What if…
…just hear me out…
…what if “web three point oh” is really just…
…whatever #ActivityPub continues to evolve into?
The web historically has been about the publishing of content and interactive UIs.
RSS introduced the concept of a feed.
With ActivityPub, it's actor<->actor operating on an ongoing list of new activities.
What are those activities? From what I understand…could be pretty much anything imaginable!
The stuff we've seen: microblogging, photos, etc. Just the beginning!

This new video is the kind of journalism which can end Putins war in Ukraine.
Using hundreds of sources, A BBC team has connected the dots and uncovered, how the Russian army suffered enormous losses in the battle of Vuhledar, while commanders and generals insisted everything was fine.
I hope this gets a billion boosts.

The usage of the Vision API for generating image description in @IceCubesApp is steady!
Supply chain impacts, again, with carriers routing around cape rather than using Red Sea-Suez Canal.
There is something contradictory about a government that presides over a situation where regulation of cellcos failed to spot the gaping whole in security of personal communications (access to voicemail), that permits official communications to be conducted over a network (encrypted) operated by a foreign power, yet seeks to deny its citizens access to secure encrypted communications.

How on earth could that happen?
Ah, wait one, I know…

I don’t understand email. How do I know which email service to choose? Won’t I be stuck only communicating with people on the same server? How will people find me? What if I don’t like my service and have to change my email address? Or if my service goes out of business? Why do some email providers charge money and others are free? Will I get ads in my email? It’s all so confusing. Why don’t we all agree on one giant email server that we all use that is secure and benevolent and free?
