The spike in usage in Mastodon and the recent announcement by Tumblr, makes ActivityPub at least just as interesting, and actually even more interesting, than any of the blockchains 🤷🏽‍♂️

Running a poll on #Twitter trying to gauge interest around adding #ActivityPub to #Flickr. https://twitter.com/DonMacAskill/status/1597256480519966720

TIL: Masto has polls too. 😂 https://sfba.social/@d0n/109422647995225732

@jarbochov One of the reasons I'm asking in multiple places. :)

A lot of people are asking, "Is the Fediverse doomed to be crushed because of storage capacity needed for instances?"

No.

It is possible to create a P2P content distribution system. We're already seeing some of that with PeerTube.

And my team at #GreatApe are also devising a solution.

@tchambers yay! It may make flickr great again 😁

A recent scoop by Reuters revealed that mobile apps for the U.S. Army and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were integrating software that sends visitor data to a Russian company called Pushwoosh, which claims to be based in the United States.

But that story omitted an important historical detail about Pushwoosh: In 2013, one of its developers admitted to authoring the Pincer Trojan, malware designed to surreptitiously intercept and forward text messages from Android mobile devices. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2022/11/u-s-govt-apps-bundled-russian-code-with-ties-to-mobile-malware-developer/

Ada Lovelace died #OTD in 1852, at the age of 36. In her 1843 supplement to Babbage’s Analytical Engine, simply titled Notes, she outlined four essential concepts that would shape the birth of modern computing a century later. #WomenInSTEM

i might have my criticisms of mastodon, but the founder of post is out here pretending “net worth” is a protected category to signal you can’t make fun of billionaires on his a16z-funded twitter alternative

Trump incriminates himself AGAIN, the GOP goes FULL FASCIST and demands companies pay Elon Musk, Arizona MAGAs have a complete meltdown and more!

"I am going to leave out context and put my own spin on things so I can continue pandering to the far right audience that I have!"

With the amount of lies/promises this fascist oligarch has made over the years...if anyone believes a word of what will come out from him on what he calls "free speech suppression", then you can sell them a box of rocks!

Metatext (my favorite iOS app for Mastodon) is looking for a new maintainer or organization to take on its maintenance and development. Are you an #iOS dev looking for a new project or an open source advocacy group that wants to see the fediverse healthy and strong? Shoot @metabolist an email at info@metabolist.org if interested!

Pretty incredible to think that attacking your advertisers for cutting back their spending is going to cause more companies to advertise.

Remember Tesla, somewhat famously, refuses to advertise at all. According to [checks notes] Elon Musk, apparently that means Tesla is against free speech
