@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @steveSteve Bate I would personally really appreciate that. I also think it'd be helpful for the ecosystem. I like that you combine a high-level social and technical approach to discussions of ActivityPub and the Social Web with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the details. It's a rare combination and extremely valuable.

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.

A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

Hello, Fediverse 👋

I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with purpose-led businesses.

I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.

Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

@onepictEsther Payne Chinese activists. The PRC has the most sophisticated and comprehensive internet censorship and filtering mechanism in the world, and importantly: they also export their technology and knowledge to other repressive regimes.

I opened a issue in the swicg ActivityPub API repo about a gap i keep running into: how does a C2S client access server-local metadata about foreign objects?

Thread collections, read status, notifications — your server knows things about remote objects that the client needs, but AP has no vocabulary for it.

Have I already mentioned that the “Show thread” request is slowly driving me crazy?

Remember the "One Laptop Per Child" project, that developed a low-cost computer for children in developing countries? I was always amazed by a certain feature: The "View Source" button.

When you pressed it, the source code for the currently running application would open. This was supposed to encourage tinkering with the software on your device! <3

I've been pondering what it would take to build that button on modern machines. Has anyone seen something like that?

(Prototype in next toot.)

Say you're writing a Rust macro. There's no way for your macro to issue a warning (not an error), right? Google finds only old discussions where people suggested this and were shot down.

(There is a crate that fakes it by doing something grody.)
