Maybe beautifulsoup has had its day... Even JustHTML was about on-par with bs4 + lxml, and that's pure Python.
#TwinCities Workers #Strike Against #ICE. Two Hundred Cities Follow.
https://migrantinsider.com/p/twin-cities-workers-strike-against
As two hundred and fifteen cities prepare to walk out today in solidarity with #Minneapolis, the whole world is watching.
God bless our brave neighbors in Minnesota.
If Anyone Can Pull Off a General Strike, It’s Minnesotans
The massive outpouring of support for Friday’s day of action against ICE builds on long-term organizing that residents of the North Star State have tended to for a long time.

#ActivityPub is getting its first formal update path since 2018. I wrote about why this matters, how this leads to some strange and funny power dynamics, and about who actually participate

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fediversereport/115905739520020086
It does feel like #activitypub has been frozen in amber, maybe this will help. I'm hoping #mastodon developers get involved or its very hard to see how things will change.
Especially the Live Online Account Portability stuff which #atprotocol just has from the get go.

Odin saw two teenage girls making the "aww how cute" face from across the street, and he planted himself down and stared at them until they crossed the street to pet him.
While working on #Fedify, I noticed something about how #Misskey handles #ActivityPub object access. When a remote server requests a followers-only post or DM with a valid HTTP Signatures (draft-cavage) from an authorized actor, Misskey still returns 404 instead of the content. It seems Misskey only checks the visibility field (public/home) without verifying the signature at all.
#Mastodon takes a different approach—when #authorized_fetch is enabled, it validates the HTTP Signatures and returns the content if the requesting actor has permission. I think it would be beneficial if Misskey could adopt a similar mechanism, since it would better respect the access control semantics that ActivityPub intends. Has anyone else run into this, or are there specific reasons Misskey handles it this way?
For reference, Fedify makes implementing this kind of fine-grained access control quite straightforward—you can check the Fine-grained access control section in the documentation.
@lcamtuflcamtuf Nice, and I found your updated illustrations in the radio article too.
I find I go back and forth on the "paper" background of the illustration.[1] It is nice to have a delineation of the figure area but the fill sometimes gives me the feeling of a different paper taped inside a notebook.
[1] Here is a 'corner' on my display where the paper effect background is shown:

Cryptographic public-keys are one way that one can have an identity (on the Fediverse, and elsewhere) while also having privacy — through a pseudonymous identity.
Yes, we have Fediverse IDs such as:
＠joeblow＠example.com
But a (non-delegated) public-key can function as a PORTABLE form of identity on the Fediverse.
